“Reveal those abs with crunches, cardio and diet - msnbc.com”

Reveal those abs with crunches, cardio and diet - msnbc.com Posted: 28 Dec 2006 10:00 AM PST If you're trying to lose belly fat, should you just do aerobic activity to shed the pounds, or should you also do crunches even though you won't see those abs for a while? Does menopause promote big bellies? And just what is a one-rep max? Smart Fitness answers your queries. Have an exercise question? To e-mail us, click here . We'll post select answers in future columns. Q: My midsection is where I need to lose the most weight. I'd like to get a nice flat stomach eventually, and I know to do that I have to do crunches at some point. But with all the fat, shouldn't I lose that first, then work on toning my torso? Or should I do cardio along with the crunches. After all, no one will be able to see my abs under my belly fat. A: Well, yes, you can have a serious six-pack yet not be able to see it because it's covered in fat. So you do need to lose the weight in order to get a lean, mean midsection. And if you're like a lot of people, you may be carrying a little extra jelly belly around from all that holiday feasting. But why wait to do the crunches or other abdominal work? It's hardly a wasted effort, since having toned abs also helps keep your core strong and prevent back aches. Plus, you'll get to your ultimate goal of a "nice flat stomach" faster if you do both, notes Gina Lombardi, a personal trainer in Los Angeles. Otherwise, once you lose the weight, you have to start from scratch on toning the muscles. "I always recommend doing both," says Lombardi. "Best to tone up what's under all that belly fat while the fat is disappearing." So how much aerobic exercise is enough? That depends a lot on how much you eat and what kind of activity you're doing and for how long. To lose a pound of fat, you need to create a deficit of 3,500 calories. As for those abs, aim to do crunches at least three times a week. Start with one or two sets of 10 repetitions and work up to three sets of 20, Lombardi says. Q: My midsection is the first to get bigger when I gain weight. Does menopause contribute to not being able to lose weight in that area? When I diet and exercise, I lose weight and inches from all other parts of my body except my waist. What can I do to change that? A: People commonly lose weight last in the first place they gain it. So that's why your midsection is such a trouble spot for you. You can't change how your body deposits fat. And you can't "spot reduce" — lose weight in just one part of the body. But you can watch your diet and exercise regularly to lose fat all over and keep your weight in check. As for the impact of menopause, it could play a role in promoting some weight gain, says Molly Kimball, a sports and lifestyle nutritionist at the Ochsner Health System's Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. "The body changes in hormone production can slow down metabolism," she says. "But the biggest change in metabolism (in women at midlife and later) comes from loss of muscle mass." Women and men lose muscle as they age, which is why she recommends everyone strength train two to three days a week to keep the muscles strong. Muscle burns more calories at rest than other bodily tissues, though just how much is debatable. We also burn fewer calories overall as we age, making diet an even more important factor in weight maintenance than before, says Kimball. That can be especially tough for older people who may be traveling more and have more income to spend on dining out. Q: What do you mean by one-repetition maximum? How do I determine that? A: A one-repetition maximum is the highest amount of weight that you can lift or press one time. So, for instance, it would be the most weight you can bench press or lift on the calf machine. Personal trainers commonly advise clients to use a weight that is a certain percentage of their "one-rep max." They might say to do two to three sets of 10 biceps curls at 70 percent of your one-rep max. Then they might advise you to work up to 80 percent of your one-rep max. The point is to not overdo it. If you max out and your muscles aren't ready for it, you risk injury. There is no one best way to strength train, so you'll often hear various suggestions for weight programs. It's good to mix them up to keep your muscles challenged.

“Choosing a health club - msnbc.com”

