Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors Benefit from Strength Training and Cardio Exercises with Morris County NJ Fitness Trainer

Breast cancer patients and survivors can recover from treatments faster and improve their health by proper strength training and supervised exercises with certified personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang in Morris County, New Jersey.

Diagnosed and treated with breast cancer is a devastating experience. Breast cancer patients and survivors may be feeling down and out. “By proper strength training and supervised exercise with a certified personal trainer, cancer patients can recover faster can cancer survivors can improve their health,” says Carey Yang, Morris County NJ #1 in-home personal trainer.

Current research provides promising evidence that exercise training is a well-tolerated and safe intervention that can mitigate several common treatment-related side effects, including fatigue, deconditioning, nausea, anxiety, and loss of muscle strength.

Over the past decade, exercise has emerged as an integral aspect of cancer survivorship and preventing or treating the late effects of therapy. Similar to during therapy, clinical trials in this setting have provided strong evidence that exercise is a well-tolerated and safe intervention associated with significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors.

Several landmark observational studies have provided the first evidence that regular exercise (such as brisk walking for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) is associated with 15 percent to 61 percent reductions in the risk of mortality following a diagnosis of early-stage breast or colorectal cancer, relative to survivors who were inactive.

It is becoming increasingly evident that sedentary behavior and decreased exercise levels following a cancer diagnosis can increase treatment-related toxicities, whereas engaging in regular exercise can significantly reduce the incidence and extent of such toxicities.

The field of exercise oncology is rapidly evolving with many unanswered questions. The current evidence base provides a clear indication that exercise is an additional powerful weapon in the fight against, and recovery from, cancer.

Dream Body Coach Helps Corporate Executives and Managers Lose Weight, Get in Shape

Denville, Morris County NJ personal trainer Carey Yang helps busy corporate executives and managers lose weight, stay fit and get in shape with on-site and in-home personal fitness training and coaching services.

In Home Personal Training for Corporate Couch Potatoes

“Don’t have time… too busy…tired all the time… meetings…traveling.. kids…don’t know what to do…don’t know what to eat…I’ve tried everything but they didn’t work, etc. You name it. It’s not your fault,” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

“We all are just so busy, work, family,kids, parents, or something, constantly on the go checking text messages, phone messages, and facebook messages. The world around us seems to be getting smaller and smaller. The distance between us seems to be far than ever before although connecting by computer networks,” Yang says.

Yang adds, I have been helping many busy corporate executives, managers and professionals overcome their excuses for not exercising, losing weight and getting in shape. On-site or in-home personal training is the best way to deliver such personal and customized fitness training and nutrition coaching services on demand.

In-home personal trainer travels to the client and trains in a private setting at a time of convenience to client. It saves travel time, excuses for not exercising, and distractions from training in public places. No gym membership is required. Personal training is recommended if you have orthopedic conditions, surgeries, medications, or other medical complication because you can work with a trainer at your fitness level and at your pace.

In-home personal fitness training is also great for stay-at-moms who can’t leave their small children, seniors who are not keen to driving, or people who are intimidated by going the gym.

Accountability and motivation is another plus in-home personal trainers bring to the program. People are all busy and distracted by many things. An in-home personal trainer would coaching, hold your hands through the journey, overcome any obstacles and keep you on track.

Hiring an in-home personal trainer is a significant investment in your health and fitness. By providing personalized programs that are convenient, consistent, and customized to your needs and goals, an in-home personal trainer will ensure that you get the return you are looking for in less time and with less frustration than trying to do it on your own.

“You don’t have to do it alone. In-home personal trainers can help you, support you and train you.” Yang says.

Morris County NJ Personal Trainer Helps Weekend Athletes Recover from Injuries and Improve Performance

Denville, Morris County NJ celebrity fitness trainer Carey Yang is committed to helping weekend athletes recover from injuries and improve their sports performance.

