Take a cruise, stay active and don't pack on the pounds. It's possible.

Scary Fact: On average travelers gain 1 to 2 pounds per DAY on cruise vacations.  It's not a huge surprise considering that the most often cited reason for taking a cruise is that everything is included.  People want (and get) their money's worth

Why would a healthy person want to go on a cruise?

What do Michelle Obama and the Chicago Bulls have in common? Chicago? Well there is that...

What do business travelers want most?

Yesterday's USA Today claims it's FREE internet access?

Our experience as business travelers and serving business travelers points to two other top priorities for road warriors when selecting a hotel.

1. A good workout option
2. A good night's sleep

A majority of business travelers exercise when traveling (Expedia 2008 Study), and nearly two-thirds of travelers favor a hotel with a good gym.

Friendly AMT reminder, exercise to stay young. And, it is a lot cheaper than plastic surgery!

Just in case you needed to hear/read it once again...skip the facelift, lipo, tummy tuck, and any other extreme "outer" measures and instead stay young and healthy from the inside!

Reported all over the web today is the University of Toronto's review of 69 different studies demonstrating that adults who moderately exercise for an hour most days from middle age into old age (80s and 90s) had hearts and lungs AS HEALTHY AS THOSE LESS ACTIVE FOLKS 12 YEARS YOUNGER! Other benefits were also cited and the evidence is crystal clear.

The Inauguration of YOU. Refine and achieve ANY resolution.

I'm barely into the second week of 2009, and my New Year's resolutions are already as dusty as the 2008 calendar still hanging on the wall. What's the problem? As a personal trainer, I should have this resolution thing down by now!

THE PROBLEM DEFINED

No Time To Workout? Not On My Watch! Interval and Circuit Training to the Rescue.

If you are like me, getting in a good workout is like lubricating a joint or oiling a hinge: it's necessary and it makes everything else around it work that much better. 

Brush my teeth? Check.

Work out? Check!

Practice Yoga Anywhere. And We Mean Anywhere.

Adding to our Athletic-Minded Team means more YOGA options

Early this summer we added a new team member, Becka Christian, a certified yoga teacher and practitioner. She has been significantly expanding our yoga studio content. Her objective over the next couple of months is to provide a yoga option in every city we cover. Hooray!
