Exercise is Medicine: The Natural Solution

 

There’s a lot of evidence that shows just how important exercise is for your health. Exercise can improve your cardiovascular function, help prevent heart disease and stroke, reduce the risk of depression, and more. It’s also been shown to extend life expectancy and make you feel better overall. So if you want to live a longer life without getting sick as often, don’t hesitate – exercise today!

 

Exercise for a reason

We should exercise for many reasons. One reason is that it helps you live a longer and healthier life. Exercise can also benefit your health significantly by preventing or reducing the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. What’s more, exercise is an effective treatment for depression. It can also help you lose weight and maintain that weight loss the long-term the best way possible.

 

How much exercise should I get?

As a rule of thumb, you should work out for at least 30 minutes every day. But what counts as working out? It could be something simple like taking the stairs instead of using an elevator or walking to your friend’s place rather than driving. If you want more precise recommendations regarding how many calories to burn in order to lose weight fast and keep it off long-term, check this calculator . These are all great ways to help increase your daily workout without really trying! Not only will they make you healthier overall but also save time that would otherwise have been spent doing other things.​ More recently, studies show that even if we work out more than 30 minutes a day, we won’t get any additional benefits. Make sure you listen to your body and avoid overtraining!

 

Is it worth working out if I’m sick?

What about when I’m sick? Should I still work out then too? The answer is yes – even though you probably feel like staying in bed all day long while recovering from the flu or the common cold, exercise is actually one of the best things you can do for yourself. Find some time during this period where you’re feeling okay enough to work out and push through. Your immune system will thank me later. ​It’s important that you don’t stop exercising just because you aren’t feeling well at first -you’ll be doing more harm than good.

 

How do I get started with a workout routine?

If you’re new to exercising, it can be difficult to know where and how to start. In this post , you’ll find the most common mistakes people make when starting out as well as our best tips for building an effective exercise routine from scratch. You don’t have much time on your hands but want results fast – we’ve got just the solution! My advice is that you start small by taking baby steps in order not to overdo yourself too quickly and risk injury or burnout. This way, even if it takes some more time than expected at first, you will eventually reach your goal(s). Remember to stay consistent, be kind to yourself (and others), and take care of your body!

 

What are the best workouts for beginners?

The most common mistake that people make when starting out is jumping into an intense workout program right away. The main reason this doesn’t work is because you’re not giving your muscles time to adapt, so they get overworked too quickly instead of getting stronger gradually during the training period. To help you avoid injuries and burnout while building a sustainable exercise habit , start with something simple but effective like walking . It’s easy on your joints and still gives you all the benefits of regular cardiovascular exercises. You can do it anywhere at any time you want! If you prefer to go to the gym, aim for low-impact exercises like an elliptical machine , stationary bike, or rowing .

 

Is there anything I should consider when working out in order to stay safe?

We all know that exercising is important but sometimes we get so caught up with getting results fast that we forget how dangerous injuries are during training sessions. It’s crucial that you don’t ignore your body and always listen carefully for signs of pain while doing workouts. Trust me – once you experience serious muscle soreness after exercise day after day without knowing why you’ll realize how important this is. Sometimes it’s better to do fewer reps with more weight in order not to risk a muscle tear or any other injuries that can occur when you’re working out.

The next thing I want to mention is the importance of warming up before going hard during your workout sessions. This will increase your body temperature, heart rate, and blood flow, which helps prevent injury by making sure your muscles are loose enough for intense activity. Warming up also prevents delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercising since you get all those benefits without straining yourself too much from the start! Finally , make sure if anything hurts while training – stop immediately and rest until whatever pain you felt goes away completely. Don’t train through injuries since even if it feels “okay” at first, the worst is yet to come.

 

Have you been considering adding a fitness routine to your life? Are you wondering how much exercise is too little and what will happen if I don’t get enough of it? Let’s talk about why I recommend exercising for at least 30 minutes, 3 times per week. There are so many benefits from the right amount of movement! It can help improve your overall mood, give you more energy, increase muscle strength and bone density, reduce stress levels- the list goes on! I’ll also break down some simple workouts that may work well with different schedules or busy lives. If this sounds like something worth exploring further, contact me today to set up an appointment. My goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable in their workout!

