Paige’s Holiday Challenge Week 2
A pre-workout snack should be high in carbohydrates; our body’s main source of energy. Foods high in protein and fat take longer to digest, may increase the risk of stomach discomfort during exercise and do not provide energy. By having a carbohydrate-heavy snack one hour before exercise, you will give your body time to digest and the energy will be readily available.

5 Things The Prize Club is NOT
1. The Prize Club is not a diet. Instead, we help our members improve their health by teaching broad concepts, and then allowing them to apply those concepts as they see fit. The program is for people who want to change their health habits. For many, this is a simple but challenging task. Old habits are hard to break, but we can succeed with the right motives, a strategy, and accountability. 2. The Prize Club is not a weight loss program. Only about half our members have weight loss goals. However, the program’s “one day at a time” approach is useful for people with weight loss goals. By focusing on making one healthy choice at a time, members succeed in initially losing weight and keeping [...]

Focus Point of the Week: Vacationing
With Spring Break quickly approaching, we are reminded of the importance of having realistic fitness goals and living a lifestyle that is consistent with those goals. In order to maintain your exercise frequency, you must have the “tools” to train yourself effectively, regardless of location or situation. Those tools are more easily found than you may think. Access to exercise facilities is nice, but certainly not necessary. Packing some exercise tubing, a TRX or simply using a few toys you find around the pool is all you need. Success hinges on commitment and know-how. You already know how to do many of the exercises. In fact, many of them have been previous Focus Points! Push-ups, planks and squatting are all appropriate for most travel programs. [...]
