Staying Healthy & Fit During Pregnancy

2011-03-23T15:15:00.000-06:00

Finding out you are pregnant can be a very exciting and yet overwhelming time. How will you manage work, family, financial obligations, and still maintain a low stress and healthy lifestyle? One of the most important things you can do while you are pregnant to help keep a positive outlook on life is maintaining a good fitness/workout routine. Working out releases endorphins that make you mentally sharper and give you the ability to manage daily tasks more efficiently and smoothly. It releases stress and helps maintain a more positive body image. Exercise makes you and your baby healthier.

Whether you have worked out before becoming pregnant or not, there are many great health benefits to staying physically fit throughout your entire nine months:

1) Easier pregnancies and deliveries
2) Quicker recovery after delivery
3) Lower postpartum depression rates
4) Better Body Image
5) Higher Self Confidence
6) Enhanced quality of personal and professional life

So where do you get started in terms of a fitness routine when you are pregnant? Not everyone is the same -- you need to ask your doctor what is appropriate for you before starting. Here are some tips you help you get motivated and started in the right direction:

1) Find something you love doing. If you don't enjoy an exercise, chances are you won't stick with it.
2) Don't over-do it. While you are pregnant, the most important thing is just to get moving. Walking, Hiking, Yoga, Light Weight Lifting, Group Fitness Classes or other light to moderate physical activity is generally appropriate.
3) If you ever feel light headed or like you have over-exerted yourself, stop immediately.
4) Wear comfortable workout clothing for maternity. Having appropriate clothing, such a light weight or loose fitting maternity workout tops, capris, or pants, will make working out more enjoyable. There are many styles available now days for all shapes and sizes of women, and different fits to last throughout your entire 9 months.
5) Find a friend to exercise with. Nothing will make the time pass quickly and more enjoyably than sharing the time with a girlfriend or family member. Plus, it helps them get moving, too!

Pregnancy can be a fun and enjoyable time in life. No need to hide away at home -- stay happy, stay fit, and keep moving! You will be on your way to a new life and a beautiful little bundle of joy!

Importance of Walking for Fitness - Walk Off The Pounds & Lose Weight

2011-03-16T13:04:00.000-06:00

With all of the craze over aerobic type exercises and the emphasis on weight training, walking has kind of gotten left in the dust. The mentality that walking is just a waste of time in not accurate. Those other exercises are powerful ways to boost ones metabolism, lose weight, and create an overall healthier lifestyle, but walking has its own little set of benefits to offer.
For starters, some people simply do not have the stamina to jump right into a major, high intensity workout regimen. If you are very overweight or have simply been inactive for a long period of time, trying to train like a bodybuilder right out of the gates is not only impossible, but also potentially very dangerous. In addition, even if you could manage to force yourself through one workout without seriously injuring yourself, you’d be absolutely miserable. This would make you that much more likely to give up exercise altogether since it isn’t something you either enjoy or are good at.
Walking provides a kind of entry level position for first time fitness followers or for people who are trying to get back in to a healthier lifestyle. It’s also a great, low-impact exercise for those who suffer with joint pain. But walking isn’t just for beginners. It’s got some great benefits even for those who are hitting the gym 5 times a week and are in perfect health.
Here are a few health statistics that might have you rethinking your workouts and getting outdoors this spring to walk:
1) 22% lower death rate with walking 9 miles per week.
2) 18% coronary disease risk decrease with half an hour of walking per day.
3) 35% decrease in risk of heart attack or related death.
4) 34% decrease in the risk of a stroke.
That’s some pretty powerful stuff there! These are certainly some good reasons to start incorporating a walking regimen into your fitness routine.
Also, try to look for opportunities during normal daily activities to get in a few extra steps:
1) If you live close to town, walk down to the store rather than drive. A mile or two in each direction shouldn’t take you too long to complete, and as long as you aren’t trying to carry a week’s worth of groceries back, you’ll do fine.
2) And then there is always the excellent advice of parking further out in the lot and taking the stairs rather than the elevator.
3) Go for a brisk walk around the building during your lunch hour.
There are really hundreds of different ways to add some steps to your day without putting an extra strain on your schedule. Do it for your mental and physical well-being. Now is the time to take control of your health and start walking!

