Getting The Most Out Of Your Gym Membership

So you have finally taken the plunge and decided to start a gym membership with Spunk Fitness. Congrats! Now what? It is easy to sign up for a gym and think that means that you have done all that you need to do. However, to get the full benefits from your Spunk Fitness membership, you have to put more effort in than that. Here are our tips for getting the most out of your gym membership:

Make Time For It

An extremely popular excuse for not working out is that “there isn’t enough time.” However, if you make exercise a priority, you will make time for it. Even if you only have time for a half hour workout, go for it! You can always take a long walk after dinner if you do not feel you got everything you could out of your workout.

Be Prepared

If you are always ready for the gym, you have one less excuse not to go. Keep a gym bag packed and either near the entrance of your home or in your car. This way, any time you have to workout, you can take advantage of it, no excuses.

Visit During Off-Hours

If you feel hesitant to head to the gym because of the large crowd, going during less popular times may help ease your anxiety. Additionally, this ensures that you can have access to the full range of equipment.

Get Fitness Instruction

At Spunk Fitness, we offer free fitness instruction for all our members. We can help you with your exercise program, teach you how to use various equipment, and consult you on proper technique. Classes will even help you meet new people and make friends, giving you even more incentive to come to the gym. Whether you want a one-on-one training session or you would prefer a group fitness class, Spunk Fitness can help! 

Regardless of your fitness goals, Spunk Fitness is here to help you get the most out of your membership. Contact us today for more information!

Simple Hacks for Healthy — Yet Satisfying — Summer Treats

Image
The last few months of the summer tend to bring the hottest temperatures – and the strongest cravings for summer’s best cold treats like popsicles, ice cream sundaes, bars and cakes, creamy shakes, and decadent frappes and iced coffee drinks. As we’re all too aware, these treats spell disaster for weight loss results and can sabotage the hard work of following a strict nutrition plan coupled with fitness center workout sessions. The good news is that you don’t have to deprive yourself completely of these sweet, cold summer treats: you just need to hack them. By making some simple changes to their ingredients, you can enjoy satisfying treats without the guilt or the calories. Ice Cream: Creamy, Lower-Calorie Substitutions The average ice cream is loaded with full-fat dairy. To boost the nutrition and reduce the calorie count while keeping that creamy texture, make your own ice cream in a blender using healthier substitutes. You can play it safe with Greek yogurt or almond milk, or get a...

Tips for Choosing the Weight Loss Diet Plan That’s Right for You

Image
 If you’ve decided it’s time to get serious about losing weight and getting healthier, you’ve probably noticed there are scores of diet plans to choose from. To help you navigate the process of choosing a weight loss plan that will complement your fitness center workouts and health goals, here are a few tips. 1. Recognize That There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Plan for Everyone. There are many things that play into which diet plan is best for each person: physique, genetics, health conditions, weight loss needs, etc. Just because a friend has success with a certain plan doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Trying every plan that’s out there until you find the right one isn’t advisable, either. Yo-yo dieting can wreak havoc on your metabolism and make it even harder to lose weight. Your body and your need are unique, so don’t fall for claims that any one diet is guaranteed to work for everyone. 2. Consult with a Health Professional or Certified Trainer. The best way to determine which weight...

Balancing the 3 Aspects of Fitness in Your Personal Routine

If you’re new to ‘doing’ fitness, it can be hard to know where to start. Showing up at the fitness gym is the first step, but then what? Without hiring a personal trainer to accompany your workout sessions at the health club, how else can you know where to start? Here are some basics to planning and implementing your own fitness routine. The ultimate goal of a personal fitness routine is a balance that includes the three basic aspects of physical fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Doing all cardio and no strength training may lead to muscle imbalances, injuries, and lack of muscle tone. On the other hand, strength training all the time might leave you buff, but panting after going up a flight of stairs. Neither of these are useful if you are unable to flex and move your body through its full range of motion. Cardio-respiratory Endurance The ACSM recommends the following minimum level of cardio-respiratory exercise: At least 150 minu...