Many modern busy people only have time exercising on the weekends. They tend to overwork their body and get hurt. They end up spending more time recovering and training.

“I get asked by many people as to how a personal trainer can help them as weekend athletes to achieve their fitness goals. Most real-life working people simply don’t have time to go to gym six days a week, two hours each time. But they still want to stay fit and play their sports or games on weekends (tennis, golf, basketball, softball, ice hockey, etc.) and enjoy their lives,” Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

Many people are wondering if they should rest or work through while recovering from prior injury and surgery.

“This is a very common concern as most of us still live on some kind of old injury or recover from a new one. It depends on the severity and history of your injury. First, I’ll get your medical history and doctor’s report for evaluation. It’s a must if you had a surgery. If your condition is still beyond my scope, I’ll refer you to proper healthcare professionals. Otherwise, I may need your doctor’s clearance to start post-rehab exercises. Like many patients or clients today, they don’t stay in physical therapy for long due to insurance, cost and limitation. They start to look for personal trainers or specialists with post-rehab conditioning experience,” Yang says.

Yang adds, the post-rehab conditioning program will address the root causes of the injury and possibly its related area, or weak area in opposing muscle groups/joints. The goals are typically to regain functional strength, restore full range of motion (flexibility), correct imbalance and improve joint stabilization. Proper modifications to a typical exercise program are necessary to suit your special conditions. Your individualized program will change up and modify as you make progress. I’ll teach you proper forms, techniques, biomechanics to prevent from relapse or new injury.

Hiring an in-home personal trainer is a significant investment in your health and fitness. By providing personalized programs that are convenient, consistent, and customized to your needs and goals, an experienced personal trainer will ensure that you get the return you are looking for in less time and with less frustration than trying to do it on your own.

Why In-Home Personal Fitness Training is the Best and Most Effective Solution for Weight Loss

Denville, Morris County, NJ based personal trainer and owner of Beyond Fitness Solutions Carey Yang explains why in-home personal fitness training is most effective and the best investment to get results for fitness, wellness and weight loss.

For millions of Americans who suffer from perpetual weight-loss disorder, in-home personal training could be the solution. “What I mean by perpetual weight-loss disorder is that year after year, people vow to join the gym to exercise and go on diet to lose weight, their actions shut down immediately after they shut their mouths,” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

“Unfortunately, they’re partially to blame. The society is also responsible for brain-washing the mass,” Yang says. “These days, we have more information, faster and instant information, pushing to our smartphones that we rarely stay in one place or do and complete one thing at a time. We’re constantly bombarded and overwhelmed with the next new, hot and best things coming to us. It’s the same as in fitness and weight loss industry. There is always next best workout, diet, supplement, gadget promising revolutionary, amazing, quick results.”

Yang explains why in-home personal fitness training is an alternative solution to the gym, group or boot-camp class.

Personal fitness training refers to one-on-one private training. You get personal attention and a customized training program with a fitness trainer just for you and for your special needs at a convenient time to you. Training can take place in any open space–your home, home gym, club house gym, fitness center or gym–that both of you have access to. This is truly “personal” training instead of doing similar exercises together with a group of 5 to 30 plus people who have different levels of fitness and goals.

In-home personal fitness training is also great for busy executives, stay-at-moms who can’t leave their small children, seniors who are not keen to driving, or people who are intimidated by going the gym.

An alternative to one-on-one private training is Partner Training or semi-private training where two people train together, share the same session, and share the cost. It may work for some people but not for others, depending on your location, schedules, fitness levels, individual goals, and the trainer’s skills.

Morris County NJ Personal Trainer Debunks Myths about Personal Fitness Training and Boot Camp Class

Morris County NJ-based personal trainer and owner of Beyond Fitness Solutions Carey Yang sets the record straight about personal fitness training compared to group or boot camp style classes in terms of benefits, values, time and cost.

