All too often, we try to target our workouts to take care of problem spots. Flabby thighs, hanging arms (a.k.a. bat wings), muffin tops and other very specific areas get the bulk of our exercise attention while the core is overlooked. The truth is we need to work our whole body if we want to get real results. Targeting is fine, but it won’t get the job done on its own.

The core – the back and stomach muscles – are essential to include in regular workout routines for a number of reasons. The fact is that all body movement comes from the core. If your stomach and back muscles aren’t properly strengthened and toned, your entire system will suffer.

Try lifting heavy weights to tone those flabby arms, for example, and your back muscles just might protest in a very big way. If this happens, you could suffer an injury that just might sideline your weight loss and exercise efforts for a time.

So, how can you get the workout you really need?

The key to enjoying weight loss and body strengthening success is to go for a whole body workout. While focusing on the core is critical, ideally you do want to include the entire body. To make sure this happens, develop a workout plan that involves all major muscle groups. Be sure to blend both cardiovascular and strength training together, too.

If you’re unsure of how to develop a true full body workout routine, give us a call at 783-1241 and we can help you. Every Boot Camp workout we do is a total-body workout.  And our trainers can help you by:

Tailoring a program to suit your needs – Not everyone can follow exactly the same workout routine. What works for your best friend, for example, might actually be too rigorous for you. Consulting with one of our trainers will result in a routine that takes your strengths and weaknesses into account. Your tailored routine will also be designed to offer the right level of challenge without taxing your body too much.

Making sure you avoid injury – Beginners often strive too hard to see results. Jumping into a 7-day-per-week workout routine can and often does, lead to injuries. At the very least, a workout that is too hard can zap motivation very quickly. When you involve the pros, you’ll end up with a plan that’s been developed to help you reach personal goals while motivating you to succeed.

Offering moral support – Our coaches are here to help you reach your goals. They do this not only by offering their expertise, but also by cheering you on along the way.

A body-part-targeted workout won’t provide the overall results you’re after. If you want to see real changes in your body, you need to focus on the whole body.

You’ve joined a gym and you’re all set to drop that 20 pounds you’ve promised yourself you’d lose for years. Your motivation is high and you know you can do it!

That is fantastic news, but it’s time to temper your enthusiasm with a bit of reality. The fact is your motivation is very high right now and that’s a good thing. Your motivation, however, may not last forever. When you’re 10 pounds in and that last ten pounds won’t seem to go away, you need a plan in place to keep yourself going.

So, how can you bolster your motivation and make sure it stays on course? There are a few fairly simple tricks that can help you retain your desire to achieve even when the going gets tough. Try these things to help yourself stay on track:

Don’t work out alone – When you work out alone, it’s all too easy to quit in the last 10 minutes. It’s also a whole lot easier to skip a day here and there. You need a way to hold yourself accountable to overcome those dips in motivation that are very likely to occur. Instead of going it alone, workout with a friend. Hire a trainer to keep you accountable. Join a Boot Camp class. Just do something that involves another human being that can help hold your feet to the fire if and when the urge to quit strikes.

Keep a journal – The journey to changing your lifestyle can be long and arduous. It is often fraught with ups and downs, too. Write down everything that happens in a journal. Record your successes and complain about your struggles in writing. Releasing your doubts can help you gain focus and help you to remember why you started this process to begin with. Recording your successes can give you the strength to draw on when you need it the most.

 Set goals – Saying you want to lose 100 pounds is great, but it’s a pretty big number to shoot for. While it’s a great idea to have an end goal, try setting smaller ones along the way. Use milestone goals to help keep yourself going. Give yourself rewards when you attain these milestones, too. Little things like a massage or a day at the salon for losing five or 10 pounds can motivate you to keep reaching for loftier goals.

Changing your lifestyle is a journey that calls for motivation. Keep yours high by enlisting some help. Our coaches and personal trainers can help you get on track and stay that way.

You stand on the scale and just can’t deny the fact any longer: It’s time to lose weight and get into shape. The problem is finding the best diet plan to help you reach your goals. With so many options on the table, selecting just the right diet plan can be very difficult.

