What to Eat to Help Gain Muscle Mass

By matthew lein|2017-04-03T14:28:49+00:00April 3rd, 2017|Nutrition|Comments Off on What to Eat to Help Gain Muscle Mass

Now that you have made the decision to embark on your fitness and health journey with personal training, you not only need an exercise regimen to follow, but you also need to change how you eat if you want to help gain muscle mass. While I am not a licensed nutritionist, I do have years of fitness training that has involved developing a diet that has helped me and numerous clients gain muscle mass by feeding their body the right food for weight training. Here are some great tips related to what you can eat to help build muscle mass: Lean beef should be central to your diet because it is packed with protein as well as iron, zinc, and B-vitamins. The amino acids within the lean beef help to promote muscle growth in combination with insulin. Just consume it in small portions of no more than six ounces at a time to help fuel muscle growth. Boneless and skinless chicken is another good muscle food. It is packed with protein that helps maintain and repair muscles while also providing benefits for weight and bones. It’s a versatile food that you can enjoy many different ways so you don’t get [...]

Personal Training just One of the Ways To Add More Exercise to Your Life

By matthew lein|2017-03-22T19:13:40+00:00March 22nd, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on Personal Training just One of the Ways To Add More Exercise to Your Life

Our society has become sedentary thanks to technology, desk jobs, and long commutes to and from work. That means all of us could move more and get more exercise in to become more active and keep those pounds off. There are many ways that you can add more exercise to your life even though you already feel overwhelmed by all that you do: Prioritize your health as part of a move more mindset. Everyone puts this at the bottom of their list when, in reality, it should be first because, without your health, you won’t be able to do everything else. You may find yourself with illnesses or health problems that stop all those other things you put first. This mindset will help you to mentally always make time for exercise. Use your lunch and coffee breaks at work to get in a quick walk and run up and down those stairs (if you have them). The misconception is that you need to find an hour each day when, in reality, you could just break down that exercise time into available increments. Turn off the television and other electronics at least two times a week (even more is better!) and [...]

Escape Your Sedentary Lifestyle with Personal Training and Get Your Health Back!

By matthew lein|2017-03-03T22:50:11+00:00March 3rd, 2017|Fitness Trainer|Comments Off on Escape Your Sedentary Lifestyle with Personal Training and Get Your Health Back!

A sedentary life can basically send you to an early grave, according to statistics gathered by the NCHPAD. Here are some of the startling reasons you need to get up from that desk job, that commute, and that sofa and start moving with regular exercise and assistance from a personal trainer: Physically inactive people have an increased risk of colon and breast cancer. Regular physical activity helps reduce the risk of cognitive decline. People who are sedentary have the highest rate of having a heart attack. Data from the Aerobics Research Center in Dallas, Texas found that physically active men lowered their risk of stroke by two-thirds while a Nurses' Health Study concluded that physically active women decreased their risk of stroke by 50%. Lack of physical activity increases the loss of lean muscle tissue and speeds up bone loss. People who don't regularly exercise are more likely to gain excess weight. One study showed that an hour of walking daily cut the risk of obesity by 24%. Those who get regular physical activity have a more efficient immune system, which helps protect them further from the risk of various disease and illnesses like colds and the flu. This list [...]

The Mental and Emotional Effects of Exercise: How Personal Training Improves Mood, Builds Confidence, and Brightens Your Outlook on Life

By matthew lein|2017-02-23T03:07:19+00:00February 23rd, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on The Mental and Emotional Effects of Exercise: How Personal Training Improves Mood, Builds Confidence, and Brightens Your Outlook on Life

Your New Year’s resolution might have been all about losing weight, but did you know that there are numerous other benefits to signing up with a personal trainer and sweating it out with a rigorous exercise program? Other benefits tend to be emotional and mental, which prove to be just as important to your overall health and wellbeing than dropping those pounds and firming up your physical shape. The American Psychological Association even published results that illustrate the positive effect that regular exercise has on the brain and body. Everything in your body works together so when you start moving more and sweating, your body’s hormonal balance changes in response. Everything in your body works together so when you start moving more and sweating, your body’s hormonal balance changes in response. This puts your brain and mental state in a different place, often providing a sense of euphoria after exercise. Some people even feel invincible and have told me they could take on the world now. Others tell me they feel so much more relaxed and ready to face work again. Research studies show rapid decreases in anxiety, stress, and depression among those who participated in a study and exercised [...]

Add Personal Training to Action List for New Year’s Resolutions

By matthew lein|2016-12-28T00:02:22+00:00December 28th, 2016|Roswell Personal Trainers|Comments Off on Add Personal Training to Action List for New Year’s Resolutions

While everyone tends to make some type of New Year’s resolution with weight loss and fitness being a common goal, not everyone sticks to it. That might be because they don’t make an action list that provides a plan for how they will address each New Year’s resolution to make sure they fulfill it rather than just give up after a week or two. In making an action list for weight loss and fitness, it makes sense to have gym or fitness center on there. However, taking it one step further to make sure you actually do get there is to make hiring a personal trainer as an action item. In fact, it’s a good idea to head down to the gym immediately and sign up for at least one or more sessions with a personal trainer. This is because you will then be committed to keep coming back because there is someone there that you are obligated to meet and keep your appointment. From there, they can give you a longer term plan for reaching your fitness goals that you can see as a real effective way to stick with it. Having this set schedule, list of exercises and [...]

