Hello everyone. Summer must be coming to an end because now it’s getting dark outside earlier; but the good news is Football Season has begun!
For the next three Frank Talks I would like to touch on the topic of “Effective Eating Habits”.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a nutritionist, but I do have a basic knowledge of nutrition and I am certified through the American Council on Exercise as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant.
Improving your health, getting your body in great shape and becoming more attractive does not have to be rocket science.
Here are a few simple suggestions:
1. Proper nutrition should be #1 on your list for a healthier body. The way you eat determines how you feel and look. It’s above strength and cardio training. Remember, it doesn’t matter how much hard work you put into your workouts if you don’t feed your body the proper fuel. You will not obtain optimal results because about 80% of how you feel and look is determined on what you put into your body.
2. For individuals who want to lose excess body fat or just want to stay trim, controlling your metabolism is a key factor.
What you eat, the number of meals throughout the day and portion size all have an effect on your metabolism.
3. Try to eat smaller and more frequent meals throughout the day. This will help control your metabolism.
If you are one of the many people who have difficulty with proper nutrition, my staff is here to help you on the road to a more fit and healthy lifestyle.
Well, that’s it for now. In my next Talk I will continue to educate you on Effective Eating Habits.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START AN EXCERCISE PROGRAM WITH A PROFESSIONAL PERSONAL TRAINER?
Hello everyone – and I hope that you are enjoying the Summer. I can’t believe that the unofficial end of Summer, Labor Day, is only a couple of weeks away. Time flies when you’re having fun.
So…when is the best time to start an exercise or fitness program?
Many people believe that after the holidays, at the beginning of the New Year, is the best time to think about getting fit and healthy. Of course, that’s because quite a few people will make a “resolution” to get fit, only to forget about that resolution in a couple of weeks, or less.
Some people want to start the year fresh, so they believe that “this is the year I’m going to start thinking about myself.” Of course, then the excuses start: I’m waiting for my credit card statements from holiday shopping; I need to pay off some bills from Christmas…and so on, and so on.
Post holiday season…gone.
Ah…Spring!! The warmer weather starts to arrive and with the warmer weather there are less clothes to hide behind. So now people think about getting into that cute outfit for the Spring. Especially in Virginia Beach, swimsuit season is right around the corner. So let’s start a fitness program now.
And the excuses: I would really want to start a program but the Summer will be here before you know it, school will be out and vacation plans will only sabotage my good intentions; I don’t have time right now – the Summer will be so busy for me.
Spring season…gone.
Here’s Summer!!! No good…too much running around; vacations to plan; I have to spend more time with my children; I think I’ll wait until the Summer is over.
Summer season…gone.
Finally, the Fall season has arrived. People want to take off some of those excess Summer pounds and start getting stronger. Of course, you want to look and feel better before Thanksgiving and Christmas arrives. People gain an average of 10 pounds of excess bodyfat between those two holidays.
But, of course, this is not a good time to start living healther – holiday parties are going to derail my good intentions.
So, in an eye blink another 365 days have gone by with more excess pounds and less conditioning.
The above comments are all actual excuses we have heard at Fitness Together. People will do or say anything just to get out of doing the “right” thing, which is getting in shape and living a healthy lifestyle.
What is your excuse?
