<p>Our Personal trainers in NYC can help you to beat the Christmas blues and will ensure that you remain trim through the festive period. As the decorations get put up, and the festive music fills the air, there are far too many temptations being made in the kitchen.</p>
<p>Adding a washboard stomach to your wish list may seem pointless; however, if you follow the alternative 12 days of Christmas, you may just get what you have wished for this year.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the first day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Be kind to yourself and reduce your salt, which will make you look and feel far healthier. Including too much salt in your daily diet will lead to water retention, which is extremely damaging for your perfect abs. You need to ensure that you are aware of the sodium content in your food, and limit any extra salt being included into your food.</p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>On the second day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Private <a title="personal training" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/healthy-benefits-of-personal-training-in-nyc/">personal training</a> gyms in NYC use a medicine ball, which is ideal for your training. These basic balls were crafted in Persia over 3000 years ago. The medicine ball is an excellent piece of equipment to use when you want to achieve rippling abs. Personal trainers in NYC will advise that you use your medicine ball in every workout, and they are excellent for aiding sit ups.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the third day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Fiber is the best gift that you can receive, and ensuring that you eat plenty will make you feel far healthier. There are plenty of different foods to choose which include high levels of fiber and you will be surprised what you can eat. Pears with the skin on, raspberries, apples, Brussels sprouts, carrots and broccoli are all high in fiber and low in calories<em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>On the fourth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>The Burpee was created in the 1930’s by the psychologist Royal H Burpee, and many Personal Trainers in NYC use these techniques today. Burpee is an intense all over body workout that tones your muscle and burns the excess <a title="fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">fat</a>. You will need to stand with your feet shoulder distance apart and drop to a squat. Placing your hands on the ground, kicking back your feet and lower yourself to a push up. Once done, you will need to return to a squat position, and jump up with your arms stretched above your head.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the fifth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Sprints are the best way forward and will ensure that you are achieving the correct goals in the time frame. It has been proven that short bursts of intense cardio are the ideal way to burn fat and achieve the best results possible. Completing several 60-90 second sprints throughout your workout will get you blood pumping and your fat burning abilities will improve.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the sixth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Lean protein is another item which should be included in your diet, and every meal can be packed full of this element. The private personal training gyms in NYC will advise you on the best ways to include the protein; however, it can be achieved easily at home. The protein will control the blood sugar within your body and support the growth of your muscle.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the seventh day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Oblique V-Sits are necessary to banish the muffin top that you are likely to have, and will ensure that your mid drift remains toned. This exercise routine is a favorite of personal trainers in NYC and can be achieved extremely easily. You will need to lie on your side with your hands behind your head, and your legs pointed straight. Slowly raise your arms and legs in a simultaneous motion whilst squeezing your oblique’s and breathing correctly, repeating on both sides.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the eighth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Cutting out grain from your diet is the perfect gift to give yourself, and will help you to be healthier and full of life. Grains are packed full of carbohydrates which will fatten you and cause the areas that you want to get rid of. There are plenty of grain free alternatives for you to eat, which are delicious and far healthier for you.</p>
<p>.<em><strong>On the ninth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Hanging leg raises may sound severe; however, they are excellent for getting results within the time frame that you have. By simply hanging from a bar with your legs extended, you will need to exhale and bring your knees to your chest. As you slowly lower your legs, you will need to inhale which will help you to achieve the ideal abs.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the tenth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Cutting out sugar is an incredible way to allow your body to be as natural as possible, and although the sugar may be delicious it is not suitable for your body. If you feel that you cannot survive without nay sugar, you should eat fresh fruit. However, personal trainers in NYC will advise no sugar at all to obtain the perfect washboard stomach and abs..</p>
