Reasons to Get a Personal Trainer

June 2, 2015

One of the most important things you have to maintain in your life is your health. It is very easy to get off track and gain a lot of weight, but you have to get yourself back on track to live a healthy and productive live. Trying to get back into shape is a lot easier said than done and in most cases you will need some help to get you over the hump. The best way to get your body back in shape in no time is by finding a personal trainer. Here are a few of the reasons why you need a personal trainer.
Staying Motivated is Key
One of the first things you can gain from getting a personal trainer is a never ending source of motivation. In order to stay on track and get the results you are looking for you will need someone who is there telling you can do it and how to dig deep and attain what you want. The more positivity you are able to bring to this process, the easier you will find it to get the right results from your healthy lifestyle.
Learning About Health and Fitness
Another benefit you will be able to gain when choosing to work with a physical therapist is their knowledge of all things health and fitness related. In order to make a success of your fitness journey, you will have to know what to do. Your trainer will be able to help you work out a diet plan and fitness routine that will be easy to follow. The time and energy you spend developing these things will be more than worth it in the end. Make sure you search around to find a reputable trainer to work with.
There When you Need Them
Another benefit you can gain when using a personal trainer is their level of availability. By choosing to work one on one with a trainer, you will be able to set the times you want to meet. This will allow you to keep the convenience factor at a high and get the workout that you need. Be sure to take some time and do your research to find out which trainer in your area will be bet equipped to handle the needs you have. The time you spend doing this will be well worth it in the end.
When looking for great trainers, be sure to call on bio3 fitness. They have been in the industry for many years and can help you achieve the level of fitness you want. Call them or go to their website for more information.

Review: Quarterly Box by Bianca Jade MizzFIT

June 11, 2014

I ordered my first Quarterly Box by Bianca Jade MizzFIT; a subscription service curated by influential industry insiders. The subscription service is curated by some very well known influencers in fitness, entertainment, food, music etc. I know of Bianca Jade AKA MizzFIT through her YouTube videos so I was very interested in seeing which health and fitness products she recommends.

The subscription service is $50 every three months (quarterly). Each month has a theme and the theme of this box is Relax, Restore, Rev Up! This is all about what you do post workout which is just as important as what you do during your workout. The first item is one week subscription to Vidergize an online membership site where you can indulge in Pilates or Yoga classes. I am a total yoga lover, I find yoga so relaxing and it helps me feel more balanced. Try it if you haven’t, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do. There was also a coupon for 50% off a sports bra from Gym Girl Apparel. I haven’t tried this brand but I can always use a great sports bra and 50% off is a great deal so I’ll probably order one.

As for physical products in the box there’s a Norma Kamali Beauty Solutions Pack: Olive Calcium Linament, Massage Oil and a luscious extra-large bar of natural soap. These products smell delicious and are all natural which is a plus. I’m really trying to move towards an all natural lifestyle and this is a perfect start. You can recognize all the ingredients in the products which is so important! Norma Kamali is known as a “well-preneur” and has a Wellness Cafe is NYC, a true inspiration.

The skin on your lips is an important part of your skin care routine. If you workout often outdoors then you’re already aware that your lips can get chapped in very warm or very cold weather. Bianca Jade uses Treatment by Lanshin balm to keep her lips hydrated and you can get this homemade balm exclusively in the quarterly box.

The box also has a Thermos Filtration Bottle – great for those who refuse to drink tap water (like myself)! I’m always buying water bottles so this is handy for my gym days when I run out of water; I can just fill it up with some tap water. The thermos is pretty tall and hold 20 oz. of water.

If you’ve worked out a little too hard then you may have some muscle strain and cold therapy may be exactly what your body needs. The Thera Pearl Ice Pack can give soothing relief for sore muscles, swelling, sprains etc. The best part of that the Thera Pearl can be used for either cold therapy or hear therapy (just freeze or heat in the microwave).

Now we all know that protein after a workout is essential for muscle growth so this health and fitness box would not be complete with protein bars. We have two Clean, Lean & Sexy Bars: Almond and Cashew. They’re protein-rich, gluten-free, dairy-free and all natural. And if you’re feeling like you need boost after a tough workout there’s a sample of Genesis Pure Energy with wheatgrass to ease fatigue.

