How to Get Fit, Healthy and Toned


hi my name is Julie marsland I’m a
personal trainer group fitness
instructor reebok master trainer as well
and basically i’m here to give you and
Veronica a few tips on how you can stay
motivated and really stay on track with
your fitness goals for 2011 number one
tip I would have to say is be realistic
a lot of people will start off gung-ho
2011 I’m gonna train seven days a week
and then slowly realize that that’s just
not possible ideally we always recommend
about three days a week minima right
that’s a good sway to start off a date
and then you can gradually start to
increase from there other tips my
biggest suggestion to those who are
obviously super busy is schedule the
time into your agendas lastly you can
maybe even pair up with a friends that’s
always a good way to stay motivated
because and you’ve got that other person
kind of kick me in the butt telling you
to come to the gym place a bet yeah see
who wins i have a client who placed a
bet with his brother saying seeing who
would lose 20 pounds of first so those
are just my suggestions so if you’re not
meeting your fitness objectives or
you’re not losing the way that you were
hoping to actually lose could be for a
few reasons the first could actually be
over training now in most cases however
that’s usually not the situation but it
could be so you want to kind of gauge
you know how you’re feeling and just how
often you’re training because sometimes
you know going to three our workouts
really aren’t necessary to achieve your
results also other things to look out
for our proper nutrition so obviously
your foods going to have a huge impact
on your results that you’re going to
achieve so stick to really natural foods
you know lean proteins good fats healthy
carbohydrates those are basically or
winning formulas your intensity to is
going to be an important factor and I
see you kind of peeling away nice and
gently there now you know you can do a
one hour workout make it super efficient
kind of high-impact high energy and it’s
gonna be the best thing for your
metabolism really boost up your calorie
burn and sort of maximize your metabolic
results so what do you say we crank this
puppy up a little bit here yeah I can do
it all right other things again just
talking about you Trish in like earlier
you know reducing the sugar from your
diet these are all substitutions that
are going to be easy
easy hahaha substituting for whole
grains as it looks like a white bread in
the white pasta that sort of thing you
know if you’re going out for a walk with
the dog well instead of just making it a
walk why not make it a walk / run you’re
going out anyway so you may as well
maybe up the ante a little bit and add a
little bit more intensity bring a
frisbee and play along with the dog come
to a red light and all of a sudden that
red light indicates that ok I’ve got
can’t wrap my abs so go into like a
tummy vacuum or something for example
like we’re doing right now is sitting on
a stability ball so if you’re at home
and you got one maybe sit on this while
you’re watching TV because you got to
hold yourself up right you have to have
proper posture otherwise what happens
you’ll fall off the ball so you can even
do this at the office I’ve seen a lot of
people that are substituting the chairs
now for stability balls with in the
office yeah so these are all little
things that don’t take away from our
daily routine but can be really useful
another great way to get yourselves into
the gym is to put on a great colorful
outfit now obviously when you go buy a
new workout gear you want to wear it
right you got to go to the gym so good
way to get in here now you can see what
some of the clothing Veronica’s wearing
here through her shoulder blades there’s
these two bands and this is easy tone
resist own technology and you’re going
to notice it’s a rigid fabric that’s
going to enhance your posture it’s going
to create a little bit of resistance so
each time you move each time you engage
in a movement you’re going to work those
muscles that much harder so the
rhomboids the mid traps a little bit
here through your back and through your
shoulders now right here there’s a nice
panel perfect position by the way hahaha
so within that panel once again is that
resist own technology that panels met
once again to create a little bit more
resistance so yeah get the firm up your
butt and achieve those results a little
bit faster it’s not a magic pale what
its gonna do is you know just give you
that little extra edge a little extra
something to help you achieve those
goals the footwear basically is balanced
pod technology that’s been incorporated
into the shoe into the soul which
creates an unstable surface therefore
activating your leg muscles and butt
muscles that much more making you kind
of increase your posture really hold
your balance and of course you know
great colors we’ve also got it in black
and in white people will often give up
their whole workout routine because
they’re looking at the scale and they’re
not seeing the numbers drop I usually
advise against only going by
scale go by how your clothes feel how
you feel in your pants you know
sometimes if they’re loosening up
meanwhile the numbers on the scale
haven’t moved it’s probably an
indication that you put on a little bit
of muscle mass and you know decreased
your fat mass which is always a good
thing another way of measuring your
results without stepping on the scale is
maybe asking a trainer to do a skinful
test so basically they’ll take calipers
and the measure your skin fold I know
lots of fun maybe a little less of an
invasive method which you can even do at
home is to take a measuring tape and
just measure off your chest your hips
and your waist and then that’s another
way of tracking your results over and
above just hopping on that scale and for
those of you who are looking for those
six-pack abs I unfortunately don’t have
a magic formula for you basically it’s a
whole combination of watching what you
eat doing some cardiovascular activities
on a regular basis also engaging in
resistance training so those three
factors are going to really help
optimize your results so don’t leave
anything out make sure to do all three
proper nutrition cardio resistance
training and you’ll be well on your way
to your results
