IAN KING FROM TOTAL BODY FITNESS SHARES ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION

Joanne Smith, RN, BScN, MN Manager, NICU, Paediatrics and Outpatient Services. November 27, 2012. I am not one for writing recommendations unless an organization has impressed me with their service. This is my feeling after I have completed my first round of private sessions at Total Body Fitness and Wellness. I started with Ian several months ago to try and get my body that I have neglected for years back into shape. As I am middle aged, I am well aware of all the self-made barriers that exist that keep me from reaching my goal. I put those barriers aside and made a strong commitment to my health. I decided to utilize the oldest and most successful way to getting healthy; eating right and exercise. I informed Ian of my goal and together we worked out a plan that would work for me. Now that my first sessions are complete and I am starting on round two, I have lost a total of 14lbs and I am almost 2 sizes smaller. I can see my Jessica Rabbit figure re-emerging and it feels great. My staff and friends have given me positive feedback on my new look which has helped to motivate me even more. I want to thank Ian for being my rock and voice of reason on this long and sometimes difficult journey I am on. Ian makes me feel motivated, energized and positive about my journey ahead. He encourages me to celebrate every pound lost and not think of the total number of pounds left to be lost. With Ian as my partner and trainer on this journey, I know I will be successful. Ladies and gentlemen, I encourage you to give Total Body Fitness and Wellness a try as you will be getting the most level headed, passionate and forward thinking trainer and confidant that you could have. If you are willing to give Ian the commitment, he will commit to you. If you are willing to make a commitment to a healthy body, your body will not let you down. Think about next summer and shorts and bathing suit weather, I am. Joanne S.

Total Body Fitness Explains Why You May Not Be Sore After A Workout.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) describes a phenomenon of muscle pain, muscle soreness or muscle stiffness that occurs in the day or two after exercise. This muscle soreness is most frequently felt when you begin a new exercise program, change your exercise routine, or dramatically increase the duration or intensity of your exercise routine. So, unless you experience one of these 3 things, you probably would NOT experience any muscle soreness. Although it can be alarming for new exercisers, delayed onset muscle soreness is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build hypertrophy). This sort of muscle pain is not the same as the muscle pain or fatigue you experience during exercise. Delayed soreness is also unlike the acute, sudden and sharp pain of an injury such as a muscle strains or sprain that occurs during activity and often causes swelling or bruising. The delayed muscle soreness of DOMS is generally at its worst within the first 2 days following a new, intense activity and slowly subsides over the next few days. What Causes Muscle Soreness After Exercise? Delayed onset muscle soreness is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. The amount of tearing (and soreness) depends on how hard and how long you exercise and what type of exercise you do. Any movement you aren't used to can lead to DOMS, but eccentric muscle contractions (movements that cause muscle to forcefully contract while it lengthens) seem to cause the most soreness. Examples of eccentric muscle contractions include going down stairs, running downhill, lowering weights and the downward motion of squats and push-ups. In addition to small muscle tears there can be associated swelling in a muscle which may contribute to soreness. What Is the Best Treatment for Muscle Soreness After Exercise? There is no one simple way to treat delayed onset muscle soreness. In fact, there has been an ongoing debate about both the cause and treatment of DOMS. In the past, gentle stretching was one of the recommended ways to reduce exercise related muscle soreness, but a study by Australian researchers published in 2007 found that stretching is not effective in avoiding muscle soreness. So does anything work to reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness? Nothing is proven 100 percent effective, and although some people have found the following advice helpful, it's best to try a few things to see what works for you. Ultimately, best advice for treating DOMS is to prevent it in the first place. This is why it's so important to train hard regularly, your body adapts to the intense workouts and doesn't get sore the next day either!

