Positive Attitude and a Good Fun Time with the Family

Chuck knows how to have a good time at the gym.  He brings his family with him!

Why not?

Chuck is 54.  He stopped working out a whole bunch a years ago and then started up again last year at SonomaXfitness.  He arrived at SonomaXfitness with his wife and two boys and brought with him an amazing positive attitude.  He encourages everyone around him.  He even encourages me!

I have to watch him carefully though!  Because he wants to go heavy with the weights.  But he can't because of an injury.  So we work around it by not doing any exercises that aggravate his injury.  He is seeing great results.  We are using a lot less weight than he used to, but because we are focusing on the body-mind connection he is building his body beautifully.

Chuck is a great example that you don't have to go heavy to get amazing results.

Personally, I like that he brings his family and we all have a good, fun time working out.

I look forward to the training sessions.

Nutrition Tip: Want to Get In Prime Shape?

Nutrition Tip of the Week:

SUPPLEMENTS WON'T GET YOU IN PRIME SHAPE,
YOUR DIET WILL

Supplements are referred to as such because they are SUPPLEMENTARY to your diet! Ensure that you are practicing a balanced diet featuring primarily slow-digesting carbohydrates, clean proteins, and healthy fats. 


Once you have been religious with your diet for several weeks, consult a Sonoma X Fitness trainer for supplement advice.

Nutrition tip: Eat More In The Morning

Nutrition Tip of the Week:

EAT MORE IN THE MORNING AND LESS IN THE EVENING TO GET LEAN
Since we are always on the go, it is easy to skip breakfast. By doing this, we become more hungry and tend to overcompensate for that hunger by eating later in the day. This is problematic, because as the day goes on, we tend to be less active, and that extra food is stored as fat. Eat a healthy breakfast with a good balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy, unsaturated fats. 

Try to eat less in the evening and be sure to cut down on carbohydrates as your activity level decreases later in the day.

Easy, effective and back friendly strength training

Ann rehabilitated her back by working out three times a week 30 minutes each. Using easy, effective and back friendly strength training she gradually built her muscles to support her back. At the same time she noticed her knee issues improved - everything was starting to wake up and respond to her health efforts.




But what I love most about working with Ann is her positive, can-do attitude, even when she was in a lot of pain. She showed up and kept going and showed me how to work through tough times and keep going.

She helps me thrive.

Nutrition Tip: Eat Small and Frequent Meals

Nutrition Tip of the Week:

EAT SMALL, FREQUENT MEALS TO BURN FAT

Eating 5-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours boosts your metabolic rate. With and increased metabolic rate, your body will undergo more caloric expenditure!

Starving your body isn't kind.


Kindness to your body leads to health and happiness.
Eat a lot - a lot of good small meals.

Call me for a tour of the gym! I'd love to show you where we get all serious about being health in a fun and friendly way.  You'll enjoy it, for sure!
