BAC Fitness Maniac of the Month
Michael Brommer
Michael has been a member of Brenda Athletic Clubs Turlock Active for over a year. Michael works full time and is married with two children.
Michael works out 4 days per week at least one hour per day at the gym and 2 days for 30 minutes at home.
Michael says he has a fairly rigid routine using free weights and machines. He has utilized our BAC personal trainer Kaela 2 days per week for a year. "With her invaluable help I have learned how to workout, how to use the weights, machines and to have a whole body workout. " said Michael.
The changes he has seen in his body and health since he began his health and wellness journey is that his body fat has dropped 3% and his weight has stabilized. He said, " A friend I have not seen in 5 years recently told me I looked "Buff", and that feels good!"
The biggest change in his life due to my fitness routine has been that he feels good. He sleeps better. He knows the limits of his body and evidence of his injury is almost non-existent.
How has BAC staff and fitness facility helped make his fitness goals successful? Michael says, "Every single person there has been wonderful. Glad to see me, cheerful, helpful and efficient. The machines always seem in good repair and are very clean. I like it when staff occasionally walks through the area and checks on things, asses how I am doing and makes suggestions."
In his leisure time, Michael is a competitive high power rifleman. He competes 2 to 4 times a month in competitions in Central California. I am also the sound/audio technician at Monte Vista Chapel in Turlock.
Michael says, " I started BAC with a severe injury. I had never lifted a weight in my life. Highest props to Kaela Ledford for taking a broken old man with a bad injury and making a whole new person. My family is so thankful for her careful but thorough care for my body and mind. "
Keep up the good work Michael! BAC is proud of all your accomplishments!

 BAC FIT TIP
For most families, life turns even topsy-turvier than usual during November and December. We squeeze extra entertaining, baking, shopping, errands, concerts, and parties into our already busy schedules, and that means holiday fitness takes a back seat. Combine that with all the tempting treats: Ho-ho-uh oh! It's essential to find ways to fit in some family holiday fitness, and we promise there are ways to do it that won't turn you into a Grinch.
Shop 'til You Drop?
Turn a leisurely cruise around the mall into a power-walk and you reap the same fitness benefits you would out on a hiking trail. Hit stores at off hours to avoid crowds (or else treat that zigging and zagging you're doing as extra aerobic output). And don't forget to take the stairs and park in the far end of the lot. Those extra steps add up too. How about walking a lap around the parking lot before you go home? Extra points if you're carrying heavy bags!
Or, take the opposite tack. Streamline shopping and devote the time (and money!) you save to fitness.
- Cut back on your gift list.
- Team up with a friend-make a shopping list, group like items together, and split up the stops. You hit the toy store while she buys books, and so on.
- Shop online, especially for faraway relatives and friends; that way you avoid trips to the post office too.
Create Family Holiday Fitness Traditions
Treasured rituals are an important part of the holiday season for most families. Add or adapt yours to include fitness! Consider:
Fit in Holiday Fitness, Cut Out Fat
An unpredictable, extra-busy schedule can easily derail your usual exercise routines. Try working out early in the morning, before you're interrupted for the day. Have a backup plan, so that in case you miss your usual Spinning class (or your child has to skip his karate lesson), you take a bike ride or do an exercise video instead. If you have houseguests, invite them to join you on your daily run or trip to the gym.

BAC NUTRITION TIP
Nutrition Tips for the Holidays
Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine By Cathy Garvey, R.D.
Most people gain between 5 and 10 pounds during the holidays. To keep your scale stable, use these nutrition tips and experience a slimmer season.
Eat a snack before the party
Snacking on low-glycemic carbohydrates and lean proteins such as apple slices with natural peanut butter, raw veggies with hummus or nonfat unsweetened yogurt with berries, help to curb your hunger so you eat less at the party.
Limit alcohol
Each 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1 ounce of hard alcohol contain roughly 100 calories. Enjoy a drink, and then switch to sparkling water with lemon or lime. Steer clear of higher calorie drinks such as egg nog, frozen margaritas and hot buttered rum.
Eat lots of salad
Start your meals with a large salad topped with lots of veggies and lowfat/fat-free dressing or a broth-based soup filled with vegetables.
Studies have shown that eating salads or broth-based soups prior to a meal results in less calories consumed during the meal.
