Fitness Craz with Jamie

Thirsty Thursday

True or false?! 👇🏻👇🏻

Drinking coffee is an aid to weight loss?!

Caffeine can boost the metabolic rate and rate a fat breakdown in the short term. Caffeine causes muscles to use fat as fuel, which may be the reason why your body burns extra calories when you drink coffee.

Number 1 Fitness Tip….
LOVE YOURSELF!!!!

Love where YOU are, love your curves, love the hard work your body has done over the years, love your goals, and love the process!!!!

I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid of being herself.

Trainer Tip Tuesday!! 🧐 Push Ups! You can love them! You can hate them!!! BUT good form is key to get the most out of the work out.Follow this Push-Up Alignment Checklist. 🗒
1️⃣ Hands are slightly wider than your shoulders, but directly under your shoulders.
2️⃣ Your head is neutral with your spine, and your chin is untucked from your chest.
3️⃣ Your core is activated.
4️⃣ Your quads and hip flexors are contracting.
5️⃣ When lowering to the ground, your elbows should be at a 45 degree angle to your body taking your chest all the way to the ground.

Tuesday Trainer Tip...

🌙You won't be successful at losing weight or being healthy until you get over the idea of "fast". STOP looking for a quick fixes, stop putting harmful chemicals in your body, stop buying unnecessary pills, stop starving yourself. Eat clean, do cardio, strength train, and have patience!
Trust the process!
YOU WILL GET RESULTS!!

DID YOU KNOW????

Once a week for 20 minutes, sit in a hot bath that contains a handful of Epson salts, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, and a half a cup of baking soda. This combo draws out toxins, lower stress, related, hormones, and balances your pH levels.

Tuesday Tip for my Dance Fitness/ High Fitness Gals!!!

If your Cardio and dance fitness classes keep your feet moving, pivoting, lifting and chaussée-ing… fast. What you need is a shoe that keeps up and helps you avoid athletic injury.

Consider a shoe that has a pivot point to ease movement and protect those knees!!!

There are many different namebrands to choose from.
This particular shoe is Ryka Training shoe👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
It comes in high top (my Fav because it supports my ankles) or low top!!!

DO SMART WATCHES REALLY MOTIVATE YOU TO EXERCISE???????
Here is what I found…

About one in five people has a smart watch or fitness tracker, according to a recent survey. These wrist-worn monitors are a handy way to track your daily steps, and they’re probably more accurate than the tally from your smartphone, which you might not carry with you every waking moment. Most wearable gadgets also offer an array of other data, such as your heart rate, walking pace, and more.

But does using one affect how active people are? According to the largest study to date on the topic, the answer is yes! Regular physical activity is vital for a healthy heart, and the improvements seen in this study could potentially make a difference, says Dr. Megan Wasfy, a cardiologist at the Cardiovascular Performance Laboratory at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

So put on the fitness tracker and MOVE!!!!!