The simple truth is there is NO diet plan that is the best. Go on a strict diet plan to drop weight fast and you will soon find your weight bouncing up and down. The problem is most diet plans aren’t realistic for long-term use. While you might lose weight while you’re on them, that weight is likely to come back as soon as you start eating normally again. Plus, many so-called diet plans neglect proper nutrition. They cut out entire food groups for the sake of quick-fix weight loss.

So, what can you do to eat yourself to a healthier weight without going on a diet plan?

Just use good common sense and consider these things:

Eat whole foods – It is best to buy your groceries and make your meals starting with fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meat and other healthy products. While processed foods might be easier, they often contain chemicals, sweeteners, artificial colors and who knows what else! Freshly prepared meals that start with healthy ingredients are better for weight loss and they’re better for fueling the body.

Read labels – It’s not always possible to eat whole foods at every single meal. When this is the case, select processed or pre-packaged products with care. Read the labels and look for items that are as close to natural as you can find.  Also look at the serving size compared to the amount of calories in a single serving.

Go for balance – Make sure meals contain foods that truly nourish and fuel your body. Strike a balance with fruits and veggies, legumes, lean meat, low-fat dairy and other necessary foods.

Eat less, but more often – Smaller, more frequent meals can help greatly with weight loss.  Shoot for smaller portions, but try to eat three meals a day and at least two, possibly three healthy snacks. It’s important not to skip meals – especially breakfast – because doing so can foster weight gain rather than loss.

Avoid temptations – Uncover your unhealthy habits and take steps to overcome them. If you can’t steer clear of ice cream after dinner, try not keeping it in the house. It’s okay to keep “treats” in your diet when you’re losing weight, but make sure they really are treats. No one really needs ice cream seven nights a week.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a journey. Fad diet plans just aren’t sustainable. To get the results you want, learn to make wiser choices every day. For more ideas on creating your own nutrition plan talk give us a call.  We have everything you need to create the perfect plan for you, your body and your lifestyle.  Check out our Nutrition KickStart and Fuel Your Life Plans.  They produce amazing results and it’s easier than you think!

If you’re ready to get into shape and really change your life, the first place to start is within your own mind. Leading a healthy, active lifestyle often calls for taking a mind-over-matter approach. Working out, eating right and making good choices calls for positive thinking to reinforce the actions you know you need to take. When you explore your own thought processes and your “mind chatter,” you will likely find the key to unlock the positive lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of leading has always been there.

The truth is that success is often born from a positive and healthy outlook to everything in life. When you examine your thoughts and the chatter that you “speak” to yourself on a daily basis, you are likely to find you are your own worst enemy. Open your eyes and your mind to the thoughts and really hear what you tell yourself. Learn to eliminate the negative inner-speak. Stop telling yourself you can’t and start saying you can. When you do, some amazing things are going to happen.

While this sounds all well and good, you’re probably wondering how to get from Point A to Point B.

There are a few tricks and tips that can help you change your mind and your life. Try:

Spending a few days truly listening to yourself – Grab a notebook and a pen. Jot down the negative thoughts you have. Listen to what you say to yourself in your mind. Explore what you are saying and consider what triggers your own negative responses.

Learn to speak kinder to yourself – Positive affirmations aren’t just New Age mumbo jumbo. They can actually work. Learn to program your mind to believe in yourself. Set realistic goals and keep telling yourself you can attain them. Take that same notebook you used to record your thoughts and write down the positives about yourself. Focus on these positives that you know to be true and use them to build up your life in other aspects.

Enlist help – When you’re trying to change your mind so you can change your life, positive influences can go a very long way. Join a group exercise class, hire a personal trainer, ask family and friends to assist. Let them know your goals, what you are doing to reach them and how they can lend a hand by offering moral support. Having a cheering section rooting for you can build your self-esteem and it can give you the motivation you need to keep going even when the road ahead is tough.

When it’s time to effect positive changes in your life, the place to start is within. Look into your mind and learn to reinforce the positives and throw out the negatives. You can do it!