<p><em><strong>On the eleventh day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>Mountain climbers are an intense workout that personal trainers will always advise to use when trying to achieve fantastic abs. You will need to get into the push up position, and drive your knees towards your chest whilst exhaling. By alternating your legs, you will be receiving a fantastic workout, which will help you to get excellent results.</p>
<p><em><strong>On the twelfth day of Christmas</strong></em></p>
<p>You will have the gift that you wished for and be able to show off your incredible washboard abs to your personal trainers in NYC. With hard work, the correct diet and a good attitude you will be able to achieve the body that you want for Christmas.</p>

<p>Does getting in shape and living healthfully seem impossible? Is it out of reach for you? </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. Fitness can be simple. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s break it down into 29 simple strategies that lead to great health and a rewarding life</p>
<ol>
<li>Instantly eat less at every meal by switching to smaller sized plates. You will feel satisfied mentally since your plate is full but you won&#8217;t eat as many calories. </li>
<li>Join forces with our personal trainers in NYC and make sure to do something active every day. Connect with others trying to get healthy as well, so you have a network of support. </li>
<li>Have a long term goal that you want to reach. You have to know where you are headed before you can get there. </li>
<li>Allow our in-home personal trainers in NYC to believe in you, then believe in yourself as well. </li>
<li>Allow our personal trainers in NYC to pump up your workouts so you do more than just pass the time. Make every workout as effective and productive as possible. </li>
<li>Drink. Drink. Drink. Water is your daily companion.</li>
<li>Reach out for help when you need it. </li>
<li>Learn high intensity interval training from our in-home personal trainers in NYC. They will help you burn more <a title="fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">fat</a> in a shorter amount of time.</li>
<li>Speed up the metabolism so you burn more fat and feel more energetic&#8230;just eat a small, healthy meal or snack every three hours. </li>
<li>How bad do you want to get healthy? Ditch willpower and focus on the desire to get to that final goal. </li>
<li>Processed foods are now forbidden. They are filled with everything your body doesn&#8217;t need to be fit and healthy. </li>
<li>Get rid of high fat foods that are rich in calories and substitute with lean protein, whole grains, and leafy vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals.</li>
<li>Look at all &#8220;health&#8221; or &#8220;diet&#8221; foods with a healthy dose of skepticism. Read the labels and make educated decisions. </li>
<li>Talk produces no results, but action delivers your goals. Stop talking. Start acting. </li>
<li>Push your limits by working out with others far beyond your level of physical fitness. Allow them to motivate and inspire you to push harder. </li>
<li>Take those negative thoughts and turn them around into positives. </li>
<li>Never take your calories in liquid form.</li>
<li>Make sure you are aware of every morsel that crosses your lips. NO mindless eating.</li>
<li>Meet with our personal trainers in NYC at least two &#8211; three times every week. Consistency rules. </li>
<li>Expect very high results and actions from yourself.</li>
<li>High fructose corn syrup must be eliminated from your diet. It causes your body to store fat rather than burning it. </li>
<li>Take in lots of fresh vegetables and whole grains so you get the fiber and antioxidants your body needs to lose weight effectively. </li>
<li>Increase the burn of actual fat stores during cardio workouts by doing strength training first. Strength training burns up the sugars so you are ready to burn fat for the cardio session. </li>
<li>Balance the fats, carbs and proteins in your breakfast to wake up your metabolism. </li>
<li>You know you deserve better, so create better for yourself. </li>
<li>Make every workout challenging. If you don&#8217;t know how, hire our in-home personal trainers in NYC for ideas. </li>
<li>Track your progress toward very specific goals that can be measured easily. </li>
<li>Consume only whole grains, but use them sparingly since they convert to fat easily.</li>
<li>Stop struggling and lean on our personal trainers in NYC for motivation and proven results. </li>
</ol>
<p>Put this list somewhere it will be seen every single day. Read and reread.</p>
<p><strong> Not So Sweet</strong></p>
<p>You have to get away from sugary foods if you want to lose weight. Sugar causes your insulin levels to spike and that in turn leads to storing calories as fat. Look for lower calorie, completely natural alternatives like Stevia.</p>
<p>Recipe My Fav Green Beans</p>
