Your Weekly Workout, Pics and Descriptions

Seated Row
Start with butt and feet planted firmly on seat and foot plates, grasp close grip handles and extend legs. Start with arms extended and pull handle to chest then slowly return to starting position, being sure movement only occurs in the arms. 

Alternating Bicep Curl
Begin standing with feet planted firmly on the ground and dumbbells at your sides with palms facing away from the body. Starting with the weaker arm, curl arm until the forearm is vertical, slowly lower and repeat on the other arm. 

Chest Fly
Begin by lying on a flat bench with feet planted on ground, butt, back and head on bench. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing each other fully extended above the shoulders. Without bending arms, slowly lower dumbbells to the sides of the body so that palms are facing the ceiling at the end of the movement. Lower weights as far as possible, then raise back to starting position above the chest. 

Barbell Squat
Position bar high on back and grasp to the sides of shoulders. Bend knees while allowing hips to bend backward, keeping back straight. Be sure to keep knees in the same direction as the feet. Descend until the thighs are just below parallel to the floor. Straighten knees and hips slowly until back in starting position. 

TRX Shoulder Fly
Grasp both TRX handles in one hand while facing the anchor point with palm facing downward. To get into starting position lean back and completely extend arm in front of the body. Raise arm straight up and back until it is in line with the body over the shoulder. Slowly lower into starting position then repeat on opposite arm. 

Trx Tricep Extension
Start by holding a TRX handle in each hand with palms facing the floor and face away from the anchor point. With feet together begin with arms extended 90⁰ at the shoulder joint. Without moving the upper arm, bend at the elbows as far as possible, then slowly extend arms back to starting position so arms are once again straight.

Boost your Immune System Today with These 2 Things!

A Healthy Digestive Track and your Immune System!

 
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is affected by your GI’s (think digestive system) health?  Well it is and a healthy digestive system means a strong immune system.  Immune system health is important to fight off illness and disease.  During times of illness anti-biotics often play a role in restoring health.  Unfortunately anti-biotics can kill both good and bad bacteria.

 

Good Bacteria?  You bet.  Like the kinds found in your digestive system assisting with the complete digestion and absorption of the food you eat.  The good bacteria’s ensure that your digestive system is healthy, which means your immune system is healthy.

 

How can the good bacteria be increased?

 

Two ways…..Pre-biotics and Pro-biotics.

 

Pre-Biotics:  Ferment in the stomach to produce good bacteria.  Great sources are yogurt and believe it or not whey protein.

 

Pro-Biotics:  Pro-Biotics differ from the Pre-Biotics because they will survive stomach acid and move further down the digestive track.  Pro-Biotics can be found refrigerated at quality health food stores and most chiropractic offices.   Real Pro-Biotics will have 109 (1 billion or 10 billion).  The products do have a shelf life and MUST be refrigerated, check both.

 

Try using both Pre (Yogurt) and Pro-Biotics (from health food store):

Pre-Biotics + Pro-Biotics = Synbiotics

I have seen a definite improvement in my stomach. Still have a ways to go.

STOP! Don’t do this if you are TRYING to Lose Weight!

Are you trying to lose weight?

Did you set a 2013 resolution?

Start the new year off with a ton of motivation to lose weight?

Fit in a bikini on spring break.

Maybe you were or are fed up of being fed up with how you look and feel.

Sound familiar?

It does to me.  I have seen tons of comments, statements, and questions on Facebook and other social media outlets.

The passion to change is awesome!  So why are so many of you wasting it?

How so?  I have seen a BUNCH of you posting how many calories you cut, meals skipped, calories burned doing cardio, double workouts, hours of cardio.

STOP!!!  These things will NOT work.  Change that if you have cut calories enough and done enough cardio you may squeeze your smaller self into that bikini but guess what…you will NOT have that sculpted, toned, lean look you want.  Plus as a bonus you are likely to gain all that weight back and as a bonus a few extra pounds.

In less than the last three weeks I have heard the following from clients following “Eat by Color” and training at FitWorkz.  Their statements are below click to see them tell you their story in their own words!

 

Guess what they are NOT doing

Cutting calories, doing hours of cardio or some other short term program that is a LONG term Failure!  Read that again!  And again!  And again!
