Ready, Set, Reset Your Mojo
Ahhhhh those summer days. Waking up late, not having to run the kids around.
That amazing feeling that you've freed up some time with a few less day-to-day responsibilities. And with that, you may not have been as consistent with your workout program - feeling a little lazy.
That's okay; it was a different kind of mojo....it was summer.
But now it's fall; how are things looking now? Alarm goes off, you're rushing to get lunches made, send the kids off to school, and perhaps get ready for work yourself.
Feeling a little mojo depletion?
How can you recharge your energy in this new routine? You know what I mean - put that skip back in your step to get your workout routine back on track.
Need a little help? Try these tips to reset your mojo:
- Get Physical! As soon as you start moving, circulating and putting that color back in your cheeks, you'll feel better - I promise. Call a friend; my sister called me yesterday to get back to yoga. Prebook your workout classes. Booking your workouts a full month ahead of your time will help you to be more committed.
- Hang Around People Who Have Pulled Their Mojo Into Full Gear. These people will influence your motivation; they will inspire you to be the best you can be. When my son was growing up, I always told him the closest friends you have are the ones who will influence the direction in which you will go. Find great people to spend time with.
- Rewire Your Brain. Don't focus on negative thoughts. Let's say you gained 5 pounds over the summer - don't pull yourself further into a funk. Focus on the positive things in your life and be grateful for all that you have. If you are following tips 1 and 2 above, those 5 pounds will be gone before you know it.
- Personalize Your Priority List. I am a major list maker. So when I need to get my mojo back, I list easier things to accomplish so I can gradually build momentum to get back on track. I take a day at a time to try to get through the next day with eating healthy, some exercise, some conversation and great people.
It's okay, give yourself a little slack, but don't let too much time go by before you start your work - or you'll end up being that client that walks into my studio desperate because you gained 20 pounds since the summer AND you are depressed and wondering what happened.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR MOJO TODAY? .... YOU GOT THIS!

Instructor's Corner
Meet Bea Metz
Growing up in a small town in New Jersey, my gym was the outdoors. I played softball, f football and swam competitively. I enjoyed lake swimming, free diving, and water ballet. The understanding of staying active came naturally to me because that is how I grew up.
I met Ellen Latham 17 years ago and hired her as my personal trainer. My journey in the fitness world began shortly after that, teaching and inspiring clients with health and wellness.
That's when I developed my
Lifestyle Food Coaching Program - Learn to Lose.
My passion escalated as I when I saw the frustration clients were experiencing with yo-yo dieting and their lack of weight loss knowledge. They were on medications, meal packages, and every latest quick fix program to lose weight.
Boy - did I have my work cut out for me.
The success of my program at Ellens has had a huge impact on me and has begun to change
statistics for successful weight loss. Working at Ellens has made it possible for me to do what I LOVE.

Lifestyle Weight Loss Challenge
PUTTING 5 INTO PRACTICE
1.
People who eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day rather than 3 big meals tend to consume fewer calories.
The hungrier you are at a
meal, the more likely you are to overeat.
2.
More meals means a steadier supply of blood sugar throughout the day, avoiding the dips and spikes that can impact the health of blood vessels and lead to premature aging and other concerns.
3.
Constantly breaking down the food throughout the day positively impacts your metabolism. Since you will be developing trust with your body that you're going to deliver it another meal s
oon, it won't skip on using up calories.
4
.
More meals can make for a less processed food diet,
which
helps supply the nutrients the body needs.
5.
5 meals gives your body a steadier energy supply across you're waking hours, this in turn gives you more energy for your workouts and helps to you to achieve a healthy body weight!

How To Recover
Between Intervals
Speed intervals require rest between efforts and especially when you're pushing your limits. The natural instinct may be to stop and put your hands on your knees while you catch your breath on the rails of the treadmill. But experience teaches us a counter intuitive lesson: Base pace during those precious snippets of recovery sometimes makes it easier to run fast on the next effort. That's because jogging keeps more blood flowing through your legs, clearing away the metabolic waste products that build up during hard running and contribute to muscle fatigue.
When to walk: Given that lactate clearance is enhanced only after about 90 seconds, it's tempting to walk during all shorter recoveries. This would be right if the goal were to run the workout as fast as possible, but the real goal is to run faster
. Jogging short recoveries ramps up the aerobic demands of the workout, so it's the right call sometimes. Follow the instructor's LESSON PLAN, they are designed with purpose and should make SENSE.
The best time to walk recoveries is when you're doing short ALL OUT intervals to work on your top speed. When done correctly, you have NO CHOICE but to walk. Having said that, find a speed that you can decelerate from.
If you need to jump on the rails, you DON'T OWN that speed and risk injury by using it.

Client's Corner - Meet
Maria Golan
"I've tried lots of different gyms, and various group exercise classes over the years and I have never joined because none of them worked for my schedule. I tried Ellen's when I received a promotional offer and saw the extensive amount of classes the studio offers. Sue was the first person I met there and she was so friendly, informative and encouraging. I worked out under various instructors and found Bea to be the motivating influence that worked for me! I decided to become a member when I finished using the promotional classes.
I am very satisfied with the variety of classes, affordable price and the level of expertise the studio provides."