<p>Get your vitamins and dietary fiber without all the calories by consuming green beans. This is a very quick recipe that has that tangy twist that makes veggies more enjoyable. </p>
<p>Serves 2</p>
<p>Ingredients</p>
<ol>
<li>8oz fresh green beans</li>
<li> 2 teaspoons olive oil</li>
<li>1 Tablespoon dijon mustard</li>
<li>2 teaspoons brown rice vinegar</li>
<li>3 Tablespoons diced yellow onion</li>
<li>dash of salt and pepper</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>1.. Steam beans so they have some crunch but are softer. </p>
<p>2.. Whisk all remaining ingredients in a medium bowl then add in the beans. Toss. </p>
<p>3.. Put in a serving dish. Serve.</p>
<p>Nutritional Information per serving 94 calories, 4g fat, 9.5g carbohydrate, 3.3g fiber, and 2g protein.</p>

<p>Personal trainers in NYC know many flat tummy tips that most everyday people will never hear. They know why so many people who want flat stomachs are stuck with bulging bellies and they have solutions for every problem and setback that most people run into in their quest for perfectly flat stomachs.</p>
<p>This is why so many people are now signing up for <a title="weight loss" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/why-calories-count-in-an-exercise-weight-loss-program/">weight loss</a> programs in NYC. They want the insider secrets that they know those talented personal trainers in NYC have to offer. If you would like to join these health-seekers and learn how to get a perfectly flat, well toned stomach, the following tips will get you started. </p>
<p>Flat Tummy Tip #1: Personal trainers in NYC are much more effective than diet pills. </p>
<p>So many diet pills claim to deliver flat stomachs without exercise, but this is a myth you should never fall for. You have to workout to get a flat stomach and then you have to keep working out on a routine basis if you want to maintain that flat stomach. There is no way around it! </p>
<p>Flat Tummy Tip #2: <a title="Fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">Fat</a> burning cardio is far more effective than thousands of crunches. </p>
<p>Forget about doing a thousand crunches a day or other silly programs you hear about from celebrities or your friends. Rather than wasting your time trying to sculpt super abs, focus on burning the fat off the top of your stomach. You already have muscle definition that is hiding under there! </p>
<p>This is one of the most basic flat tummy tips often handed out by personal trainers in NYC to participants in weight loss programs in NYC. Yet, it makes a world of difference in how you train for a flat tummy. </p>
<p>Flat Tummy Tip #3: Fresh, natural foods are far more effective than &#8220;diet&#8221; foods. </p>
<p>There are so many different labels now being used to mislead people who want to get healthy. Stay away from packaged diet foods and just shop around the outer edges of your grocery store. The natural, fresh foods will always be better for you than packaged foods specially prepared for dieters. </p>
<p>Flat Tummy Tip #4: A diet rich in whole grains is more effective than low or no carb diet. </p>
<p>Carbohydrates are essential for developing a well toned body and building up the endurance and energy to get through intensive workouts with those personal trainers in NYC. When you sign up to our weight loss programs in NYC you learn that whole grain, natural carbohydrates are your friends rather than your enemies. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up or limit your carbs. Just choose them wisely. </p>
<p>Flat Tummy Tip #5: Small, frequent meals are far more effective than starvation diets. </p>
<p>Personal trainers in NYC meet new clients who have been starving themselves almost every day. The first thing they tell these new clients is to start feeding their bodies. Why would a trainer tell someone to eat more? They do so because it is the only way to get that perfectly flat, well toned tummy. </p>
<p>Starvation diets actually work against your weight loss and toning goals. The body is very complex but you don&#8217;t have to understand it all. You just have to know that food is required to get the body of your dreams. </p>

<p>     You expect your self confidence to go up while working with personal trainers, but it is easy to feel unattractive and self-conscious during those in-between phases. As your clothing starts to droop and your stomach becomes squishy and fluid feeling you may start to feel even worse about your appearance. Don&#8217;t quit the private <a title="personal training" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/healthy-benefits-of-personal-training-in-nyc/">personal training</a> gyms! There are ways to start feeling better about yourself.</p>
<p>      The squishy feeling is a good thing as it shows the <a title="fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">fat</a> stores are loosening beneath the skin so they don&#8217;t feel as hard and compacted. The following tips will help you hold your head high and feel confident in the changes being made. Keep your personal trainers, but ditch the frumpy in-between appearance.</p>
<p><em>No Excuse for Frumpy</em></p>