10 Simple Tips To A Healthier & Happier Family

2011-03-09T10:33:00.000-07:00

There are few things in life that I know for sure, but one thing I am certain of is that all of us want healthier, happier families. As a mother myself, there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the innocent smile on my daughter’s face, or hearing the delighted laughter of her older brother. It is natural to want the best for our children and our families, and that includes creating a atmosphere of fitness and health within our homes.

Healthy children are naturally happier. They are more active, they perform better in school, they are better behaved, and they tend to be more obedient. A healthy child also has a higher likelihood of being a healthy adult later in life. Creating an atmosphere of health within your home can be simple. Following is a list of 10 simple things that you can do to make your family a healthier, happier family:

1. Take your children (or spouse) grocery shopping with you and allow them to pick new fruits and veggies to taste.

2. Teach your older children how to read food labels, especially looking for sugar content.

3. Plant a garden with your children and let them help take care of it. The garden does not need to be big, even a few potted tomato plants will be enough to teach your family to appreciate fresh produce from a little effort. When you grow it yourself it always tastes better!

4. Get rid of the high sugar soft drinks and flavored drinks and replace them with good old water. Your kids will actually do better in school if they drink water.

5. Trash the processed treats and replace them with something yummy and healthy. Some of our favorites are fresh fruit, vegetables, string cheeses and greek yogurt.

6. Start incorporating more whole grains which provide many health benefits and better nutrients than refined grains. Some whole grains to make the switch to include: brown rice, whole grain crackers and breads, oatmeal, barley and whole grain pastas.

7. Take a cooking class together and invite the family to help make the family meals. Not only can new skills be learned for later on in life, but cooking together opens up the dialogue to talk about different foods, why you chose them, and their health benefits.

8. Discuss nutritious foods not only at home, but at restaurants, vending machines, school, sporting events and gas stations. Help them recognize that there are nutritious choices everywhere you go!

9. Reduce the screen time and get everyone moving! Go for a walk, play frisbee, go for a family bike ride, play tag, go bowling, go swimming, etc... Your kids will love the opportunity to be active and they’ll love doing it with you! Just remember, if you tell them it is exercise they will rebel, but if you just go out to have fun that is exactly what you will have.

10. Get your kids to bed earlier so they can get a good nights rest. Depending on their age, a child needs anywhere from 8 - 14 hours of sleep per day. A well rest child is happier and more productive.

Do not worry about doing all 10 things at once. Pick 2 or 3 items from the list that you can incorporate over the next few weeks. Introduce the ideas slowly and over time, so that it is easier and more natural for your family to embrace the changes. Be consistent, stay focused and watch as these tips help your children and your family become healthier, and by default, happier!

The Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids - Healthy Fats to Include in Your Diet

2011-03-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

The known health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are vast and ever increasing. Incorporating food rich in omega-3 such as salmon, tuna, and even some nuts, helps to give your workout nutrition a much needed boost. Despite the fact that our society has been told that we should eliminate fats from our diets if they we are to lose weight, the body does need a certain amount of daily fat in order to function properly. What is important to realize, however, is that there are good fats and bad fats. Omega-3 is a very good fat.
Omega-3 for Optimum Workouts:
Proper circulation is so very important, particularly in the midst of a workout. Omega-3s have been proven to improve and increase circulation, moving your blood to the muscles that need it during a workout, and thereby helping your body to burn more fat. Additionally, omega-3 aides in liver function and gives you a boost in energy, so it’s the perfect workout nutrition to indulge in prior to a session.
Omega-3 for Fat Loss:
Stress causes the body to produce the hormone cortisol, which causes the body to store fat. Omega-3s essentially shut down the production of this hormone, or at least control it to a level that won’t cause your body to hold on to fat. That’s not to say that if you comprise your entire diet from omega-3 rich foods that the pounds will just melt off of you. We all should adhere to a sensible, well balanced diet, particularly when it comes to workout nutrition. It is important to be properly fueled if you are going to make any progress with your exercise routine. This means you can add Omega-3 rich foods to your diet to reduce the amount of new fat that is stored.
Omega-3 fats also help to regulate your blood sugar levels and the production of insulin. This helps to make your metabolism more efficient and burns the calories you ingest rather than holding on to them for fat storage. The best way to lose weight is to combine diet and exercise properly. Ideally, you should find workout nutrition that will boost your energy and stamina for exercise while providing your body with additional weight loss benefits. Omega-3s do just that as it blocks the body’s storage of fat.
Other Omega-3 Benefits:
There are so many health benefits to list about Omega 3’s, so let’s touch on a few briefly. Omega-3’s have excellent cardiovascular benefits, decreasing the risk of heart attacks or sudden cardiac arrest. They improve circulation, reducing the risk of blood clots and even help to lower blood pressure to a small degree. Omega-3s are good for reducing the likelihood of a stroke. These fats are also excellent for expecting mothers and developing infants. Finally, Omega-3’s give the brain a bit of a boost with improved mental function and calming characteristics. You could definitely say that on top of being a great addition to your workout nutrition, Omega-3’s are definitely a powerhouse for your overall health!

