Exercises

As I mentioned in my last blog, you do not need alot of equipment to workout. Let me explain how to do a few of the exercises
Lat Pulldown - put the band at the top of the door and shut it(make sure you have it even on each side), stand or sit on the group or chair and with an overhand grip pull the band to your shoulders and then let the band go back up.
Bicep Curls - Stand on the band in the middle, same distance on each side. Place you arms at your side and bring the band up to your shoulders, lower and repeat.
Side Step outer thighs -Step in the middle of the band, same distance on each side. Go sideways on the band, count for 20(bring leg foot to right foot and so on) and go back the other way.

Do Diets Works?

I have been asked do diets work? In my opinion diets do not work. It is very hard to stay on a diet the rest of your life. If you need to lose weight and you have a hard time with portion control, I do recommend Weight Watchers. I have had clients who were on the Atkins diet. The problem was they lost the weight, but as soon as they went off the diet they gained their weight back. The key to losing weight and keeping it off is changing the way you eat and making it a life decision. This means watching your portions and eat healthy protein and carbohydrates. If you need more information, or help on losing weight and keeping it off email me at karen@bestformfitness.com and I will answer all your questions. Also visit my website at www.bestformfitness.com

Weight Training

When you start a weight training program and continue it for 3 months then stop and don't do anything, you will lose  muscle definition. If you start back up 6 months later, the muscle remembers and it will not take as long to build it back up. Incorporate weight training into your workout routine, as well as continue doing cardiovascular exercise 3 to 4 times a week.

Breakfast

Eat a healthy breakfast every morning. This will give you energy and you won't be inclined to eat more at your next meal.