<p>      It&#8217;s great that your clothing is becoming looser and looser because it shows real progress is being made with your personal trainers, but there is no excuse for wearing clothing that hangs off your body in an unflattering manner. It&#8217;s very difficult to appreciate the changes in your body when you walk around feeling frumpy.</p>
<p>      Make it a point to hit up the thrift stores, yard sales and other secondhand retailers in your local community on a regular basis. As soon as one size starts to look sloppy it is time to find smaller sized clothing. Don&#8217;t forget smaller workout gear so you can show off your progress at the private personal training gyms!</p>
<p>      If you have friends that are smaller than you consider borrowing a few nice outfits along the journey. They may feel bad when you give the clothes back because they are now too big for you, but that will just make them want their own personal trainers!</p>
<p><em>Listen to Flattery</em></p>
<p>       Don&#8217;t get shy or blow off people who make flattering comments on your progress. Listen to what they are saying, hold your head high, and soak in the compliments. Allow their appreciation of your progress to boost your confidence.</p>
<p><em>Make It a Date</em>   </p>
<p>   Don&#8217;t get so sucked into working out at your private personal training gyms that you fail to live your life to the fullest extent possible. Make a list of things you would have never done at your largest size then get out there and start doing them as you lose the weight.</p>
<p>      Maybe you were too embarrassed to go out dancing when you weighed over 300 pounds, but there is no excuse not to get dressed up and dance the night away after losing 50 pounds, right? You will get the biggest confidence boost from doing things you would have shunned prior to hiring your personal trainers.</p>
<p><em>Scrap It Up</em>  </p>
<p>    Keep an ongoing scrapbook that shows your <a title="weight loss" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/why-calories-count-in-an-exercise-weight-loss-program/">weight loss</a> journey in pictures. Include a lot of journaling blocks where you can write how you feel and think at different stages of the journey. Make sure to include a two-page layout where you place side-by-side pictures from milestones along the way. This will give you a one-shot glance at the transformation your personal trainers are seeing.</p>
<p>      Finally, make sure to pay attention to the adjustments being made by your personal trainers. Part of the fun of attending private personal training gyms is having an expert make effective workout plans for you. Take note when your personal trainers add more weight to a particular movement or ask you to do something that you would have been unable to do when first walking into private personal training gyms.</p>

<p>Every day people come into our fitness boot camps for women full of excitement to start losing weight, getting healthier, and  seeing real changes in the shape of their bodies. They are all pumped and have  serious fitness plans all set. They are ready for action! So, why is it that  after a few sessions many of these women start to drop off, never to be seen  again?  Why is it that we get a surge of participants for our <a title="NYC Fitness Bootcamp" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/outdoor-women-fitness-boot-camp-new-york/" target="_blank">weight loss boot camps</a> around the turn of a new year when New Year&#8217;s resolutions are hot, but half of those new-recruits or less remain come  March or April?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because people have an uncanny knack of sabotaging their own fitness plans. Sometimes the sabotage starts from the moment  they set the plans in motion. As they walk into our fitness boot camps for women  full of hope and motivation, they are unknowingly working against themselves.  Let&#8217;s consider exactly how they sabotage themselves so you can avoid their mistakes at all costs.</p>
<p><strong>#1 Sabotage Sin:</strong> Their goals are unrealistic.</p>
<p>If you set goals that you cannot possibly reach you are setting yourself up for failure before you even take action to give it a  try. All too often we get new members in our fitness boot camps for women who  are just setting their goals too high. They are trying to push themselves to  the extremes to see fast results, but in the end they burn out before any  real progress can be made.  If you want to be successful with your fitness plan, make sure that your goals are realistic. It&#8217;s great to give yourself  something to reach for and really challenge yourself with, but make sure it is  possible to achieve your plan without killing yourself in the process or making  sacrifices you aren&#8217;t really ready to make.  <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>#2 Sabotage Sin: </strong>They get trapped in all-or-nothing thinking.</p>