Spring Training Fitness Tips

2011-02-16T10:36:00.002-07:00

After a long winter of reduced activity or inactivity you might be tempted to get outside and train as soon as the weather improves. You may also be tempted to exercise at the same level you did at the end of the last season. But such enthusiasm often leads to early season injuries. If you changed your routine for the winter, you need to get back into shape slowly.

Here are some tips to keep in mind as you head out the door this spring:

    1) Slow but Steady -- Don’t succumb to the weekend warrior syndrome. Try to get some exercise 3-4 times per week on alternate days. One of the best ways to get injured or sore is to go hard all weekend and do nothing during the week.

    2) Monitor Your Level of Exertion -- Use the perceived exertion scale (0-20), the talk test, or the heart rate range to help you determine an appropriate intensity level. Stay at the lower end of the scale (11-13) and build up over several weeks.

    3) Increase Your Training Slowly -- Increasing training (mileage, time or amount of weight lifted) more than 10 percent per week increases your risk of injury. To avoid this, increase your training gradually over the weeks.

    4) Avoid All-Out Efforts Until You Build a Solid Base of Fitness -- Depending upon how much inactivity you had over the winter, it could take as long as 6 weeks to re-establish a solid fitness base. Start your exercise program with slow, steady aerobic sessions. When you add intervals or all-out efforts, make sure you allow enough rest and recovery (at least 48 hours) between those hard effort training days.

    5) Follow a Training Program and Keep Records -- If you really want to build back up to optimal fitness, it helps to establish a training plan and stick with it. There are many training programs for all types of sports and having one is not only good motivation, but it helps keep you from doing too much too soon.

    6) Cut Yourself Some Slack -- If you took the winter off, don't expect to be back to peak fitness in a week or two. It's ok to go slow and just enjoy being outside again. There's plenty of summer left, so don't worry about going a bit slower in the beginning.

    7) Train With Others at Your Fitness Level -- If you can find a few people with the same fitness level and goals as you it can help kept you progressing at a good pace. Training with those who are farther along will only encourage you to overdo it, get injured or feel ‘behind’ in your training. Workouts with more fit people can be motivating and help you improve, but only after you have a good solid base to work with. Otherwise they can be harmful.

    8) Remember to Have Fun! Keep in mind that this is Spring Training which is a time for fun, light-hearted exercise. You aren't competing and you aren't burnt out yet. So just relax and enjoy your activity!

WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga is a scientific system of physical and mental practices that originated in India more than five thousand years ago and has been adopted in the west especially over the last 30 years. It includes various postures (exercises) that involve deep breathing, body movement, meditation and relaxation. Its purpose is to improve physical, emotional and mental health, thereby enhancing the holistic quality of our lives.

Yoga promotes a connection between the mind, body and spirit. It is a lifestyle that embraces a system of physical science while honoring the quest for mental and emotional stability and balance.

WHY YOGA?
The scientifically proven benefits of yoga are numerous, including an increase in flexibility, reduction of stress, reduction of inflammation and pain associated with arthritis and other chronic conditions, and a decrease in hypertension. Everyone who practices yoga can gain some level of benefit. The only requirements are proper instruction and regular practice.

