Really?!......Yes, that is what has been proven. U.S Researchers have found that losing and gaining weight was better for heavy people not shedding excess fat at all.
Apparently previous research suggested that consistantly dropping and regaining weight could be harmful to your health but get this!.....Scientists from Ohio University found that fluctuating body mass was better than remaining the same....who knew?
Ok, Ok, Relax everyone.... Just because Oprah yo-yo'd more times then president Obama used the word "change"doesn't mean these scientists or I, am advocating this. So before you start planning a "one carrot and a diet coke a day" meal plan.....lets remember what the study is saying. It is more important to be conscious of what you are eating and how you are exercising than not at all.
The reason we Yo-Yo? Well, if youve been reading you will remeber that 8-10 lbs a month is a healthy loss so if you are losing 8-10 a week! You are an idiot! and you must be HUNGRY!! So by the time you run out and buy those new jeans....you've already gained that weight back because you went tearing through your pantry like a racoon in a dumpster! Stop it!
Talk to your trainer. Set up a meal plan and as always....send me your questions and thoughts. Have a Happy Healthy Life

You are only Burning 300 Calories!
Good Morning Gym rats and...well....those that are trying to be.
I have something that I would like to share because I think it applies to a lot of us who finish a long day of work and think its a good idea to workout.
The average person burns about 300 to 400 calories when they spend about an hour at the gym....yes! Thats it! "No Way Kelly"! YES! This is due to the fact that a lot of people are tired and not sure where they are going or what they want or need to focus on for the day. Or, they like to use the gym as their own Match.com
For example, there is a woman at the gym I work at....don't know her. She comes in every evening goes to the calve machine and sits there for about 15 to 20 min than she goes to the bike and does a slow stroll....like shes on the Venice boardwalk checking out the dudes. Anyway, I know she wants to get, or stay in good shape because she makes it to the gym. However, shes not getting any benefit from it because she either doesn't know what shes doing OR she just wants to check out the talent....
I say, "Combine the two"!! If you want to go to the gym to see and be seen, at least invest in the knowledge of a trainer to show you what exercises would fit you best. A trainer, like me, could put you on the stairmaster for 20 min of intervals all while scoping the scene. Plus, do you know how good your butt will look after consistent work on the stairmaster? The hottest thing is someone in the gym who is sweating, working hard and appears to care about their health. As a trainer I see my clients get the most attention because they are getting an amazing workout. People want to be around people who are motivated and driven.....Not the people who only break a sweat walking the gym holding a water bottle flashing a smile.
Please.....do youurself a favor and make use of the gym. Im all for the potential of picking up a phone number but at least give yourself the opportunity to better your health while you are doing it. Have a Great Day! Stay Healthy

How to Lose Weight....Fast?
Happy Thursday Gym Rats!
Do you want to slim down fast for a vacation? A hot date? or like me, a HS reunion?
Okay, Okay I know you are thinking "Its a lifestyle, not a diet right Kelly"? Of course! However, how to get there is a different story. Losing weight too fast can be dangerous and ineffective. Fad diets and pills never work and starving yourself just slows your metabolism to a hibernating bear and can lead to muscle loss. Wow! Gee Kelly....what else is there?
Here are some Steps that you will find easier, effective and use in the long haul.
Step 1:
Have confidence in yourself. Know that you can do anything you set your mind to and staying disiplined is a day by day process. You WILL struggle and make mistakes but you are human and you CAN do it
Step 2:
Set achievable goals. If you tell yourself you are planning on losing 20lbs in a month, you are crazy. If you think you can eat "whatever you want" and lose weight you are also dillusional. The amount of weight you want to lose and the amount of time to lose it must be decided beforehand and that is when your trainer comes in. We want you to succeed and we know you can. We are here for you.
Step 3:
Determine your calorie intake. Losing weight is simply, as I say it "eat less, move more" I know you say "oh, well, SO easy, now I get it. Thanks Kelly".....haha. I know its not that easy but start by writing down all the things you consume in a day. There are lot of great websites to calculate calories and look to see an accurate amount of what you are taking in. You will be surprised! Multiply your ideal weight by 10 and that will give you a rough estimate of the calories you need to maintain a healthy weight. If you are looking to lose than subtract that by 500-800 calories a day.
Step 4:
Exercise!! Yes, you know me well enough to know that was coming. The best way is to start small. Hire a trainer to get a program suitable for you. It is proven that people who follow a trainer are almost 50% more likely to reach their goal because we hold you accountable for YOUR actions. If you are in a pinch. Go to a fit camp. I hold fit camps in the morning and afternoon. Its a great group exercise and a cheap way to start. Contact Kelly for more information

Step 5:
Rest. The most important thing for your body is to rest. This means only 24 -48 hours between strength training the same muscles and taking 1-2 days off from exercising each week.
Stay Fit. Stay Focused.

Without Labor Nothing Prospers
Good Afternoon to all those who strive for a better YOU!
In the spirit of Labor Day....and the end of summer I want to leave you with some words to think about.
We often overlook the fact that a good diet and health depend on the labor of it. Working hard physically is a key component to fitness but there is also hard work mentally and emotionally. Nothing in life that is worth it ever comes easy and so today, as summer comes to a close, think about where you are in your fitness program.
If you are just beginning, make a game plan. Write down what you need to do and what you expect from your hard work. Talk to a trainer (yours truly) and see what it takes to make it to your goal. If you have been working at it for a while, write down what you have accomplished and make sure to keep your trainer (yours truly) informed of any obstacles you are facing. If you are a seasoned gym rat, KEEP AT IT! Remember, its a lifestyle! Stay on top of your diet and frequency in the gym. Keep in mind, a trainer is the best way to get the results you want and deserve!

The Power of NO
Good Day!
I hope everyone is enjoying their week and enjoying the first day of Sep. There are several things that my clients often complain about....but the ONE thing that seems to often come up is, saying NO! Saying NO to that piece of cake at your office party. Saying NO to the extra beer (or that tequila shot) at the bar but most of all, saying NO to excuses.
Summer is coming to a close and the kids are going back to school and the long days will soon be ov,er which usually means that people get back to their routine of the gym. Dieting is NOT what Im suggesting. Just saying NO to the latte and saying YES to the lunchtime walk is the best way to keep on track and motivated. My mantra is "eat less, move more"! Such a simple concept right? Well....NO excuses! I want all you aspiring fitness freaks to start the fall with a new routine.
Take 30 min today to walk, run, jump in place at your desk (yes, you will get some looks but no one is gonna be laughing when you show up to the Christmas party looking Phenominal!) Small meals and long walks....oh and a kick in the ass from your trainer Kelly
See you in the gym!
Dedicated to my friend Renee....who never gives up on her friends XXOO
