Those of you who really know me, know that I do not like to sweat and really do not believe in cardio, but walking and activity is essential.

Muscle of the Month!

Gluteus medius is your hip and side of butt muscle! Training this muscle properly will result in smaller hips and stretching it will help you reduce IT band injuries. If you are having trouble perfecting your form in class, book a training session !

Do you feel your butt lifts in your back sometimes? Your brain, which is your master computer does not know that you are doing butt lifts to well.... work your butt! All your brain knows is that you are asking it to lift your hips up in to the air.

Muscle of the Month!

Did you know that your butt muscle (gluteus maximus) is the largest muscle in your body? Did you know that every time that you sit, this muscle relaxes and stretches out (ie: gets flabbier)?

Triceps

So, I received a ton of email last week about my biceps curl comment :) To create Synergy in your arms for that ultimate hot, sculpted non-bulky look......

Hot, sexy arms!

You can spot tone and change your body! I prove it every day!!!!!!

Smart not Hard!

Did you know that one of the best ways to get a better looking butt is by stretching your hip flexors?? When this muscle is tight it inhibits a full contraction of your gluteal muscles thus limiting your work out. So stretch as part of creating your Synergy! Work smart not hard :)

Take a Walk!

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:51:03 -0400

My favorite means of exercise is walking! Especially on a nice summer night or early in the morning. Track your steps with a pedometer to motivate you towards your 10,000 steps a day. For some great local places to walk, try Castle Island in South Boston, World's End in Hingham (there is an entrance fee but this 100 acre oasis is an amazing getaway that is incredibly close to the city) or if you are a tree lover try the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. Fun, relaxing and exercise!

Summer Safety

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:51:39 -0400

I am going to step out from the fit tip for this week, to provide a safety tip. Each year in Boston, when the summer weather comes upon us, we all get excited from being in our cold "caves" of winter and try to be out in the warmth as much as possible. As you all know, I am an advocate of walking!!!....

Know the Job

The key to getting any muscle in shape is communication. Like any kind of communication, you need to speak the same language and in order to speak the language of any muscle it is important to know about that persons (or muscles) job. Think of it as cocktail party conversation, when you say "What do you do?" What you are really asking are, what are your interests, your responsibilities, your language. When you understand this about your muscles, you can spend your workout time, working the muscle and not just doing the exercise. Making your workouts more efficient and your body more amazing.If you do not feel or understand the muscle, ask or book a training appointment to work one on one with me to discover you!!
