Ideal Curve

By Phoenix Delray

 Personal trainers in San Diego have a unique advantage over trainers elsewhere. The landscape, skylines, and attractions in San Diego provide opportunities for their clients to get physical exercise while enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. Personal Trainers in San Diego are an elite group of people who strive to help others improve their overall health and appearance by working one on one with those of us who need some guidance with an exercise program.

Most Personal trainers in San Diego work with their clients either in a gym or in the clients home. Most have many years of training and experience under their belts, and most are certified, assuring you that they really are experts in their field. Personal trainers begin with assessing the clients current physical activity levels, their goals, and their activity potential. They also can teach new exercise routines to their clients and demonstrate the proper effective ways to do exercises and activities. Personal trainers in San Diego also might keep records of their clients progress and monitor the changes in fitness levels.

Not only can a personal trainer help you inside the gym, but they are excellent references to call upon with questions or concerns about lifestyle habits outside of working out. Eating the right things and amounts for your body, getting enough sleep, and tips and tricks about health in general are just some of the bonus material that personal trainers in San Diego are armed with.

The goals of personal trainers in San Diego are many. Personal trainers do what they do because they have a passion for physical fitness and health, and they care enough to pass on their knowledge to others who need their help to become healthier. Whether someone is working with a trainer for a week or a year, the trainer and the client must maintain an open and honest relationship with each other to reach the clients maximum potential with their fitness goals. Any medications, special medical concerns, and health risks must be conveyed to your trainer so that the trainer can adjust your workout program accordingly, for safety reasons.

The relationship between a personal trainer in San Diego and their clients is one of trust. The trainer must trust that the client is open to the challenges that are presented, and that when the client states he ran through San Diego for an hour, the trainer trusts that the client really did do that. The client, on the other hand, must trust that the trainer knows exactly what he is doing, and the client should not ever go far beyond what the trainer recommends. Most personal trainers in San Diego are certified and know exactly how much a client can and cannot do. If your trainer advises you against doing something, the right thing to do would be to not do it, for safety reasons.

When all is said and done, the goals of personal trainers in San Diego narrow down to being the same as their clients goals to improve the overall health of people in San Diego, one day, one client, and one personal trainer at a time.

The Strength Training Secrets That Gym Owners Don’t Want You to Know!
By Stevey McGeown

 Bodyweight exercises are the fitness revolution that has the traditional fitness world running scared.

Forget about matching socks, shorts and t-shirt, that’s not what this is about. Bodyweight exercises are for people who want to work out in order to achieve results, primarily stronger and leaner bodies.

And the myth of the century is that you need to go to the gym in order to achieve that.

Secret No.1 -

In terms of building strength, the bench press is a terrible exercise!

Real strongmen have known this for years. If you want to build a truly strong body, then you better not be relying on the bench press.

The principle here is that we are only as strong as our weakest link, and by relying on the bench press as your core strength exercise, what you will actually do is weaken your body, by throwing it out of balance, weaken your joints by placing too much stress on them, and weaken your cardio vascular system by giving it an already stressed and out of balance body to work with.

When you read this, many of you will clearly see where I’m coming from. Compare this to a diet of various chin up and push up routines. Both of these exercises rely solely on your own bodyweight, and will develop incredible stamina as well as extraordinary strength.

Secret No.2 -

To get a six pack, you don’t need hours or cardio or a punishing weights routine.

What you do need is a consistent and varied exercise program featuring challenging exercises that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously, including your abdominal muscles, and are capable of boosting your heart rate - ie making you sweat.

This prescription is “bodyweight exercises”. As an example, we’ll take the 3 chair push up. This exercise is where you perform the traditional push up, except that your feet are on the seat of one chair and each hand is on the seat of a chair. The exercise increases the range of motion normally experienced with push ups, and your abdominals contract like crazy in order to stabilise your body throughout the motion. They will definitely make you sweat!

The other prerequisite for a six pack is a balanced diet that includes an appropriate mix of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

Secret No. 4 -

To develop powerful legs you never need to do squats with heavy plates or deadlifts.

