When we opened our doors, we were committed to create a fitness movement in Kansas City and educate people to take better care of their bodies. Client by client, we built an awareness for better health and an appreciation for leading a healthier lifestyle. These clients saw the commitment that we show to personal training and word started to get around Kansas City about our proven methods and dedication. Our personal training methods have been time tested and our results are proven by our clients.
It all starts with our people. Each one of our personal trainers in Kansas City has been hand selected after a rigorous set of interviews and lifestyle questions. We want to make sure that our trainers can be trusted and are committed to you, Kansas City. Each one of our trainers is also highly educated and trained with the proper fitness knowledge. We are continually attending classes to increase our knowledge base and deliver to you the latest in training methods and workouts.
Our programs are custom tailored for each and every person. We put together a personal training program specifically for your body type. People are overwhelmed by the success they have with just a little dedication and time. We know that life is hectic, and that’s why we bring fitness to you! Why drive all over the city when you can workout and train in your own home. We even have relationships with equipment manufacturers that can bring you the very best in fitness equipment for your home without all the superstore markup!
So make your resolution to begin a healthier lifestyle.
So, here’s another reason why it’s important to eat your fruits and veggies. Check out “Does Eating Fruits and Veggies Make Us More Attractive?” by ABC News. Great motivator to eat the recommended 7-13 servings a day, right??? I’m eating carrots as I type this.
AFC came across an inspirational blog that has hit home in so many ways and just had to share. It’s called Marc and Angel Hack Life, Practical Tips for Productive Living. Check it out and tell us what you think. This week, there’s a great posting on happiness: “10 Ways Happy People Choose Happiness.” We especially like #6:
#6. Choose to take care of your body. – Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don’t have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected. Recent studies conducted on people who were clinically depressed showed that consistent exercise significantly raises happiness levels in the near-term. Not only that, six months later, the people who had continued to exercise were less likely to relapse into depression because they had a higher sense of self-accomplishment and self-worth.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day coming up this Tuesday, AFC wants you to not only love your Valentine, but to also love your heart. We care too much about our readers and want to keep providing you relevant health and fitness news. So, when we came across this article, we just had to share: “Take it to heart: Get moving, get healthy”. Good simple tips on moving, eating well, maintaining a healthy weight, the important of NOT smoking and making sure to get regular check-ups. Nice reminders to share with ourselves and with your loved one.
Take it to heart: Get moving, get healthy
Dr. Uma Krishnan
For the Auburn Reporter
Heart disease is a leading cause of death for men and women. Often it is a silent disease that you might not understand until damage has been done. But you can take steps to keep your heart as healthy as possible with some simple changes that include eating better and getting more exercise. Share this information with your loved ones this month. It might be one of the best Valentines they get.
• Get moving. We know there are lots of reasons that people give for not working out: kids, jobs, meetings other obligations. But a half-hour walk around your neighborhood or a quick stroll at lunch can provide tremendous benefits. It reduces stress, gives you more energy, and it’s good for your heart. By exercising for as little as 30 minutes each day you can reduce your risk of heart disease.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. Exercise can be any physical activity that makes you move your body and burns calories, such as climbing stairs or playing sports. Aerobic exercises, which include walking, jogging, swimming or biking, strengthen your heart. Strength and stretching exercises are best for overall stamina and flexibility.
• Eat well. Load your diet with fruits and vegetables, whole-grain foods that contain fiber, and fish. We’re not saying you have to miss out on your favorite treats, but please eat them sparingly. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables help you control your weight and your blood pressure.
The AHA recommends cutting back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet. Aim to eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol each day. Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Weight gain in adulthood usually comes in the form of fat rather than muscle. And excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease. That includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
How do you know your healthy weight? Talk to your doctor. You also can figure out your body mass index (BMI) using your height and weight. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fat for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides an online calculator at its Web site: www.cdc.gov.
To calculate your BMI value yourself, multiply your weight in pounds by 703, divide by your height in inches, then divide again by your height in inches.
• Stop smoking. This is one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease. It also causes other health problems that you don’t want.
People who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day have more than twice the risk of heart attack than non-smokers. And here’s why: The nicotine in cigarettes decreases oxygen to the heart, increases blood pressure and heart rate, increases blood clotting and damages cells that line the coronary arteries and other blood vessels.
Washington offers Quit Line, a free hotline for phone counseling and support, quit plans, tips and tools. Call: 800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669), Spanish: 877-NO-FUME, TTY: 877-777-6534 or visit www.quitline.com.
• Get a check up. Checking in with your health care provider on a regular basis gives you an independent assessment of your health. Your provider can check your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and other indicators and help you take steps to become healthier.
With your health care provider, you can make good decisions about diet and exercise. Following these steps may help keep your heart healthy longer.
