Foods to Eat

2010-01-11T15:25:56Z

More than any sane person should, I ask myself every day, "What should I eat?"

This is a list of 1 things you should be eating that, most likely, you are not eating. Who ever says, "Yeah, I have to eat some more pumpkin seeks today?" Read this. Are you going to eat all of the food on this list? For 95% of us, probably not. But if you eat just one these, just one, you are going to be just a little bit healthier. In my mind, the easiest to throw on your list: pumpkin seeds. The are loaded with protein and fiber. A great way to get 2010 rolling!

Why Do I Love the Treadmill?

2009-12-07T18:08:46Z

Because I might get old one day. A Stanford researcher did a study in which he looked at 500 runners for 20 years. Among the findings of the study were that runners had fewer disabilities, remained active much longer and were half as likely to die early deaths.

Obviously, running as you get older comes with challenges. Sometimes, people in unbelievable shape are required to stop running because of the toll it can take on your legs (usually knees). Certainly, there are other forms of exercise that can be just as valuable. Running has such great appeal because it is is an easy way - if you can excuse the oxymoron - to exercise intensely. It is not as easy for most of us to get our heart rate as high on the bike or crosstrainer than it is on the treadmill.

Moral of the story: if you can run, RUN.

Interval Training: A New Study

2009-12-07T16:38:35Z

Check out this study: Eight people performed between four and six 30-second bursts of "all out" (no one defines an 'all out" burst) cycling separated by 4 minutes of recovery during each training session. The other eight subjects performed 90-120 minutes of continuous moderate-intensity cycling each day. Total training time commitment including recovery was 2.5 hours in the sprint group, whereas the endurance group performed 10.5 hours of total exercise over two weeks.

You can drive a mack truck through the difference in time. But both groups showed largely similar improvements in both performance and muscle parameters associated with exercise.

The conclusion of all of this is stunning: you can get more done in 1/4 the time by doing interval training. Of course, I would like a better definition "moderate intensity" too. I wish we knew the relative heart rates of the subjects. Still, an interesting study. Because when you walk into a gym and look at the cardio equipment, few people are doing interval training.

Exercise Keeps You Young

2009-12-01T20:18:37Z

Chance are if you are reading this you appreciate that exercise is efficacious. But can it help you maintain your youth and, if so, to what extent? This study underscores what most fitness professional have been saying for 20 years: exercise makes you younger.

This study compared subjects who did not exercise to elite runners. As it turns out, the differences are reflected in the cells. Cells for the runners looked much younger under a microscope.Specifically, researchers analyzed the length of cells. When a cell divides, it gets smaller. When they get too small, they divide and die.

The cells of runners are long and more in tact. Next time you are working out hard, motivate yourself by thinking of how your cells are staying long.

Keeping Healthy Employees

2009-11-16T20:07:15Z

Business Week writes an article on how we can decrease health care costs in this country.

I disagree with much of the article. But there is one thing we all can agree upon: healthy employees make better employees and investments in wellness and physical health pay dividends.

Employee Wellness Programs

2009-11-16T19:13:41Z

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that employers are not holding back on investing in health and wellness plans for its employees.

Why is health and wellness for employees apparently recession proof? Did you renew your health insurance this year? Most companies - including Club One Fitness as of last month are spending more and more (and more) on health related costs. Employers are starting to look at the big picture and invest more in the health of their employees.

At Club One, we are in a huge office complex right off of Route 97 on Benfield Road. Let's be honest: the recession has not been good to us. But more and more companies are getting their employees and paying for or subsidizing their health club memberships. This is a great development for us and a great development for keeping employee costs down by having healthier employees.
