Is Your Husband Making You Fat?

New brides and grooms spend a lot of time and money to make sure they look their best on the big day. Newlyweds typically gain 7 to 10 pounds in the first year of marriage according to a study. Other than sharing a house, a bank account and a last name, splitting a kitchen is not always easy.

In the first year of marriage, life is good. Couples go out to eat more often. The question is what to eat and where to eat. Wives tend to be the ones who compromise and adopt their husband’s less-than-desired (not always, but usually) eating habits.

So how can you keep your marriage and weight in harmony?

1. Eat according to your size and goal. In other words, don’t eat the same amount of foods as your husband. Men typically need more calories than women to keep their bodies healthy. So if you eat the same amount, you’re very likely to gain weight.
2. Late night meal is a tattoo. If your husband works late and comes home for a late dinner, you don’t have to join him for another meal. Having a late dinner together to catch up for the today is good to build healthy relationship. But it’s not healthy for you weight. Perhaps you can have a light dinner first then have a second part later.
3. Sweet treat is not so sweet. Your husband may want to impress you with gift and sweet treat. It’s a sweet gesture but not so sweet to your weight. Have a little bite. Ask for a foot massage next time.
4. Doing by showing, not nagging. Nobody likes nagging and being nagged at. Instead of nagging his 30-pounds overweight and making him feel guilty, start buying and preparing healthy foods and snacks for him. You don’t have to say a word.

What Should I Eat to Recover After Exercise?

For many people who want to lose weight, eating less and exericse more seem to be the mantra. But far too many people short-cut their workout by dieting or not eating after exercise. This is a sure way to disaster.

After a moderate workout, you need not refuel immediately since your muscles are not really depleted. If you start to lift weight seriously, you should plan a well balanced post-workout nutrition program to help you recover, build muscle and burn fat.

Your post-workout diet should include:

• Carbohydrate. For a 150-pound athlete, carb loading for rapid recovery is about 300 calories every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours.
• Protein. The target is about 15 to 30 grams of protein for a 150-pound athlete taken right after exercise.

Timing may be even  more important than the actual amount of food. Your best bet is to time your meals to your workout.

How Sunshine Can Help You Lose Fat Faster

We're only a few days away from Spring. Yay! It's raining these two days, hoping to wash away leftover snow and ice from two weeks ago.

Many people suffering from winter blues can now finally see more sunshine and brighter days ahead.

In a research study, people were found to engage in more and longer physical activies and exercises when days are longer. They tend to stay more active.

Sunshine indeed can help you lose fat faster because you stay outdoor longer and naturally increase activity levels so you bure more calories.

The First Lady Wants You To Be Fit and Healthy

The First Lady Wants You To Be Fit and Healthy

We are encouraged that there has been much positive news in the headlines lately on the obesity activism front from the highest office in the nation.

First Lady Michelle Obama, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin announced plans earlier this month to help Americans lead healthier lives through better nutrition, regular physical activity, and by encouraging communities to support healthy choices.

The First Lady followed up by establishing a task force on childhood obesity, vowing that she would do all she could to lead the charge to eliminate it in one generation. Read more about the task force here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/presidential-memorandum-establishing-a-task-force-childhood-obesity

The First Lady also announced her Let’s Move initiative, which provides a clear 4 pronged approach toward how we as a nation will accomplish wiping out childhood obesity.

HHS released The Surgeon General’s Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation. In her first release to the nation, Dr. Benjamin highlights the alarming trend of overweight and obese Americans, and asks them to join her in a grassroots effort to commit to changes that promote the health and wellness of our families and communities. Read the complete document here. http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/

As a fitness training professional, I’m pledging my support of these initiatives, emphasizing that I share the same mission and recognize the dire consequences of inaction. I encourage you to also show your support by personalizing this letter template to send a letter to the First Lady and let her know you are well-prepared and eager to help.

You can e-mail the text of the letter by using the organization template on The White House website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/organizations.

You can mail a hard copy of your letter to: First Lady Michelle Obama, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC 20500.

Happy Client Praises Morris County Personal Trainer Carey Yang

Happy Client Praises Morris County Personal Trainer Carey Yang

I started working out with Carey a few weeks ago. I wanted to gain muscle, flexibility and work on my posture. I never thought that I would enjoy doing exercises but I look forward to our sessions. Carey is very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the body and uses this knowledge to make each exercise the most effective it can be, and by making sure that it is done properly, reaping the maximum benefit from
the exercise. We do different exercises each time and it is never boring or repetitive, a problem that in the past, would have made me not want to exercise. He targets the areas that I needed the most, while still working the core with each exercise. I would highly recommend him as a trainer and am looking forward to becoming a stronger person through his guidance. I will continue to train with him and to recommend him to my friends who are tired of the whole “gym” thing.