<p>This is something else that becomes apparent with some people in our <a href="http://www.methodfitness.com/outdoor-women-fitness-boot-camp-new-york/">weight loss boot camps</a>. They think they have to do the  entire workout at top intensity, completing the most intense versions of every movement, or it isn&#8217;t worth attending. In their mind they have to go all  out and kill themselves or completely stay home. There is no middle ground.  There are going to be days when you just don&#8217;t want to attend a fitness boot camp for women. Some days you will be dragging  your feet as if they are made of lead, and that is okay. What&#8217;s important is that  you get to your <a title="weight loss" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/why-calories-count-in-an-exercise-weight-loss-program/">weight loss</a> boot camp regardless. It&#8217;s the discipline and  commitment of being there at all that counts on those rough days. If you stay home  because you can&#8217;t give it your all, it will only be harder to drag yourself  there the next day.  Remember, fitness is not an all-or-nothing plan. It&#8217;s a plan that requires just getting the job done whether your heart is in it  or not.  <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>#3 Sabotage Sin:</strong> They follow a great workout up with horrible foods.</p>
<p>Attending <a href="http://www.methodfitness.com/outdoor-women-fitness-boot-camp-new-york/">fitness boot camps for women</a> is an awesome thing for your body, but if you are eating a greasy McMuffin on your way to  the workout or filling up at the buffet later in the day, you are holding  your body back. You are undoing much of the progress that was made toward a  healthier body. You are making it more difficult for your body to move through the  next boot camp.</p>

								</div><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-514" title="How to Motivate Yourself for an After-Work Workout" src="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/How-to-Motivate-Yourself-for-an-After-Work-Workout-300x199.jpg" alt="How to Motivate Yourself for an After-Work Workout" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<p>It is incredibly difficult to get yourself to workout after a hard day of work or dealing with the children, but what if it is the only realistic time you have to burn some calories and get rid of that extra flab? Personal trainers hear all the excuses and understand all the dilemmas from clients complaining about evening workout schedules and trying to explain away missed sessions.</p>
<p>The difficulties trying to get yourself to actually workout in the evening are completely understandable, but they don&#8217;t have to ruin your efforts to lose weight, tone up, or otherwise improve your life and your body. The following are some basic tips to help get your body in motion for that after-work workout!</p>
<p>Make it Routine</p>
<p>If you do the same thing at the same time day after day, it will eventually become routine. You will start to do it without thinking much about it, which means doing it without excuses! If you can determine a specific time that you will workout after work and do it daily for a solid week it will start to feel a bit like second nature. Do it for two weeks straight and you will feel it is routine and the excuses should be out the door.</p>
<p>Join a <a title="Personal Training" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/healthy-benefits-of-personal-training-in-nyc/">Personal Training</a> Gym in NYC</p>
<p>Personal training gyms in NYC are different from regular gyms because all members come in to work with personal trainers for scheduled appointments. Since you actually have a <a title="personal trainer" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/5-super-benefits-of-core-exercises/">personal trainer</a> waiting for you to show up you can&#8217;t easily tell yourself that you&#8217;ll &#8220;just go tomorrow.&#8221; You have paid for the sessions. Your personal trainers are waiting for you. There is more incentive to show up! When you join a personal training gym in NYC you are guaranteeing that you will workout after work at least a couple days a week. You will still be able to workout from home on other days, if not having to travel is easier for you.</p>
<p>Make it Fun</p>
<p>Exercise doesn&#8217;t have to be boring or difficult. If you find something that you really enjoy doing it will be much easier to make yourself do it. Spend some time trying out different workout tapes or head to the gym and try out all the different equipment. If you can afford to hire a personal trainer for just one session they will be able to introduce you to a variety of different workout options that you might enjoy.Try out some group exercise classes. Go for an outdoor fitness boot camp class in NYC one night and Pilates or yoga the next. You never know what you will find enjoyable until you try it.</p>
<p>Reward Yourself</p>
<p>Set small rewards that can be collected after each full week of exercising every evening consistently. Try to make the rewards fitness related, such as a new pair of cross trainer shoes, workout clothes, or a new fitness DVD.</p>
<p>Out of all these recommendations, joining a personal training gym in NYC so you have access to skilled personal trainers is the best one. Not only does this help get you out the door for your after-work workout, but it ensures that your workouts are going to be effective so you really see results. Seeing those changes in your body will serve as constant motivation to keep you going for those after-work sessions!</p>

