Section 2: Lifestyle Coaching

After working with clients from all walks of life for a number of years, we’ve noticed several characteristics that separate those who succeed with their fitness program from those who do not. Those who succeed buy into the “Four Laws of Success”. You must be ready to accept these laws without exception.

Section 3: Cardiovascular Exercise

The Surgeon General’s Report released suggests that 30 minutes of light activity every day (equivalent to household chores, walking, gardening, cycling) will be sufficient to improve someone’s health. This is a non-structured way of attempting to improve your health. All you have to do is commit to being more active in your life. Just try to get in 30 minutes of activity every day.

Section 4: Resistance Training

As we get older, our metabolism, the number of calories we burn at rest, drops. This is related to a decline in the activity of our liver, kidneys, and other organs as we get older. This declining rate is almost entirely out of our control – almost!

Section 5: Nutrition

There is no trick to eating well. It is the stuff we have all heard before. Drink lots of water. Consume your required intake of fruits, vegetables. Minimize excessive calories, alcohol and sugar intake. But there seems to be a gap between knowing what to do and actually adhering to these simple guidelines. There is no special grapefruit, cabbage, Low-protein or High-protein diet or pill that will get you the results you want quickly and knowledge alone is not power!

Section 6: Lifestyle Changes

One study at the University of South Carolina found that we expend approximately 10 calories less per day as a result of just using remote controls. 10 calories less – it does not sound like a lot. But 10 calories here and 15 calories there – it all adds up. It is easy to see how people are putting weight on so easily and so quickly. In this day and age, it is a lot easier to eat 3,500 excess calories than it is to expend 3,500 calories.

Section 7: Activity & Nutrition Logs

Studies have shown that recording your exercise and food intake significantly improves your habits. Also, keeping track will point out unhealthy habits or patterns that you have developed. Just noticing these patterns is the first step to improving your lifestyle. Many of our clients have experienced a lot of success with recording their nutrition and activity daily and having their trainer review using our NWPT online app.
