A Responsible and Safe Weight-loss Program
If your health care provider tells you that you should lose weight and you want to find a weight-loss program to help you, look for one that is based on regular physical activity and an eating plan that is balanced, healthy, and easy to follow. Weight-loss programs should encourage healthy behaviors that help you lose weight and that you can stick with every day.

Safe and effective weight-loss programs should include:
Healthy eating plans that reduce calories but do not forbid specific foods or food groups.
Tips to increase moderate-intensity physical activity.
Tips on healthy habits that also keep your cultural needs in mind, such as lower-fat versions of your favorite foods.
Slow and steady weight loss. Depending on your starting weight, experts recommend losing weight at a rate of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week. Weight loss may be faster at the start of a program.
A plan to keep the weight off after you have lost it.

Next time you do cardio get on an;

Elliptical trainers tread motion is similar to that of a stair climber machine but instead of stepping up and down the elliptical trainer steps in an elliptical motion. This elliptical motion produces less impact on the knee and hip joints. This low impact feature is one of the main benefits of the trainer.
The full body exercise features and the weight bearing design are what allow you to burn more calories than you would on an exercise bike or treadmill. Although you can get some strength building benefit from the load bearing design of an elliptical trainer, it is primarily made for cardiovascular exercise. You can really get quite a cardiovascular workout with one of these machines. Some people compare the workout to walking through sand or snow.
Ultimately, working all of these different muscle groups will give you a toner, fitter body. The workout is more even. You will also lose weight, tighten your muscles, and improve the health of your cardiovascular system.

We are approaching the CIBC Run for the cure on Oct 5th.

I will be running in the race and look forward to seeing others join or donate!

Here is a great Upper Back exercise with Stretch Band

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft, posture erect and abdominals tight. Grasp the stretch band so hands are slightly wider than shoulder width apart. With your palms facing the floor, bend your elbows and lift your arms to chest height.

Expand your chest and pull your shoulder blades back and together. Keep your lower body stationary and maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

Return to starting position and repeat.

This weather is awesome!!! Can't ask for anything better for Sept. Hopefully it continues for the rest of the month!

However now to some fitness tips and recipes!!

Fitness Tips
1. Everyone has their mind on a trimmed torso and core. Did you know that by adding in the side plank to your routine you will be sure to get that tight core and trimmed body. All it takes is making sure you have proper form and slowly increase the intensity!

2. Cardio-most people cringe at the thought of having to run FOREVER as they put it. Good news, you can pick any exercise you enjoy and turn it into a cardio workout.
Here's how; Say you like squats.
Start with 10 squats, rest 5 secs,
20 squats, rest 5 secs,
30 sqauts, rest 5 secs,
40 sqauts, rest 5 secs.
Repeat 2-4x 3.

If you have a stationary bike or a treadmill a good starting out workout would be to do short intervals!
Here's how it's done;
Ride fast for 30 secs
Slow 30secs Repeat that for 10 mins.

You can increase the mins you do as you improve, or you can increase the intensity of the hard part and keep the same 10 mins.

The key to fitness and cardio is to NEVER do the same workout, variety and intensity are the name of the game. Which = results!

September is here!!
