Foam Rolling / Self Myofascial Release / Self Massage all are done using a soon to be archaic apparatus (at least for those of us that own a Total Gym) called the foam roller. One day, I was rolling out next to my Total Gym when I came up with the idea. Both of these products are time honored effective fitness tools that seemed a natural fit to me.
The holidays are a busy time, but… it’s also an important time to stay on track with your own health goals. You can accomplish this by keeping stress levels low in order to focus on things that really matter for a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a good diet, staying active, and getting rest. As we move into the new year, set yourself up to feel invigorated with a healthier, happier you.
Gout is typically referred to by medical doctors as a form of arthritis where patients experience pain and inflammation in the joints, typically in the big toe, but can appear elsewhere in the body such as fingers, knees and hips. An unhealthy diet triggers gout attacks, especially those diets that are loaded with alcohol, high fructose corn syrup, and processed foods, and too much purine rich foods such as organs and red meats, shellfish, anchovies, for example. The Total Gym is a perfect piece of equipment if you have gout because you can work out your entire body using your own body weight in the comfort of your home. You can perform all exercises in a lying, seated, or kneeling position, without putting any pressure on your feet, which is typically where the inflammation resides.
t is the holiday season and I am sure those jeans are getting a little tighter around the waist. We try to not over eat, but it can be so hard this time of year. Then we will go into the New Year resolution phase and maybe start the quest of eating healthier and exercising. I am sure this all sounds familiar, right?Don’t wait until after the holidays to get started on your fitness journey. START NOW with my gift to you: this HOT ABS WORKOUT!
We all love parties but not necessarily the unhealthy food that goes along with them. So here are three healthy, fast, and tasty appetizers that are also handy to prepare days ahead of time or simple to pack up and take to someone else’s party. I hope that you enjoy and share these recipes with your friends and family!
It’s the perfect way to share something you love on equipment they may not have. The experience may be so fun that they want to make it a weekly workout party or even purchase their own Total Gym! So why not give your loved ones time to experience a workout with you rather than gifting them another gadget they will soon forget?
My name is Lisa Dyer. I’m a 51-year-old wife, mother, and teacher, living in Ashland, KY. As I entered my 40’s, that fast metabolism came to a screeching halt, and reality set in. I was no longer able to fit into my clothes, the scale was now hovering over a much higher number, and I was depressed and ashamed about how I had let myself get into this shape. I found a used Total Gym, and decided to put it in my bedroom where I would see it daily. I now look forward to going home in the evenings, not to watch TV, but to work out on my Total Gym.
It's that time of year where the holidays are upon us, the weather is cooler, and there is an increased amount of time spent with family and friends. However, this is also the time of the year where people unfortunately began to put their health & fitness on the backburner. With all of the traveling, Christmas shopping, and family gatherings occurring, people often feel justified in not making their health a priority and citing lack of time as the reason why they are committed to exercising or eating properly. As you may or may not know, November and December are notorious months for weight gain in the United States where a huge percentage of our population will increase their weight by 3 - 10 pounds.
I love tea as much as I love Total Gym! I actually dedicated a corner in my home to my love of tea. I found a whole world of happiness by trying out all the different types. I began my research into green tea after losing my father to cancer. I was looking for possible ways to prevent myself from the same fate as so many had passed away in my family. During my research I came across all the health benefits of green tea and specifically the wonders of matcha!
