I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.
Personal Trainers, Austin, TXLiquid Calories
I know, this really hits a button with many of you, and I’ve talked on it quite a bit. I realize during the holidays, consumption of liquid calories can go up exponentially. This is not just in the form of alcohol, either. Eggnog (num), punches, soft drinks, extra cold-weather visits to S-bucks, and the like.
In January when you notice holiday weight gain, it is often damage from these above, not food. If you want to better ensure you don’t add to your body weight, plan a bit ahead. When you know you are going to imbibe that day or hitting a party that night…I’m not saying don’t enjoy – just CUT BACK on food calories somewhat that day, and the next day, to offset the liquid calories. Move a little more (yes, exercise) more that day and the next.
I could list the calorie numbers here that seem so innocent; a couple glasses of wine, a margarita, a rum and coke (even diet coke) and it just might bum you out to see how much it adds up to. The good news? Knocking off that extra glass of wine, beer, margarita or soft drink can have a major impact the other way!!!! Over a few weeks time of cutting back, you could easily see a weight loss, since these liquid calories really add up. Take half away? Watch what happens – let alone topping that with healthier eating and regular exercise. Voila!
