			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Holiday weight loss</strong> is becoming a new thing for families across America,  find out how Certified Personal Trainers can <strong>help you lose weight during the holiday season</strong>. I know what you are thinking, the holidays are quickly approaching. The shopping, the parties, vacations and weight gain. Ughh! For far too long, people have associated the holiday season with less exercise and bulging bellies.  You can avoid gaining an extra 1 to 7 pounds by setting boundaries and goals.</p>
<p>To get through the holidays, create three goals: a large (macro) goal, a medium (meso) goal and a small (micro) goal.  Examples of large goals could be: “I want to lose 10 pounds in two months” or “I want to maintain my current weight within two pounds during November and December”.  Once you have a long term goal, the next step is to create your meso goal. This goal should help you achieve your macro goal and the time frame should last for one month. Therefore your task is to set challenging and specific goals for the month of November and December.  Examples are: 1) log 25 workouts each month or 2) run a total of 30 miles.  The smallest goal, or micro goal, is the weekly goal. <strong> How many times you plan to exercise</strong> each week or <strong>how many times you will prepare a home cooked meal</strong> to help you achieve your meso goal. These goals set the tone for how you will achieve your large goal.</p>
<p>To help you achieve your goals, create an environment that will help you be successful. Use a<strong> <a href="/healthy-grocery-list-checklist/">healthy grocery checklist</a></strong> when going to the grocery store.  Educate yourself about proper nutrition and exercise by visiting informative and trustworthy websites.  Remember, not all websites are created equal.  Download and start using smartphone apps that log daily eating habits and workouts.  There are also apps that guide you through calorie burning workouts.  <strong>Buy a <a href="/specialofferspromotions/">group personal training session</a> package</strong>.  This is essential for those who find it hard to exercise on their own.  Personal training does require a significant financial commitment; however group personal training sessions are significantly less than individual sessions. The holiday time can be a slow time for some trainers and they might be running a special promotion.  Plus, you can rally your friends to join you or make new “fit” friends.</p>
<p>While setting your goals, think about how great you are going to look and feel and how you will be well on your way to starting the new year with a more healthier and fit you. Have a wonderful and active holiday season!</p>
<p><strong>Want to lose weight during the holiday season, call 678-713-4863 to speak with one of our trainers today.</strong> Certified Personal Trainer provides healthy nutritional &amp; fitness advice one session at a time. They are a premiere full service <strong><a href="/">Atlanta personal training</a></strong> team.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parents, have you ever said &#8220;<strong>My child is overweight, now what</strong>?&#8221; Certified Personal Trainers offers <strong>weight loss tips</strong> for your kids to help them achieve a well balanced life. American children waistlines are growing exponentially; growing so much, that the rates of overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions.  Research has shown that the <strong>main causes of childhood obesity are lack of physical activity and high fat and high sugar diets</strong>.  Helping children achieve a healthier weight is more about teaching them how to incorporate appropriate exercises and eating patterns.</p>
<p>Healthy eating patterns should be encouraged before, during and after school.  The importance of eating a healthy breakfast should be stressed.  A good breakfast to start the day is scrambled eggs, 1 slice of turkey bacon, 1 slice of wheat toast and 8oz. of water or freshly squeezed juice.  Make it a habit to pack lunches.  Many schools are trying to provide healthy lunch options. However, to be on the safe side, pack a healthy sandwich, a piece of fruit, and sugar-free pudding as a guilt free dessert. After school, children are often tempted to eat fast food or other high fat processed foods.  Replace the salty, sugary snacks in the house with better alternatives like light popcorn, fruits, baked sweet potato fries, peanut butter sandwiches or yogurt.  Children should participate in the dinner preparation.  They will be more likely to try new foods and better adopt healthy eating patterns.</p>
<p>After school and on weekends limit TV, video game and computer time. <strong> Find physical activities that your children enjoy</strong>.  If they like the activity, the more likely they will keep it up.  They will also likely be to continue if they record each time they are active for 60 minutes.  Remember physical activity can include playing sports, dancing, jumping rope, and swimming.  Before starting any physical activity, make sure the children warm-up.  This should be about 5 minutes of light activity. Parents should also ensure that their children cool down and stretch to prevent injury.  Strength training using weights should be under close supervision of a trained fitness professional.   Not all fitness professionals can safely work with children. Be sure to ask a lot of questions before you get started and monitor the first couple of sessions.</p>