There are plenty of foods that are good for you. Some foods, however, are just better than others for your body and health. When a particular food contains a variety of disease-fighting and health-sustaining nutrients, it’s called a “super food.” These are the foods you want to include in your diet.

As you work with our AlaskaFit trainers to strengthen and tone your body and lose weight, “super foods” can help you round out those efforts. Incorporating them into your diet can have a number of positive impacts from assisting you with weight loss to helping you prevent serious medical conditions.

So, what qualifies as a super food?  And more importantly, what can they really do for you? Let’s take a look at our faves:

Salmon – Living Alaska, you just have to love this!  Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. This particular food can help lower the risk of heart disease, prevent memory loss and even reduce depression.  Since salmon is also a low-calorie, low-fat choice, it’s one of the best sources of Omega-3s. Other options include walnuts, herring, and flax seed.

Blueberries – Another Alaska favorite…and it’s super-good for you! Blueberries are simply loaded with antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, vitamin C and potassium. This powerful combination makes blueberries an excellent choice to work into regular dietary routine. Blueberries not only help provide proper nutrition, but they can also reduce cancer and heart disease risks and may even help reduce inflammation.

Fiber – Any food that is high in fiber and low in fat is considered a super food because it can serve multiple purposes. Fiber-rich foods are excellent for use in weight loss efforts and they also help reduce cholesterol levels.

Broccoli – This green vegetable packs a lot of punch into each spear. Broccoli is a strong source of vitamins C, A and K.  It also offers a fair amount of fiber, which is great for losing weight and helping to control cholesterol levels.

Sweet potatoes – Replace a standard baked potato with one of these and you’ll have a powerful source of vitamin A, calcium, potassium and vitamin C. This is a major multitasking vegetable that offers a sweeter flavor than its yellow or white cousins.

Beans – Black beans, pinto beans, great northern beans and other legumes are considered super foods because they pack a lot of nutrients into each bite. Beans are an excellent source of fiber, they are low in fat and many are fantastic sources of non-animal protein, carbohydrates, magnesium and potassium.

As you work with your trainer to condition your body, make sure the food you consume helps with your efforts. Super foods multi-task by helping you lose weight, prevent disease and maintain health.

Humans are creatures of habit. We do something one way for so long that the action becomes ingrained and natural. Sadly, many of the habits we pick up aren’t necessarily the best. The good news is we can create new, healthier habits especially in regard to fitness.

If you’re ready to start building healthy habits so fitness becomes routine, we, here at AlaskaFit have got some great tips and tricks that can help you along the way. Just remember, habits – good or bad –take some time to really stick. Once they do, however, you’ll discover that breaking healthy habits isn’t any easier than breaking the bad ones.

To develop healthy habits in regard to fitness, try doing these things:

Get advice – Before even trying to set new fitness habits in place, be sure to seek professional advice. An AlaskaFit trainer can guide you on the right path for what fitness activities might be best for you. Our experts have worked with literally hundreds of local Alaskans and helped them to achieve their goals.  We can help you, too.  We can also offer suggestions on simple, little things you can do that can make a big difference and easily become habits over time.

Pick one thing at a time – It does take time and repetition for actions to become habits. Some say 21 days of doing the same thing over and over again will do the trick; others suggest a longer period of time. Regardless, it does require some effort and commitment to make a healthy action become habit. With this in mind, pick one thing at a time and stick with it until you no longer think about the action. When it comes naturally to you, it’s a habit.

Incorporate “little things” – When you’re trying to get into shape and build fitness levels, a full routine that includes dietary changes and exercise is generally recommended. This is, of course, important, but it can prove a little tough.  Going from no time at the gym to a full hour 3 or 4 times a week is a tremendous change and probably unsustainable.  (Admit it, how many times have you done this in the past? Gone from no exercise to 4-5 days a week for 2 weeks, then back to the couch?)

To build long-term healthy habits, consider working on little steps. If you decide to go to the gym, start with 2 days per week for 30 minutes.  See how you do and build from there.

Get support – Building healthy habits can be tough. This is especially so if you are trying to replace bad habits with good ones. To help yourself along the way, don’t be afraid to enlist support from family, friends and most especially a trainer who has the skills needed to motivate you in the right direction.