I love the Quarterly concept of having professionals curate industry specific boxes with their favorite items along with exclusive products that you won’t find anywhere else. Have you tried Quarterly?

Review: Nike FuelBand SE

June 8, 2014

Fitness is a huge part of my life. I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to improve myself since I’m trying to get more fit. So getting a Nike FuelBand SE was an easy decision. There are several fitness bands on the market but what stood out most for me was the LED display where I can easily check how many calories I’ve burned, the amount of steps taken, the time and several other stats and messages.

Now that I’ve played with my new gadget for a few days I see how addictive it can be -but in a good way! I set my Nike Fuelband to alert me every hour to get moving. There have been several health reports that sitting for hours can shave years off your life so I feel its important to be active and move as much as possible. Once my alert goes off I stretch or walk around; when I’m at home I do some jumping jacks. It’s amazing how much we sit! I know that many of us work in an office or behind a computer for hours but that is still no excuse not to get moving.

The Nike+ FuelBand SE has Bluetooth connectivity for continuous syncing to your iPhone which is my one of my other favorite gadgets. It also allows social connectivity with other Nike+ users. You can also publish your stats to Twitter or Facebook if you want to show off a bit. 😉

The Nike+ FuelBand SE measures all your movements and translates them into points. You can earn “trophies” which is inspiring for anyone into a little friendly competition. The fitness band tracks activities, such as runs, bicycle rides, soccer games, yoga and sleep. When you reach your goal, the LED lights illuminates and a message pops up to congratulate you.

I’m loving mine so far and if you’re into fitness and (I hope you are )then getting a fitness band just makes sense. Getting (and staying) in shape is not easy and this particular fitness gadget gives me a little more motivation to keep moving, inspiration to reach a new goal and a congratulation for my hard-earned workout.

5 Summer Fitness Tips You Can’t Ignore!

June 27, 2013

The summer has officially started, and that means it’s time to start focus on looking your best! Shaping up for summer is a pretty common goal, as we all like to try our hardest to look toned, thin, healthy and happy when it’s warm and sunny outside. However, preparing for the season isn’t enough – it’s also important to keep up your fitness efforts as the summer progresses! Whether your summer consists of hanging out at home, taking trips to a great beach, or even a vacation at a high-class destination like the ARIA in Las Vegas, you’ll want to keep looking your fittest and healthiest. So here are 5 good tips for keeping extra weight and flab off.

1. Eat Breakfast

Alright, so you’ve probably heard this one before in more than one fitness tips article. The reason? It works! Breakfast helps you to keep extra pounds off in a few different ways. To begin with, a small nutritional breakfast keeps you from being inordinately hungry come lunchtime, and helps you to avoid large portions and unhealthy snacks. Additionally, breakfast gives you an energy boost, which can make you more inclined to stay active. Finally, putting something in your stomach early also helps to boost your metabolism, meaning you’ll burn calories more efficiently.

2. Implement Resistance Training

Staying in shape isn’t just about cardio exercise – resistance training is crucial as well. Lifting weights not only helps to keep your muscles toned and shapely, but also fires up your metabolism like nothing else. In the 48 hours following a weight training session, your body is a calorie-burning machine.

3. Vary Your Cardio

Increasingly, trainers and fitness professionals caution against constant distance running for exercise. Running is an efficient way to burn calories, but try to vary your cardio routines. Keep your body guessing by working in cycling and swimming, or even activities like jumping jacks or jump rope. Try running in short, speedy bursts some days, instead of always in methodical long-distance stretches.

4. Find Fun Exercise

The best way to keep those extra pounds off during the summer is to find fun ways to get exercise. It might mean playing a sport outside with friends, or even riding the waves at the beach. Whatever the case, summer begs for outdoor activity, and staying active outside keeps you from needing boring ordinary exercise.

5. Stay Hydrated

Finally, try to drink a bit more water than usual this summer. It’s easier to get dehydrated in warm or dry summer climates, and dehydration keeps you inactive and lazy. Keeping yourself properly hydrated is essentially like keeping yourself fueled – happy, active, and comfortable.
