Fitness tools to help you reach your goals

Hello there.  As I was contemplating a topic for this post, I thought about what I could write about to help you in the realm of health and fitness.  Here are some tools that you can use on your own, with your trainer, or your doctor: I hear a lot of people ask about heart rate.  Do you know what your Resting Heart Rate is?  What about Max Heart Rate?  This tool from the American Heart Association teaches you how to find your heart rate.  It then shows you where you should be training for your age.

Hello, I recently read an article regarding weightloss, especially for women over 40.  The author is a trainer from California named Jill Brown.  I don't know her.  Since I am still learning some of the intricacies of weight loss, and I don't quite fell like the expert I want to be, I figured I'd just share this article.  A lot of what the author writes makes sense.  Thank you Jill for sharing your knowledge.  Enjoy. http://www.jillbrownfitness.com/site/2017/04/how-women-can-lose-weight-after-40-especially-around-the-middle/

In the News: Legislation
