5 Free Tips for a Healthier New Year!

(No charge - but we'd love it if you stopped by for a FREE class!)
(Here are some tried and true tips to stay on track in 2011. You've probably heard most of these before, but it's always good to review them every once in a while because we KNOW we don't always follow them!)

  1. Don't grocery shop when you're hungry. Just don't do it!
  2. If you don't buy those snacks, you won't eat them. Do NOT keep snacks in the house!
  3. Eat your fruit first, vegetables second - and everything else third. "Everything else" should consist of healthy choices - and hopefully all those fruits and veggies will keep you from being a little piggy with the "everything else"!
  4. Regular, daily exercise. No, you don't have to come to our gym every day, but you HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO stay active. Use those stairs, park farther away - you know the drill. (And you can come to a fitness class every other day or so!)
  5. Don't load up that giant plate. Use a smaller plate. If you must have more, take your time with it. Give your food a chance to tell your brain that you're really not hungry anymore! And keep the serving dishes in the kitchen so you'll at least get a little exercise having to get up and go get your seconds and thirds...
Health means diet AND exercise. Losing fat AND gaining muscle are the keys to a healthier body.
  • Losing fat is about 2/3 diet and 1/3 exercise.
  • Gaining muscle is about 2/3 exercise and 1/3 diet.
