The most frequent question I get is "I saw you on WKBN, what is The Fitnesst?"  As we discussed last week, nutrition is a key component of our program. This week, we will discuss our exercise component. Together, the components of Exercise and Nutrition assist our clients in living a healthier and more fit lifestyle.

Exercise and Activity are key to a healthy and body.  Activity is what one does during the course of an average day such as walking to and from wherever, taking a bath/shower, housekeeping, or routine work activity.  Exercise exerts energy over and above normal activity to improve and strengthen the body such as the circulatory system or muscular structure.  There are numerous forms of exercise.  The key is finding ones you like that you will do on a regular basis exercising the circulatory system through an aerobic activity such as walking, jogging, elliptical training, or biking;  and muscle strengthening exercises such as arm curls, lunges, or shoulder raises  using some form of additional weight resistance such as stretch bands or dumbbells. Exercises like sit-ups or push ups utilize your own body's weight the resistance. Always check with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program
