What Transpires During a Panic Attack
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness Articles on February 1st, 2010
In layman terms, there is this independent region of the nervous system responsible for the rise and fall of our nervous feeling. This rise in feeling is responsible in preparing our body to face or to flee the danger. The fall in feeling or subsiding feeling works to restore balance and equilibrium, bringing our body back to its normal state.
Let us use our example earlier about graduating top in class. Before the valedictory speech, the rising feel goes to work. After the speech, the subsiding feel is responsible for the body's equilibrium. The rising feel is the controversial section of the nervous system which starts the anxiety (or possibly panic attack), while the subsiding feel is the one that brings our body to its original comfortable state.
You might ask: "Exactly what part of our body is activated during a panic attack?" In medical terms, just above the kidney are the adrenal glands that release adrenaline (a hormone) when we are in a state of anxiety. The adrenaline…

Bed and Breakfast
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness Articles on February 1st, 2010
You've heard of stowaways on ships, but how about the ones that may be hiding deep within your luggage? Travelers should be alert to the risk posed by bed bugs, a stealthy insect that's as much at home in a suitcase as in a mattress.
The accursed Cimex lectularius will not only avail itself of your blood while on holiday, it's likely to accompany you home and propagate, producing thousands of hungry progeny.
Difficult to detect, these reddish-brown, oval-shaped insects live exclusively on blood and feed primarily at night, emerging from the many folds and crevices of mattresses, box springs and headboards to hunt for exposed flesh.
Bed bugs are back with a vengeance, infiltrating homes and hotels at an alarming rate, particularly in Australia, which faces a serious threat from these seemingly indestructible creatures.
"The bed bug situation here continues to get much worse, both in terms of the number of infestations and type," says Stephen L. Doggett, an entomologist…

Marriage and Financial Stress in a Recession
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness Articles on February 1st, 2010
Given the current economic climate of instability, rising unemployment rates, and lay-offs, it is important for spouses to understand and address financial challenges before debt consumes their relationship.
Unlike the Great Depression of the early 1930's and the 1990's recession, the majority of Canada's current household debt has been created by families reaching for credit to finance day-to-day living expenses. According to a 2009 report from the Ottawa-based Vanier Institute of the Family, many Canadian households carry debt loads in the "danger zone." Further, the accessibility of excessive amounts of credit is allowing couples to finance items, such as plasma televisions and new cars, rather than deferring purchases until they have saved enough money to buy them outright. While new purchases can evoke feelings of excitement and happiness, purchasing on credit does have a price and often a costly one.
While some couples are able to work through money problems …

A Bodybuilder's Diet
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness Articles on February 1st, 2010
A bodybuilder's diet seems very much like any other healthy diet, except that carbohydrates are considerably lesser. A healthy balance of meats, fats, vegetables, fruits, and carbohydrates is still necessary.
Some trainers urge their trainees to eat more vegetables than meat, and consume minimal amount of dairy products like cheese. Meat here means more chicken and fish, and less pork and beef.
It is always best to consult a nutritionist who is also knowledgeable in weight lifting or at least one who is into sports. Chances are that they would advice you to maintain a balanced diet. A healthy body is definitely a "must-have" when you're into bodybuilding. To have a healthy body, you need to eat healthy.
UNHEALTHY DIET BELIEFS IN MUSCLE BUILDING
1. Eat plenty of proteins.
Protein is needed for muscle development; but proteins, and any nutrient for that matter, must be eaten in a balanced manner. The rule of thumb is that any food has to be taken in moderation. T…

Why Do We Develop Our Muscles?
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness Articles on February 1st, 2010
1. Health
As you continue to enjoy the macho image, confidence, and fashion, you may eventually realize the healthy feeling that bodybuilding gives you. You feel less tired and stressed out after office hours than most of your officemates. You seldom get the common cold and flu than the rest. You face every challenge with vigor and gusto, and never seem to run out of energy. As you enjoy all of these, you realize the health benefits of pumping iron, not to mention the youthful look that does not seem to fade even with age. Bodybuilders are known to have their skins stretched out tight and wrinkle-free – no sagging, flabby fat hanging anywhere. Soon, you do bodybuilding more out of health concerns rather than for trivial reasons. As you go through life and see how the ailing and bedridden suffer terribly due to failing health, you hang on to great physical condition as you keep up with your muscle sculpturing.
2. Discipline
Many bodybuilders get past the muscle sculpturing ma…