								</div><p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-506" title="Five Great Reasons to Hire a Personal Trainer in NYC" src="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Five-Great-Reasons-to-Hire-a-Personal-Trainer-in-NYC.jpg" alt="Five Great Reasons to Hire a Personal Trainer in NYC" width="283" height="424" /></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">It seems like half of NYC is working with <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>in one way or another these days. Some workout with their favorite <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>through fitness boot camps in NYC or at their homes with In Home Personal Trainers in NYC, while others are members of Private <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><a title="Personal training" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/healthy-benefits-of-personal-training-in-nyc/">Personal training</a> gyms in NYC</span></strong> where you have to be connected to at least one trainer just to become a member.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Why is this? What drives so many people to pay <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>when they could just workout by themselves in an ordinary gym?</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">#1: You are more likely to workout if someone is waiting at the gym for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Most people who workout in ordinary gyms don&#8217;t actually workout half the time they say they are going to! They have no one holding them accountable and most people will flake out on themselves when they would never do it to someone else. It&#8217;s sad, but it is a fact of human nature.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Think back to the last time you skipped a workout. Yes, you were tired or had a bad day at work or the weather was horrible outside and it was too much of an effort to go tot the gym. That is understandable, but would you have gotten up and done the workout anyway if you knew a <a title="personal trainer" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/5-super-benefits-of-core-exercises/">personal trainer</a> was waiting for you at the gym?</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">You are more likely to stand yourself up than you are to stand someone else up, so <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>are great tools just to get your butt to the gym in the first place.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> #2: Working out with someone else is more fun.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Why do you see so many people in gyms working out with their iPods? Workouts just get boring without someone else to talk to and coach you through. Plus, many of them are spending way too much time just walking on a treadmill or circles around a track. If they had <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>they would be doing more exciting things and would have a companion. The workout wouldn&#8217;t be boring, even without their music!</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">If you can find a <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainer </span></strong>that you really connect with, even the most intense workouts can be tons of fun.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">#3: You don&#8217;t have to wonder if what you are doing is intense enough for your goals.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Since you don&#8217;t have the expertise, knowledge and experience that <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>have, you are always wondering if your exercise plan is enough. If you aren&#8217;t seeing results you wonder what you need to do to change that. If you are seeing some results you wonder what can be done to intensify the results even more.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">That is where <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>come in handy. When you attend a private personal training gym in NYC or hire a <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainer in NYC </span></strong>they know how to get the results. They have the knowledge to answer those questions and make you successful.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">#4: You will be pushed much harder than you could ever push yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Let&#8217;s just face it. Most of us are wimps when it comes to feeling our pulse throb between our ears and the sweat flooding from our pores. <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers </span></strong>will always push you harder than you push yourself. That&#8217;s why they get the results you can&#8217;t get by yourself!</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> #5: Your results will be downright addicting.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In the end, you will be glad you hired one of our <strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Personal Trainers in NYC </span></strong>because the changes you see in your body will be nothing short of amazing. The results can be addicting, so watch out! </span></p>

