September Fitness Facts
I found an interesting article on the internet entitled “7 bad habits of overweight people”. Read on and do a self-check to see if
any of these habits are ones you have let creep into your lifestyle and focus on deleting them asap!
“Most people who pack on extra pounds didn't get there overnight. It usually takes years of unhealthy habits which can be hard
to overcome. Here are seven common bad habits that can contribute to weight gain and what you can do to avoid them:
1. They don't exercise regularly.
Dylan Gautreaux, fitness manager for 24 Hour Fitness in Carrollton, Texas, recommends two to three cardio sessions per
week of 20 to 45 minutes and two to three resistance training sessions per week of 30 to 45 minutes. He says resistance
training will build muscle that helps burn fat.
2. They eat most of their meals out.
"Restaurant portions are enormous and most of us were brought up to belong to the clean plate club," says LouAnn Frisch, a
dietitian in Portland, Oregon. She says that Mexican and Chinese restaurants probably have the highest calorie meals, but if
you must eat out: "Thai and Vietnamese foods are better. Pho soups and won-ton soups are great choices." [Pho,
pronounced "fa," is a Vietnamese soup that's usually made with beef.]
3. They always eat a second portion.
"It really does take 20 minutes for your brain to catch up with your stomach. But most people consume high amounts of food in
20 minutes," says Frisch. She acknowledges that it's difficult to slow down, but suggests putting less food on your plate and
skipping seconds.
4. They avoid even light activity.
"There are little things that you can do to lead a more active lifestyle," says Gautreaux. "Take breaks and get some fresh air
instead of sitting at your desk all day. There are even stability balls made to sit behind a desk instead of a chair. These cause
you to sit up straight, hold your back up and burn more calories."
5. They never turn down sweets.
Frisch doesn't recommend cutting out sweets completely, just cutting down on them: "If you need chocolate, have some. Not a
lot, just some. But savor it and be happy with a small portion."
6. They eat even when they're not hungry.
"Eating is a physiologically and psychologically satisfying, mood-altering experience. Most people eat, not because they are
hungry, but for other reasons," says Frisch. Learn what triggers you to eat and healthier ways to reward yourself or brighten
your mood.
7. They skip meals.
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School found that skipping meals can play a role in obesity.
Eating fewer, larger meals may cause insulin to spike, which triggers hunger and could cause more blood sugar to be stored
as fat. The study found that people who eat several, smaller meals were less likely to be obese. Overweight people may find it
difficult initially to overcome their bad habits, but the results of better eating and exercise habits are very rewarding.”

Cleanse your Body Today at TBB!!!
If you are not among those getting regular massages, ask yourself these questions:
1. Am I sore and stiff in the morning when I get up?
2. Am I recovering quickly from those awesome workouts?
3. Am I swollen or feel sluggish?
4. Are my insides working at it’s best to eliminate?
If you answered YES to questions 1 and 3 or NO to questions 2 and 4, you may want to consider joining the ranks of those
getting regular massages and reaping the benefits of all the wonderful things that massage can do.
Have you read all of the recent articles about the amounts of pain relievers and pain killers that have been out lately stating
that the US is at an all time high of prescription pain killer consumption? Why not try massage to relieve the pain and produce
the pain-releasing endorphins NATURALLY!!! In the long run, it will be VERY cost-effective and a lot better for you. Now, I am
not totally against medication and I DO go to the doctor when I need too, BUT, I am a firm believer that a good massage and
bodywork can go along way to help the body heal itself. Stress is one of the biggest pains that cause pain. Give yourself a
treat and revitalize and relax and GET A MASSAGE!!
Massage can also help beat fatigue and that sluggish feeling. Abdominal massage can be done to move out the bloaties and
help with constipation. Just ask your therapist to include it in your regular massage. Add a massage along with a Detoxifying
Foot Bath and WOW….. You will feel GREAT.