Jay is an incredible fitness coach/trainer. His workouts are extremely diverse and engaged, every workout is a challenge, and it’s progressive so I’m always leaving feeling so much stronger. I’m never bored. Jay offers both in person and virtual training which is amazing because I travel a lot so being able to stay consistent with my routine is so helpful. When I’m person, Kay comes to my place and that is something I’m so grateful for. My biggest blocker for working out is time and the fact that Jay comes to me so I just have to walk upstairs ti shower before work is a complete game changer. Jay has shown me workouts and techniques I’d never learned in my many years of cross training and playing spots. I truly feel stronger after working with Jay. I look it too, but I’m not here for the weight loss. Jay has instilled a habit in me that I can’t live without now. His openness and how approachable he is makes our sessions super chill and comfortable. I also love how he hold me accountable to my diet, my exercise and everything in between. I’m absolutely stronger and healthier thanks to Jay over the last 6 months. I’ve also lost 17 pounds since starting to train with him back in July 2022. I highly recommend Jay as a trainer. You won’t regret it!

I had been working out seven days a week for over two years, and I did not see as many changes in my body as the ones that I have accomplished in just two months with Jay’s online personal training. I lost 15 pounds, I look and feel better. In 2 months with 2-3 half hour sessions per week with Jay as my online personal trainer my body accomplished what I could not accomplish by myself in 2 years. His meal plan is great as well, it is very diverse yet tailored to your needs and preferences. I was hesitant about the online personal training method, but after seeing the results, I do not only highly recommend Jay as a personal trainer, I decided to stay long term. Now I have new fitness goals and I know that Jay’s online personal training sessions will get me there. Look at my before (6/12/22) and after (8/24/22) pictures! :)

Jay has been a professional and motivating trainer. We have only been meeting a few months and I've lost close to 20 lbs. My energy levels have improved and I've noticed my metabolism is faster. I'm very satisfied with my results from training with Jay. He is very patient and can work with you no matter where you're at in your fitness path.

I would definitely recommend using Jay as a trainer! I always get a great workout in with Jay and it's so convenient doing the online personal training from home. I log onto zoom with him during my lunch since I work from home and get a quick 30 minute workout in. The workout plans are good and creative. Its crazy that I live in Texas, and using a trainer in California. But I get a better workout with him on zoom than I did with the guys here in the gym. Try it out, you won't regret it.

Training with Jay has been one of the biggest highlights of my 2020 experience. Jay has been with me through so many changes like when I went to visit family last spring and was worried about losing all the progress I had made. He offered online training I was still able to get a great workout in. His creativity is incredibly impressive, we were able to make use of what random objects we found in the family’s garage and it was both hilarious and amazingly effective! I never did a same workout the entire I was training with him, so every day it was exciting to see how far I could push my own limits. I highly recommend bringing a pen and notebook to notate what you do every workout with him, so you can practice later and because Jay is such a fountain of knowledge  He listened carefully to how I was feeling at the start of the workout to assess how our last workout went just to make sure that I was getting the most effective workout possible. He held me accountable whenever I was tempted or completely fell off my fitness plan and always inspired me back to confidence and drive. I came to him at 4’10 and nearly 150 lbs and now at a lean strong 125lbs. Thank you, Jay, for being a part of my journey in health and wellness, you are an incredibly warm and beautiful soul. I still continue to follow your advice and have been feeling so amazing!

Jay is an amazing trainer! He teaches not only the importance of a strong workout, but how to eat right and stay disciplined in the process. He pushes you, checks in on off-days and makes what can be a tough transformation fun. Get ready to work! I lost 20lbs in 5 months. So glad I found him.

Jay is the best women’s personal trainer! Since I have a very inconsistent schedule and going to the gym wasn’t always an option, I decided not to hire a personal trainer in Anne Arundel County, MD. I needed a routine that actually worked that I could do on my own time and one that would also keep me motivated. Using Jay’s online personal training program, I lost 25lbs in two months. His weekly check-ins kept me motivated and accountable. I continued to used the techniques I learned from him and I lost an additional 10lbs.