WHO IS PRACTICING YOGA?
Based on a survey by Yoga Journal, over 15 Million people from all walks of life are practicing yoga in the US; another 15-25 million have expressed an interest in trying yoga. There is a Yoga style for everyone, including children, teens, business professionals, politicians, celebrities and seniors.

WHY YOGA MONTH?
The mission of the Yoga Health Foundation is to educate about the health benefits of yoga and to inspire a healthy lifestyle. Yoga Month participants come from many different countries, backgrounds, beliefs, religions and cultures. We encourage all novices, advanced yoga students, teachers and studios to join the Yoga Month movement.

IS YOGA A RELIGION?
No! Yoga is a lifestyle or philosophy on life, but it does not ascribe to a specific set of religious practices. Yoga can be done by anyone of any faith. In fact, yoga or yoga-related lifestyle modalities can be found in many religions or faiths around the world. By lowering stress and facilitating physical, emotional, mental balance, yoga has been known to deepen one's faith.

Yoga Month specifically focuses on the health benefits of yoga and how practicing yoga can improve your physical, emotional and mental health and quality of life.

WHAT TYPES OF YOGA ARE AVAILABLE?
Here are brief descriptions of some of the most common types of yoga:

    * Ananda: This is a gentle practice that emphasizes the importance of meditation, breathing, and affirmations while flowing through yoga postures.
    * Anusara: When translated, Anusara means “following your heart.” This style celebrates the heart, positive and balanced energy, and the freedom to change and adapt the practice as needed.
    * Ashtanga: Often referred to as power yoga, Ashtanga provides a heart-pounding, intense, and very challenging workout. The physical goals of the practice are to increase stamina, strength and flexibility. Mentally, students appreciate the sense of calm the practice can provide. Those who adhere to this style of yoga experience deep detoxification due to the profuse sweating that takes place during the session.
    * Bikram: Bikram is called hot yoga for a reason – the temperature in the room is approximately 105 hot and steamy degrees. Every session consists of 26 postures and two breathing exercises.
    * Hatha: The most popular style of yoga in the United States, Hatha focuses on both physical and emotional well-being. With more than 200 postures to choose from, students utilize these asanas to enhance circulation, flexibility, balance, and a supple and vibrant mind.
    * Integral: This style of yoga emphasizes relaxation through controlled breathing and meditation.
    * Iyengar: A form of Hatha, Iyengar focuses on symmetry and alignment to obtain mental and physical balance.
    * Kripalu: Meditation in motion, Kripalu utilizes three stages to achieve reliance on the body’s inherent wisdom. Eventually, students are able to flow through postures spontaneously without conscious thought.
    * Kundalini: A mix of breathing, chanting and poses, this style awakens natural energy and encourages self healing through the stimulation of the immune and nervous systems.
    * Sivananda: A healthy lifestyle is promoted by embracing 12 sun salutation postures, chanting, meditation, positive thinking, and a vegetarian diet.
    * Tantra: Tapping into the body’s natural energy, students are guided through postures, chanting, and visualizations to achieve pleasure, joy and a sense of completion in their everyday existence.
    * Viniyoga: Gentle flow yoga emphasizes the connection between breath and a series of poses that are easy on the joints and easy to adhere to in private practice as well as therapeutic settings.

HOW OLD SHOULD ONE BE TO START YOGA?
You can start yoga at any age.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF PRACTICING YOGA?
Some of the benefits of practicing yoga are increased flexibility, stronger muscles and connective tissue, alignment the vertebrae, toned and rejuvenated internal organs. In addition, the epidermal, digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems are purified of toxins and waste matter; the nervous and endocrine systems are balanced and toned; brain cells are nourished and stimulated. The end results are increased mental clarity, emotional stability, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

Yoga is one of the 10 most used Complementary Medicine methods in US. Because Yoga works on so many different levels, it has great potential as an effective therapy for chronic diseases and conditions that do not respond well to conventional treatment methods. In addition, a regular Yoga routine can help develop greater concentration, balance, and composure.

