 I wanted to comment a little the new fitness tool called the Vibram Five Finger "shoe." I have been testing it and have even worn it in a 5k obstacle course. It proves to be a very useful product. 

Last year I started my Zumba experience with Zumba Gold.  Helping clients have fun in their workouts has always been my passion.  The basic rhythms and dance moves in Zumba Gold allowed me to reconnect with my teaching style while overseas.  In my classes I used music from different parts of the world and taught them mostly with visual cuing.

Dear Fitness Readers,I recently placed two clients on my NutraPlans wich consist of 6 meals a day, and utilizing Amino Acids to gain weight loss sucess. My first client has dropped 10lbs in under a week and the other is well on his way to ripping up a six pack in time for the fireworks!

 

We all have those days. We wake up and feel as though we've been hit by a truck. Is it the flu? Maybe a terrible cold? Nope. We overdid just a bit! No worries. Here are a few things you can do about the pain :)1. Drink water. If you're lifting heavy or training for endurance then you really need to be aiming for 1 gallon a day. Yes, that's why the body builders all carry that jug around! Don't worry about having to run to the bathroom more, your muscles and joints will be using that water. If you're not that intense in your training, get 2-3 liters per day.

SO many people have asked me about this subject so I have decided to respond here.  Yes!  What you are eating most definitely plays a huge role in your weight loss and weight management efforts.  Over the years I have worked in employee wellness programs as a fitness instructor alongside weight control/nutrition programs.  I believe that adopting a healthy eating program is great, however I do not believe that you can measure your progress by the scale.
