Helping other Women Lose Weight

I used to lack confidence and I was not happy with my body. I needed a change in my life, and I knew I needed to take control. I knew the secret to becoming fit was my eating habits and physical activity. I began spending 60 minutes or so engaged in physical activity, and I did this 6 days a week. I transformed my body and restored my spirit. The News Herald Lighten up contest gave me the drive I needed to get my weight under control again. With my new passion for fitness, I studied and received my certification as a personal trainer so that I could begin training other women and help them reach their fitness goals. Although I am here to help them, their courage became my inspiration as they fought hard to lose weight and get in shape. I noticed when their fitness levels improved their confidence soared. Not all women progress at the same pace. Sadly, those women who didn’t lose weight as quickly had more of a tendency to give up and quit.

Attached are some before and after pictures of one of my current clients at Slim & Fit, that did not give up. I am so proud of the transformation in her. I can’t take all the credit, she did a lot of hard work. She never missed a work out and followed the Slim & Fit nutrition plan to get where she is today. She has become my master piece and I wanted to show off our hard work! She is now a great friend and continues to train with me twice a week. I have no doubt that she will continue to eat healthy and exercise.

Let me help you with your weight loss goals!

Lose Weight and keep it off - This really works

Have you been looking for a way to lose weight and keep it off for good? Are you willing to do a little work in order to drop some pounds? Then you are reading the right blog! I am going to tell you the secret to losing weight and keeping it off.

The obvious formula is to reduce the amount of food you eat and exercise. However following that formula may not give you the results you are looking for. This works for a short time but then you begin to plateau. Even increasing your aerobic activity has little effect. But we can change that.

You can see eye opening results, if you simply add resistance training to your fitness program. You will notice a change in your weight and size. Even before the scale reveals it, you will see it in the mirror. If you don't have a full length mirror, it's time to get one. Not only will you see a change in the way you look, these exercises are important to build strength and flexibility. All you need is thirty minutes a day, but if you have longer than that then go for it.

Of, course what you eat will determine how much weight you lose. You want to cut back on fat, sugar and salt. Don't expect exercise alone to take care of your weight loss goals. You have to eat less and burn more calories to actually lose weight. I like to use the LOSE IT App. It is free for iphones and ipads you can also go to loseit.com.  Give it a try.

I teach some strength training classes that can help you get started. Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at Slim and Fit in Concord. Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Hope Ridge Church in Concord. If you would like to join us please send me an email at charsin@roadrunner.com

Fit After Forty

Ladies, Dont' settle for the myth about not being able to keep up with a changing body. Years ago, as women aged they gave up on physical fitness, sports competitions or losing weight. I don't ever remember my mother exercising when I was growing up. We now know that as we age, it is even more important to stay fit. At twenty years old it was fairly easy to keep a girlish figure, but after 2 kids and over forty years old, it is something I can't ignore. I have to work at it everyday! Us forty something year olds, need to have at least thirty minutes of exercise each day just to maintain our weight. If you do not change your diet as you age you will gain weight.

Exercise is important for our bodies at any age, but even more so as we get older. As we age our joints get stiffer, muscles are not as flexible and our balance decreases. Exercise can help with all these aging signs! It doesn't matter if you are 17 or 77 exercise can improve the way you feel and look.

There is no reason to throw in a towel just because you are over 40. Being physically fit and living a healthy lifestyle can make life so much easier. You will feel healthier, have better movement, and love the way you look.

Turning 40  is a reason to celebrate, so make sure you do something special for yourself that will ensure you have many more birthdays parties to attend in the future. Begin an exercise program today!!!

Fat Clothes

I have about 20 more pounds to lose, and these last 20 are harder than the 35 pounds that I already lost. I am struggling with giving away all the clothes that don’t fit me anymore. I have been stuffing these clothes into garbage bags as I grow out of them, and putting them into the attic. They are labeled “FAT CLOTHES, JUST IN CASE”. I’ve read many times that keeping your FAT clothes is an incentive to put the weight back on again. I have size 18 to size 12 stuffed up there.

My neighborhood is having a garage sale May 19-21. I have pulled these clothes out and have started pricing them. I am living a healthier now. Working out 5 days a week and eating healthier. This can never change. Especially if I am selling all my clothes. If you are in need of clothes sizes 12-18 please stop by May 19 – 21.

Because I am NOT going to allow myself to ever need them again in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Training Anyone?

Make a change today, like this client is!

I have been overweight for many years although my stamina stayed strong,

that is up until a few years ago.  My life and specifically my weight was

out of control.

As I wallowed in misery I happened to notice a Lighten Up program in the

News Herald.  At first, I thought all those people were nuts putting their

body specifications out for everyone to see, but I was hooked and followed

everyone's progress.  By the end of the program I was determined to sign up

for the 2011 competition.  The one person I continually watched was

Charlene Sintic.  I don't know why, I did not even know Charlene.  Between

last years competition and this years start, I kept thinking about what I

would do to compete and what would make a difference in my life.

I have never liked to exercise and the thought of getting into the contest

was frightening, but this year also brought a challenge to me that

increased my need and want to take the plunge.  Last year, one of my

grandson's was born with only a half of a heart.  He fought a great battle

and had many people praying for him, but he only lived for 102 days.  In

his memory my family decided that each May we will walk or run for the

Heart Association.  So now I really know I need some help.  I could

probably walk a mile but 3 or 6 that was out of the question.  What was I

going to do????

I still kept thinking  about that Lighten Up contest, but this new

motivation took president.  I want to walk with my family in my grandson's

memory.  As the Lighten Up was being advertised for 2011, I saw that

Charlene became a trainer for Slim and Fit.  Was this a sign for me to go

there - I wanted to meet her and I needed help.

Well, here I am, NOT part of the 2011 Lighten Up competition, but I am

working out.  Yep, I have met Charlene and she is my trainer.  I am doing

something I have never done in my life.  I can't take all the credit for my

motivation, it is Charlene that helps make the difference.

If I were working out on my own I would be quitting every 5 or 10 minutes.

I get tired fast and always feel weak.  The thing is Charlene encourages me

every step of the way.  She has shared stories of times when she found

working out difficult and makes me really believe in myself.  Charlene is

always telling me how strong I am.  I don't think of myself that way, but I

am loosing weight and inches.  I have only been working out for 6 weeks and

I have to say I am starting to look forward to my workout dates.  I am

being pushed and I certainly feel it while I am lifting those weights, but

once I leave I feel great.

As I said, this is my first experience in working with a trainer and it is

awesome.  Charlene makes things interesting, she rotates the routines and

is always changing something.  I think I can actually become addicted to

this type of workout.  I don't know if I ever want to exercise alone,

especially if Charlene is the trainer.

If we were voting on trainers, Charlene would certainly get my vote.