If you want to have legs so big that you have difficulty walking, then maybe you should do the above exercises, but for the rest of us who are interested in “functional strength,” high repetitions of hindu squats, free squats and sprints will certainly develop more strength and power than just about any squatting or the dreaded career ending deadlift routines.

Secret No. 5 -

Injuries don’t have to come with the territory.

In any training routine, injuries are a massive setback. You won’t be making progress, (which is what it’s all about) if you’re lying up nursing an injury ie not training. Many of today’s athletes, especially those who use heavy weights routines have accepted the risk of injury. This is crazy when there is another system out there that produces even better results with virtually no risk of injury - bodyweight exercises. You won’t be overstressing joints or ligaments, and as you’re working solely with the combined principles of gravity and your own bodyweight you have a much greater feedback system telling you when you can do more, and when to stop.

Secret No. 6 -

To improve flexibility and balance you don’t need to do yoga or pilates.

People who are usually the least flexible are those who either do absolutely no exercise, and those who have heavy weight lifting routines. The problem is that these people are impeding the bodies natural function of self-balancing by allowing their muscles to become excessively tight, often because of a decreased range of motion eg only doing the bench press, or stooping over a desk or driving all day.

Bodyweight exercises help your body to let go of the “tightness” by moving in it many different directions, and promote better body and muscle balance by using multiple muscle groups simultaneously.

One of the best overall boyweight exercises, and one that is superb for improving balance is the hindu squat.

Secret No. 7 -

It doesn’t have to cost the downpayment on a house to take control of your fitness.

The mass media is continually trying to show us that we need both a thousand dollar home fitness system, as well as another $500+ gym membership to be fit and healthy, but I suppose that’s their job. The truth is, all you need is a little bit of space where its quiet, a pad of paper to write down what you’re going to do and the ability to get it done. Make a start buddy!

5 Tips To Keep You Losing Weight with The Biggest Loser
By Bill Miller

 If you’re on The Biggest Loser diet, it can be tough staying focused on your long term goals and weight loss.

1. Here are 5 tips that will help you keep shedding the pounds.

Eat your high calorie foods early in the day. By eating your high calorie foods early in the day, you can burn those calories throughout the day. Eating high calorie foods late in the day means you may go to bed with calories stored up and building fat.

Have your high calorie foods for breakfast. Not only will you probably burn the calories during the day, but the food will give your metabolism a boost and get you off to a good start.

2. Eat smaller portions more often instead of big meals.

By eating smaller portions throughout the day, you’re giving your body feul and you’re less likely to get those cravings and hunger pains. If you’re active at all, and you should if your goal is to lose weight, your body needs fuel to burn when working out. Smaller portions several times a day gives your body the fuel it needs to work out and burn calories. Crazy I know, but it works!

3. Eat the low calorie foods on your plate first.

By eating low calorie foods first, you’re more likely to become full before you get to the high calorie foods. Have your low calorie protein first, followed by the higher calorie starches and carbs. Protein makes your stomach feel full while starches can leave you hungry for more.

4. Water, Water and More Water

Not only does water increase your metabolism, it also helps flush out toxins and fat from your system. Plus, when drank before meals, it can make you feel fuller quicker.

Whether you’re dieting or not, you should drink lots of water throughout the day. Water is also beneficial to you skin, keeping it smooth and hydrated and less likely to show stretch marks.

5. When eating out, split an order

Whenever you go out and eat, plan on splitting your order. Ask for a “doggy bag” right off the bat. When your order comes, split the order first or at least the high calorie food, and put it in the doggy container. This way you’re less likely to splurge plus you can savor the meal long after you’ve left.

Once you’ve finished, ask the Waiter/Waitress to remove all food and plates. Too many times you’ll be tempted to “snack” around on leftovers.

These weight loss tips will help you maintain your weight loss while not making you feel hungry. Just make sure you get into a routine using the above tips and the hunger pains and cravings should be minimal.