Despite of seemingly popularity of personal fitness training from the Biggest Loser TV show and Hollywood celebrities in recent years, there appears misunderstanding and myths about who a personal trainer is, how personal trainers do their job and get paid, and who a personal trainer is for.

“The most common question is about the rate – how much do you charge?” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

“Unfortunately, the answer to this point-blank general question is not as straightforward as you may think as each industry is different in how it works and its pay standard,” Yang says.

Yang adds, I understand that people are shopping around but they tend to compare the wrong things on the wrong basis. I want to the set the record straight about personal fitness training in comparison with group or boot-camp style classes.

Group or boot-camp style classes are held at a certain set schedule in places that you have to travel to. You join 5 to 30+ other people doing similar exercises as a group. You reap the benefits of group dynamics and team spirit at a lower cost ($15-$25 per hour session). However, you don’t get personalized attention and customized programs for your special needs and schedule. Training may not be as effective (too aggressive or too easy) since you’re mixing with different people of different ages, fitness levels, and goals. Travel time and schedules can become all-too-common excuses for many busy people to slack off.

Personal fitness training refers to one-on-one private training. You get personal attention and a customized training program with a fitness trainer just for you and for your special needs at a convenient time to you. Training can take place in any open space–your home, home gym, club house gym, fitness center or gym–that both of you have access to. Since it’s one-on-one training, you would invest more–typically $55 to $95 per hour session (in Northern NJ areas) depending on your location, training frequency, training program length, pre-negotiated package, and the trainer’s experience.

In-home personal training is particularly attractive and popular since the trainer travels to you and trains with you in a private setting at a time of convenience to you. It saves your travel time, excuses for not exercising, and distractions from training in public places. No gym membership is required. Personal training is recommended if you have orthopedic conditions, surgeries, medications, or other medical complication because you can work with a trainer at your fitness level and at your pace.

In a final word, don’t look at just the per-session cost but rather the “total” time and energy spent to receive effective training results. You have to evaluate many factors and see which one is best for you and whether you like it or not. The “best” program is the one that you will do it no matter how “cheap” it is. It’s your body. Don’t cheapen it.

The Top 10 Diet Foods to Shape Up Your Dream Body

Avocados
The cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat in these green health bombs can help keep your body strong and pain free. University of Buffalo researchers found that competitive women runners who ate less than 20 percent fat were more likely to suffer injuries than those who consumed at least 31 percent. Peter J. Horvath, Ph.D., a professor at the university, speculates that the problem is linked to extreme low-fat diets, which weaken muscles and joints. "A few slices of avocado a day are a great way to boost fat for women who are fat shy," says Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Bananas
Thanks to bananas' high potassium content, peeling one is a speedy solution to that stitch in your side. While a lack of sodium is the main culprit behind muscle cramps, studies show potassium plays a supporting role: You need it to replace sweat losses and help with fluid absorption. Bananas are also packed with energizing carbohydrates. One medium-size fruit has 400 milligrams of potassium and as many carbs (29 grams) as two slices of whole-wheat bread.

Berries
USDA researchers recently placed fresh berries on their list of the 20 foods richest in antioxidants. Just a handful of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries is an excellent source of these potent nutrients, which protect muscles from free radical damage that might be caused by exercise. Shop for berries by the shade of their skin: The deeper the color, the healthier the fruit.

Carrots
Close your eyes and they almost taste like crunchy candy. Carrots pack complex carbs that provide energy to muscles and potassium to control blood pressure and muscle contractions, says Leslie Bo.

Whole Grain Cereal
Looking for something to nosh before you hit the gym? Raid your cereal stash. The healthiest brands contain endurance-boosting complex carbs and muscle-building protein. Sixty minutes before a workout, fuel up with a 200-calorie snack: ¾ cup of whole-grain cereal with 4 ounces of fat-free milk. "When you eat something before exercising, you have more energy, so you can work out harder and perhaps longer. And you'll be less likely to overeat afterward," says Leslie Bonci, R.D.

