At My Trainer Fitness, our goal is to continue to bring you new fitness products that make effective fitness easier to achieve on your own time and schedule while getting the results you want.  Our newest 6-Packs and My Trainer Fitness 100-Calorie Workouts andMy Trainer Fitness for At Work were all created with this in mind.

Workout at Work for More…

Tired at work?  More often than not if you work in an office environment you may be sitting for a prolonged period of time. James Levine, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., states “Excessive sitting is a lethal activity.”

My Trainer Fitness for At Work 6-packs are circuit workouts designed to keep you fit even when your schedule is tight.  Often, extended workdays won’t allow you to get to the gym, but MTF for At Work 6-packs enable you to get a full workout in over your lunch break or if you only have 5-10 minutes you can still greatly benefit by engaging one circuit—or portion of a circuit—once through.  You will discover more energy when you take just a few minutes in spurts throughout the day, while enhancing your fitness and muscle tone.  So working out at work equates to more energy and more health and fitness, which leads to more productivity and often more income. Some of the equipment you’ll need for these workouts can be found at work. For best results keep a set of resistance bands and/or dumbbells tucked under your desk or in a drawer. If there’s no room for either of these at work, use whatever is available, such as water bottles, books, soup cans, or just you!  Body weight is the best equipment for resistance training because it’s always with us!

Tied to the Desk?

My Trainer Fitness founder and CEO, LeAura Alderson, started the My Trainer Fitness company after being inspired by her own success at resolving chronic back and reversing osteopenia through exercise.  BUT…here’s the oxymoron:  running a fitness company put her back behind a desk with less time to exercise. Now empathetic to the throngs crunched for time and office-bound LeAura partnered with MizFit to bring this latest MTF fitness tool to you:  MTF for At Work in response to the need for effective exercises one can do throughout the day without even having to change clothes.  Meanwhile, we also found another GREAT resource which we can’t wait to share with you soon (not an affiliate…just glad to share good things with good people)!

Trade 10 Minutes for 100 Calories?

My Trainer Fitness 100-Calorie Workouts focus on short, intense workouts  (under 20 minutes) that aim to burn approximately 100 calories per session in smaller calorie segments. Minimal equipment is needed and the exercises are all clearly demonstrated by co-creator Carla Birnberg, aka Mizfit. And, as always with MTF, you control how much weight to use, the intensity and duration to get more out of each session, and so that the workouts can easily be stepped up or down to adjust to your unique needs.

The Newest MTF Author – “Unapologetically Me”

We love that Carla Birnberg is “unapologetically” herself! Can you relate too?  Carla is people’s choice for Fila fitness apparel, (in fact she’s on a Fila photo shoot in NYC right now!), voted Austin’s Fittest Mom and is an award-winning writer, community builder, and personal trainer.  Before the NY Times article and scientific studies, Carla observed that the lean people in her life were active throughout the day, so her idea for My Trainer Fitness 100 Calorie Workouts delivers exercise in bits and bites for a fit lifestyle.  She launched MizFitOnline.com to share her health and fitness knowledge with those who might not have access to one-on-one training and partnered with My Trainer Fitness to develop these two new exciting products!  Some of the equipment used in these circuit-based workouts are Resistance Bands, Dumbbells, Stopwatch or Clock, Jump Rope, Mat, Hula Hoop, and Swiss Ball. You can perform workouts indoors, outdoors… anywhere you choose!  Bottom line for your best bottom line?  Have fun getting up and getting moving!  Once we overcome any inertia habit, physics weighs in our favor:  A body at rest stays at rest…a body in motion stays in motion.  Well, we’re getting moving trying to keep up with Carla, and you can too with MTF 100 Calorie Workouts and MTF for At Work 6-packs! Please visit Carla at www.MizFitOnline.com and on Facebook. She’s a barrel of laughs with witty perspective for a fun read.  All Carla “MizFit” Birnberg!

According to a recent article over at LiveScience — “Many Women Would Trade One Year of Life to Be Thin” by Stephanie Pappas — almost one third of young women would give up years in order to have the perfect body.

Hmmm…..wonder how many of these same respondents are currently investing any time toward working on improving their health and fitness…?  With a little time daily or several times a week devoted to exercise, it would actually take MUCH LESS than a year, AND give back so much more! (Full article here)

How?  Well, a year is 8,544 hours, right?  Exercising for one hour seven days a week (using 7 instead of 5 days to add in some extra time for active lifestyle).  That’s 356 hours per year.  How many years does that buy?  TWENTY FOUR YEARS!!!  So exercise and/or being physically active just one hour a day, every day for a year and in 24 years you’ve arrived at that year’s worth of time.  But that’s just the beginning because we know that exercise and activity increase your odds of living longer and living more fully each day and each year because you feel better, look better, and have more energy for starters.  You will be absolutely and unequivocally healthier, because you’re following nature’s design for your body:  daily dynamic activity!

So, what’s the trade off to your best body…?  Your best self…?  we’re talking just one hour a day, MAXIMUM, and alternating between actual exercise and other active lifestyle choices like hiking, biking, walking, sports; you know, enjoying LIFE!  Any investor can tell you this is a no-brainer absolute best return on investment,  (ROI) you could make, and these are just the more obvious benefits, yet there are so many more, including how much more you can do with your life when you feel comfortable in your skin, have more energy and feel good about yourself.