Thornhill Run Club a big success
Posted by snapfitnessej in From Our Leader on November 10th, 2009
Run club is up and "running". We had our inaugural run on November 8, 2009 at Snap Fitness Thornhill. Three people left the gym at 8:35 am. On a beautiful fall day in full sunshine, we set out on the path west of Don Mills road. Two people did a 6 km route and one person did a 10 km route. A Thornhill personal trainer, met the runners half way into their run to monitor their progress. Thornhill fitness has become a habit for many in the community and the Thornhill run club adds another component to the weight training and other cardio options at the gym.
Next week we hope to add more runners to our club and I'm sure it will grow over time.
Thornhill Fitness run club, 2300 John St. Thornhill meets at 8:30 every Sunday morning.
Choosing a Personal Trainer in Thornhill
Posted by admin in Personal Trainers Thornhill on October 23rd, 2009
How to Pick a Good Personal Trainer
| One of the major benefits of any Structured Fitness Program is that you can lose weight and meet your fitness and weight loss goals even if you have neither the time nor money to get a personal trainer in Thornhill.
At the same time, if you do ultimately decide to hire a Thornhill personal trainer at some point, I want to make sure that you are going about it in a way that will bring you the absolute maximum benefit. I wouldn't be a good fitness coach if I did anything less. |
 |
There's no doubt that getting a good personal trainer inThornhill has many benefits, including but not limited to:
Speeding up the fitness learning curve
Great source of motivation
Getting increased fat loss and fitness results
Having a training partner to hold you accountable
At the same time, it is a HUGE mistake to simply rely on any old trainer to help you to consistently get the results that you desire. I can't tell you how many people pay tons of money for expensive personal trainers and get little to no results after months and months of working with these personal trainers.
To keep as many people as possible from this horrific fate, I've put together a little check list to help you in choosing a personal trainer in Thornhill or any where else that is worth your money, time, and efforts.
All Personal Trainers are not created equal, so you do the picking
There are a lot of Thornhill gyms and Thornhill Fitness clubs who will literally assign you a Personal fitness trainer when you sign up for the 1 on 1 option. Don't fall for this. With the time, effort, and discipline that it takes to get great results for your body—even with a personal trainer—you want to make sure that you are getting someone that you are going to be both happy and comfortable with.
You will want to meet several of the fitness club trainers, and may even want to ask a couple of them for a trial session to get a feel for their coaching style, depth of knowledge, and motivational skills. It also would not be a bad idea to talk to some of the members of the gym who are already in great shape and ask them which Personal trainer or Personal trainers they think knows what he or she is doing. You'll be surprised at the quality of information that you will get.
Don't Listen to a Personal trainer who does not look the part.
I literally gasp for air everytime I walk into a gym and see a personal trainer with a personal training client and noticing that the trainer is in no better—if not worse shape than the person who is paying them to improve their health and physique.
I mean really, do the math on this one. How can someone who has not achieved what you want to accomplish possibly help you how to get there? ( There is of course some exceptions)
You wouldn't take investment advice from someone who was broke; you wouldn't pay for piano lessons from somoene who's tone deaf; and you certainly wouldn't ask for tutoring from the class dunce and then pay him to do it. So why in the world would you pay someone to help you have the body you want who has not already accomplished it for themselves?
One Size Does Not Fit All
Just like you tend to wear clothes that compliment your particular body composition, there are numerous aspects of working out and dieting that will cater to making the best out of your very unique body type and its characteristics.
Make sure that whatever personal trainer you use – is not only knowledgeable of this fact but makes it a part of your program to evaluate specifically what should be done to best enhance your body type.
Expect the Unmagical
Rome was not built in a day, and neither will your best physique. It is not what you do in spurts, but what you do consistently or a long period of time that determines what your body will look like and how well it will function.
Hiring a personal trainer may slightly accelerate your results, and will most definitely get you there safely and without boredom. Nevertheless, a personal trainer is not the end-all to your development.
Think of your personal trainer trainer as a guide and a coach—not the silver bullet to Your Best Body in 30 days or less. Just know that as long as you are consistent, your results will gradually take care of themselves.
Be a Good Student
Once you've picked a good Thornhill personal trainer who you feel comfortable with and confident in, LISTEN to them! Make sure to really take advantage of not only the precious time that you have with them during your workouts but also adhere to their wealth of knowledge regarding your health and fitness that you can apply to your life outside of the gym.
Much of the information and techniques that you learn from a good personal trainer can serve you well for much of your life as you constantly improve your overall health and well being.
Whether you are a fitness newbie, or a seasoned exercise buff looking to take your workout program to the next level, a well selected personal trainer can be a HUGE benefit to the attainment of your fitness goals. Just make sure that you are shrewd in your selection of them and that you sponge all of the good information that you can for yourself. If you truly take on the task of doing it right, I assure you that you won't regret it.
