Avoiding a Burn-Out

By Jeff, H3 Program Intern

Why exercise? What are we actually trying to accomplish? We all have central reasons for exercise – the opportunity to reduce our blood pressure, risk of heart disease, feelings of depression, and of course to control our weight. With so many phenomenal reasons to exercise, why not go all out day after day after day!? Constant, no breaks, let’s hit H3 class after class after class!

Sometimes our motivation really is sky high; however there is a point at which we may be pushing ourselves past our healthy perimeter. If you’ve stayed with us at Hilton Head Health, you are aware that we live by the words: “Train for Life” – so do just that, listen to your body and let yourself recover from intense exercise sessions or after a long day at H3.

Overtraining 005 300x225 Avoiding a Burn Out

The ultimate objective is not to get burnt out or injured, but to appropriately and safely exercise creating lasting lifestyle changes. Remember, we train for life – not for chronic fatigue or worse injury.

How do I know if I’ve gone too far? In an article written for ACSM’s Health and Fitness Journal, by Dixie Thompson, Ph.D, FASCM, she states that overtraining results when exercise bouts are too long and/or too intense without adequate time for our bodies to recover. Overtraining can also occur when we completely immerse ourselves into an exercise program before gradually easing into the routine.

So let’s never be there – It’s all about recognizing the warnings signs, yet the best approach is to avoid overtraining all together. Here’s how:

Identify Common Cautions:

- Overly excessive fatigue

- Chronic muscle soreness or joint pain

- Increased susceptibility to infections

- Changes in blood pressure

- Elevated resting heart rate

- Psychological: irritability, depression, and anxiety

- Inability to relax, fidgety

That’s what you should be on the lookout for, although here’s how to avoid symptoms of overtraining entirely:

Listen to your body. Sticking to a routine is important; however when your tired your tired – take a day off if your body is asking for it.

Ease into the exercise program. Gradually adjust the workout routine, intensity, volume and duration.

Eat a healthy diet and drink ample water. The proper amount of hydration and nutrients will help your body adapt from exercise.

Stay flexible, Adjust your workouts. If you have had a particularly slam packed day of exercise, go lighter the next day or rest completely.

Set a bed time, Plan time for relaxation. Preferably get 8 hours of sleep, and if you happen to be at H3 head to a stretch and relaxation class or better yet schedule a massage!

Overtraining

In summary, never workout when your in excruciating pain – take a day off if need be. You know your body, so it’s up to you to recognize the cautions. This does not mean taking off weeks at a time, just hold yourself accountable. Keep in mind, we’re training for life not life long exhaustion. Anyways, good luck with your current health and fitness goals and keep up the hard work!

The Biggest Loser

Whenever I tell people where I work, I usually get the same response “Oh, so it’s like The Biggest Loser?!” And then unfortunately I have to tell them, “No, not at all.”

Well, I guess that is not entirely true. Hilton Head Health, like The Biggest Loser, is based on jumpstarting an exercise program, learning how to eat healthy and make changes to live a healthy lifestyle. However, what stands us apart is that we provide the tools to make these changes sustainable and realistic. Also, we look at weight loss as a byproduct – not an end goal.

Don’t get me wrong, we see a great deal of weight loss success. But more importantly, we see life changes. Individuals leaving here accomplishing things they never thought possible – like going off of their insulin shots, learning to love vegetables, completing a 5K, or even just walking 10 minutes straight on the treadmill. The stories (and possibilities) are endless.

Thanks to the popular show on NBC, the reality of losing weight and making these life changes has been showcased through the stories of ‘real’ people.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion about the show; some feel the show is a little too intense as others find it motivating. What is true – is that it is definitely creating awareness in the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.

See what Adam Martin, H3 Fitness Director, had to say about the controversial show.

“The Biggest Loser is a show that gives the obesity pandemic the attention it so direly deserves. However, the ‘Hollywood’ gloss may be robbing Americans of the reality of weight loss. It may be time for The Biggest Loser producers to have a behind the scenes episode because simple math tells us that inordinate weekly weight loss with the recommended regimen is impossible.

In fact, a recent TIME magazine article interviewed participants and found that all they were eating was sugar free Jello and asparagus for several days, as well as, exercising vigorously in the sauna prior to the weekly weigh-in. These radical approaches to weight loss would never be recommended to the American public.

