Let me tell you there is so much more training then just the machines you see in a gym.<br />
Even if you workout everyday, if you aren’t a health and fitness professional and exercising is not your main activity, you will not be in touch with new and different types of exercise.<br />
When your body finds a routine, it stops progressing, so having a personal trainer will definitely help you to always keep yourself updated with new workouts and exercises<br />
One of the new and exciting instruments found in select gyms is the TRX Suspension Training. The best the thing about the TRX is that it can be performed anywhere, anytime, by anybody. The TRX provides the ideal mix of support and mobility to train for strength, flexibility power and core stability.There are hundreds of moves that can be performed on the TRX, and it will hit every muscle in your body. You are guaranteed results!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">1. <strong>Reading the Labels</strong></span><br />
To lose weight it is essential to pay attention to food labels. Counting calories is impossible without this skill. You should know how to find a food&#8217;s caloric content and its serving size. Comparing labels among different foods and beverages is crucial for making the healthier choices required to lose weight.<br />
<a href="http://www.fitnessjudge.com/?p=1121#more-1121"><img src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn109/fitnessjudge/lost-weight.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><span id="more-1121"></span><br />
<!--more--><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">2. </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Smart Snack</span><br />
</strong>You can help prevent overeating and maintain blood sugar levels by eating something about every three hours. Getting too hungry will backfire on your efforts to eat healthy and practice portion control. Aim for a healthful, satisfying snack, such as an apple and some reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Eating more may seem counterintuitive, but smart snacking will help you lose weight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">3. <strong>More Grains and Produce</strong><br />
</span>Whole grains and fruits and veggies do more than provide nutrients that improve your health and reduce disease-risk; they can also help you lose weight. They&#8217;re naturally low in calories, so you can eat more of them and have less room in your diet for less-than-healthful foods. Plus, the fiber in whole-grain foods and produce will help you feel fuller longer (which helps you control portions and avoid overeating) and as a result, lose weight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">4. </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Eat Often Enough</span><br />
</strong>One of the worst ways to lose weight? Meal skipping. Many people think skipping meals is a great way to cut calories, but in the end, they fail to lose weight. You&#8217;ll be more likely to overeat or even binge (when you finally do eat) if you do not eat regular meals. Plus your body may go into &#8220;starvation mode&#8221; if don&#8217;t eat enough, causing you to maintain (or even gain) rather than lose weight!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5. <strong>Drinking Water</strong></span><br />
Water helps you lose weight in several ways: If you tend to have a problem with &#8220;water weight,&#8221; drinking more water can help alleviate bloating. Replacing high-cal drinks such as soda with water cuts hundreds of calories. You shouldn&#8217;t wait until you&#8217;re feeling thirsty to drink water; thirst can be mistaken for hunger, causing you to overeat. Proper hydration improves your sense of well-being, which will keep up your motivation to lose weight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">6. </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Get Moving</span><br />
</strong>It is virtually impossible to lose weight and keep it off without exercising regularly. Start out today by taking a brisk walk or riding a bike. Work your way up from 10 minutes to 30-40 minutes a day, most days a week, and you could reap health benefits and weight loss results in a matter of weeks. Plus, exercise boosts your metabolism, making it even easier to lose weight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">7. </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Food Portion Control</span><br />
</strong>Measuring food may seem like a drudgery, but it will prove invaluable in your efforts to lose weight. Start out by comparing a measured standard serving of foods to your typical helping. You may find you usually consume two or even three times the recommended serving. In time you will reprogram your brain to eyeball portion sizes, a key skill for losing weight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">8.</span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> Food Journal</span><br />
</strong>What&#8217;s the first thing I think anyone who wants to lose weight should do? Keep a food diary. All you have to do is jot down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook, or you can do it online at a Web site like Calorie Count Plus. A food diary will give you a clear picture of your current eating habits so you can identify the changes you need to make to lose weight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re looking for a workout you can do anytime, anywhere, exercise bands are a great option. You can target a variety of muscles for a total body tune-up – all in the comfort of your own home. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.fitnessjudge.com/?p=995#more-995"><img src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn109/fitnessjudge/IMG_0507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />

<p><!--more--><br />
<strong>Pushup</strong></p>
<p>Place both hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Support your body in a plank position with straight arms and your toes on the floor. The band should rest tautly over your back with the ends tucked under your hands. Maintain one long line from head to heel and, keeping abs tight, lower your torso nearly to the floor. As you return to your starting position, the band should provide some resistance.<br />
<!--more--><br />
<em>Continue for 10 to 15 repetitions. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fitnessjudge.com/?p=995#more-995"><img src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn109/fitnessjudge/IMG_0510.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />

<p><strong>Shoulder press</strong></p>
<p>Stand with feet together on top of the band. With arms out to the sides and elbows bent, grip the handles with palms facing front, holding them just higher than shoulder height. With the band coming up behind your back, press hands up and over your head without locking the elbows. Slowly return to the start position, with hands just above shoulder height.<br />
<!--more--><br />
<em>Repeat for 12 to 15 repetitions. </em></p>
