Have you ever watched the red carpet thing before an awards show? All the beautiful people in their lovely clothes? They have one thing in common. They might have deplorable dress sense, which is scary because someone is being paid to dress them, they might have no realization of what makes shoes a dream, but what they do have, men and women alike, is spectacular posture. If you want to look somewhere between 5 and 10 pounds lighter immediately, stand up straight. If you don't believe it, stand in front of a full-length mirror, drop your shoulders and straighten you spine. You just grew two inches and your 'friend' in the middle there - bought and paid for - just took a small backward step. Learning to stand up straight, especially if you haven't since puberty is shockingly hard. Pilates Bronx   is a great way of starting out. By the way, the takeaway from here is that posture is essential. People who slouch around are already seen as apologizing for thems

Muscle mass is one of those terms which is a bit scary when you first come across it. Unless you're in with the in crowd, whoever they might be in this case, you might not even know what muscle mass really is, much less why you might want some. Isn't muscle mass what bodybuilders have?  Well, yes and no. It turns out that it isn't quite as simple as that. As we all get older when need our bodies to last longer than our predecessors did. Life expectancy 100 years ago was twenty-two years shorter than it is now. Those years are not being tacked on at the beginning but at the end! Any personal trainer in New York City is going to tell you that whatever work you put in now is going to make a difference in the long run.

Pilates is an amazing exercise for various reasons, but one of the reasons it stands out is its focus on the core. Fitness enthusiasts that have been looking for ways to improve their core muscles and increase strength, striving for that six pack, may find Pilates a worthwhile addition to their exercise routine. Let’s look at why Pilates results in great results for your core muscles and overall fitness. Every Exercise Uses Core Muscles It may seem impossible, but each and every Pilates exercise uses the core muscles. Even moves that stretch the body emphasize using the core in some way, whether it is used directly or to support you while moving and performing exercises. No matter what exercise you’re doing, the core is being engaged even if it isn’t the main muscle being worked. All Core Muscles Are Engaged Incorporating a Brooklyn Pilates class into their routine is not something most think of to improve the core, but Pilates is one of the best ways to build a

More and more people are getting into the practice of yoga for various reasons, whether it’s to improve flexibility or to slow the aging process. Exercise is important to having a healthy body along with a healthy mind, but doing yoga is a less vigorous way to improve the health of the brain and have a sound mind along with a strong core and muscles. Often, individuals that are new to the practice of yoga are surprised by just how much the mind and body are connected. However, this is a clear connection to those that have practicing yoga for years. Because the practice is centered around breathing and moving into various poses, called postures, practitioners practice mindfulness and gain mental clarity with regular sessions. Tree Pose Tree pose is a move that beginners can do at the very start of their yoga practice, though you can work with a Chelsea yoga instructor if you are unsure of where to begin on your own or if you’d like someone to help guide your practice.

One of the first questions people ask when starting a new training regimen, diet, or wellness program is how long it will take for the results to begin showing. However, the question is not always easy to answer. Every individual is different, so you may see your results sooner or later than someone else. In general, results from a training regimen will be noticeable in about two weeks. Often, the first noticeable improvements involve better posture and muscle gain. It’s important to remember, though, that this is a theoretical generalization that does not apply to everyone. Many factors impact your workout as well as your results, so there is a lot of wiggle room when it comes to how long you’ll have to wait to see a change in your body. How to Speed Up Results Even though you want to see changes as soon as possible, any Chappaqua personal trainer will warn you of the dangers of weight loss that is too rapid. Many people decide to cut calories to speed up their resu

There comes a time - often when you see someone else doing it - that you think “I could do that!” You are watching someone who is maybe a little (or a lot) overweight, and they are out there running a marathon or taking an active part in a spin class. The leaders have left them for dust, they are struggling, but they are there putting one foot in front of the other, and you think 'well if they can do it...' and your decision to take it to the next level just happened. But how do you go about it? It depends on what you need to do. If you're looking to get stronger overall, you might think about stepping out of the box a little and considering one of the martial arts. A martial arts personal trainer in New York will explain how martial arts is a great preparation for almost every other sport.  Think of the sudden explosive movements so common to all the arts - does that remind anyone about the burst of energy to get you out of the blocks on race day? Another th

You don’t need to have the six-pack look to have a strong chest. But even if you don’t want the look, there are still a lot of advantages to having a strong chest. The truth is you really can’t have a strong chest without having a generally strong upper body. But there’s a huge benefit to having both. One of the things a strong chest will give you is better posture, and posture is one of the basics of health and fitness. We have all seen people with bad posture slouching around, and in this day of permanent computer use, it is hard to sit up or stand up straight. But with a strong chest it is so much easier to have good posture. It’s actually a self-fulfilling prophesy: if you have a strong chest you will stand up straighter. Chappaqua personal trainers   will help you remember that strengthening the chest without also working on the back could leave you bending forward. Balance is essential. A trainer will give you a series of balanced exercises which will help you dev