Chicken Thighs
Skimp on iron and zinc and your energy will flag. Cooking up some juicy chicken thighs or turkey drumsticks is the best way to get more of both. "Dark-meat poultry is significantly lower in fat than red meat yet has all the iron, zinc, and B vitamins that women need in their diets," says Seattle sports nutritionist Susan Kleiner, Ph.D., author of Power Eating.

Hummus
Complex carbohydrates, protein, and unsaturated fats—all the right elements to fuel activity—meet in one healthy little 70-calorie, 3-tablespoon package. Plus, hummus is often made with olive oil, which contains oleic acid—a fat that helps cripple the gene responsible for 20 to 30 percent of breast cancers, according to Northwestern University researchers.

Eggs
Don't skip the yolk. One egg a day supplies 215 milligrams of cholesterol—not enough to push you over the 300-milligram daily cholesterol limit recommended by the American Heart Association. Plus, the yolk is a good source of iron, and it's loaded with lecithin, critical for brain health, says nutritionist Susan Kleiner, Ph.D. What does brain power have to do with exercise? Try doing a sun salutation without it.

Chocolate Milk
There's way more to milk than just calcium. In fact, it's a damn near perfect food, giving you a lot of valuable energy while keeping your calorie count low, says nutritionist Susan Kleiner, Ph.D. The chocolate kind is loaded with calcium, vitamins, and minerals just like the plain stuff, but new studies confirm that milk with a touch of cocoa is as powerful as commercial recovery drinks at replenishing and repairing muscles.

Salmon
Great for heart health, but here's an added twist: New studies are suggesting that monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fats might help lessen abdominal fat. It's too soon to understand the link, but "this could be particularly good for women working to tone their core," says nutritionist Susan Kleiner, Ph.D.

Inspiring Body Transformation Success Story with Dream Body Coach Carey Yang

40 is the new 30. More and more 40 years-old want to lose weight, build lean muscle, and get in great shape. With busy modern work and lifestyle, many turn to in-home personal trainer such as Carey Yang, based on Denville, Morris County, New Jersey, to help them, motivate them, and keep them on track.

"I definitely see a uptick in my business in the last few years as more and more people of 40, 50 or 60 years old or older contact me to help them lose weight, tone up muscles and get in good shape...And most importantly of all, to keep them healthy," says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC -- a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

Here is an inspiring weight loss success story.

"Working with Carey has helped me drop 25 pounds of weight (fat), gain lean muscle mass and get in shape. I couldn’t have achieved these goals by myself. More importantly, I have more energy, feel better about myself and I look better. Carey has educated me in proper diet and regular exercise to get amazing results. I watch closely what I eat and how much I eat. I learn from Carey that “I can’t train myself out of bad diet.” The best value of working with Carey is that he always challenges me and pushes me to lift more weight, do more reps & more sets, and spot me to squeeze that half rep – something I wouldn’t do by myself. I recommend Carey as your personal trainer when you’re ready to commit to yourself for the long haul."

No B.S. Guide to Summer Fat Loss Diet

Next to the holiday season, summer is by far the season when people want to lose weight, get lean and look good with shirts off by the swimming pool or beach. This can be relatively simple provided you follow a correct fat loss cutting diet.

Here are some of the facts that support fat loss during summer months. You will look good and beach body ready for the swimsuit season.

The heat: Summer is hot and the external heat is a natural thermogenic. People lose fat without any effort just because of the eat.

The sweat: You sweat a lot in summer. This causes you to lose fat along with the sweat you’re losing.

Appetite suppression: People generally eat a lot during winter and automatically eat less during summer. This is because your body cant digest food too well because of the heat. So you naturally take in lower calories.

So what kind of diet are you supposed to follow to aid fat loss? Here are few simple guidelines for that.

