Fitness tip of the Month

Keeping the weight off during the holiday season.

Fill your plate ½ way at dinner parties and do not go for seconds.

Allow yourself to have one appetizer before dinner or stick with the vegetable/fruit platter without the dressing dip to curb your pre-meal appetite.

Drink a Glass of water after every alcoholic beverage.

Make sure you exercise for 30 minutes first thing the next morning.

Leg Exercises - Static Lunge with Dumbbell
Primary Muscles: Gluteus Maximus, Quadriceps
Secondary Muscles: Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosis, Semimembranosis
  1. Stand with one foot directly in front of the other by just a little more than a step width apart and both feet pointing straight ahead. The rear foot should just have its big toe on the ground. Hold the dumbbells by your side with palms facing in towards the body.
  2. Keep your front knee over your ankle and bend your hip until your knee reaches 90-110 degrees of flexion. Keep your back straight and chest up.
  3. Push through your heel back to the point where your knee is soft and leg is extended.

Helpful Hints:
Keep focused on having your weight in your front leg and not your back leg. Your back leg should be helping you keep your balance only.