So, why then deceive common Americans with the perception that hard work and calorie control can result in such dramatic weight changes? Answer: because that’s what sells episodes! I KNOW that this altered perception of weight loss is affecting its viewers because on a weekly basis we have guests that have given their maximum physical and emotional effort in fitness classes only to weigh-in on a Friday morning and feel defeated by a number. The disgusting so-called ‘reality’ television is unfortunately not even close to a reality.

Therefore, I look forward to the upcoming ‘Reunion Show’ that airs the current lives of 40 of the past contestants. Let’s see what has truly made them successful for the long-haul, not what motivates them to radically alter their lifestyle in search of fame and fortune.”

-Adam Martin

PNF

By Jeff, H3 Program Intern and Amber, H3 Fitness Specialist

What would you do if someone walked by and asked: “Hey, can you PNF me real quick, my hamstrings are super tight?” At first thought, I’m sure your thinking: no way partner I definitely don’t know you that well! However, after checking out this blog I’m confident you’ll be game if someone happens to inquire.

PNF stretching stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, and is one of the most effective forms of stretching for increasing an individual’s range of motion. It not only increases flexibility, but can improve your overall muscular strength.

What’s more, PNF stretching is perfect for any major muscle group and best when performed with the help of a partner (so you can catch up with a friend at the same time)! The whole concept behind PNF is the combination of isometric stretching with the relaxation phase of passive stretching. By combining the two types of stretches, PNF functions in a routine of phases: contract-hold-relax.

Anyways, that’s a quick glimpse on the aspects and benefits of PNF stretching – now it’s time to experience it for yourself! Grab a friend and follow along as I walk you through the steps for safe PNF stretching of the wicked tight hamstrings!

1) Begin by warming up the entire body – not just the intended muscle group. PNF stretching is more advanced than ordinary static stretches, hence warming the muscles is important for injury prevention.

2) Start the first PNF stretch by performing a basic hamstring stretch for about 10 to 20 seconds.

PNF Hamstring Stretch

3) Next, venture into the contraction phase by pushing the back of your leg against the grip of your friend! Contract for 5 to 10 seconds.

PNF 2

4) Immediately following, relax the hamstring and have your partner push your leg a bit deeper into a passive stretch. Hold for roughly 30 seconds.

PNF 3

5) Lastly, it’s time to give your pal a break! Relax the muscle for about 30 Seconds.

PNF 4

6) Repeat steps 3 through 5, two to three more times making sure to perform equal repetitions for both legs. By means of the tested routine Contract-Relax-Hold.

After completion of stretching the stiff hamstrings it’s perfectly okay to move on to other muscle groups; in fact I recommend it while you still have the assistance of a friend! Stretching is the most underutilized forms of total wellness, but try to wait 48 hours in between PNF stretching sessions.

Remember, stretching should never be painful even if it is PNF! Make sure to only stretch the muscle to a mild discomfort, being courteous of your comrade. This form of stretching is more advanced, yet with a little time, patience and practice you’ll each be professionals in no time!

Frigid Fitness: Deciphering the Degrees

By Jeff, H3 Program Intern

As winter approaches, the temperature is not only changing, but our thoughts of exercising outside begin to freeze. We start to say to ourselves: “Not today, it’s too cold to exercise outside; I’ll exercise when it warms up!” Well here’s the deal, it’s never to cold to exercise if you prepare!

With a few myths out there, it’s time to learn what’s factual and ten secrets to battling through tough temperatures.

Dispelling Cold Weather Myths

Cold-weather exercise isn’t safe.
False! Nearly everyone can exercise safely in the cold, even individuals with heart issues or asthma. As long as you check with your doctor and learn the H3 ten tough temperature secrets you’ll be fine!

I don’t need to drink as much water since I’m not sweating.
False! No matter who you are, you can become just as dehydrated in cold weather. It’s important to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout because hydration allows your body to regulate body heat.

See - it does get cold in South Carolina!

Ten Tough Temperature Secrets

1. Layer Up. It is essential to dress in layers so that you can easily remove them as the workout progresses. Start with a thin layer first – preferably material that draws away sweat like polypropylene. Make sure to avoid cotton and don’t over layer! Remember, exercise does generate a good amount of heat, thus the goal of clothing preparation is to balance sweating versus shivering.

2. Block It. You may not be aware, but the sun can be just as harmful (if not more so) in the winter months. Go ahead and put on some sunscreen, lip balm, and sun glasses.