Fitness Basics Everyone Should Know

2010-04-26T09:37:00.000-06:00

The hardest part of any new routine is getting started! But, once you get going, you may be surprised at how easy it is to maintain a routine. Here are a few basics from the exercise expert at Life Fitness that you should know:

1. Assess your fitness level: You might have a general idea about your current fitness level, but there are a few things you can assess now, to measure against as you progress later. Try measuring these things:

• Start with your weight. As hard as it might be, get on that scale and write down the number.
• Next, take your measurements. The most important two measurements are your waist circumference at your belly button and your hips at the thickest part around.
• Test your fitness by seeing how long it takes for you to walk or run a mile and how many push-ups you can do in a row.

These numbers all provide concrete information that will allow you to see, in very real terms, how you are improving as the weeks go on.

2. Map out your fitness plan: The three parts of any good fitness program include cardio training like walking or biking, strength-training using things like weights or bands, and flexibility training or stretching. Look at your week and choose the times you will work out and write them down, scheduling them makes you accountable.

3. Gather your tools: Now that you have a plan, decide what equipment and which accessories you will need, starting with the right pair of shoes.

4. Get going: Remember to start slow. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Ten minutes the first day might be enough. Or 10 minutes three times a day might be the solution. Just do what you can and progress each week to prevent early burn-out or injury.

5. Assess your progress: After about 4-6 weeks go back to your original assessment and try everything again. Enjoy seeing the results that you have worked so hard to achieve. You will be amazed. And if the results are less than you expected, decide what you need to change to make it better.

Congratulations on your new commitment and get your game on!

How to Have a Healthy Mind With Daily Exercise

2010-03-30T13:44:00.000-06:00

Once you engage in exercising you will not just earn and reap the wonderful benefits of it, but the benefits will become your motivation to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Some of the benefits that you will reap if you do exercises are psychological benefits which include high self confidence, positive energy from your mind and body, a high level of alertness, and of course a stress-free life.

Boost Your Self Confidence
One of the psychological benefits of exercising is high self confidence because as you exercise you don’t simply make yourself attractive and slim since you also feel beautiful from within. If you have a healthy frame and attractive built you tend to be happy and you also increase the good condition of your mental well-being. With this note, you become confident on what you can do and such will always give you a nice feeling.

Let the Positive Energy Flow in Your Mind and Body
You will also let the positive energy level flow in your mind and body when you do exercising. Engaging in aerobics and other cardiovascular exercises will not just reduce the occurrences of stress but of course all your fats will be burned as well. When you let positive energy flow in your mind and body you will feel invigorated and you will also feel less depressions. And when there is a positive energy within you, good decision making and clear decisions will be made.

Being Alert and Ready
If you maintain regular exercising you don’t feel lazy to do anything at all. In fact, you are always prepared and alert and so when it comes to thinking you can easily gather your thoughts and your concentration. And when you are alert, you will also experience improved blood circulation, enhanced oxygen flow system, and of course readiness to face hard situations that may come your way. Getting sleep will also not be a problem at all and so you have to sleep at least 8 hours a day to maintain your sense of alertness.

Live a Stressed-Free Life
Finally, exercises will let you live a stressed-free life since your body and mind are both conditioned in coping with stress-causing activities and life events. If you are fully-equipped just because you exercise regularly, you will also reduce the possibilities of experiencing frustration caused by your family and work and depression caused by trivial yet complicated life and health issues.

Make your WORKOUTS more FUN -- check out what our staff LOVES...

2010-03-23T21:57:00.000-06:00

Life can be really hectic - I know that many of us have children, jobs (maybe multiple jobs), spouses, religious commitments, and more. Making time to workout can sometimes go by the way-side just because you "run out of time". I am living proof that working out is probably the ONE thing that keeps me slightly sain in my crazy world. One of my new favorite cardio activities is Zumba! I don't even think of it as a "workout" (even though it kicks my butt) because it is just SO FUN!

A few years ago when I discovered Zumba, I immediately fell in love. I always enjoyed ballroom in high school, I love hip-hop and Latin styles of dance, and Zumba pretty much combines all of these types of dance. So what makes this class SO GREAT? Being involved with a huge group (and not having to worry about my partner :) is really exciting. Zumba integrates Latin music, fun moves, lots of sweat, and tons of smiles!

