Ask Fitz: Running or Spining for Weight Loss and Toning

tracybenham — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:25:05 +0000

Fitz when she was a Pro Kickboxer

Q. Hi Fitz, I have a question for you if you don’t mind. I was wondering….in your opinion, which is better for you? Running on a treadmill or spinning. I used to run all of the time, then I went back to spinning and I love it. I was wondering if it was a better choice for toning and calorie loss. Thanks. Liz
A. Hi Liz! Great question. I think they’re both fantastic forms of exercise which provide cardiovascular benefits, a great calorie burn and a super workout for your muscles. The benefit running has over spinning is that it’s high impact which is great for your bones (allthough too much of it could be bad for your bones – weird huh?) My suggestion? Do both! Either way, you can’t lose anything except for pounds! Hope that helps – now get to work!

Punches & Kicks,
Fitz

tracybenham — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:34:45 +0000

Celebrity trainer and AHN fitness expert, Fitz shares the real scoop on the smoothie.

Consuming a smoothie packed with fresh produce and not much extra nonsense is fine if you choose it as a healthier alternative to dessert or an occasional meal replacement. It is not however, some sort of miracle weight loss potion one should indulge in after every workout. Fitz shares her thought in this short Fit Kick Video. For lots of yummy, smoothie dessert recipes, check out Fitz’s Flab Belly Cookbook. It is available at your local bookstore, Amazon.com or in our S.H.E. Recommends box. ( right hand column)

Daily Kick in the Butt: Can using a Plate help you Lose Weight?

tracybenham — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:09:35 +0000

All day/week: Use a plate or utensil EVERY time you eat anything. You will be less tempted to mindlessly snack. If you grab a snack or eat out – get it to go and save the wrappers. You may be surprised much you are actually eating.
