TIPS FROM THE TRAINERS
Well, it’s that time again. The holidays are here! (Soon, anyway). Before we get hit with an onslaught of yummy stuff, let’s look at tips to prepare now to help keep us in control (We hope).
The following are a couple of tips we all know, but may not necessarily love. They are tried and true and, backed up by Harvard Medical School. Ten suggestions are listed in the full article provided below, but we will focus here on two that seem easier to implement.
Walk. Aim for 10,000 steps a day. Yes, we know this is a lot. But even if you finish the day at 6,000, and this is more than you normally do, then you are already winning.
Drink water. We all know the benefits of hydration. Many experts say water provides a tremendous boost to our metabolism. Of course, we aim for eight cups a day. But again, if you drink four and it’s more than your usual amount, then…that's a win!
There are other tips too that take a little more effort such as reading labels, cutting back on alcohol, etc. But little changes make big differences. Read through the suggestions and prepare in advance!
From the personal training staff: John Rutan, Don Moore, JB Baier, Victoria Young, Allison Worley, Julie O’Connor, Michelle Dwyer, Brendi Middleton, Mike Stuchl, Rachelle Jensen, Byron Goff and Michelle Rakow.