You can only imagine my excitement as I get ready for my weekly class. I love that you can look fun and flirty while dancing and working out. One of my favorite things to wear is the ACES RUFFLE SKORT from Impact Fitness. This skirt paired with the Track Star tank is the perfect outfit. The skirt makes it fun because it flares right at the hips, so as you shake it shake it shake it, it rocks right along with you looking great!

SWEAT MUCH? is my favorite question to ask myself when I walk out of class! It gets so hot in there dancing our little hearts out. I HEART the ACES RUFFLE SKORT too, just for the mere fact that it is light and easy to wear and move about in. My legs are free, my rear is covered to just the perfect length that I can feel comfortable, and the style is beyond cute. If you haven't... try it!! It can work for SO many of your favorite activities. Zumba + Aces Ruffle Skirt = LOVE in my book!!

Products of the Week: The Wasatch Capri and The Revolution Tank

2010-03-14T23:30:00.000-06:00

Monday morning. I’m scheduled to run 5 miles today. Training for a half marathon, if my injury recovery cooperates, and then on my way to a full marathon. Slight complication: I also have a math exam and so my usual early morning workout has been replaced by last-minute studying. As soon as school is done I will get my stress release with my workout. Don’t want to go to class looking like I just crawled out of bed so I grab my favorite Impact Fitness Wasatch Capris and Revolution Tank, then add my cute Ruching Jacket: stylish and sporty but ready to go for my run as soon as class is over. Makes my day that much easier!

Product of the Week: The SUMMIT CROP

2010-03-04T15:11:00.001-07:00

It is Thursday, and I am thinking about the fitness classes I teach at the gym tomorrow. Being a busy mom, I get to this time of the week and realize that one of my favorite bottoms, the Impact "Summit Crop", needs to be laundered so I can wear them tomorrow. Although I love all my Impact Workout Wear, my Friday mornings just aren't the same when I am not sporting this ultra-comfortable crop. Teaching yoga and pilates back to back is challenging -- I love that I can move freely in the Summit Crops and they have a nice gaucho-style leg so I am not constricted while moving through poses. Best of all, I can go run my errands after class, and don't have to go home to change. Very cute style that can be easily worn in or out of the gym! Check them out online...

Getting the MOST out of your Spring Workout

2010-02-25T21:48:00.001-07:00

Spring is right around the corner (and maybe for some of our lucky friends who live in places warmer than Utah it is already upon you!) -- this is the time of year where we are ready to get outside, start up our walking or running routines, become more active with our children and families, and just generally add more physical activity to our lives.

One of my favorite "get up and go" routines for spring is the addition of some new apparel for my activities. No matter where you live, spring is the perfect time for a new jacket or light weight long pant. This spring, we have introduced our New Wasatch Series -- what makes this group of apparel so unique is the lightweight, soft, breathable fabrics combined with sporty style that can be worn for just about any of your activities. We've added jackets and pants on our silky soft Impact Micro-Poly fabrics (see the carbon and black colors in the Wasatch Series) and they are the perfect weight for this time of year. Whether I am running errands, running kids around, heading for a fitness class at the gym, or going out for an afternoon jog, I feel better when I am in apparel that looks good and is totally comfortable.

So give yourself a "pick me up" this spring with the addition of a fun new jacket, long pant, or sporty capri. Trust me, your body will thank you for it!

Product of the Week: RAGLAN RUN TOP

2010-02-22T13:28:00.001-07:00

Cold winter morning, light snow but the air is clear. I’m meeting a friend for a run in 15 minutes so I quickly decide the right layering for the weather. I hate to be cold, but I hate to be hot once I warm up after 10 minutes or so. Today, I pick out my Impact Fitnes "Raglan Run Top" and slide it over a base layer tank. Just enough to give my core some extra heat. One of the things I love about this particular running top are the cool thumbholes -- they protects my hands a little more than gloves alone.

I head out the door and the run is great. Friend time, fitness time, and time to get in touch with nature. Can’t start a day better than that!