Total Body Fitness explains the link between weight and breast cancer

Obesity and being overweight has been attributed as the cause of many diseases and body disorders in numerous medical studies. Diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer are some of the many dangers of being overweight. Concentrating on the latter This article's aim is to look at how being obese can affect breast cancer in woman - if it has any affect at all. It’s important to remember that weight can affect woman differently depending on their age. Pre and post menopause plays a role due to the hormones present in the body. Before a woman reaches menopause, the female hormone estrogen is produced in the ovaries. Post menopause however, the woman is no longer releasing eggs via the ovaries, and so estrogen levels are lower. The body has to compensate to this change and does so in the form of an enzyme called aromatase. Aromatase can be found in fat cells and can efficiently convert androgens (another hormone) into estrogen. The More fat someone carries, the more aromatase they have, which leads to more androgens being converted into estrogen. This spike in estrogen is a main cause in breast cancer and would explain why post menopausal woman who are obese are more susceptible to breast cancer. A medical study conducted on weight gain and breast cancer, the largest of its kind, concluded that women who added twenty or more pounds after entering adulthood had in excess of fifteen percent, and in some cases as high as forty-five percent higher risk of breast cancer after their menopause. This was of course compared to women who gained none or little weight. The figure however at getting breast cancer from gaining weight after menopause was significantly lower at only eighteen percent chance. It’s not all hormones and weight gain however, as body shape can play a huge part when it comes to breast cancer. “Apple” shaped women, typically defined as woman who put weight around their mid section, are at small increased risk of breast cancer, compared to woman who are labelled as “pear shaped”. Pear shaped women are typically defined as women who add weight around their thighs and hips. As mentioned in our introduction, obesity and being overweight carries numerous risks and dangers to your body, not just breast cancer; and so it is important to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. A good diet and regular exercise is key to leading a happy and healthy life.

Total Body Fitness Blogs. Honey and Weight Loss: How are the Two connected?

  Honey and Weight Loss: How are the Two Connected?   Honey and weight loss are often associated. Why is honey a smarter choice than table sugar if you are watching your weight and what you eat? Refined dietary sugars lack minerals and vitamins and are often called empty calories. They draw upon the body's nutrients to be metabolized into the system, and when these nutrients are depleted, metabolizing of cholesterol and fatty acid is impeded, contributing to higher cholesterol and promoting obesity due to higher fatty acid on the organs and tissues. The good news is that honey, a natural sweetener, on the other hand, contains 22 amino acids and a variety of minerals essential for its metabolism and hence is helpful in preventing obesity. It is believed that drinking lemon juice with a little honey the first thing in the morning is an effective anti cellulite treatment as it helps to increase body metabolism. If you are determined to shed weight and speed up your sluggish metabolism, try this honey and lemon diet tip. If you like, another very popular recipe associated with honey and weight loss is a drink that uses honey and cinnamon as ingredients. Many people have found this home remedy very effective in losing pounds. The steps are easy: Dissolve half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder (or ground cinnamon) in a cup of boiling water. Stir the mixture and cover for half an hour. Filter away any big particles and add a teaspoon of honey. Take it in the morning with an empty stomach about half an hour before breakfast. For people who tend to overeat or feel discomfort in the stomach after meals, honey can be taken for better digestion. Honey is a simple carbohydrate that one safely take during fasting because it contains easily digested sugars. Foods that are rich in sugars or complexes of sugars are carbohydrates. How the sugars are arranged will determine whether we call a food a source of simple or complex carbohydrates. When sugars are bound into rows, as they are in starches such as whole grains and legumes, they are called complex carbohydrates. It takes the body much longer to digest the sugar from a complex carbohydrate.   The latest theory based on the hibernation diet also builds a link between fructose-rich honey and weight loss. It suggests taking a generous spoonful or two of honey at night, either as a warm drink or straight from the jar, and promises to help us sleep and lose weight at the same time by fuelling the liver, speeding up fat-burning metabolism and easing stress hormones. And if you are considering artificial sugar or sweetener like Aspartame to help you lose weight, you are putting yourself completely on the wrong track. It might get you off from a few calories but it gives you a bunch of other serious health problems.
