Getting Fit with Allen Branch

Today's Fitness Tips with Fitness One Personal Trainer, Allen Branch, -

-Eat for Fuel not Fun: Food can be fun, there is no doubt. We center celebrations, quality time with friends and family and plenty of other occasions around eating. However, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that food is primarily supposed to be fuel. It's important to start each day with the right foods or "fuel". It's also important not to overeat at dinner and right before bed, when we won't have a chance to burn what we've eaten. Allen suggests fruits and veggies as excellent food choices to keep your tank full throughout the day.

-Squat Properly! Squats are a crucial element of a throrough workout. However, form is important and lots of us do them incorrectly. According to Allen, when you do squats your knees should not extend past your toes. Watch this video to see a squat executed properly:

Shapin' up for Summer

Allen Branch joined us on the Family Friendly Morning Show today to share some tips for getting in shape for swimsuit season. Here's what he had to say:

-Food choices and portion sizes are important. The USDA food pyramid is a good guide to food groups and portion sizes. www.mypyramid.gov. Use an online food tracker like www.livestrong.com or to keep up with your intake. There are also some really good apps for food tracking on your iPhone or iPod touch.

-Find an activity you like so that you will stick with it.

- Everyone needs to do some type of strength training. A basic routine includes: a squat (i.e. lunge), a push (ie a push up), a pull (i.e. pull up), a core exercise (like a plank), some sort of trunk rotation movement, and also a cardio like running or walking and also.

-Intervals--Very important. For example, if you walk a mile, carry a stopwatch with you and every minute, jog for 15 seconds.
