Welcome to Sugar Free September 2013 (written by the muesli)

If you joined us last year, welcome back and if this is your first look at SFS we’re thrilled to have you along.

First things first – Sugar Free September isn’t about fundraising, it’s about YOU.  Just try it to see and feel the difference.

Going sugar free is a great step towards smarter eating and healthier living.  That’s what Sugar Free September is all about.

Sugar Free Tip #1

Start the habit to kick the habit!

Get into the habit of using The One Line Rule® and it’s easy to kick the sugar habit!

The One Line Rule®:   On any nutrition panel, check one line, SUGARS. If it’s more than 5g per 100g (5%), move on.

'Australians Are Getting Fatter' (New York Times, July 25, 2013)

We're still 'lucky' but increasingly we're seen as the 'tubby' country. Today, 60% of adult Australians and 25% of children are considered obese. If that wasn't scary enough, these numbers are growing faster than any other industrialised nation.

Excess sugar is one of the key causes. Health authorities warn us about 'sugar filled drinks'. What we hear less about is the sugar in many packaged foods across our supermarket shelves. That's where The One Line Rule® comes in. It's a great way to keep sugar in check and appropriately is Sugar Free Tip #1 in our plan to go sugar free this September.

Here's our SFS plan for success:

Tip #1:  Use The One Line Rule ®:  On any Nutrition panel, check one line, SUGARS. If it's more than 5g per 100g (5%), move on.

Tip #2:  Stock take then stock up. Before filling the pantry with healthy options like The Muesli, chuck out everything that fails The One Line Rule.

Tip #3:  Get fresh. Keep meals simple. Use delicious fresh produce and avoid processed food.

Tip #4:  See, feel, enjoy the difference. There is life after sugar. In fact, most people say they have more energy than ever.

Go sugar free this September. What have you got to lose? Except maybe a kilo or two.

Good luck!

The countdown is on...

STAY FIT WHILE TRAVELING

We all know how hard it is to maintain our fitness routine while on vacation. Whether for  a few days or several weeks, over seas or just a weekend getaway, it is important and extremely beneficial to continue some sort of exercise and healthy eating plan.

Today I welcome Mike Manning as a guest blogger to my site. Mike has written a wonderful article on Staying Fit While Traveling for Business or Pleasure and generously decided to share it with us.

Mike describes himself as a healthy living and fitness aficionado and I know you will enjoy reading this informative article.

Many thanks Mike!

 

Staying Fit While Traveling for Business or Pleasure

Working physical fitness into travel plans has never been simple. Between a lack of time and lack of adequate exercise facilities, travelers often place their workout regimen on hold. This is a mistake that can leave travelers with less energy and more stress. Depending on whether a person is traveling for pleasure or business, failure to exercise may also result in an extra few pounds. Exercise and travel don't have to be at odds. Adding a workout into one's plans for a vacation or business trip is easier than ever to accomplish.

Successfully working exercise into a trip requires research and planning on the part of the traveler. For people who walk, jog, or run, research typically involves finding the most convenient and safest park or jogging trail near the hotel. Nearby shopping malls or college campuses make suitable substitutes if there are no suitable parks or trails. For other people, planning and research may involve looking for a hotel that offers a gym for guests to use. Some hotel gyms offer classes such as yoga, Pilates or spinning, in addition to free weights and exercise equipment. On a recent trip to San Francisco I was able to book a great hotel for my fitness needs that was in my budget by doing a little research beforehand. I searched a travel reviews site that gave me a list of the best San Francisco hotels and from there I was able to see the amenities each hotel offered along with the reviews from people who have stayed there.

In some cities, airports are making it possible for travelers to get fit while waiting for their flight. This is an ideal solution for people with long layovers or who arrive early for their flight. San Francisco International Airport, for example, offers a Yoga Room that is free of charge for travelers. Other airports, such as Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, have a walking path that is a part of their affiliation with the American Heart Association and its Start! Walking Program. The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has both a yoga studio and a walking path.

If none of the above options are suitable, simple solutions can help. From push-ups to working out with resistance bands, a person can get a quick workout in without leaving their hotel room. When traveling on a business trip, taking a pair of gym shoes and walking to meetings as opposed to taking a cab is another way to keep active when time is limited and distance allows. Regardless of what type of activity a person chooses, as little as 20 to 30 minutes a day can help keep them energized and reduce anxiety.

Regenerate Personal Training Christmas 2012 Survival Tips

 

                        Some Simple tips To keep your Christmas Fitness on Track

• Better to eat smaller amounts and drink lots of water throughout the day and really enjoy a healthful dinner.

• Control your portion sizes: Draw a 12-inch dinner plate in your mind and divide it into three-inch-sized circles with each one representing one food group: proteins, vegetables and starches. The key is to stay within your circle for each food group: If you like turkey and ham, fit a little of both in one circle.

• If you’re worried about the food choices, bring your own low-calorie dish or veggie tray to family gatherings.

• Even if you can't get to the gym try to maintain some recreational activity. Try to be active: Go for a bike ride, a long brisk walk, a run or spend at least one hour at your local gym to burn calories before the big meal.

• Plan a family event that involves physical activity—a pick-up game of basketball, a long brisk walk together outdoors or a family bike ride—after the big meal.

•  Why not go back to basics and complete some body weight exercises such as squats, lunges, push ups , pull ups, tricep dips, ab curls, etc. These exercises can be done anywhere!

• Be mindful of your alcohol intake: Mixed drinks tend to have high amounts of concentrated sugar and quickly add empty calories. One glass of wine may be reasonable, but remember alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram, which makes it nearly twice as fattening as carbohydrates or protein.

Take time out!

 While Christmas is a lot of fun it can also be a very stressful time of year for us. Take time out each day to spend some quiet time on your own. That doesn’t mean you have to sit under a tree and meditate, just take 10 min to read a book, stop sit and listen to your favourite song, take a relaxing bath. This small amount of time alone will leave you relaxed and ready for the rest of the day’s activities.

 New Year's Resolutions

If you overdo it these holidays, set a firm New Year date to get back on track. By setting this date you can forget about your indulgences and focus on becoming slim, fit and fabulous in 2013.

 Personal Training Xmas / New Year times

Just a short note to wish you and your families the very best for the festive season and thank you for your continued support and custom this year. It’s been great to continue to train the regulars and grow the business with new clients. Congratulations on the improvements you have all made towards better health and well-being!

I hope to see you back in 2013 after a short break for some R & R between Monday December 24th and January 13th. PT sessions recommence MONDAY 14TH JANUARY.

Wishing you all, joy, peace and happiness this Christmas.