3. Head towards the Wind. If at all possible, begin the walk, jog, bicycle loop or other workout in the prominent direction of the wind. This way on the journey back home, you’ll not only have an extra push, but you’ll be much less likely to get the chills.

4. Make your Motivation. Obviously we’d rather reside in our nice warm beds, but it’s important to maintain our fitness levels over the wintry weather months. This year really make yourself accountable by recording your workouts or performing them with a friend or next door neighbor. Set a goal for the spring and come up with your own personal rewards system for venturing out into the icy elements.

5. Know the Signs. Be able to recognize the signs of frostbite and hypothermia. These are two injuries that can with no trouble result from exercising in cold weather. By understanding the signs and symptoms you can easily avoid and treat these common cold weather injuries and know when to head home!

Signs of frostbite include: numbness, burning, tingling, skin turning white, hard, starts to itch, and/or peels.

Signs of the more severe hypothermia include: shivering, goose bumps, confusion, muscle stiffness, lack of coordination, slurred speech and even unconsciousness.

6. Protect the Essentials. Exposing yourself to the cold certainly poses greater risk to your extremities. Bundle up your hands, feet, and head to protect yourself from frostbite. Lastly, make sure to follow these ten secrets because each will factor into a safe winter exercise experience.

7. Stay Dry. Clothing that becomes wet from rain or precipitation will unquestionably effect your body’s ability to regulate heat.

8. Check the Weather. You’ll not only know how many layer to wear, but sometimes it is just too cold or windy to exercise outside. Pay attention to the wind chill because it is one more factor to increase the need for insulation.

9. Switch to a Wintry Weather Workout. Pick up or learn a new sport/exercise specific to the winter months. Try cross-country skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing or even snow boarding. If snow is unavailable you’re your looking to stay warm, find another alternative hit up the gym scene or a new exercise video.

10. Consume Complex Carbohydrates. Just like exercising in the heat, foods high in carbohydrates enable the body to properly regulate its temperature. Additionally, they provide the body that extra energy if need be. Warm complex carbohydrate foods are particularly ideal such as breads, soups, potatoes and cereals.

Or if all else fails, take a trip down to Hilton Head Health, where we are enjoying 70 degree beautiful weather!

Conquering the Gym Fear

By Jeff, H3 Program Intern

We’ve all been there. Faced with taking a new class or starting a new job – these experiences not only expose us to an entire new group of people, but fears of the unknown and the uncertainty factor tends to set in. Fascinatingly enough, these same fears go hand in hand with becoming a new member at a gym.

What will people think of me? Will I fit into the mix? What if I can’t perform up to everyone’s level? Will they stare, laugh?

All sensible questions, yet we must understand that these butterflies are typical for every single new experience.

Strength Zone

Every now and then, a class is offered here at H3 to help Guests overcome fears of the gym that may be colluding in their minds.

The basis of the “Overcoming Your Fear of the Gym” class is to allow Guests an open forum to not only discuss their personal fears, but provides a few definite tips for conquering gym uncertainties. Below is your quick guide to tackling any qualms before joining the ranks of your local fitness facility.

- Before you join a gym, try out a free session. This will allow you to gain a feel of the environment with a one day trial pass.

- Choose a health club with a relaxed atmosphere. A place where you feel comfortable, a local YMCA is a great option!

- Make sure you are familiar with the fitness equipment. Fluency in equipment lingo leads to immediate gym confidence. Most gyms provide an orientation on gym equipment upon joining – if not, don’t be afraid to ask!

- Stick to the fitness equipment in which you feel most comfortable. This boosts motivation and allows for the best of workouts.

- Organize your routine before you walk in the door. An exercise plan keeps you focused and zeroed in on your workout.

- Participate in group fitness classes. This is an excellent way to meet other members and become oriented with the facility.

Hilton Head Health group fitness

- Go at the least crowded time. Before anyone else is awake, kick start your day with a morning workout.

- Find a gym buddy. It’s a lot more difficult not to show up when someone else is depending on you.

- Check your priorities at the door. Exercise is for your benefit, leave worries of what other people think outside.

- Focus on your own workout by tuning others out. Find an exercise trance, bring an Ipod or mp3 device!

- Focus on personal targets. Set goals, write down what you hope to achieve by attending the gym.

- Hire a personal trainer. They’ll not only teach you all the exercises, but motivate you positively!

