Jump Start Your Failing Fitness New Years Resolution

March 30, 2011 - PRLog -- JUMP START YOUR FAILING FITNESS NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

Benbrook, TX. – March 30, 2011 - Veteran fitness trainer Erik Brown has some simple tips to jump-start your fitness program if you have fallen off your New Year’s resolution to loose weight.  “The key is to prevent your fitness routine from becoming boring,” says Erik Brown of Brown Fitness in Benbrook, TX.  “You can sabotage your fitness program if it becomes boring mentally or physically.”  He has these suggestions.

1.   Change our fitness program as much as possible.   “Your body is a machine that adapts quickly and that is one of the reasons why you reach the dreaded plateau.  Don’t work out on the same machines every time, “ Brown suggests.  “Create muscle confusion by doing different variations of your exercises.”

2.   Change the intensity of your workout.  “It’s better to alternate intense exercise for 30 to 60 second with lower intensity than to keep a long steady regimen.    

3.   Try using other exercise tools like bands, kettlebells, dumbbell or a stability ball.  Brown suggests doing some exercises that utilize your body weight.  Brown says, “You can work the body in many different planes of motion that you can’t get with normal machines.”

Brown uses that philosophy in his Camp Kettlebell Boot Camp.   He has fitness stations set up utilizing bands, kettlebells, dumbbell and stability balls.  During the workout, clients stay in motion even when taking a break between stations.  

"I've lost count the number of times I've made New Year's resolutions to lose weight and get back in shape,” said Shelley Cooper.  “Every time in the past I have fallen short of my goals due to losing interest and not knowing where to begin.  With Camp Kettlebell both of those obstacles are gone.  It is never boring due to the variety of the exercises and the great interaction I have with the other members.  I've lost 63 pounds and 18.5 inches and have been able to keep it off over the last year".