Lose the carbs : Believe it or not its the carbs and not the fats that are responsible for fat gain. Excess carbs are converted to fat upon release of insulin. Reduce carbs to as low as you possibly can.

High protein : Eat a lot of protein. This builds up muscle and keeps you full. Proteins are the building blocks of your body and they build muscle. Make sure you get one gram per pound of body weight.

Eat essential fats : Fats are very important to the body because they are the raw materials to many hormones. Most important among these are a group of fats called the EFAs (Essential fatty acids) These comprise of Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Good sources for these are fats are Fish, nuts, olive oil etc.

Find the Gold Medal Olympian In You

The 30th Summer Olympic Games 2012 in London are in full swing. Olympic sports are showcase of athletic skills, competitive spirits and also nationalism, business and politics.

I have been watching swimming, gymnastics, indoor volleyball, beach volleyball among track and field and tennis. I like Taekwondo coming up soon.

These are world-class athletes in stunning record-setting performance pushing human potentials. Four years of preparation and trials finally pay off to land their shot at the game. The game is physically demanding as well as mentally and psychologically challenging.

We all are probably impressed by their performance and thinking that we can't possibly achieve that kind of performance - too old, too young, out of shape, lack of talent, too tall, too short, etc.

On the contrary, you find many athletes find the sports they excel at and train in that sport. Not every athlete is good at every sport. You simply have to find THE ONE just for you in power, strength, agility, endurance, and technical skills.

You can also find many athletes overcoming serious injuries, illness, and struggling. They are human beings. They are just like us. Their story from hitting lows then transforming into highs is something to motivates us and inspires us. Every can find their Olympic Champion and Gold Medalist in them.

Beyond physical training and excellence, Olympic Games also spreads the mission of Olympic Spirit:

"to build a peaceful and better world in the Olympic Spirit which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play - Olympic Spirit strives to inspire and motivate the youth of the world to be the best they can be through educational and entertaining interactive challenges. Olympic Spirit seeks to instill and develop the values and ideals of Olympism in those who visit and to promote tolerance and understanding in these increasingly troubled time in which we live, to make our world a more peaceful place."

Former Professional Football Player Trains with Dream Body Coach and NJ Best Personal Trainer Carey Yang

I recently have the opportunity to train a former semi-professional football player named Fred. Standing at 6 feet tall and over 300 lbs, Fred looked scary and intimidating to me when I first met him.

As we started to talk about his challenges, I realized that Fred is a good loving husband and father. Busy work and family schedule and prior knee injury were all his excuses for not going to the gym although it's only 2 miles drive across the street.

Lack of motivation is one of the reasons people are turning to personal trainers for help. Fred had made tremendous progress within a month, physically and mentally.

Here is the powerful testimonial from Fred:

My friends and family decided to chip in for my birthday present a personal trainer. As an athletic person entering his 40s, I was confident in the knowledge I had to train myself back into shape. Needless to say that Carey had an immediate impact not only in my weight loss, muscle build and areas worked, but his knowledge on nutrition as well. Carey’s training had me down 2 belt sizes within 3 weeks and ultimately taught me that there is always tons of information to be learned. I have improved my overall health, muscle to fat ratio and well being since I began with Carey. I’m so thankful to my friends and family for this experience, and ultimately to Carey himself. I have my swagger back! — Fred A., Wharton, NJ

7 Ways to Keep Your Cool Without Heat Exhaustion for Summer Workout

It’s been a unusually hot summer for most parts of U.S. Some 28 States have declared drought due to persistently hot temperature and lack of rain. Agriculture has suffered. You can expect higher prices for corn and soybean and their derived foods.

Health and fitness is a year-around life-long journey. But it doesn’t mean that you do the same things for every season all year around. Take consideration of summer slowdown and vacation.

Exercises in hot weather put extra load on your body and cardiovascular system. You should caution with your workout intensity and duration and make sure to hydrate accordingly.