It’s easy to develop bad habits. Creating good ones can take a little more effort. When the right goals are set and help is enlisted along the way, fitness can become a habit that sticks with you for life.

You’ve heard it all before. Caffeine is addictive, it’s bad for your body and it can cause headaches, tremors, restlessness and even anxiety. The catch is that many of the foods that contain caffeine naturally are not necessarily bad for you. In fact, some are considered excellent inclusions for dietary routine.

So, what’s your best approach to caffeine? Should you swear off coffee, green tea and even dark chocolate because it contains caffeine naturally? Can you keep these things in your menu and reap the benefits they have to offer?

Total avoidance of caffeine containing foods and beverages is not typically necessary. Some medical conditions may call for total avoidance, but this is not generally the case. Considering the benefits many natural sources of caffeine have to offer, moderation might very well be your best approach.

When you understand the potential benefits of the foods that naturally contain caffeine, moderation will make sense. Green tea, dark chocolate and even coffee do pack in some health perks that are hard to ignore.

Coffee Isn’t All Bad.  Coffee gets a very bad rap because of the caffeine it contains. Studies touted by the Mayo Clinic, however, point to the fact that coffee does contain natural antioxidants, as well. These antioxidants can help reduce inflammation. They are also considered valuable in reducing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Some studies have even found that coffee offers some protection for the brain from memory loss. While it’s best to limit coffee intake to only a couple of cups a day, this drink might be worth keeping in your routine. Just refrain from loading it up with sugar and heavy cream!

Green Tea Helps With Weight Loss. This is considered one of the best sources of natural antioxidants. It does, however, contain some levels of caffeine. This particular drink has been shown to help reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular conditions, diabetes and other serious conditions. It has also been shown to help people lose weight, thus, assisting in overall health improving efforts. While it contains a modest amount of caffeine, it can be well worth keeping in your menu.

Dark Chocolate Is A Vice With A Twist.  If you have a sweet tooth and can’t seem to give up chocolate, consider going with the dark variety. Dark chocolate does contain caffeine, but it also boasts high levels of antioxidants that can help prevent some forms of cancer and heart disease. It has also been shown to reduce blood pressure levels. The antioxidants in dark chocolate are negated by milk consumption though so make sure these two things don’t mix.

While caffeine can have negative effects on the body, many of the foods that contain it naturally are actually good for you. Cutting them out of the diet completely to avoid caffeine at all costs just might not be the wisest course of action unless there is a prevailing medical condition that demands it. If you are working with a trainer or other fitness pro to improve your health and lose weight, discuss the possibilities keeping healthy sources of caffeine in your diet.

When you’re trying to lose weight and get into shape, picking the right foods is essential for reaching your goals. Unfortunately, the prospect is not as easy as it sounds and it can be downright confusing. Low-fat, reduced fat, low-carb, trans-fat free, improved flavor. What’s really healthy, what is junk food pretending to be healthy?

If you’re fed up with hidden surprises in the foods you eat and want to see real results with your exercise and weight-loss program, you are going to need to learn to be savvier about the foods you consume. While your trainer can guide you in the right direction as far as meal plans go, you can benefit from brushing up on the nonsense to watch out for. The reality is many foods sound healthy, but when you figure out what’s really going on, they simply are not good for you at all.

Here are some of the things to watch out for as you work on weight loss efforts:

Canned soups – While it might go against the wisdom of your mother, canned soups are not always good for you. Many are high in preservatives and most have tons of salt. Sodium can hamper weight loss efforts and it’s just not good for your heart. Even if canned soups are low in calories and fat, the salt content can make them a very bad choice. Read the label! How much sodium is in your soup?

Juice – Real fruit juice is a great option in place of sugary sodas. Even better is to cut the juice with water. You’ll get all of the flavor but less of the sugar. Remember to watch out for is high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweetners in “low-sugar” juices. High fructose corn syrup is used in place of sugar, but has the same basic empty-calorie effect (or worse) and artificial sweeteners contain dangerous chemicals that can be detrimental to your health. Read the label and know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

Dried fruit – Although plain dried fruit is a great snack choice, many prepackaged products have some hidden ingredients. Sugar, trans fat and other unwanted ingredients might be lurking in those apricots or prunes. Read the label before buying just to be sure.

