"Fit-Ful" Fridays blog for 7/24/09
I saw this quote the other day and it really touched me:
"The only people you need to get even with are those who have helped you".
To everyone who has ever helped me,
Thank you.
I owe you :)
Peace and health!

Food For Thought
Sometimes people tell you, "you can't do that" because THEY "can't do that". Don't believe everything you're told.

Deck of Cards Game:
Ok---Here is a fun game to try. This was an idea of Jillian Michaels, from the Biggest Loser:
You have a deck of playing cards. Keep all cards in, but shuffle.
On a separate piece of paper, assign an exercise to each of the following:
- King
- Queen
- Jack
- Joker
- Spade
- Club
- Heart
- Diamond
Each time you pull a card, read the amount and the type, ie: 7 Hearts.
If you decided that Heart would be push ups, you do 7 push ups.
Make the King, Queen, Jack and Joker cards something challenging to you!
Those can each be exercises done for 30 secs or 60 secs. Up to you!
*When I play this game with my students, Ace is a 60 sec. rest.
You're welcome!
Peace and health!

"Fit-Ful" is a term created by Lesa which means, the union of fitness and beauty from within (FITness and beautiFUL). Working on fitness to incorporate improved health and self-esteem along with working on internal beauty by developing connections to self image, spirituality of life and society's connection. Beauty from within is much more important than external beauty. How we treat ourselves and others speaks deeper than what clothes we wear.
This is truly beautiful.
Peace and health!

It's how you feel
Ladies and gentleman,
When working out and eating healthy (remember, always BOTH) it's how you FEEL...not solely what the scale says. The scale is only going to tell you how much you weigh. It's not going to tell you what is muscle and what is fat. You can tell if your clothes fit differently, if you feel better in your own skin and notice the benefits to working out regularly and eating healthy.
Get a body fat percentage taken if you want to know your breakdown.
13-20% is considered Athletic (for men it is lower, 7-13)
21-29% is considered Average
Be aware of how much your muscle vs. fat ratio breaks down.
40-50% + is considered obese.
Clients can get body fat percentage reads at LMG Dance and Fitness.
Like G.I. Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle!"