---

Choosing a health club - msnbc.com Posted: 19 Dec 2003 03:51 PM PST For Salvador Marquez-Munoz, the perfect health club was more than a collection of weight machines and treadmills. Marquez-Munoz, 35, wanted a club that was on the way to work, clean, and most of all, one that made him feel comfortable. "I really pay attention to whether the staff makes me feel welcome when I first come in the door," Marquez-Munoz says. "I like a place where people greet me with a smile." With the wide variety of equipment and services offered at health clubs these days, choosing the right gym can take a lot of time and research. While some of the best tips can be gleaned from friends and associates, ultimately, you need to personally inspect gyms in your area to find one that will work for you. First, experts say, think about what kind of facility you want. For example, would you like a club that has a pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and steam room, or will a simple set of weight machines and cardiovascular equipment do? Will you need baby-sitting? Do you want a juice bar? Next, you'll need to think about location. Experts suggest choosing a health club that is near to home or work, or on the way to work. If the commute to your club is too long, you're less likely to show up on a regular basis. You also want to make sure that the club is open during the hours you'll want to work out. One way to get the skinny on fitness clubs is to ask co-workers about their experiences, says Brooke MacInnis, a spokesperson for the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association. "Ask them about the drawbacks of their clubs," she says. Look for a variety of equipment Next, check out the equipment. When it comes to cardiovascular equipment, make sure there are several types, not just treadmills, says Fred Klinge, a spokesperson for the American College of Sports Medicine and general manager of the North Little Rock Athletic Club in Little Rock, Ark. If there's a variety of cardio equipment available, you're less likely to get bored and you'll have the benefits of cross training, he says. Also, check to make sure there are enough machines to guarantee you'll have one when you want to work out -- even if that's during peak hours. Many clubs restrict members to 30-minute stints on cardiovascular equipment during hours when they are most crowded. When it comes to equipment for resistance training, experts suggest you make sure that there are enough machines to avoid a long wait before you can take your turn. Another consideration: the age of the equipment. "Make sure the equipment is up to date," Klinge says. "And if the club has some older equipment, you want to check to see if they machines are well-maintained." On a tour, take a close look at the club's standard of cleanliness, Maclnnis says. "Look around to see if there are paper towels and some type of cleaning solution near the machines," she adds. "Make sure there's more than one bottle." Also inspect the locker rooms and the pool area if you plan to use those. "Several of the clubs I looked at weren't very clean," Marquez-Munoz says. "I like swimming and use the showers and locker rooms all the time. Some of the places didn't smell very nice and you could see mildew in the showers." The quality of the staff is another issue. Experts suggest finding a health club with instructors who have proof of an appropriate education. Personal trainers ought to have a bachelor's degree in some type of exercise science, says William J. Kraemer, a professor in the department of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. He also suggests checking to see whether instructors are certified by a non-profit organization, such as the American College of Sports Medicine or the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Trained instructors will be able to help you draw up an exercise program with the right combination of cardiovascular exercise and resistance training, Kraemer says. And a good program will help you improve in strength and fitness. Take a trial run One way to find out whether a club is right for you is to try it out for a few days. Some clubs offer a special guest pass for prospective members. But even if you have to pay for a week to try it out, it's better to spend the money than to make a long-term commitment to a club that doesn't work out. Try the club out during the hours you will be using it, experts advise. "If you're going to be working out at 5:30 p.m. every day, and you don't like crowds, you want to check to see how busy the club is at this time," MacInnis says. Beyond this, you'll have a chance to see how well the club monitors temperature. "If the gym is too hot, I get a headache," said Marquez-Munoz. "And I get hot easily when I'm working out on the treadmill or other cardiovascular equipment. In some places, the ceilings were so low that when there were a lot of people in the room, it got hot quickly." The way equipment is arranged can sometimes cause problems, too. "Spacing between the machines was important to me," Marquez-Munoz says. "I'm not claustrophobic, but if there isn't plenty of space between pieces of equipment, it doesn't feel comfortable." Marquez-Munoz also worried about the safety of the neighborhoods in which clubs were located. "In the summertime when I was looking there was no problem," Marquez-Munoz says. "But I asked about winter, when it gets dark early. Is the parking lot visible from the club? Are there security cameras? Is there plenty of light not only where the cars are parked, but also on the way to the lot?" Another safety issue is whether the club personnel have the training to deal with emergencies. For example, Klinge says, you might want to check to see if the club has a defibrillator on hand and someone on staff who is trained to use it. Is there someone available who is CPR certified? Experts also say it's important to read health club contracts carefully. Don't assume the club offers classes such as aerobics as part of the membership. While some do, others charge extra. If the health club requires a long-term commitment, find out whether you'll be able to get a refund if you need to cancel your membership due to a job transfer, an injury or if you simply find that the club isn't working for you. And, even if there are incentives to signing a long-term contract you might want to find out if a shorter-term arrangement is possible -- a few months, for example -- so you can take some time to determine whether the facility is a good fit for you. For Marquez-Munoz, the search for the right health club took three months. But, in the end, he found one to suit his needs. "It was one that I felt safe and comfortable with, not only the equipment but also the people who worked there," he says. Linda Carroll is a freelance reporter based in New Jersey. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Health and Smart Money.

I found it to be most helpful to women who are embarrassed to go sleeveless," Forbes said.

More than 709,000 votes were cast in support of the 2010 nationwide competition, reflecting immense interest and encouragement for moms building businesses at the same time they tend to their families.

Forbes recognizes how empowering success in business can be for women and their families. Her mentor and co-star in the Jack Lalanne Juicer Infomercial clearly illustrated that there's more to life than just health and fitness - "to get your ideas out and to prosper financially from doing something you love is one of the keys to happiness and success in life."

