It’s
inevitable. All of us have times when we’re feeling a little down. What’s one
of the best ways to overcome those feelings? According to Personal
Trainer Bob Talamini, it’s aerobic
exercise, as he explains in the article, "Beat the Blues…in the Gym” in the
November issue of Health & Fitness Sports Magazine.

Want
to burn a few more calories? Let those spicy peppers do the work, as they have
been shown to increase a person’s metabolism for a short time during the day.

It
seems that Group Exercise Instructor Hardy Pollardknows a thing or two about motivating participants in spinning classes so that
they’ll keep coming back for more! In the November/December of IDEA Fitness
Journal, Hardy and others from across the country offer tips in "A Smoother
Ride.”
Check
out number 4, "Visualize Sparingly.”
Evidently,
Hardy does such a good job of keeping his cyclists on the right track that the
word gets around. The reporter, Dr. Martina Heaner, heard so many good
things that she’s coming in from New York City next week to take his class!

Melissa Hawthorne’s great holiday tips on how to avoid gaining
weight this holiday season is going to get some national coverage too! It will
be posted on www.AlwaysNewYou.comsoon…We will keep you posted.
According to its
website, AlwaysNewYou offers health and beauty secrets for the modern,
maturewoman.
It’s never
too late to start working on your health and wellness. Just ask 69-year-old
member Richard "Dick” Kuringer. According to
his personal trainer Tim Lamando,
Dick approached him about three years ago, sedentary and lethargic at 250
pounds. He had type 2 diabetes and a 50-inch waist. He was reluctant to begin a
fitness regimen at his age, but after some urging from his grandchildren that
they wanted him to "be around” and not "round,” Tim began to work with him.
Always one to
brag about our holiday décor, I was happy to tell Southern Livingmagazine reporter Paula Disbrowe what The Houstonian does for the holidays each
year, for a story she was writing for the December issue, "Road Food
Revisited.” One of the editors sent us a sneak preview of the article.
And, as space always is a factor, the article
gives just a snippet of info about it…take a look!
Not sure what
will help get you out of that funk? Personal trainers Jason Roy and Bob
Talamini provide some great advice on defeating the symptoms of
depression in the article, "Beat the Blues in the Gym,” in the November issue
of Health & Fitness Sports magazine. Like it or not, working out is
the key. Regular exercise can help elevate mood and improve concentration and
overall health. Bottom line, it should kick the stress, beat the blues and keep
you smiling!

conditioning that helped him get through the season. Lance’s quote: ‘Way to go
Ben.’
And to quote
Lance Berkman, way to go, Ben! You’re a Houstonian MVP!
