Fuel your body

Before you hit the gym, there are some things you should know...

Get happy with your hydration. Hydrating can dictate just how hard you can work out, if at all. If you’re not hydrated I promise you that your workout will be a horrible experience. Drinking water is a great way to replace the fluids lost throughout the day and from prior workouts. Water is the best, most efficient way to hydrate, but not the only way. There are other options such as green tea, which may give you extra pep if your feeling sluggish, perhaps coconut water which has cramp-preventing potassium, or maybe even chocolate milk to help your muscles recover after a run.

Along with hydrating, it’s important to fuel your body before working out. Just like an engine in a car, you need to fuel it for it to function, and keep its fluids high (hydrating).

Simple, low calorie foods, and low intake is suggested.  “Grab a banana before you hit the gym; it may actually help you slice off more calories in the long run”. Some low calorie and low intake food ideas are: Yogurt, a piece of fruit, peanut butter and crackers, or half an energy bar are all excellent choices.

Now your ready for your work out. Remember, hydrate and fuel for best results!

Revolution to waxing!

Sugaring hair removal available to you

 Are you tired of irritated skin, rashes, red blotches, and the annoying/ un-needed pain from hair waxing removal? Avoid those sticky ways by switching to sugaring hair removal, now available to you at your local Team Fitness.

I was personally skeptic at first, but after my first try at it, I will never go back to waxing again. It was quick, easy, and painless. 

This practice uses an all-natural paste made from food-derived ingredients such as sugar, water, and lemon juice.   

ALL ORGANIC

The results can last up to six weeks, and I promise they do. I usually get my eyebrow waxed every 2 weeks, but since my last sugaring, it’s been about 2 weeks and I’m still hairless! Only natural ingredients are used, and it benefits your skin more then waxing would by only pulling away dead skin near your unwanted hair, not ripping away the healthy skin as well.

Come into your local Team Fitness Salon and make an appointment for sugaring hair removal, you too will choose to never go back to plain ol’ waxing.

5 Exrcises to Protect your shoulder

5 Exercises to Protect Your Shoulder

When some one wants to workout out their shoulders they typically think of doing some deltoid, pec, and trap exercises.  While these major muscles are important, none are as important as the rotator cuff muscles.  Chances are you have heard of the rotator cuff but may not necessarily know what it is or its function.  The rotator cuff is made up of a series of smaller muscles and ligaments that stabilize the shoulder through the many different movements it can perform.  For example in order to reach behind your body to put on a coat or snap a bra, your shoulder lifts and rotates in the joint.  This is typically no problem for a strong rotator cuff but if the muscles become weak because of injury, inactivity, or improper technique even the basic daily activity can become difficult.  Here are some simple exercises you can do to strengthen your rotator cuff.  Perform each with a light weight and a tempo of 10 seconds each rep. 1 set of 50 for each.
