Here are some quick tips to get your engine fired up and get your fat burning furnace cranking!!

1.)     Research has shown that if you eat an apple 15 minutes before a meal you can reduce your caloric intake by 200 calories!  Eating an apple a day can do more than keep the doctor away – it will also help in fat loss!

2.)    Rich in monounsaturated fats, unsalted assorted nuts can provide heart health and they can promote fat loss.  Next time you want a snack – reach for a big bowl filled with only a handful of nuts!  Why?  The big bowl helps with portion control – it makes you feel you are eating more and you eat less and satiate.  A handful of nuts are all you need to keep your engine running and metabolism kicking!

3.)    Although nutrition is 75% of the full healthy picture, little pictures have big ears!  Exercise is a little picture that performed with the right turbulence can turn one into a well-oiled machine!  Here’s a quick workout to keep the engine rolling!

Start with 2-3 sets and build to 5 sets
10 pushups (wall, elevated, or standard pushups depending on ability level)  Immediately after do 10 squats  = 1 set

GO ALL OUT and the goal is to do 3 sets under 3 minutes and 5 sets under 5 minutes!  This is a good “pick me up” routine to do once a day to fire it up!!

Approximately 80% of adults are estimated to have some kind of back injury in their lifetime and 10 percent will suffer from a back re-injury, according to Premier back statistics.

The best way to prevent back pain is to become educated in the ways back injuries occur and form a preventative plan.  One of the top ways to avoid a back problem is to lift objects properly.  There are 7 different proper lifts that you can pick from to keep a healthy back and use your leg strength and not your back to pick things up the right way! Follow along with the video below that shows the 7 proper lifts as the lifting techniques are spelled out underneath.

Avoid Back Problems with the 7 Proper Lifts

  1.  Deep Squat Lift -  Do a full squat where hips are below knee level.  Arms and legs are parallel with an anterior pelvic tilt. Always keep object close for strong base of support – good for medium to heavy lower objects.  Grab object at the sides or under the bottom of the object.
  2. Traditional Lift – Get in standard squat position except feet are anteroposterior on each side of object.  Good for heavy, low objects – place object between legs  to maintain low center of gravity while wide base of support. 
  3. Power Lift -  Go into a half-squat for lifting taller and lighter objects where hips are above knee level.  Arms and legs are parallel – grab sides of the object, while maintaining a more vertical position with an anterior pelvic tilt.
  4. Straight Leg Lift – Knees can be slightly bent in this lift known for picking up grocery bags.  Grasp sides of the object and hold object close to the body.
  5. One-Leg Stance Lift – This lift is also known as the “golfer’s lift” and it is for very light objects weighing upto a couple pounds at most.  The body will go horizontal, while maintaining a straight back and always keep the front leg over the heel (making a 90 degree angle). The back leg can be straight or slightly bent. Again secure object close to body.
  6. Half-Kneeling  Lift – good for objects of various sizes and weights.  However, AVOID this type of lift if you have a knee problem! This is a useful lift for people of small stature with great balance. The goal of the lift is to secure objects close to the body before standing.
  7. Stoop Lift -  This is a great lift for an object  below waist level. This is the common lift for different types bags and/or items with handles (i.e. suitcase, purse, brief cases, pails, tool boxes, etc). Just partially flex hip and knees, while maintaining a straight slightly forward back.  Feet are shoulder width apart and slightly anteroposterior from each other.

I hope these tips help you “back up” and regroup and start rearing in the right direction in back health!  Remember:  Keep using your Legs and Rear Muscles when lifting and NOT your back!  For more info – Alicia Weber is a fitness expert with YourHealthUpdates.com