The combination of heat, heavy perspiration, and inadequate fluid intake takes away your body’s ability to cool itself and your internal temperature starts to rise, sometimes as high as 104˚F. The symptoms are similar to the onset of shock: You feel dizzy, nauseated, or worried. You could have a headache and/or a fast heartbeat.

Here are a few useful tips on how to beat summer heat and avoid heat exhaustion.

Just Get Out of the Heat

The obvious answer, but people often ignore it. You need shade or air-conditioning. And after you feel better, know that returning to the sun even hours later can spur a relapse. Be careful.

Drink Cold Fluids

Drinking cold water and sports drinks not only works well for fast hydration, but also will help lower your internal temperature.

Get Wet

Cold water on the skin is a big help. Cold water on the skin in front of a fan is even better. Spray it on, drizzle it over your head and neck, or wipe yourself down with cold, wet towels.

Check Your Weight

If you train in hot weather, weigh yourself before and after a workout to see how much water weight you’ve lost. Then replenish. The next day, weigh yourself again before the workout—and every day thereafter. If your weight doesn’t return to your original number or drops further, you may be slowly dehydrating yourself. Make sure you drink enough fluids that your urine runs clear.

Keep Your Shirt On

You pick up more radiant heat exposure with your shirt off. Once you perspire, a shirt can act as a cooling device when the when the wind blows on the wet material.

Stay Away from Alcohol

A good summer workout, or even a long round of golf in the sun, may make you feel that it’s time for a beer afterward. Watch it. Alcohol dehydrates you and can make even mild heat exhaustion worse. Hydrate first, celebrate later. (And even when you’re feeling hydrated, some brews are better than others.

Mind Your Meds

Certain medications, such as diuretics, blood pressure medicines, allergy meds, cough and cold medicines, can decrease the body’s ability to regulate its temperature, increasing your risk. If you have to be on any of those, consider exercising in air-conditioning.

Can FDA Approved Diet Drug Belviq Claim Victory Against Obesity?

OMG! There comes another big promise from the big pharma and government to save the overweight and obese Americans.

FDA just approved another new diet pill for doctors to prescribe to obese patients.

There is the news article from New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/28/health/diet-drug-gains-fda-endorsement.html

The new drug is called Belviq.

The FDA had denied approval for this drug in 2010 when scientist showed concerns that the drug may actually cause tumors in people.

Tumors!

The FDA just approved this drug after "new information" was produced by the manufacture.

Mmmm, some kind of conspiracy?

The studies show that this drug has helped obese people lose as much as 5% of their body weight within a year.

That means that a 300 lbs obese woman can lose as much as 15 pounds in a year.

15 pounds or 5% weight loss in a year?

Give me a 300 Lbs woman and I'll help her lose 15 pounds in 2-3 weeks by two simple tweaks by adding 15-20 minutes of walking to her lifestyle and removing some starches from her diet

You and I know that what you do and how you do it is the ultimate fat loss solution becuase you teach a lifestyle change, exercise, and good nutrition.

But the general public doesn't care.

All they're going to see is the ten o'clock news when the talking heads tell them that the FDA has approved a new weight loss pill.

Then they're going to see the TV ads from this drug company touting the new weight loss drug and encouraging them to "ask your doctor about it".

The public is going to see hope in this drug.

But you have an ethical obligation to educate and enlighten your clients, prospects and community on this new drug and how like all other drugs that were once approved and are now banned, this may end up the same way.

And that ultimately the hope of losing 5% of your body weight within a year shouldn't outweigh the risk of side effects like potential TUMORS.

Other side effects?

Including serotonin syndrome - a potentially life-threatening drug reaction that causes the body to produce too much serotonin and causes symptoms of agitation, diarrhea, heavy sweating, fever, muscle spasms, tremors or mental health changes. People taking antidepressants or migraine drugs that increase serotonin levels may be at an increased risk for this side effect. The drug may also cause "disturbances in attention or memory, according to FDA.