								</div><p> <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-486" title="Top 6 Personal Trainer in New York City Recommended." src="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Top-6-Personal-Trainer-in-New-York-City-Recommended.-200x300.jpg" alt="Top 6 Personal Trainer in New York City Recommended." width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p>The core of your body includes not only your abdominals, but your back and pelvic region as well. The reason why the best personal trainers in NYC often focus on strengthening these muscles is because every movement that you make throughout your lifetime will depend on strength in the core. Stronger core muscles reduce your risk of injuring your back or hips during every day activities, through exercise, or when participating in sports and other activities.</p>
<p>The following are the top 6 core exercises often used by personal trainers to strengthen the core.</p>
<p>1. Plank</p>
<p>Go into push up position with arms bent at 90 degrees and flat on the ground. Make sure arms are parallel to each other and shoulder width apart. Make sure your elbows are in line with shoulders and prevent your buttocks from pushing up toward the ceiling. Your weight should balance on your toes and arms with your body in one straight line. For an easier modified version some personal trainers may allow you to lower your knees to the ground.</p>
<p>2. Superman</p>
<p>Lie on your stomach with your legs together and arms stretched out above your head straight. Lift arms and legs all up together, arching your back to bring them up. Hold for a few seconds and then lower to the ground and repeat.</p>
<p>3. Swimmers</p>
<p>Lay face down on the floor and raise opposite arm and leg up at the same time. Hold for a few seconds then lower and repeat with the other arm and leg. Keep your head in a comfortable position and don&#8217;t strain to raise it with your limbs. Personal trainers will often combine this movement with the superman pose.</p>
<p>4. Ab Twists</p>
<p>Stand up straight and hold your arms out at your sides. You can also do this one holding a large exercise ball in your arms in front of you. Twist from the waist, bringing one arm all the way over to meet the other arm (second arm doesn&#8217;t move) and then rotate back in the other direction. If using a ball, simply twist it side to side with the movement coming from the waist. Your hips should remain stable throughout the movement.</p>
<p>5. Ball Crunches</p>
<p>You can do standard crunches on the floor, but it is a lot safer and more comfortable to perform them on an exercise ball. Lay across the ball to perform regular crunches with hands on your temples so that your don’t pull on your  neck. Focus on working your ab muscles.</p>
<p>6. Unstable Motions</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a trick that personal trainers use but which most people never think of doing. You can build up strength in your core while strengthening other areas of the body if you stand on an unstable surface while doing it. For instance, you can do bicep curls with dumbbells while standing on a Bosu ball or push-ups with one arm up on a higher surface. These movements put your body off center and your core muscles will have to work to keep you stable.</p>
<p>These exercises should get you started toward your personal fitness goals, but there are many secrets of <a title="personal training" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/healthy-benefits-of-personal-training-in-nyc/">personal training</a> that can only be discovered by working with a <a title="personal trainer" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/5-super-benefits-of-core-exercises/">personal trainer</a>. If you want to see real changes in your body in as little time as possible, consult with one of our top personal trainers at our private personal training gym in NYC for more info.</p>

<p>Summer is on its way and you&#8217;re desperate to tone up your muscles and get that definition going . Besides enlisting the help of our top personal trainers in NYC, what can you do to make sure you have the best bod on the beach or sunning by the pool?</p>
<p>It actually doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult to tone up for fun in the sun. Consider these five tips from some of the best personal trainers in NYC, all of which can easily be implemented into a busy lifestyle.</p>
<p>#1: Never just sit there.</p>
<p>If you have a job that requires you to sit at a desk most of the day, vow never to just sit there for more than an hour at a time&#8230;and no, typing on the keyboard doesn&#8217;t count! If you have a private office you can get up and do some simple strengthening moves such as tricep dips off the edge of your chair or table (make sure it&#8217;s sturdy!). At the very least get up and walk around the office a little every hour to keep your body from getting stiff.</p>
<p>You can also use a Physio ball or Swiss ball as a chair instead of a regular office chair ( see above picure.) This will allow you to engage your core muscles while you&#8217;re working.</p>
<p>At home, you can do push-ups, squats, crunches, and butt raises while watching TV. Vow to do something to reach your goals during every commercial break.</p>
<p>#2: Don&#8217;t downplay the importance of weight training.</p>