<p>Parents, offer constant verbal support to their children and set an example for them to follow.  <strong>Children are more likely to adopt healthy behaviors if they see their parents eating healthy and exercising</strong>. Go on family walks, play catch in the yard. It just may help their kids live a long and healthy life.</p>
<p>If you no longer want to say &#8220;My child is overweight&#8221;, <strong>then call 678-713-4863 to speak with one of our trainers today for our <a href="/atlanta-kids-weight-loss/">kids weight loss</a> program.</strong> Certified Personal Trainer provides healthy nutritional &amp; fitness advice one session at a time. They are a premiere full service <strong><a href="/">Atlanta personal training</a></strong> team, specializing in providing a customized fitness program to fit all fitness needs. Their courteous and professional staff has served Atlanta women, men and children  for over 10 years, with results worth boasting about.</p>

<h1>Crunch with Medicine Ball</h1>
<h2><a href="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_3a.png"><img title="Medicine Ball Crunch" src="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_3a-150x150.png" alt="Medicine Ball Crunch" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_3b.png"><img title="Crunch With Medicine Ball Finish" src="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_3b-150x150.png" alt="Crunch With Medicine Ball Finish" width="150" height="150" /></a></h2>
<p>Starting with knees bent and feet firmly planted on floor, lift upper body up slowly in a range of motion that is comfortable to you. Hold at top for 3 seconds then lower the body down slowly. As you return to the floor, remember to lower one vertebrae at a time on the floor. Keeping a curved shape in your spine will help. <strong>Perform 15-20 reps</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sit tall with good posture. Start by curving your spine as you lower down toward the floor. Stopping halfway, twist your torso to the right. Twist back to the center then return to start. Repeat on left side.  <strong>Perform 10 reps on each side</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h1>Crunch on Stability Ball</h1>
<h2><a href="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_4a.png"><img title="Stability Ball Crunch Start" src="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_4a-150x150.png" alt="Stability Ball Crunch Start" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_4b.png"><img title="Stability Ball Crunch Finish" src="http://www.healthandwellnessatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ab-Workout_4b-150x150.png" alt="Stability Ball Crunch Finish" width="150" height="150" /></a></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long day at work or taking the children around to their activities, the last thing on your mind is a workout. The worst thing you could do at this point is to give in and skip the workout for the day. Instead of throwing in the towel, try doing these quick at home workouts without breaking a sweat. An isometric exercise workout is strength training without moving. It involves toning the muscles when the length of the muscle does not change and there is no joint movement. You will be using your own body weight as resistance. Benefits of isometric exercises include increased metabolic rate which can help speed up weight loss, increased bone density and increased lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass helps you burn more calories throughout the day, even while at rest. Best of all the exercises can be done in a short amount of time. Below are 4 exercises you can do right at home.<span id="more-513"></span></p>
<p><strong>#1 Prone Plank </strong><br />
Lying face down, place elbows and forearms by your chest<br />
Lift your body up to form a straight line. You should be resting on forearms and toes<br />
Maintain straight line, keeping hips up<br />
Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat 2x</p>
<p><strong>#2 Side Bridge </strong><br />
Start on your side in a straight line<br />
Lift up on forearms to form a bridge<br />
Maintain straight line<br />
Hold for 30 seconds<br />
Repeat on other side</p>
<p><strong>#3 Shoulder Raises </strong><br />
Stand with feet shoulder width apart<br />
Raise a light weight directly out to the side. The arms and lower body should form a “T”<br />
Hold for 30 seconds and then slowly lower down. Repeat 2x</p>
<p><strong>#4) Isometric Squat </strong><br />
Place back up against a wall. While maintain your back on the wall, walk your feet out until thighs are parallel to the floor. Should form a 90 degree angle<br />
Do not push on thighs or knees with your hands during the exercise<br />
Hold for 30 seconds then walk back up. Repeat 2x</p>