Low, or no-sugar items – Take extreme care when buying products that tout themselves as low or no sugar alternatives. While a product might not contain “sugar,” it could have corn syrup, dextrose and a variety of other high-calorie sweeteners. Or worse, the chemicals that we talked about above. Read the label and know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

Diet sodas – Eliminate these as soon as possible. You won’t get a high sugar content with these, but you might end up with a few ingredients you didn’t bargain for. The synthetic sweeteners in diet sodas are not necessarily the best for the body. Many have actually been linked to weight gain rather than loss.

Eating right is essential for losing weight and getting into shape. Work with your trainer and you will find out just how important diet is.

Unfortunately, making the right choice in foods is sometimes a loaded proposition. To get the most out of your meals and snacks, make sure to read labels and brush up on the pitfalls to avoid.

If you would like more detailed, specific guidance on what to eat, when to eat it and just how many calories you should be eating, do our Nutrition KickStart (link this to our Nutrition KickStart Page on the website) program. We give you your metabolic blueprint, meal plan and even a grocery-shopping list so you can know exactly what to eat, when to eat it and how much to eat. Start now.

You’ve been working hard, eating right and have even been exercising at home on your off days from the gym. The pounds have finally started to melt off and you’re seeing results. Unfortunately, you slipped up over the weekend and ate like the world was going to end tomorrow. You feel guilty, frustrated and just plain awful.

Relax! You’ve just proven that you’re human. You can get right back on track and will likely not even notice your indiscretion on the scale.

Losing weight and sticking with a program calls for lots of hard work. It is not uncommon for people to slip up from time to time. In fact, some programs even call for allowed slip ups in moderation. Even if yours doesn’t, you don’t need to beat yourself up and think all efforts have been in vain.

Keep in mind that you are making a lifestyle change.  Your goal is eating well overall, not restricting calories for the rest of your life.   Eating and enjoying your food is part of life, so don’t feel badly because you indulged.  Just make sure the healthy eating and not the indulging is your “normal” and you’ll be fine.

Rather than throwing in the towel and reversing all of your progress, consider taking these steps to overcome the setback you have faced:

• Own your error – Admit to yourself that skipping routine exercise or binge eating was not in your best interest. While an occasional blooper is not uncommon, you want to get yourself in the right mindset to avoid making cheating a habit.
• Tell your trainer – If you’re working with a trainer, tell them about the setback. No, your trainer is not going to yell at you or make you drop and give him 20 – at least it’s not likely! Instead, your trainer will probably give you constructive advice for getting back with the program and avoiding temptation in the future.
• Consider the trigger that set you off – Try to figure out what made you do what you did. Maybe you were just too busy to get down to the gym? Maybe friends dropped by with your favorite take-out food in hand? Whatever the case, try to recognize the trigger so you can avoid it in the future. Using a journal is the most powerful tool you have to help you to analyze this. Do let your trainer know about possible triggers. He or she can help you come up with alternative behaviors that can help you down the road.
• Forgive yourself – None of us is perfect. The indulgence is not really a problem. It’s the steps you take now that matter. Let it go and resolve to stick with the program and refocus yourself on the goals you have set. One or two slip-ups doesn’t mean those goals are not attainable or that you are a failure.  It’s just a learning experience.  So focus on the lesson you learn from your actions and move ahead.

Remember, it’s not about getting into shape, it’s about getting into life!  The more healthful habits you practice on a regular basis, the more you’ll enjoy your life!

As much as most people would like it to be, weight loss is not an overnight quick-fix. To achieve healthy, safe and lasting changes in weight and lifestyle, time is required. How long the process will last depends a lot on starting weight, goals and personal persistence to stick with a program. Occasional detours are often a part of the road to weight loss. Just make sure to clear your mind and get back on the right path when they happen.