<p>Many people looking to tone up or get better definition in their muscles often downplay the importance of weight lifting circuit workouts. Such as a circuit of lunges, chest presses, and bicep curls. Many of these exercises burn off <a title="fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">fat</a> even after you have finished your workout.</p>
<p>Remember, you have to get rid of the fatty layers covering your muscles before you will actually be able to see them. If you are already at a healthy weight and just need to tone up some, weight training will help keep you from gaining fat by increasing your metabolism.</p>
<p>#3: Skip the sugary treats and stick with veggies and lean protein.</p>
<p>Foods and treats loaded in sugar are more likely to be stored directly as fat since they process through the body so fast and are less likely to be burnt off before they are deposited in your fat cells for storage.</p>
<p>Instead, stick with lean proteins and low starch unprocessed carbohydrates. Salads with grilled chicken, turkey or fish are great as the weather gets warmer.</p>
<p>#4: Eat every four hours or so.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t go for long periods of time between meals as your metabolism will drop, you will burn less fat, and you will be so hungry by the time you do eat that you are more likely to eat unhealthy foods that are easier to grab. Keep some healthy snacks on hand such as raw veggies with humus or red apples with raw almonds when you are away from home so you will not get so hungry and be tempted to make a bad choice.</p>
<p>#5: Try one of our top personal trainers here in NYC.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re just starting out on your <a title="weight loss" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/why-calories-count-in-an-exercise-weight-loss-program/">weight loss</a> journey it is hard to imagine what could lie ahead for you. Trying to imagine yourself at your goal weight is a great exercise for motivation, but if you have a lot of weight to lose it can be difficult to really imagine yourself thin. Yet, with the help of a top <a title="personal trainer" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/08/5-super-benefits-of-core-exercises/">personal trainer</a> and a sharp focus on <a title="fat" href="http://www.methodfitness.com/blog/2009/09/how-to-lose-fat-in-the-thigh-area/">fat</a> reduction, you will get there!</p>
<p>No matter what your reasons for hiring a personal trainer may be, here are some things you can look forward to on this journey:</p>
<p> #1: Your self-confidence will increase.</p>
<p>One of the things personal trainers notice after working with a client for awhile is that they gradually become more confident in their abilities. One may walk in with their eyes to the floor on the first session but within a month they are walking with their head held high. That confidence comes from the sharp focus on reducing body fat which allows you to meet goals and prove to yourself what you are really capable of.</p>
<p> #2: A change in how others perceive you.</p>
<p>If you have a lot of weight to lose, be prepared for the way other people perceive you to change. Members of the opposite sex will start to notice you more and your friends will be proud and simultaneously jealous. Those who thought you were a weak overweight person will start to think of you as a strong, new person. This part of the weight loss process can be a bit scary, but keep working with your personal trainer and keep that focus. Show the world what you are made of!</p>
<p>#3: Ease of movement throughout your daily life.</p>
<p>The work that you do with your personal trainers will make it much easier to move around in your daily life. For instance, sitting on the floor to play with your child will not leave you wondering how you will get back up. When you have to walk all day around an amusement park you won&#8217;t be out of breath, lacking in energy, or wishing you could just sit down for awhile. As you focus on eliminating the fat and improving cardiovascular fitness you will develop more lean muscle tone and your body will become more flexible. You will be able to move easily and your energy levels will increase.</p>
<p>#4: You will fit more comfortably into clothing of your choice.</p>
<p>Practically everyone who has a weight problem has dealt with circumstances where they couldn&#8217;t fit comfortably into clothing they really wanted to purchase. Shopping may be an uncomfortable experience for you right now, but it is something you may just love after working with a personal trainer for awhile. As you get closer to the weight your body really wants to be you will have a wider variety of clothing options and will not be held to purchasing what will fit. You will purchase what you want!</p>
<p> #5: You will have less worry over disease.</p>
<p>One of the biggest reasons people hire a personal trainer is because they have been diagnosed as a diabetic or a doctor has told them to focus on fat reduction or otherwise they are headed for a serious disease. Your health is by far the most important reason to hire a personal trainer. They can help you drastically lower your chances of diabetes, heart disease, many forms of cancer, and a variety of other diseases.</p>