Use with caution in people who have congestive heart failure, according to the FDA.

Why Cross Training Can Help You Lose More Fat, Build More Muscles, Reduce Aches and Pains

NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang interviewed on why and how to do cross training to help lose more fat, build a stronger well-conditioned body, heal and prevent injuries.

Carey Yang, Certified Personal Trainer & Fitness Expert

Millions of Americans suffering from overuse injuries from exercises or sports now can learn why they should do cross training and how to do it right with New Jersey celebrity personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

Cross training has been used for years although it’s a relatively new training concept. Athletes have used exercises outside their sports for conditioning due to weather, seasonal change, facility and equipment availability, and injuries. Cross training add many benefits to sports training including injury prevention.

Cross training is one type of training methods used to achieve well-rounded overall conditioning. The exercises are normally very different from what an athlete does in a particular sport. It gives a chance for the muscles, tendons, bones, joints and ligaments to take a break from repetitive use from sport-specific activities. In the meantime, cross training provides complementaryconditioning to balance an athlete. This concept is also very useful for amateur athletes or recreational weekend warriors.

Another benefit of cross training is to help reduce or reverse muscle imbalances in the body. For example, a baseball pitcher may develop an imbalance laterally between the two sides of the body as well as in the should girdle of the throwing arm. After thousands of high-speed forceful throwing, the throwing arm and muscles become stronger but potentially overused and injured. Rotator cuff injuries are very common. Cross training can help balance the strength on both sides. It helps stabilize muscles and realign the body. In addition, since you’re participating in different activities during cross training, it adds variety to your program and reduce chance of burn-out due to boredom.

One caution for cross training is that it doesn’t help develop skills for a specific sport. It isn’t a skill-specific drill. A football player can lift weights or slow-jog 5 miles a day all summer during off season. But he won’t be in great “football shape” when the pre-season starts. By all means, “cross” training should not be used as the sole training program. You still have to start slowly with cross training and increase intensity progressively without getting injured.

There are many ways to apply the concept of cross training to your fitness program, sports or activities all year round. Some examples are listed in the following.

* Aerobic Cross Training I
Use a variety of cardio equipment within one workout session; e.g., ten minutes on the treadmill, ten minutes on the bike, ten minutes on the elliptical machine.

* Aerobic Cross Training II
Use a variety of cardio equipment or modules throughout the week or month; e.g., run 30 minutes on Monday, bike 30 minutes on Wednesday, step class on Friday.

* Mixed Cross Training
Use a variety of activities that emphasizes different body functions and fitness; e.g., total-body weight training on Monday, kickboxing/martial arts on Wednesday, Yoga/Pilates on Friday.

* Cross-Over Training
Use activities that require totally different body functions or energy systems; e.g., A cyclist can do boxing (mainly upper body movements) during off-season so that he can rest his legs (lower body) for a while. Cycling requires more aerobicendurance while boxing demands more anaerobic energy output. Both energy systems are important in overall cardiovascular fitness.

* Seasonal Cross Training
Use or train for different sports or activities over large blocks of time or seasons; e.g., running for Spring, playing golf, tennis or swimming for Summer, outdoor rock-climbing for Fall, skiing or snowboarding for Winter.

* Functional/Complementary Cross Training
Use different activities to train similar function used in the main sport; e.g., Runners may use mountain biking to target the legs from slightly different actions. Cyclists may use cross-country skiing to maintain leg strength and cardiovascular endurance.

Although an advantage of cross training is decreased risk of injury, one still has to start the sports or activities slowly. Don’t fall into the same pitfalls in your main sport. Learn the basics. Perform adequate conditioning exercises in advance. Increase the intensity and duration progressively.

Many sports and activities share the same fitness characteristics of strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, balance, and flexibility. But each sport is still different with somewhat shift in performance requirements. A cyclist certainly doesn’t want to get injured from downhill skiing. In the same token, A football player would be sorry for sitting out on the bench for the season from motorcycle accident.

