I would like to take a minute to talk about equipment, and to my right this has to be one of the most inexpensive but effective home gyms available. If you are limited on space or money, these simple pieces of fitness equipment can make the difference. I use these items often with my client’s, first up the very versatile, Swiss ball or resistance ball. A great piece of equipment, light weight and you can perform many different exercises with this ball. Many of the exercises are great for your core development and will help you keep a nice toned body.

Next up is the resistance band. This light weight and functional piece of fitness equipment is great to take with you when you travel. I often will do some resistance exercises with it on various muscle groups at home as I am watching TV. This along with some light dumbbells and the Swiss ball and you have a functional home gym for less then $100.00 with the Yoga mat.

So there you have it, use the tools obey the rules and drop that weight once and for all. If you want an exciting result’s driven in home fitness training program, maybe you should consider hiring a professional to help you successfully build your fitness foundation and create your fitness program for you, then over time as you develop your fitness you can maintain your fitness all on your own and become your own fitness trainer.  If you live in Maryland and need some assistance reaching a fitness goal and getting started please contact Shape Shifter Fitness today. If you know someone having difficulty with their health and fitness that lives in Maryland, Northern Virginia or Washington DC please share this artice.

1. Maryland Personal Trainers Get Maryland Resident’s Fit At Home Maryland Resident’s Learn Lifestyle Change From Their Personal Trainer. Hello...

The Master

 Anyway this naturally led me to Bruce’s JKD Jeet Kune Do, I think Bruce really captured the spirit of mixed martial arts. I like the lines he has in Enter The Dragon when he says ” A good fight should be like a play, but played seriously” One should be in a relaxed state, not dreaming, but not fixed ready for whatever comes.” How awesome and true is that. Anyway personal training and martial arts is just an extension of fitness training is very important to me and I am happy to still get instruction and happy to be able to teach what I know to others. It is a very true if not one of the truest forms of self expression there is.

  Anyway I like this show on Discovery now called Fight Science. It is pretty cool, these two guys go all around the world learning, training, and then fighting in all sorts of various martial arts. It is really cool. I have seen them in japan, South Korea, I know they are going to go to Rio, and the past show, they were in Indonesia. It is called Fight Science anyway check it out. The last show they did in Indonesia was on the art Pencak Silat

Pencak Silat is very cool and surprisingly effective. Most martial art systems if used correctly are effective. In real combat, you know do or die though just about anything goes. Any system can work if used correctly. I would say though the two biggest factors in creating a world class martial artist is conditioning, and training, and open sparring and actually fighting. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed my martial arts post. I look forward to many more martial arts topics and posts in the future.

1. Montgomery County Maryland Personal Trainers Do In Home Personal Training Are you looking for a Montgomery County Maryland Personal Trainer? ...

1. Motivation
   One of the biggest reasons people stop exercising is because they lose motivation, primarily from lack of results. One of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is that they don’t loss motivation to stick with a consistent exercise program. When the trainer shows up at your house, you know it’s time to do or die. So certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability, and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health.
2. Individualized program
   What you don’t need is some cookie cutter exercise program .If you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals. A great trainer will assess your current level of fitness and then create a program to meet your fitness goals as safely and quickly as possible.
3. Efficiency
   Personal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting your time doing inefficient workouts. A personal trainer has a plan and will help you get maximum results in minimum time. This is important because the faster you see result’s the more motivated you will be to continue on your path to a healthy rewarding lifestyle.
   

   "The Shape Shifter"

4. Improve technical skills
   If you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques specific to your sport. The personal trainer will incorporate skills training into your program so you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility and mental focus as well. Our Maryland sports personal trainers have helped many achieve greater performance on and off the playing field.
5. You are new to exercise
   If you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach. A good trainer will introduce you to exercise is a safe and encouraging manner with a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.
6. Break through plateaus
   Ok, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you’ve been where you are for years. You just can’t seem to shake your current state of fitness and reach some higher levels. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but create new and challenging exercise routines.
7. Learn how to go it alone
   If you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your own routines so you don’t need to use a personal trainer, going for a few months may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results. I stress this the most to my client’s, it is much more important what you are able to achieve on your own.
8. Workout Safely
   A personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and can provide objective feedback about your limits and strengths. Most of us tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. We either push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personal trainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, they can help push you or slow you down as necessary.
9. Workout at home
   Many personal trainers make house calls. If you don’t have the type or interest in going to a gym, but have a hard time knowing what to do on your own at home, a personal trainer can bring fitness into your living room.

10.  Lose Weight
There is a good reason that the number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight. You can say goodbye to fad diets and realize to get in shape you need exercise and good nutrition — it works. If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.

So you have heard of strength training, aerobic exercise, the daily food pyramid, and the list goes on and on. You would like to lose some weight, and have decided you are going to do something about it. You could always hire a professional certified fitness trainer. If you live in Maryland, Northern Virginia or the District of Columbia my company is at http://www.shapeshifterfitness.com however if not and you have decided to give it a shot on your own, I will lay the ground rules for you. 

The biggest mistake someone can make is to increase their activity level, and cut way back on their nutritional intake. So the first place to start is with nutrition, or more specifically, performance nutrition because there is a big difference. First you need to understand the daily recommended caloric intake is a scientific approach. 

What it comes down to are two important things, first being thermodynamics. So without getting too scientific, think of it as calories in and calories out. Now everyone has what is called a RMR, or resting metobolic rate. This is the amount of calories your body burns in a restful state. So if you were to lay awake on the sofa all day and watch television the amount of calories you burn to keep your heart beating, and lungs working, along with all of your other bodily functions is your RMR. 

Now you have to factor in the activity level, another words your exercise program, which should include strength training that builds lean muscle, and helps you burn more fat, and aerobic activity (2-3 days) that helps increase your ability to use more oxygen, another words strengthens your heart muscle, wiithout all the weight lifting. Remember when you are building muscle, it ways more then fat so you want to balance it out. 

So now how do we tie it all together to have the perfect program for weight loss with the right combination of nutrition, strength training, and cardio. Before you strength train make sure you have some good carbs about an hour before you lift, and after you are done, get some good protien. The protien will help in the muscle repair, and the carbs will help fuel your workout. Try to have a 50/30/20 ratio of 50 percent carbs, 30 percent protiens, and 20 percent healthy fat. 

Now also remember you are trying to create a defecit from your calories, but you want it to come from activity, and not from lack of nutrition. If your doing cardio for an hour that burns 450 calories, your RMR is maybe 1500 calories, but you have only taken in 1200 calories for the day, that is a 300 calorie defecit that came from lack of nutrition, plus the 450 calories burned, this will stop your body from burning fat, and slow your matabolism. 

So in closing, try to match your caloric intake with your activity level, and create a defecit from the activity and don’t starve yourself, use some fad diet, or magic pills because it does not work in the long run, exercise and sound nutrition are the best tools you have to losing weight.

Your Shape Shifter Maryland personal trainer can help you with a nutritional approach as well that will help you succeed.

One thing to remember that is very important is that when you are working with your personal trainer you will be developing some muscle, and the muscle does weigh more then fat. This maybe the initial cause why the scale does not drop as fast as you would like but don’t worry you will be losing inches of body fat and replacing it with healthy muscle.

Just remember, if you have over forty to fifty pounds you need to lose that it did not take only six weeks or two months to gain it, so it is not going to take only six weeks to two months to lose the weight, but you should experience a healthy weight loss of up to two pounds per week while working with a Shape Shifter Fitness trainer, and improving your endurance as well.
