Smart Spring Cleaning...

We are proud to announce our 2012 weight management group is now underway and the group is keen, willing and ready to KickStart a smart Spring Clean as we begin our weight management program cleaning up bodies from toxic overload including me from the 12th of April. One very keen group member has started already! This is to be applauded

The first step to any weight-loss program is to set SMART goals, what will yours be this Spring?  We sat around my lounge last Wednesday evening the group discussed the various goals they wished to achieve by day 30 of the program. 


S is for Specific: What is it you want to achieve? An amount of weight, drop a jean size, get into that favorite dress? Whatever it is note it down and put it where you can see it on a daily basis.

M is for Measurable:  How are you going to measure your success? By recording your before measurements, by how your clothes fit you now and at the end of the period of time. So find a way to measure this for your success. e.g. take our FREE lifestyle analysis this will be a way you can record your findings. 


A is for Achievable :  Is it possible, can you do it or is the goal too wild you will lose impetus before you have reached your target. It needs to be stretching and worth your effort. So dropping a jeans size in most people books is achievable providing you have enough body fat surplus to requirements. However, getting healthier is also an underpinning achievement. 


R is for Realistic: Your goal of course has to be realistic. Losing 3 stone would be a little unrealistic is not unheard of but for many this may be a little unrealistic in the first 28 days. However, if you have plenty of weight to loose then a more realistic goal may be to loose between 8 lbs and 15lbs in weight. In my case a Spring Clean is probably more realistic. 

T is for Time-bound: It is an important step to set a time-bound period for reaching your goal. Without this boundary in place there is no sense of urgency and it would be easy to become distracted from your goal. By setting a date of when you want to reach your goal it helps  you to focus towards your success in our case we have set a time-boundary of 28 days from the 12th of April. To complete our SMART Spring Clean towards our weight-loss and health improvement program.

Reduce Carb Digestion


Many studies have shown that a reduction in dietary crabohydrates os associated with weigjhtloss and the preservation of lean skeletal muscle. As a result many people are trying to reduce thier carbohydrate intake. For those that choose particulary high crab loaded meals this Christmas, Carbo grabbers have been formulated to reduce the negative effects of those bad carbs by reducing the carbohydrate digestions. Carbo grabbers uses an extract called from the white kidney bean, which inhibits amylase production, reducing the digestion and absorption of food startches.

Nordic On Walking

Last night in cool temperatures Peterborough people just got Nordic on Walking, at Werrington Sports Centre. Despite the fact it was cool the group remained high in spirits as the took their first Nordic Steps. The group set to get grips with their poles and learn a new physical activity called Nordic Walking. Their energy, enthusiasm and determination was second to none as they ventured out with their poles and paws. These fantastic Nordic novices were keen to improve their general fitness, tone up, and manage their weight. It is all too easy to pile on the pounds through lack of physical activity. Some activites like walking and running use lower body muscles which can lead to muscular imbalance. Nordic Walking uses up to 90% of all skeletal muscle providing the body a great workout for the entire body. It can burn off up to 46% more calories than normal walking. Making it an effective in helping to improve weight management. One member had been wanting to try Nordic for ages and was highly delighted with the instruction, quality of poles and starting to learn more about how this low impact activity can reduce stress on the joints, and have big results. This has certainly filled a gap for Nordic novices where other high impact sports such as running have left a hole due high stess on the knees, hips and back. Well done to all the novices that just got Nordic on Walking, you have successfully taken your first steps to better health and fitness.

Effective Healthy Starter...

Speaking to sports, fitness and weight management enthusiast on a recent morning cycle ride of 50+ miles brought home the ever increasing importance of starting the day healthily.

When seeking to loose weight, at the moment, there are many of ways starting your day which are seemingly healthy (take for example a bowl of porridge it is low in glycemic index, which releases its energy slowly, passes through your gastric tract slowly, making you feel fuller for longer).

So, how do you make a good breakfast choice even better to improve the chances of weight loss? The old saying " if you do what you have always done, you will get what you always got" does have some truth.

You need to know you can make a change, whatever that might be. It is those small incremental changes that leads to a greater cumulative change. The "you always got" gives you the same results, this is not resulting in your weight loss.

This is where alternative approaches can come in and subtle changes can be made to help you acheive the results you are looking for. Getting into that little black dress or tux for the christmas party, looking wonderful in your wedding gown, superb in your suit, or gaining a personal best time in your next sporting event.

If the thought of making change scares you, or interests you and you would like to know more about making changes to your current weight management programme and making it even better. For further guidance in making change to your current approach to weight management, you can contact Sue Burnett, visit her contacts page at: http://www.activeedgesolutions.co.uk/