Get a Head Start on New Year’s Resolutions with Personal Training in December

By matthew lein|2016-12-05T00:43:36+00:00December 5th, 2016|Roswell Fitness Training|Comments Off on Get a Head Start on New Year’s Resolutions with Personal Training in December

Typically, people wait until after the holidays to sign up for personal training as part of their New Year’s resolutions, but it makes more sense to get signed up well before 2017 hits. Here’s why: Starting with personal training now means you can start forming habits around exercise and better food choices well before your resolutions so that the behaviors stick. There is a school of thought that says it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so starting in December with personal training means you will be more likely to keep up with your fitness goals into the New Year. Jumping into personal training can help alleviate a lot of that holiday stress that comes with extra tasks and increased expectations from those around you. This is a good place to come work off some of that stress to provide you with a much calmer holiday season. Picking December is a good time because you are more than likely to have some vacation time you are taking, so you will not have an excuse not to get down to the gym for your personal training sessions. You can also have family and friends join you so you have [...]

Knowing When to Personal Train and When to Go Solo

By matthew lein|2016-11-20T15:38:50+00:00November 20th, 2016|Fitness Trainer|Comments Off on Knowing When to Personal Train and When to Go Solo

Every week, you hit the gym to get in the best shape possible and hit new fitness goals. You realized long ago that a personal trainer has been a game changer when you hit those plateaus or are just simply lost on where to start. Now that you are in the fitness game, you may wonder what the best formula is for a weekly combination of solo workout routines and those overseen by a personal trainer. Well, there are different schools of thought about the frequency of personal training that all have merit: Training with a personal trainer once a week rarely yields significant results because most of the work is done on their own without a structured workout plan. While a personal trainer can provide feedback and offer suggestions that can be employed on a solo basis. One session may not be enough to really get in all the adjustments that need to be made to make new muscle memory that corrects the mistake made by going it alone the majority of the week. Training twice a week with a personal trainer is the most common recommendation. There is more time to review what is being done correctly and [...]

What to Expect from Your Personal Trainer

By matthew lein|2016-10-17T23:45:13+00:00October 17th, 2016|Personal Training|Comments Off on What to Expect from Your Personal Trainer

You hire a personal trainer because you expect that they will get you the results you have been looking for whether that is losing weight or body fat, toning up your body, or conditioning your body for a specialized sport. However, you play a big role in making that happen because you most likely don’t work with your trainer every time you go to the gym and they don’t follow you home to watch what you eat all day and night. There are some key things you can expect from your personal trainer that will help you focus and achieve your specific goals: Expertise and Knowledge A personal trainer can show you what you are doing right and what you need to fix when using various machines or exercise equipment. They have undergone rigorous training to understand how to correctly use different exercises so that you don’t get hurt and you maximize the results every time you use anything in the gym. Their knowledge often extends to nutrition, wellness, and even specific sports, if they are offering sports-specific training and conditioning. Encouragement and Support Many people struggle to get going or even stay motivated on their own when they are [...]

Working with a Personal Trainer Keeps You Motivated and Energized

By matthew lein|2016-09-26T16:54:50+00:00September 26th, 2016|Personal Trainer, Personal Training, Personal Training East Cobb, Roswell Personal Trainers|Comments Off on Working with a Personal Trainer Keeps You Motivated and Energized

Taking that personal fitness journey can be challenging and often discouraging when you go it alone. You may not be able to always find a workout pal to keep you going either. However, a personal trainer becomes your motivator, coach, confidante, mentor and more. They get you to your goals and keep you focused on that journey plus they can make it more fun along the way. Here are some statistics from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) that illustrate just how well personal trainers work to help you achieve your fitness goals: McClaran (2003) found that weekly sessions with a personal trainer significantly increased a client’s ability to move upward through the stages of change, vastly improving their physical activity. Mazzetti et al. (2000) found that training loads, peak power output, and fat-free mass were all increased among supervised (personally trained) participants compared to those who exercised alone. Researchers at Adelphi University compared in-home and at-the-gym personal training, finding that both were effective in terms of weight loss, cardiovascular function, adherence and motivation, with little differences between the two (Sykes et al., 2007). Hamilton et al. (2008) found that there are “numerous benefits to working with a qualified personal [...]

Cosmetic Training vs Functional Training

Which category do you fall in? Which style is better? First let me say that anyone who has the discipline to train gets our respect. Regardless of why you train, we believe that fitness training will improve your quality of life. We also believe that fitness training can and likely will improve your overall health and reduce your risk of injury or illness. It is our belief that those who choose to train are likely headed down the path that leads to an overall better life experience. All that said, lets delve into the the questions this article attempts to explore. Again, please keep in mind the article is not attempting to be judgemental, it is simply written in an effort to stir thinking, discussion and hopefully to sway your thinking as to the reasons you should train. What are you really trying to accomplish when you train? Is your goal to look good at the beach or perhaps you just want to potentially be more attractive to the opposite sex? Is your dream to be a famous body builder or figure model? Do you judge your progress by how defined your abs are, or by the size of your biceps and [...]