"SpinGym® has enabled me to touch so many lives… people confined to wheelchairs, high-level executives, stay-at-home moms and people who just don't have enough time to get to the gym regularly. As a busy working mom of 7-year-old twins, this journey has been very rewarding for me. It is nice to be acknowledged by such successful companies as Ladies Who Launch and StartupNation." More than 709,000 votes were cast in support of the 2010 nationwide competition, reflecting immense interest and encouragement for moms building businesses at the same time they tend to their families. "There's been a sea change among moms as they've come to realize that adding entrepreneurship to their lives brings exhilaration and immense gratification, not to mention supplemental—sometimes primary—income to their families in these dicey economic times," said Rich Sloan, chief startupologist and co-founder of StartupNation. Forbes recognizes how empowering success in business can be for women and their families. Her mentor and co-star in the Jack Lalanne Juicer Infomercial clearly illustrated that there's more to life than just health and fitness - "to get your ideas out and to prosper financially from doing something you love is one of the keys to happiness and success in life." To this end, she is dedicated to providing solutions to foster innovative thinking and creativity: next year she will open her Inventor Dream Center, a unique production facility and incubator. Currently under construction in St Petersburg, Florida, the Inventor Dream Center will help to identify products that solve problems, enhance lifestyle, and guides inventors to take their ideas from scribbles on napkins to market in campaigns and retail distribution. The winning profile for SpinGym® can be found at http://www.startupnation.com/leading-moms-in-business/contestant/8183/index.php.

Atlanta Get Serious About Health and Fitness - Associated Content Posted: 04 Nov 2010 02:34 PM PDT Kimberly is an ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) Certified Trainer and group fitness instructor. She has assisted countless individuals in achieving their fitness goals regardless of their age, current fitness level, or whether they are familiar or unfamiliar with exercise. She has a passion for helping individuals to reach their optimal level of fitness whether its low impact exercises or just providing individual counseling. She attended Edinboro University in Pennsylvania where she was a member of the Division II Women's basketball team. Also, she competed in the NPC Georgia Body Building Championship where she is currently training for the 2010-2011 season. She understands the importance of maintaining a health fitness regimen. Ginger White, the 44 year old co- owner, is energized each day as she spearheads each session. One member commented: "Ginger never gets tired." In a recent interview, she explained seven years ago she was diagnosed as having a mitral valve prolapse. Her diseased valve had an eighty percent leakage. Subsequently, she underwent opened heart surgery for a valve replacement. The surgery was successful because shortly afterwards, she resumed her cardio workouts as she had done all of her life. She believes healthy eating and regular exercise is the key to longevity and a healthy life. She says "it's a two way street." She admitted having tried various exercises such as, kickboxing, aerobics, to cycling. For nearly two years, she has been cycling and finds it to be "just the right fit." No Limit Cycling comes on the eve of The New Atlanta Beltline which is an urban renewal project that will combine green space, trails, transit and new development along the historic rail that encircle the city. Perhaps Atlanta will soon become the Mecca as the premier city in the nation in health and fitness.

Add Simple Cardio Blasters to Your Workout - Associated Content Posted: 08 Nov 2010 03:23 PM PST Tired of running on the treadmill and getting no where? Are you weary of the same old routine on the elliptical or stair climber? Add a few old school cardio boosters to your workout to shed pounds and build heart health. Simple Cardio Intensive Workout - Jumping jacks Surely you haven't forgotten about jumping jacks. This cardio intensive, plyometric exercise will boost your heart rate fast and also help build calves, thighs, and hamstrings while working hip flexors. Jumping jacks are not just appropriate for an elementary school gym class. They can easily be added to any workout routine in multiple sets of 10 or 20 to really get your heart going. Simple Cardio Intensive Workout - Jump rope If you think jumping rope is just for kids you are mistaken. Jump rope to 100 several times during your workout for a quick, interval heart rate boost. It will help strengthen your cardio endurance, and your calves will show a quick change in shape, as well. Simple Cardio Intensive Workout - Burpees This exercise is known by many names, but you will recognize the three simple moves that provide a cardio drill. Squat down with your knees slightly bent and your hands on the floor in front of you. Keep your hands in place and bounce your feet out straight behind you. Quickly bounce your feet in back towards your hands. As soon as your feet hit the ground jump up and reach for the sky. Try starting with 3 sets of 8 or ten reps to ramp up your cardio routine Simple Cardio Intensive Workout - Skaters Skaters may be the one cardio step that you didn't do in high school gym class, but if you have ever taken an aerobics class you have done some version of skaters. All you have to do is take a stance as though you are skating or roller blading. Move side to side, using your arms and feet just as you would if you were really on skates. Lunge from side to side, lifting your leg with your knee bent as you jump to the opposite side. Skaters not only elevate your heart rate, but also work almost every muscle in your body. Adding a few simple, intensive cardio moves to your routine will improve your heart health and help blast calories during your workout.
