All things health and fitness http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/ Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:40:00 +0000 Here you are, a month and a half into your New Year's Resolutions. How are they going? On an earlier post I talked about setting small goals and using those goals to keep you on track to your long term goals. So, are you on track with where you should be after a month and a half? Here is an example. If you wanted to work out 40 times in three months you should have worked out 20 times or more already to ensure that you are on track. http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/the-grind/ http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/the-grind/ Mon, 9 Jan 2012 20:25:00 +0000 Okay, so most everyone has that one wonderful New Year's resolution. Well for most of us they are a shot in the dark, a good thought of how to improve ourselves and make this new year better than the last. If you have had problems achieving these resolutions in the past it is not necessarily because you are not committed or a bad person. It is most likely because you need help with setting a proper goal. http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/new-year-new-goals/ http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/new-year-new-goals/ Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:12:00 +0000 Thanksgiving is upon us! A day to give thanks for the many blessings that we have, to enjoy time spent with friends and family and to stuff our pie holes with lots of... well, pie. And turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green bean casserole, jello and many more of our traditional foods. Before I decided to write this post on how you can walk away from this food battle unscathed, I thought about why this holiday has become synonymous with stuffing yourself silly?!? http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/tips-to-not-feel-like-a-turkey-on-thanksgiving-day/ http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/tips-to-not-feel-like-a-turkey-on-thanksgiving-day/ Wed, 9 Nov 2011 21:32:00 +0000 Before I tell you who the winner is, I want to tell you about our awards ceremony that took place 2 weeks ago (been too busy to write about it until now, sorry). It was an awesome event. We had bootcamp, small group training and one on one training clients as well as friends and family. The awards ceremony was to celebrate the past year and our first year at our new location as well as to celebrate the winners of our 8 week Body Balance Challenge. We celebrated with a healthy chili cook off competition and awards ceremony. http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/and-the-devetter-fitness-client-of-the-year-is/ http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/and-the-devetter-fitness-client-of-the-year-is/ Mon, 7 Nov 2011 8:12:00 +0000 Today I'd like to give you a little information on how your body gets energy when you are exercising. As a trainer, I think people benefit from knowing the basics of exercise physiology. http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/the-physiology-of-exercise-where-do-we-get-our-energy-during-a-workout/ http://devetterfitness.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/the-physiology-of-exercise-where-do-we-get-our-energy-during-a-workout/
