Make Sure It Works, Not Hurts
 |
| http://www.mensjournal.com/expert-advice/the-6-most-dangerous-fitness-myths-20150305/no-pain-no-gain |
A client that works with one of our trainers talked to her about a class she's taking. It's an old-school class that consists of repetitive workouts and static holds (An example would be doing a leg lift exercise for a minute or more). The client feels it's making a difference, but it's hurting her in the process.
The client has rheumatoid arthritis, and those types of workouts are heavy on the joints which causes pain in the affected areas. Can it be an effective exercise for some, yes. But, you shouldn't be doing those exercises if you're hurting yourself in the process.
The amazing thing about working out is that there are multitudes of ways to exercise a specific or set of muscles. If there is an exercise that you are unhappy with or are hurting from, change it.
There is a way that you can make a difference in your body without causing pain. If you can't think of one, personal trainers are around to assist you.

Our trainer sat the client down and was frank with her. "You only have those joints", she warned, "Be happy with replacing them, or choose a different exercise that works for you".
Clients need to understand that these are serious issues that can cause massive pain, which decreases their chances of being able to keep healthy in the future. Please, think about your body and make sure it's the right workout for you.

You Don't Need A Trainer Do You?

| Found on Ethno Gym http://ethnogym-erbil.com/fitness-training-ethnogym-erbil/personal-training/ |
With all of the free workout videos on YouTube and advise from virtual communities, you don't need a personal trainer! Unfortunately, that's wrong.
There are a plethora of things in this world that you'd want to have an expert there to do. Today I had a plumber come in to fix my shower. Could I have bought the same machines that he used and tried to unclog the pipe? Sure, but that would take more money and time than it would for this plumber to come in and do it for me.

How to store and use Flax Seed
How to Store and Use Flax Seed
Flax Seeds have many benefits if we ingest them properly. A few of these benefits include sources of Vit B-1, micro nutrients, the essential fatty acid Omega-3 (For all the vegetarians and vegans out there, this is a great way to get these fats to replace salmon), and dietary fiber.Flax is supposed to be ground and passes right through our system if it is still in its shell. A great way to eat the flax is to ground the shells (with a coffee grinder, blender, ect) and incorporate them in some Greek Yogurt or into a Protein Shake. It's preferable to use what you ground that day, but if kept in a tightly sealed container it can be stored in the freezer for a short amount of time before going rancid.
Here's a link below to other ideas and talk on the subject. Have a happy and healthy day!

How To Lift Correctly
 |
| Found on Women's Health http://bit.ly/2bRznrW |
Whenever you are training, slow and controlled movements are more effective than fast movements. For example; when you are performing a bicep curl, by slowly lifting the weight your muscles are exerting it's maximum force for an extended amount of time, thereby increasing the strain on the muscle and affecting every part of that muscle.
When you lift quickly, you might be able to lift more weight, but you are not giving the muscle adequate time to strain. By lifting faster, you are increasing the time it takes for your muscles to grow and that might exasperate your motivation to keep working out. Work out SMARTER not HARDER.

Did you stretch today?
Did You Stretch Today?
Studies show that stretching when you wake up in the morning increases circulation in the body, keeps you limber, reduces/eliminates aches and pains caused throughout the day, and gives you energy! Stretching every morning is a great habit to start for healthy living!