That’s the inside scoop folks. Therefore, take what you will and run with it or power walk it! It’s certainly understandable to be faced with these qualms; it’s a part of life. Recognize that your thoughts are beyond a doubt greater than others around you.

It is an admirable accomplishment to break out of the comfort zone and block out these gym fears. When it all boils down, we hit the gym for ourselves, no one else. We are there to improve our personal lifestyles and that is what we must remember.

Tip the scale in the ‘Wright’ direction

Obesity, Smoking, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer … Which enemy is our most formidable one? All practical guesses, but in reality the number one public health enemy happens to be ourselves. Crazy, right?

According to Bob Wright, long time Director of Health Education here at Hilton Head Health; it is not crazy in the least bit. We have to understand that the impact of our own behaviors is the supreme enemy affecting our health. Almost all conditions or diseases, even cancers can be accurately linked to our lifestyles and the choices we decide on!

In Bob’s lecture, “Public Health Enemy #1” he emphasizes a relationship between our good behaviors and bad behaviors, and how this relationship resembles a balance scale. Our job is to tip this balance scale in the right direction.

By gradually making moderate changes in our lifestyles, we can and will tip this scale in the right direction. Moving the scale will not only decrease our risks of other public health enemies, yet it will improve our overall health. So when it comes to public health enemy number one; which way is your scale leaning?

We may be able recognize that our scale is not leaning in the right direction, but what can be done to change this behavior imbalance? The key here is to remember that moderate changes in our behaviors go a long way. What’s more, we need to start making these changes before we get sick or develop an unfortunate condition.

As a majority, we tend to think of our health only when something goes wrong. NOW is the time to stop beating around the bush and to throw out any excuses; we are in fact the ultimate controller and our own enemy.

Thus, provided below are three straightforward changes gathered from the H3 lecture, “Public Health Enemy #1” that are directly related to reducing your risk of heart disease, but in effect pay dividends to other areas of your health.

1. Stay Active

- Sedentary people who start exercise reduce the risk of heart disease 40 – 50% .

- Contributes positively to warding off type II diabetes, stroke, respiratory ailments and cancer.

- In a study by Natural News, the risk of dying from cancer increased 45% for men and 28% for women due to lack of physical activity.

- Additionally, 20% of deaths of people 35 and older were attributed to lack of physical activity.

2. Quit Smoking

- Accounts for 20-40% of all heart disease deaths.

- 1 pack = 50 – 75 pounds of extra fat!

- Smoking is linked to lung cancer, respiratory ailments, and heart disease.

3. Maintain or Lose Weight

- As little as 5% of weight loss significantly reduces risk of heart disease.

- In an article written by WebMD’s Kathleen Zelman, interviewee David Katz MD, MPH of Yale’s Preventive Medicine Center states: ”Lifestyle changes that include healthier diets, regular physical activity, and weight loss of 7%-10% have shown phenomenal health benefits that can be more effective than medications.” (Article is definitely worth checking out)

- Weight loss can reverse or prevent diabetes, lower blood pressure, cholesterol, control triglyceride levels, and improve sleep apnea.

So there are the three most definite behavioral changes to start with. Bear in mind, no matter how stacked you are in the right direction there is always room for improvements. What’s more, we must have the drive and become geared up for change.

I think Bob put’s it best: “It’s not so much where you are, it’s where you’re moving.” So let’s move already– in the Wright Direction.

Take Strides at Sunrise

By: Jeff, H3 Program Intern

The morning alarm clock … nothing better than hearing that buzz, beep, or radio echo is there? Naturally we would rather hear many other sounds at that 7 a.m. hour of the morning, but luckily we can take advantage of that snooze button! Unfortunately, while we’re snoozing others are strolling to the sunrise and making the most of their morning march.

Sunset

Here at Hilton Head Health, Guests have the opportunity to fully utilize their time and walk one of the best beaches in South Carolina. The H3 experience is one of a kind and every day begins with a breathtaking sunrise beach walk. Many of our guests find beach walks to be one of their favorite experiences of the program, and in actuality use the time to prepare mentally for the day ahead of them. Among other things it’s also a great way to socialize with one another in a peaceful and calming atmosphere.

So here’s your morning motivation to take those strides at sunrise:

- Walking on the beach uses almost double the energy as walking on the street

- Some studies have shown that an average adult burns 25% or more calories walking wave side verses on a hard surface

- The uneven levels of the beach improves balance and coordination

- Reduces pressure on the largest joints in your body (the knees)

- Boosts your mood and diminishes stress

Not only is striding by the sunrise invigorating, but springing up out of the sack can really pay huge dividends for your health.

