Trying to find the time to workout when you have kids can be quite challenging at times.  Trying to find a babysitter or a gym that has a play are the kids like can be challenging at times, but have you tried working out with your kids before?  No, I mean really working out with your kids.  Small children can actually be used as resistance as you do a workout.  Maren Sederquist, a Medical Exercise Specialist in California, developed a program that uses your kids to workout with.  And while, this will only work when the kids are young, for a busy mom, it might be just what you need.  Here’s a video Serderquist developed that demonstrates how to exercise with your kids.

Diabetes is a very real thing that a lot of people in the Katy area are dealing with.  If left untreated, Diabates can lead to more health problems, potentially amputation, and eventually premature death.  Diabetes is preventable with proper diet and exercise in most cases.  However, if you feel that you might have diabetes, please visit with your physician.  Half of the people who have diabetes don’t even know it.  Avoiding finding out the answer if you have it or not, is not the solution.  You must treat your diabetes if you want to keep healthy.  Don’t wait until it’s too late.  Get checked today.  Below is a short video about how diabetes works in the body.

This week’s personal trainer fitness tip is about working the triceps.  Many people have a hard time getting toned arms.  In this video, I am going to demonstrate how to properly do a tricep pressdown on a machine and a tricep kickback with a dumbbell.  I plan to give more personal training fitness tips in the near future.  Let me know what you think about this video after watching it.

I use 3 different ratios when I talk about interval training:
3:1 = 90 seconds fast, 30 seconds slow
2:1 = 60 seconds fast, 30 seconds slow
1:1 = 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds slow
