No Matter How Well Tuned You Think You Are You Still Need to Workout

June 9th, 2011

Tyler TX GymI used to have a BMW M5 that I only drove every once in awhile. I noticed if I let the car sit too long things simply didn’t work as well and occasionally I even had to take it in to a mechanic.

When I took the car in one day to Mike Pile BMW the mechanic said, “You haven’t been driving this car lately, have you?” He explained to me that this car was built to be on the road and shouldn’t be garaged for too long.

I was actually hurting the car and its performance by keeping it in the garage and only driving it on special occasions.

Just like that M5 I used to have, your body was designed to exercise and move on a daily basis. When on multiple days you park your body in a Lazy Boy recliner and do not move eventually you will destroy your engine.

Most of us are sick and not feeling in tip top shape because we are like robots doing the same thing each day with no real change refusing to stir the water in our body with exercise and action.

Your body over time becomes a stagnant pool of disease and unhealthy garbage heaps of chemicals and bad choices.

Eventually your body will not have the ability to exercise at a local Tyler TX gym because of heart disease, arthritis, and other disabling worsening diseases.

By getting the water moving in your body and beginning to exercise at a local Tyler TX gym you will see many powerful effects on your health.

By understanding that people are basically robots and simply do the same typical things each day you can understand that unless a drastic change is made in your environment you will likely keep doing the same things.

Most of us are simply laying down sheets and sheets of the same road on top of each other as we do and make the same habitual mistakes over and over again.

Your rational mind likely knows what to do but your emotional side simply cannot get yourself out of the habits you do almost everyday that keep you from moving your body.

A little trick and cheat to getting your emotional brain to do what your rational mind has been telling you is to change your environment.

By getting involved in a fitness program at a local Tyler TX gym you are changing your environment. You are surrounded by people who all have the goal of moving their bodies and exercising their way to a healthy lifestyle.

The fitness instructor is your personal trainer as well as everyone’s in that class. You get the guidance and moral support of your peers and an expert in the field of physical fitness that all works as an amazing trick to subtly trick your emotional mind into doing what you your rational self had known for years.

So take action and change you environment, as this is a direct shortcut to reprogramming that robot in everybody that is doing the wrong thing day after day.

XTC Fitness is one of many Tyler Texas gyms but offers more options and a flexible schedule when choosing a suitable fitness class. Tony Cruz XTC Fitness gym offers Kickboxing classes, Yoga classes, Zumba Classes, and more throughout the day.

I personally go to the fitness class this Tyler TX gym offers during my work lunch hour each day.

XTC Fitness is located on Broadway in Tyler right next to The Diner. Go by and check them out or visit their website here: XTC Fitness

Tyler TX Kick Boxing ClassChoosing a fitness club in Tyler TX requires that you know your options and which one is right for you.

Tony Cruz XTC Fitness offers many options in the form of exercise classes for adults and kids.

There are Zumba dance classes, kickboxing classes (which I do 5 days a week), and Yoga classes.

The fitness classes work out well for me as I don’t want to pay for a personal trainer but that is pretty much what I am getting just with more people.

The kick boxing class is great as you get to work on your fitness goals with other like minded people.

Tyler, Texas Weight Watchers for weight loss

July 21st, 2010

Weight Watchers in Tyler TX
The Weight Watchers program for weight loss is a weight management program that simplifies calorie counting by assigning a point value to every food.  Members are assessed upon joining the program to determine what their maximum daily point intakes should be. 

Members are required to attend regular meetings for weigh-ins as well as to discuss with others what their progress is.  People can find a great support structure at these meetings and learn tips, share challenges, and form friendships.

In Tyler, Texas there is 1 local group and 32 other groups in the surrounding areas, so finding a group convenient for you should not be difficult.  Weight Watchers recently added online meetings to their website if you are unable to attend group meetings; however going to face to face groups will give you a more personal support group. 

Having someone to be accountable to as well as to encourage you when you face difficulties can make all the difference in the world on your weight loss journey.

Weight Watchers is not designed to be a temporary diet, but more of a new lifestyle approach.  When you have reached your goal for weight loss you can decide if you want to continue attending meetings or not, but should keep the same attitude toward food regardless in order to maintain your new weight. 

Additional points are allowed for different exercises and Weight Watchers encourages members to adopt a healthy fitness routine.  Visit the Weight Watchers website to find a group in Tyler, Texas.

Resistance Training for Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

July 20th, 2010

Many people, especially women, tend to avoid resistance training for the fear of bulking up too much.  Resistance training, however, turns your body into a fat burning machine, particularly when combined with cardio exercises.  The repair phase on days in between resistance workouts when your muscles heal themselves is really what gives the results, not how much resistance you use necessarily.  It is important in resistance training to put quality over quantity, controlling each and every movement and performing the moves correctly.

Personal trainers in Tyler, Texas would be an excellent source for learning how to incorporate resistance training into your weekly weight loss regimen.  Instructional videos are also good tools, just be sure to watch the entire workout and learn what to do before you attempt any of the exercises.  Because building muscle boosts your metabolism, the more muscle mass you add the better the fat burning power your body has.  Every pound of muscle mass will burn 50 calories a day just by being there!

If bulk is a concern, use lower weight resistance tools such as free weights or resistance bands, but be sure to use enough to challenge yourself.  You should reach failure before you reach the maximum rep count; otherwise your weights are too light.  Because muscle weighs more than fat, you may not see immediate results on the scale, but it won’t take long before you start seeing a difference in the tape measure and the way your clothes fit, and that’s what matters.
