This is a question we are asked nearly every day. The answer to that is a Yes and a No. What do you take out of that? Let’s start with the Yes: Just picture our body as a composition of different ‘materials’. The one that shouldn’t change are the bones. The human body has about 10% of its weight as bones. The more exercise one does, the more density and stability is built in the bones. On the opposite with growing age and/or inappropriate diet the bone density gets less which leads to demure bones with the tendency of fractures. The other important tissues are muscles, water and fat. Each of i ..read more

You might think it’s a lot of stress to see a personal trainer, specifically when you feel you have added too many pounds over the last couple of years.

Believe it or not, most reasons why we are so susceptible to weight gain or not lie in our habits. We are all used to following certain routines, and develop habits that might work in favor of us or on the opposite spectrum against us. And here it starts: We need to observe what and why we are doing things in order to recognize what is a habit and to tell which are the ones that work in favor of us. In general habits are good, they give us security, we feel we move on safe grounds since we know what we do and when. Most of the good habits we have developed consciously, but what about the habit ..read more

Be honest to your self Do you see your neighbor each morning set out for a run no matter if rain or shine? Do you think you could do that too, but you simply don’t want to, or you say you have no time? Then you are already caught in a motivation trap: There is always a good excuse why you cannot do a certain exercise. This process starts very silently. In the beginning there was probably a good reason not to go for a walk, jog or go to the gym. However the more often you find a good reason the more you avoid your daily exercise that you actually need. And that is the thing: Many people feel mo ..read more

With the beginning of a new year I feel tempted to talk about new year resolutions. Just in case you would expect that too, be assured I won’t ask this question this year.

But what I have noticed is that raising this question could cause an awkward feeling in your gut. Let’s say you started with your new year resolution into your fitness journey with all the motivation that your goals deserve ..read more