Dream Body Coach Disputes Top 3 Myths about Getting Ripped 6 Pack Abs

Carey Yang, Certified Personal Trainer
Fitness Expert & Abs Specialist

The quest to getting a set of ripped 6 pack abs has been a world craze as far and as long as I can remember. The media is so obsessed about the flat stomach or ripped abs image. We're brain-washed that we gotta have to them be good, fit, and desired person.

Over the years, many "myths" or half-baked truths have been rumoring around. Most people are confused by different opinions from different experts. The lightening speed of internet and social media makes it even worse.

Each of the following myths have some merit. They become a myth when an unethical fitness professional or expert takes a narrow perspective in order to stir up controversy in an effort to get you to buy their hyped up fat loss program. It's time to cut through the chase and set the record straight.

Myth #1: Abs Are Made In The Kitchen

It's important to watch what you eat and how much you eat in the kitchen. You simply can't out-train a lousy diet to build muscles, lose fat and sculpt 6 pack abs.

However, I have been many scrawny men or skinny women dieting down to low percent of body fat and still don't have abs that pop out.

So if you want to develop eye catching abs that really stand out, you still need to train your abs and work them hard in addition to following an effective diet.

Myth #2: Crunches Are Bad For Your Back

Unfortunately most people do the crunches wrong and strain their necks and back. They conclude that crunches are useless and bad for their back.

Performed properly, crunches or curl-ups are effective exercise to directly work on your abdominal muscles. Abs - short for "rectus abdominis" - is designed to flex for spinal flexion movement.

Performing crunching movements with proper form is the best way to fully develop them. Floor crunches, stability ball crunches, cable crunches, and double crunch are all great exercises for developing your abs.

Myth #3: You Can't Train Your Lower Abs

Some fitness trainers argue that you can't work your lower abs, because the Rectus Abdominis is one long muscle. It's only partially true. Just like any muscle-building exercise, you can put more emphasis on certain part of the muscle by performing the exercise in different angle and range of motion.

The key here is "emphasis" not to complete isolate lower abs. Hanging Knee Raises, Reverse Crunches, and the Jackknife among several other exercises place extra emphasis on the lower abdominal muscles. Basically any exercise where the movement involves tilting your pelvis up toward your chest, will place extra emphasis on the lower section of your abs.

The word "emphasis" is the key here. With each of the above abs exercises your entire Rectus Abdominis muscle will be working, but you should "feel" more tension and contraction in the lower abs compared to how they "feel" when you are performing other crunching movements.

If you want to sculpt a sexy set of six pack abs while developing a strong core and look your best, you must follow a strategically designed workout program that includes functional exercises, crunching movements that emphasize the upper and mid section of the Rectus Abdominis, crunching movements that emphasize the lower section of the Rectus Abdominins, and exercises that work the Transverse Abdominals and Obliques.

In a final word, remember, your diet is equally important as your abs training routine. Check out Metabolic Masterpiece for Fat Loss Quckie.

Happy, Healthier Baby Boomer Client Thanks Personal Trainer Carey Yang for Motivation, Coaching, and Training to Healthy Path

Testimonial from a happy client for Morris County NJ personal trainer Carey Yang.

“I’ve had back problems for the last 5 years that prohibited me from participating in any significant exercise programs. As a result, I had become unmotivated and reluctant to commit (physically or financially) to any type of training. After speaking with Carey, I decided to give it one more try. Carey’s professionalism, knowledge and most importantly, patience – has made my training a positive experience. He was sensitive to my physical challenges, yet consistent in his training and expectations. The progress has been steady and I “honestly” have had less back pain and more mobility than I’ve had in years. Carey has definitely provided a rejuvenation for this baby boomer and I will continue on this path to a healthier lifestyle.”

— Sharon F., Madison, NJ
