Winter Snow Storm…!!
Posted by toast2fitness on December 19, 2009
As we approach winter season there are key safety aspects that we must take in order to have safe holidays.
- Bundle up. (Make sure all extremities, head, hands, legs are covered) *I had gloves on when originally shoveling.
- When shoveling snow, be sure to lift with your legs and NOT with your back. Do not bend over to lift, always squat. Bending over is dangerous and puts massive strain on your back.
- Wear appropriate boots. (Helps prevent frostbite and improves walking traction)
- Take adequate rests as to not put too much stress on your entire body (when shoveling)
- Drive only if required! and if your tires are up to code and fueled up. Nothing is worst than getting stuck in the snow without gas Read the rest of this entry »

Winter Blues Workout!
Posted by toast2fitness on December 8, 2009
Winter is a time that people usually stay indoors with a cup of cocoa, bundled up and relaxing. Why not? It’s cold outside, roads are dangerous, you don’t want to risk catching a cold or (swine) flu. This is also a time that people gain the most weight through various means. First there are a multitude of holidays all in concession with each other in which food is abundantly given to patrons, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and ending with New Years. Also due to the fact that it is winter and there is less sunlight during the days, our bodies enter hibernation mode in which caloric burning is slowed in order for us to have fat for insulation. For those that want “summer body” you don’t want wait after winter before you start your summer workout, it doesn’t make sense right? Here are 3 things you can do to prevent winter weight gain!:
- Focus on your goal! whether it is to lose weight for the new year, get a nice summer body, or just overall health.
- Scale back on calorie intake at the numerous gatherings you might attend. Instead of two pieces of pie get one. (the first bite tastes the same as the last bite so why eat two?) I eat a little piece of desserts at events just for taste because it satisfies my minds curiosity and need for something sweet while limiting the amount of calories I ingested.
- Get ACTIVE, go for a walk after a meal, do at home workouts, or go to your gym at least 3 times a week.
*Even if you don’t lose any weight during the winter months at least you won’t gain any either if you follow these guidelines. (You definitely don’t want to be excessive as the picture above, it is dangerous to your health) Read the rest of this entry »
