For The Record Friday – Joseph Miller, Personal Trainer (Chicago)

I was able to interview my friend and it was difficult but only because he was so modest and found it difficult to talk about himself. LOL, go figure! Handsome, healthy and modest. I was excited to learn more about what got him started into this business and why. Mr. Miller stated “I had a drive to work independently.” He also felt like there were not any gyms that facilitated the programs that he is interested. I then inquired, so just what are your interests?

1.    High interest in functional training.

2.    Using different approaches (no cookie cutter training)

3.    Having proper and effective  tools for training

Guest Post - Joseph Miller of Organic Theory Chicago

Funny, I never really sit down long enough to really consider things to "blog" about in terms of all things health and fitness, however those that know me personally know that I could banter on for days about it. This bantering recently lead me to this post; during a conversation with a relative of mine I gave a bit of advice that I think is blog worthy. So often we fall into fad diets and fitness trends, ie..do 9,000 workouts in 7 days and win a free t-shirt (or at least that's how it feels) so often that we soon forget the basics. Below I've included 3 of the most basic and realistic tips that are so easy to follow that it should be illegal..in most 1st world countries of course.

For The Record Friday Blog Feature Post - Monika!

For those of you who have been following my blog, you may be aware that there is a part I to this For the Record: Blog Feature Post of Monika: The lady that handles it all.

Health and Fitness

It has been a minute since I've posted on the blog, but I read this article this morning that just made so much sense to me. I found myself doing a lot of ab workouts and I could feel my abs tightening UNDER my semi-muffin top.

Granted I know through aerobics I can lose the weight, but I was losing weight all over my body in other areas and I didn't want that...I just wanted to have targeted weight loss. I'm beginning to realize that that may not happen as I usually don't begin losing fat from my tummy first. I usually lose weight from my legs  and breasts first. Which I think is horrible because my boobs are almost non-existent as is.

However, it's all in the name of health. Read these 10 ways to trim belly fat in This article by Men's Magazine. Share your thoughts! MuAh and Ciao!
