Diabetes Prevention and Much More!!!

Hey Everyone! Its another mid week workout! Hope everyone has had a great week! Keep the emails coming. Did everyone get some workouts in this past week? Remember moving is the key so stay active and keep going no matter what.

Fitness Tips: I have gotten some emails about the new fitness craze of the sneakers that claim to tone and tighten your butt and thighs. So should you or shouldn't you. This is my feedback on them. It doesn't matter if it is sketchers, nike, reebok, etc. If we all got butts like they show on the commercial from wearing these sneakers all day we wouldn't have more than half americans with diabetes, with obesity, and many other health problems. Can they hurt no, but don't expect to get in shape with just wearing those shoes. Diet, Cardio, and being active is what gives you those nice butt and thighs. For the price of the shoes you should just go buy some fitness equipment or join a gym and really get the results you want along with helping your health.

I want everyone to be aware that type 2 Diabetes is a serious problem growing in the united states and also in my family. My grandfather died of Diabetes, my grandma Dunbar has it, my uncle, and now recently my father. I want to give everyone a heads up on certain things they can do now to help prevent getting type 2 Diabetes.

1. Stay active and get at least 30 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week.
2. Watch your weight, know your waist to hip ratio and stay within your range
3. Eat a well balanced meal with correct portion sizes. Follow the food guide pyramid
4. Make sure you know the numbers for your blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides.
These measures will help to keep you healthy so try it out and let me know if you need help with more information on diabetes or what any of these items mean.

Goal this Week:

When I train my clients the number one thing I always make sure they do with their diet along with exercise is to make sure they eat a well balanced breakfast. So everyone eat breakfast this week and watch your night cravings go away and see your energy sore. Also try to get in at least 45 min of exercise 4 times this week.

Stay Strong and always remember enjoy the journey!
