Are you looking forward to this summer? We hope you do have some plans worth getting excited over. Here at EFFEX 180 Ladies Fitness Studio we are pumped about the variety of programming that we can offer you! What we have learnt at the most recent Fit Rendezvous Provincial Conference has only served to reinforce that we already offer the preferred delivery system of health and fitness to our awesome members! Regardless of the issue we can answer it:

Are you too busy? Circuit training at EFFEX 180 is unique and one of the most time efficient opportunities to get done what needs doing!

Inexperienced? Where else can you get trained privately on your own personal program and then just ask the coach anytime after "How the heck do I do this again?" for perhaps the third or fourth time.

Variety? Yup. That's what we are here for. We (the coaches) change the program to keep those muscles reacting!

Cheap? That word is for buying the inferior. You are probably just wise with your dollar. Therefore, value for service just doesn't get any better than here!

Lazy? Well...so are many of the rest of us. But the reality is our bodies were designed to move and don't like not being used to their full potential. Without regular physical activity they deteriorate far quicker than they should. So just do it. Trust us you will be so glad you did!

Read on and please forward this email to any of your awesome friends who might enjoy a bit of info from a friendly fitness coach!

Burn Even More Calories AFTER the Workout!

Capitalize on a metabolism-boosting phenomenon, known as excess postexercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC, through both cardio and resistance training. You can increase EPOC while exercising within a

circuit where you are alternating your cardio and resistance exercise by doing both at a high intensity. Be sure your muscles reach maximum fatigue at the end of the rep range you are working in and aim to reach your target heart range quickly once you have begun the cardio element of your program. What will this do? Burn an extra 40 to 60 calories post workout. EPOC can ADD UP to thousands of extra calories burned over the year!

Energy Bars: Good Choice or Bad Choice?

Skipping meals and going without food for hours on end often leads to bad eating as you get so hungry you will literally eat anything in sight and all good intentions about eating healthy simply fly out the window. If you go too long without eating you are likely to overeat at the next meal. Adding a timely snack is like a vaccine against overeating. This is when having an energy bar on hand can be useful. They are virtually indestructible which means you can toss them into a briefcase, desk drawer or glove compartment for those times when you need a quick snack to hold you over to your next meal. However BEWARE some touted energy bars are no more than a glorified candy bar. So when choosing a bar check the nutrition label and choose one low in saturated fat (less than 3 g) and higher in fiber (3 g +). Choose one with a moderate amount of protein; 10 - 15 g of protein is plenty.

Hairstyle Do's that Save You from Dating Yourself

Get banged: that's right! Bangs are never really out of style and they camoflauge a wrinkled forehead or a receding hairline in a stylish way. Stay away from severe or geometric cuts and have a stylist shape to soften and frame your face and sparkling eyes!

Your hair should move: product that locks every strand in place and teasing that piles your hair high are to be avoided.

Wear it down: no need to pull it back into a tight updo for special occasions. If it must go up then keep it loose and casual.

Grow it: just past your shoulders helps to give it a sexy but not teeny bopper look. When the ends are fried or your hair is starting to thin you might want to shorten it up some more.

Make it shine: a weekly deep conditioner is more effective than lots of product caked in. Avoid washing daily.

White flakes are for winter: not for your shoulders. An easy solution lies on the drugstore shelves, it's called Head & Shoulders.