<p>Before starting these exercises, keep a couple of considerations in mind. Isometric exercises can elevate blood pressure; therefore make sure you do not hold your breath. Breathe continually during each exercise. Those diagnosed with hypertension should consult with their physician before starting. There is a tendency to relax the mid-section. This may put added pressure on the lower back muscles. Make sure abs are engaged by pulling your bellybutton towards your back. By using this quick at home workout, you get a great workout session in with no sweat and minimal time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the first time while vacationing it wasn’t just me getting up and exercising before I started my day.  My mom, dad, sister and future brother in law met faithfully each day at 8AM to workout before breakfast.  Before, the family would give me their blessings as they rolled over in bed to catch and extra hour of sleep. I am not sure what made the difference, but whatever it was, I was glad that it happened.  I also noticed after each workout, they followed it up with a healthy breakfast. Instead of falling for traditional trappings of a breakfast buffet (bacon, French toast, sweet pastries) the family opted for omelets, fruit and freshly made smoothies. It didn’t just stop at breakfast, the lunches and dinners were healthy too. They opted for wraps instead of white bread, grilled instead of fried, water instead of sodas It seemed like after years of patience and positive encouragement, it was finally paying off.  This reaffirmed the belief that a family that exercises together, has a greater success rate of adopting healthy lifestyles.  Why? One big reason is accountability, otherwise known as positive peer pressure.  Exercising together prevents boredom and provides encouragement. It is much easier to get up and workout when you know someone is looking forward to you being there.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that <strong>engaging in physical activity is a great way for families to have fun together.</strong> It increases the bond between family members as well as a healthy form of competition. For instance, family members can compete to see who can maintain a fast speed on the elliptical machine for the longest period of time or who can make through an entire spin class without quitting first.  On vacation or at home, go to a park, gym, or swimming pool and have fun together engaging in physical activity or <strong>find team activities or challenges to promote working together or healthy activities.</strong> Enroll the family in run/walks or participate in community family fun days. As a family, cook and plan meals together.  The parents and children should eat the same thing, so make sure it is something everyone will enjoy.</p>
<p>I truly believe that the obesity epidemic should be fought one family at a time.  I am very proud of my family and I am excited to see they are placing a higher priority on exercising in their lives.  Get moving!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Personal-Trainer_Chest-Press.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-459" title="Personal Trainer Chest Press" src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Personal-Trainer_Chest-Press.jpg" alt="Personal Trainer Chest Press" width="425" height="282" /></a><strong>Staying on track with your weight loss goals can be difficult.</strong> The energy some people have about their program, after a couple of months, has faded. That decrease in energy and less resolve can lead to less time in the gym, succumbing to cravings for your favorite foods, and frustration.  All of these things can cause weight gain.  There are some simple steps you can take to prevent these setbacks and stay on track with your weight loss goals. These steps can be used throughout the year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Eliminate Sugar when you can</strong>.  Why is sugar such an enemy to the body? In its processed form, found in many foods in the grocery stores, stays in the body instead of being used for energy and can be stored as fat.  To reduce sugar cravings, eat protein and healthy fat to help you feel full and reduce consumption of high glycemic carbohydrates that causes spikes and drops in blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Have a plan of attack when you eat out.</strong> In this day and age it is inevitable that there will come a time when you eat a meal in a restaurant or someone else’s house. Before you go to a restaurant, take a look at their menu and pick entrées that grilled or baked with vegetables. Choosing an appetizer is a great way to control portion sizes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Don’t focus solely on weight loss.</strong> Do not use the number you see on the scale as your only measure on how successful your weight loss program is going. Find an item of clothing in your closet that you can’t comfortably fit into. Occasionally, try it on to see how it fits. This is a good indicator that you are losing inches.  You can lose inches and not lose weight.  This is especially true if you lift weights.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Don’t let setbacks stop you.</strong>  Don’t get lost holding a guilty party if you get off track. Instead, reassess what made you unsuccessful, and then pick up where you left off. Make sure your diet is not too strict.  If you are on the go most of the day, be sure to pack snacks to keep you full and prevent trips to fast food drive through. Set small, progressive goals.  For example, make it an goal to exercise 3 days a week for 30 minutes for the next 3 weeks.  During the following 3 weeks add either a day or additional time to make it more challenging.  Lastly, remember that a long term goal should be achieving a healthy and active life.  Therefore, understand there will be ups and downs along your journey.  Celebrate each success and don’t spend a lot of time on setbacks or “slip-ups”.</p>
