Why do we have BRAINS?
We have brains to move!
We move to get food, find a place to sleep and reproduce, that about sums it up. I was lucky enough to study Kinesiology and biomechanics in college and I apply those principles in personal training everyday.
This video is 20 mins and gets crazy in the middle with stats and graphs, but you will get the point in the first 5 mins

Friday Night Shots: Calories in Drinks
Image via Wikipedia
Excerpt from WebMD:
What Makes Calories in Alcoholic Drinks Add Up?
The number of calories in mixed drinks depends on several things, including the amount and proof of the alcohol; the mixers; and the size of the drink.
“It’s the mixers, syrups, and sodas that really get people into calorie trouble, because most drinks start with 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits that only have around 96 calories, but mixologists can easily turn that into a drink with hundreds of calories,” says Carolyn O’Neil, MS, RD, co-author of The Dish on Eating Healthy and Being Fabulous.
Whether you’re drinking a beer or a cosmo, the higher the alcohol content, the higher the calories, says O’Neil. For example:
- 80-proof vodka (40% alcohol; the most common type) has 64 calories per 1oz
- 86-proof vodka (43% alcohol) has 70 calories/1 oz
- 90-proof vodka (45% alcohol) has 73 calories/1 oz
- 100-proof vodka (50% alcohol) has 82 calories/1 oz

Know Your Body Type: Measure and Re-Measure
Holiday season is here and people’s focus will shift back to how overweight they are what they’re going to do about it. When you go to the office parties and family dinners you will see and hear everyone’s excuse for their poor physical health.
If you are currently working out alone then now is the time you want to have your body measured. Take the time to measure hips, thighs, abs, chest and arms and if you can have a Fit Coach assess your body fat composition. Knowing what body type you have (endomorph, ectmorph, mesomorph) and how your body fat and muscle mass is distributed is the key to formulating a workout routine that will yield RESULTS
Measuring is the time when you can critique how your training program is fairing. You don’t know where you are going if you don’t know where you been. You have to obtain measuring points so you can compare. Comparisons will help you determine the course of action for the next 4-6wks. Adjustments will have to be made to nutrition intake and workout regime in order for the body to respond and adapt the positive changes you working towards.
If you have never measured or want to be re-measured schedule a time with me Monday – Friday a.m. or p.m.
Get measured – Get results
When you go to your Christmas party, they will have lots of questions for you!!

Fear of Self – For Fear Itself
Browsing the internet and found this quote from Harry S. Truman. This is how I feel about the medical & fitness industry. My only hope is that people come to understand the importance of self-awareness and where their place is among the grand scheme of things.
“I never give them [the public] hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it is hell.” Harry S. Truman
