Half Push-Ups

This clip shows the correct way of doing half push ups.

In order to make your half push ups more effective it’s important to keep your body in a straight line, stay over top of your arms, keep your core tight, elbows out, and focus on your chest while performing the exercise.

If you have problems doing half push ups because they hurt your shoulders or elbows… then these tips might help you to be able to do them once again. I’ve found with alot of people I’ve helped, it’s just a matter of re-adjusting form… sometimes it’s not, but alot of time it is.

Benefits of Bootcamp Classes

outdoors fitness classThe Benefits of a Bootcamp

A fitness bootcamp is designed to get a person into shape in a short amount of time.

You may be wondering exactly what a fitness bootcamp entails. It is a program that includes cardiovascular conditioning exercises, body and free weight exercises, isometric conditioning, and interval training. A bootcamp program is a complete workout strategy that targets each part of the body in a variety of ways. You will find that bootcamps, just like weight training, will help you increase your lean muscle mass and burn fat quickly.

Another benefit of bootcamps is the fact that they are taught in groups rather than one-on-one training sessions. When working as a team, members are able to feed off of the energy of the other members and get a fantastic workout! You also get to meet new people and make new friends while burning LOTS of calories and fat at the same time! (I do have some clients that do private bootcamp sessions, one-on-one, but bootcamps are usually done in a group atmosphere)

Bootcamp sessions are designed to be conducted at a faster and more aerobic pace than common workout programs. They are for people that are trying to lose weight in a very short time frame and they take a person that is willing to put in the effort that is needed to achieve their goals. Even if you don’t have any weight to lose… They are still a great workout and make you very FIT!

Another great benefit of bootcamps is that it is a little more cost effective than personal training, one-on-one, sessions. So it’s a great alternative than trying to workout on your own. It’s never a bad idea to workout alone, but nothing can compare to working out under the guidance of a professional trainer.

And last, but not least, a fitness bootcamp or a weight training program are not only about improving your looks, but about enhancing your strength and building lean muscle mass. If a person enhances their strength it makes it easy to perform everyday tasks. Having increased strength will reduce the wear and tear on the body which will make it less prone to injuries.

If you want to get in great shape in record time then a bootcamp program is the place for you!

Potatoes… A Great Source of Energy!

PotatoPotatoes… A Great Source of Energy!

You don’t know how many times that I’ve heard that potatoes are not good for you, that you shouldn’t eat them, and that they’ll make you fat, but I’m here to tell you they are a great source of complex carbohydrates and will only make you fat if you prepare them incorrectly and put the wrong toppings on them.

Frying potatoes or any food, for that matter, is one of the worst ways to prepare them. Also topping your healthy potato with butter, sour cream, cheese, or bacon bits are really the things that make you fat, not the potato itself. If prepared correctly and with the right toppings, potatoes are a great energy source to add to your diet. They can help you to push harder during your exercise routines helping you to burn more calories and lose more weight.

Potatoes are a very nutritious vegetable with great health benefits. They are very high in vitamin C. One medium potato contains 45% of the vitamin C that is commended for good health. Potatoes are also high in fiber and contain more potassium than a banana.

Potatoes are naturally low in calories and contain no fat, sodium, or cholesterol. The skins of the potatoes supply a beneficial dose of fiber, iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, and several B vitamins.

You can cook potatoes in a variety of ways like boiling them, baking them, steaming them, roasting them, microwaving them, mashing them, and even making them into french fries… all in a healthy way, of course!

Taking Before Pictures

Reno Fitness Trainer Clifta Coulter Perez talks about taking before pics to help you stay on track with your workout & nutrition program. Photos are a great way to help keep you motivated and show you the changes you’ve made from the start of your new program. Especially if you are working by yourself and don’t have a trainer’s second pair of eyes to help you see those changes.
