Hello Upward Motion Family,   


The summer is slowly coming to an end, we hope you're all doing really well and enjoying the time with your family. School is starting up, so we know everyone's schedules are getting pretty hectic, but once the kids are back in school, hopefully you'll have more time on your hands! We'd love to see you in the studio for group classes and some one on one training. If you've never been in, don't hesitate to give us a call and get an initial consultation set up.

 

As some of you know we are doing a charity drive:

Eat This, Not That  

Pick: Energy Bar

Compare brands to keep your calories, fat and sugar intake in check. It would be best to keep your calories under 200, fat under 5g and 9g or more of protein.
Try: Luna Bars, Kashi Bars or Cliff Bars

Kick: Chocolate bars
There is a huge difference between the two of these. Choclate bars have very little, to know nutritional value at all.
In one hershey bar, there is 210 calories, 13 g of fat, 26 g of carbs, 3 g of protein and 24 g of sugar. This will give you the exact opposite of the energy bar, it will make your energy drop and make you crash.
Pick energy bars instead of chocolate :)

 

 

Mythbusters  

 It doesn't matter where your calories come from Calories are not created equal. First, some foods (in particular, proteins) take more energy to chew, digest, metabolize, and store than others. Others (such as fats and carbohydrates) require fewer calories to digest and store. Second, different food types have different effects on your blood sugar. Refined carbohydrates (think white bread, cookies, and fruit drinks) raise blood sugar levels dramatically, which encourages fat storage, weight gain, and hunger. Fibrous foods like apples, as well as proteins, raise blood sugar less, making them friendlier to your waistline. Finally, foods that contain a lot of water, such as vegetables and soup, tend to fill the belly on fewer calories, so you'll stop eating them way before you stop eating more calorie-dense foods.

Be Choosy About Carbs

Success Story: Cindy Seay

 

Cindy started with Bridget in early February of this year, she came in wanting to lose weight and tone up. She had a good idea of what to eat and what not to eat, but she wanted to someone to help keep her accountable and kick her butt. Cindy has come full circle, her diet has completely changed and it has become habit to her. She comes in twice a week ready to go and gives each workout 110%. Her measurments have changed drastically, she's lost a total of 15 pounds and looks absolutely fantastic. She is one of many who has really put their all into the process of exercise and eating right and it shows.

 

Keep up all your good work Cindy, we're all so proud of you! No stopping now!

 

Exercise of the Week  

Side Plank with Rotation

 

 

 

In a right-side plank position (A), brace your abs and reach your left hand toward the ceiling (B). Slowly tuck your left arm under your body and twist forward until your torso is almost parallel to the floor (C). Return to the side plank. That's 1 rep. Do 2 or 3 sets of 5 to 10 reps on each side, resting for 1 minute between sets.
