It has been proven over and over again that having a buddy in your weight loss or weight gain goals will increase your results immensely. So, how do you find one?
Well, Phoenix FitClub can help, or find a friend who has similar goals and keep in contact. Learn from each other, support each other and you will find that you stay motivated when someone is counting on you.
Science, engineered food, medicine and surgery can all help with your weight loss, but the most effective way is the way we preach here! Eating smaller meals more frequently, staying motivated through simple and effective exercise, getting as much support as you need, and having a place to go and learn about your body will set you on the right path. Whether it is with us or another provider, or your neighbour, you can do it!!

New Exercise Guideline In Place
The US National Academy Of Sciences has recommended that everyone get 60 minutes of exercise a day. 30 should be vigorous exercise and the other half normal house work and daily living activities.
Increasing exercise also suppresses your appetite and helps to curb cravings. Want some chocolate, go for a walk and see in 10 minutes if you still have that craving, most will not.
The Journal Of The American College of Nutrition also found that 10 minutes three times a day gave you similar benefits as 30 minutes all at once. Now there are no excuses, get your 10 minutes in...... right now!! You can do it!
As we all know unless you continue your nutritional plan and exercise plan, the weight will probably come back. Your body likes to be comfortable, so make it a life long plan. Crash diets and huge amounts of exercise will only lead to disaster and depression, so e-mail us today and let us help you stay fit for the rest of your life!

Breath Deeply, Breath Slowly
Slow, deep breathing for 5-20 minutes can stimulate your vagus nerve which promotes relaxation in the body. When life stresses you out, don't run for the candy.... run to a quiet place, sit down and breath.
Try it, it is certainly better than eating and calorie FREE!!

Staying Accountable : Your Food Journal
If you can't remember what you need to do next week, what do you do? WRITE IT DOWN! On a calendar or paper and stick it to the fridge. The same goes with your nutritional planning (remember Phoenix FitClub clients DO NOT say DIET!). Remember DIET is a bad word!!
Anyway, recording everything you eat keeps you accountable for what goes into your body! You will find you eat less and drink more water when you have written it down. It will make it easier to know what types of food you are putting into your body. Also, when allergies arrise you will be better able to pin point the problem, especially in children.
You may not realize that you are eating so much! On the other hand, you may not realize you are not eating enough! So, write it down, online or in a book and then send it to me and we can tweak and change what needs to be changed. You all have a goal for yourself and working together we can get you to that point faster.
You can do it!!