Beach

To put it simply, a guest (who by the way never misses a beach walk) once said to me “I enjoy beach walks, they are what I do … an awesome way to start the day.”

Move It Monday: Tread it Out

Decisions, decisions … what ought I do today? With limitless classes and possibilities at Hilton Head Health guests have the opportunity to participate in anything they desire! What’s interesting though is that the most popular class at H3 involves one of the universal least desired pieces of equipment: the notorious treadmill. This would lead you to believe that treading real isn’t too popular? Nevertheless, I am here to tell you that is lie, treading is truthfully the most popular class at H3.

Treading

So what makes this class so cherished? Here are the top ten reasons as to why guests love to tread it out, I am positive many of our guests would agree!

1) Time flies when you tread it out. In the midst of so many different elevation and speed intervals the class seems to be over before it even begins!

2) Allows all participants to work at their own pace. Every class becomes your own workout and it’s great because class after class an individual can challenge themselves further!

3) Ability to use what you want. What’s more! You can use virtually any piece of exercise equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical, NU Step.

4) it’s different each class. Typically there are 3 hills and 2 speed intervals per workout, but they always differ in time and intensity.

5) A variety of instructors and music. Nearly all instructors at H3 teach treading so there’s constantly a new motivator (a.k.a. instructor) and fresh music!

6) Priceless Camaraderie. At all times there are lots of partakers. Exercise classes are always more fun and inspiring with more people!

7) A workout to take home. Treading is transferable. Without a doubt an exercise class that can be performed with a friend or at the gym back home.

8) Encourages good posture, long strides, and deep breathing. Treading class really develops lasting safe exercise skills

9) You sincerely sweat it out. Such a great workout that it’s easy to sweat! However, it’s so fun that nobody minds!

10) Afterwards you feel amazing. Time and time again guests have mentioned that they feel refreshed! “Man, I feel great” or “That was an awesome workout!”

Therefore, when you return to Hilton Head Health or stay for your very first time – make sure to sign up early for treading. Otherwise, you’ll really be missing out on the top ten reasons to Tread it Out!

Want a sneak peek — try this H3 Treading Routine yourself. Once you fall in love – you will have to come visit H3 for the real thing!

What’s In a Word…..

Article written by Kelly Hillyer

fat farm: 1969 (noun) a health spa that specializes in weight reduction

When you think ‘fat farm,’ what typically comes to mind?—Dorm-style bunk bed living quarters, traveling in herds to the dining room, everyone performing the same mundane activities, Kirstie Alley…Just hearing the phrase causes a string of unpleasant images to flood into our heads, when in reality, according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary; a fat farm is “a health spa that specializes in weight reduction.” I think that it is time to re-evaluate and really re-consider the negative connotations associated with the phrase ‘fat farm.’

Consumer trends reveal that people between the ages of 44 and 62, who are searching for weight loss destinations, use the phrase ‘fat farm,’ which makes me think– the Baby Boomers are right on target. They know they want weight loss, and they’re not afraid to search for ‘fat farms.’

This makes me wonder- if the Baby Boomer generation has no problem calling them what they are, why does everyone else? What’s so wrong with calling them ‘fat farms’? Why do we, as a society, have a problem with telling our friends and family that we’re going to a ‘fat farm’ for the week to better our lives and to make the necessary improvements to our daily lifestyle?

I think that it is finally time to let go of the negative implications associated with ‘fat farms’ because no matter how you want to dress up a weight loss spa, fitness retreat, health resort, weight loss spa—you are in fact traveling to a destination for the purpose of losing weight aka fat farm.

For over 30 years, Hilton Head Health (H3) has been recognized as a premier weight loss destination in the United States. When you take a step back and look at the big picture experience H3 has to offer, you will see that it is one of the most innovative, personalized fat farms in the nation. H3 creates an individualized weight loss plan in a relaxed, comfortable environment that allows each Individual to take the necessary steps to a healthier life. Everything from the fitness regime to nutritional meal plan is tailored to the Individual, allowing and encouraging successful and sustainable weight loss.

In all, fat farms are the not-so-newest craze in health and fitness, but they are still one of the most effective approaches to weight loss.
