Tips for The Holidays
Well here we are, in the middle of the holiday season. Hopefully this means spending more quality time with family and friends and doing something meaningful for your church or your favorite charity.
For most of us it means lots of opportunities to eat. The average American gains 3 to 5 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years. It’s not the feast you have for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner that causes the weight gain; it’s constant consumption of extra calories throughout the season.
So here are a few quick tips to help you make through the holidays without any extra baggage.
1. Plan to have a couple of all out feasts. That’s right, just get it out your system and eat any and everything you want for one or two meals (not days).
2. Don’t keep leftover cookies, pies, candy or cakes around after your one meal feast is over. It’s the snacking on these items throughout the holidays that causes the weight gain.
3. Always go for the veggie or fruit tray if you are at a party. If you can, take a veggie or fruit tray to the party.
4. Drink plenty of water. If you are drinking alcohol, drink one large glass of ice water for every alcoholic beverage.

Chris Reed
When I met Bo 2 years ago my life was very fast paced – the balance between work, home life, and church volunteering was hectic at best. Since I quit smoking 5 years ago, I had ballooned to 275 lbs and size 42 pants. To be honest, I didn’t think it was going to be possible for me to lose the 40 lbs I had gained since I quit smoking.

Exercise Inc in Zionsville
It’s been an exciting year at Exercise Inc. In 2009 we opened a new studio in Zionsville, launched a new website and McGraw Hill published a new book about our program. At the same time we have continued to help hundreds of clients get stronger, have more energy, lose weight and just feel better.
If you haven’t read the book Body by Science, you are missing the best material ever published on the subject of exercise. The author, Dr. Doug McGuff, is an emergency room physician who also owns his own personal training studio.
In the book Dr. McGuff shares some of the latest research on exercise and explains how this research relates to the average person who simply wants to improve their quality of life through safe, efficient exercise.
Dr. McGuff believes a strength training program of 4 to 6 exercises performed to complete exhaustion once a week is best way for everyone to exercise. Hmm! That’s the same program we’ve been using at Exercise Inc for almost 6 years. In the book, Dr. McGuff spends a lot of time explaining the science behind why our program works and what the benefits of the program can be.
We were fortunate enough to have Dr. McGuff come to Indianapolis in April for a lecture and a book signing. When he was here I was able to do an interview with him about the book that can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahIKTdJaXPE.
If you would like to purchase Dr. McGuff’s book, you can find it on Amazon, at your local bookstore or just come in to Exercise Inc.
If you are in the area, please stop in to see our new Zionsville location. It’s on Michigan Road, just north of 106th street.
Eric Walts
In 2005, Eric was a busy man, running his own company and balancing that workload with his family. He knew he needed to start being more active, as the pounds had added up over the last 10 years. Having played sports in high school and always being thin, Eric had taken for granted the ease of staying trim until he was in his early thirties. The pounds were slow to come on, his business kept him busy and any other time he had went to his small children and his wife. (more…)
