Feel the Need for (Short Bursts of) Speed
If you're looking for a boost to your calorie burn, try adding just a few short, fast-paced bursts of speed (called intervals) to your regular walking, biking, swimming, or other aerobic routine. During higher intensity exercise intervals, more muscle fibers get worked, burning more calories even after you've completed your session. Even better news, you don't have to be an athlete to reap the benefit of intervals. According to exercise physiologist Martin Gibala, Ph.D., if you're a walker, pick up the pace for 20 - 30 seconds, then slow down to your usual pace for a minute or two, and then repeat. Start with just one, two, or three intervals. As you grow stronger, add more intervals and make them longer and more intense. |
News from The Gap™
This feature of the newsletter highlights some of the outrageous calorie examples confronting us today. Although The Gap makes weight and health management more challenging, the support of the HMR Program can help you achieve your goals in the face of these obstacles.
There's been a lot of hoopla over Kentucky Fried Chicken's latest creation, the Double Down Chicken "Sandwich"- bacon, cheese, and sauce packed between two boneless fried chicken strips, with 32 g of fat and 1,380 mgs of sodium. KFC had originally planned to offer the sandwich for a limited time, but because it has been so popular (they expect to sell the 10 millionth sandwich in late May), KFC says they will make the sandwich available "for as long as consumer demand remains high".
If you want a much healthier HMR alternative to fast food chicken, try HMR's Chicken with Barbecue Sauce Entree. Only 270 calories, 1.5 g of fat and 510 mg of sodium. And since it only takes a minute in the microwave, it's even faster than fast food. Much better nutrition... and none of the guilt! |
You Could be a Walking Billboard of Good Health
Are friends and family members asking what you are doing to look and feel so good? You know that it's your hard work and healthy lifestyle changes that are producing such positive results. (A patient recently said that he referred people to the program because, "Nothing else will make such a difference in your life.") Do you know anyone who might also benefit from making similar changes? If someone you refer joins our HMR in clinic program, we'll give him/her a $50 discount. And we'll thank you with free meal replacements, or a free month of Phase 2 classes added to your Phase 2 package. Be sure to pick up some referral cards. And, as always, we appreciate your referrals. You are our best advertising! |
