The start of a new exercise regimen carries the risk of potential injuries. Here are some tips for avoiding sports injuries from Laurie Towers, top New York City celebrity trainer and CEO of Physical Advantage PC, the sports and performing arts massage center in NYC.

Diet and exercise work hand in hand and one will support the other tremendously. ?You can?t out train a bad diet,? says Ms. Towers. ?To see the results you will do well to honor both of these principles.?

Ms. Towers offers the following diet tips for achieving weight loss success:

-Make conscious and reasonable choices that will become a lifestyle change instead of just a seasonal one.

-Avoid sugars, refined flour, fried foods and alcohol as much as possible.

-Be aware of hidden calories that lurk beneath the labels of ?healthy? foods. For example, a ?smoothie? can have as many calories as two Snickers bars.

-Eat breakfast within an hour of awakening and eat smaller portions throughout the day to keep energy levels balanced. This also keeps the metabolism in ?active? mode, ensuring a higher rate of sustained burning.

-Barbecuing is a healthy way to lose some of the extra calories that get added during other methods of cooking, providing the seasonings used are low in fat. For example, mustard and vinaigrette are healthier alternatives to a fried batter coating.

-When choosing summer drinks, nothing is better than Mother Nature’s original soft drink. Water is best for rehydrating, has zero calories, and is thirst quenching. It?s okay to enjoy a chilled Margarita now and then, but be aware of the sugars, sodium and calories and enjoy in moderation.

-Consider replacing sugary alcoholic drinks with wines that are lower in calories such as White Zinfandel (the lowest at 80 calories per glass), Chablis and Chardonnay.

Ms. Towers offers the following workout tips for achieving a toned beach body:

-All caloric burning begins and ends with cardio, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be boring. Cardio can be a great source of enjoyment during the warmer months. Once it gets warm outside, you can skip the gym and stay in shape while enjoying the great outdoors.

-Some great choices for cardio activity that can help achieve fitness goals include volleyball, bike riding, roller blading and walking/hiking.

For those who want to lose weight NOW to get the perfect beach here are Ms. Tower?s three favorite forms of cardio that also encourage some strength training interaction. She advises:

-Rowing: ?Probably the best form of cardio in my opinion as it not only burns at a high rate, but it gives a nice little nudge to targeting areas like back, arms and makes your abs get recruited into some stabilization activity. Nothing is better than a strong core.?

-Stationary bike: ?Another great form of cardio for heart rate elevation and at a heavier resistance. The stationary bike helps to work the quads, hamstrings and gluts out of their winter hibernation.?

-Treadmill: ?Great form of exercise that is joint-friendly. The rubber track pad absorbs most of the shock and allows you to change the angle to incline hitting various areas of the legs and gluts.?

?Most importantly, don?t forget to take care of your hard-worked body. Don?t let pains and strains from your workout derail your chance to get the perfect beach body,? says Ms. Towers. ?When pains strike I recommend that my clients use Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream. Simply rub this fast-absorbing topical pain reliever on after a tough workout and your muscles will thank you. You can also use before activity to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury.

?Health is not a luxury?it?s a necessity, says Ms. Towers, ?Stay focused and motivated to achieve the healthiest and best-looking version of you. Thoughts of health should not be limited to, or dictated by a calendar, or special occasion to prepare for. It is a lifetime investment plan that you will live off happily the more you put in.?

In numerous exercise programs, be it lifting weights for developing and tightening muscles or perhaps cardio vascular workout routines to increase endurance as well as shed weight, a lot of people do not perform enough stretches despite the fact that stretching exercises can be carried out by anybody at any age unless of course that individual has some physical restriction to extend. What is worse, many people do not even stretch both before and after exercising. Not known to many people, stretching also has anti aging benefits. 

Advantages of stretching exercises for muscle tissue growth 

Anyone conducting a particular workout program must always do stretching previous to and even after the exercise because doing this can present you with lots of benefits. It will not only assist you to condition yourself to get prepared for the workout and help cool you down after, additionally, it may improve your muscle groups and can enable them to grow as well.  

Stretching exercises encourage muscle development by lengthening parts of your muscles therefore, giving adequate space for additional muscle fibers to develop. This really is extremely beneficial for a person who does weight training. By attracting more muscle tissue, your muscles will both become stronger and bigger.  

Stretching your muscle tissues right after a rigorous workout can decrease muscle ache typically referred to as DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) which usually happens a full day after your workout. 

Aside from reducing the muscle discomfort, stretches also can prevent muscle cramps or other injuries if an individual is going to perform a physical activity that’s strenuous.  

Agility is an additional benefit that you could obtain once you do stretches. With increased agility, it is simple to finish those activities of everyday living. Furthermore, agility also gets essential in sports games as well as can provide you with much more advantages as opposed to those who don’t stretch at all.

You have to realize, that losing a lot of weight, or gaining muscle and strength, is not a race. This process has to be long-term with realistic short-term goals.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Now, we have all heard this quote. It has never been more truthful than in a weight loss or exercise program. People first start out all motivated and excited to train. They have goals of losing 30 lbs, or bench pressing 300 lbs, along with many other long term goals. But after training for a month, they start to get discouraged. They are not reaching their goals fast enough for their liking. Weight loss and exercise is a life changing process. There is no quick-fix solution.

You have to want to make life changes. Exercise is a way to help improve your health and reach your physical goals. There are no short-cuts that have long lasting effects.

Take your time and set short term goals that will help you reach your ultimate goals, 5 years from now. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go in the gym. They all started out like gangbusters, but a couple of months down the road, they quit.

Setting unrealistic short term goals is a sure fired way to set yourself up for failure.

Let’s say you want to lose that 30lbs, I mentioned earlier, in 1 year. You have an exercise program set up and a good healthy eating plan in place. There are 3500 calories in a pound. Let’s break that 30lb weight loss goal into calories per day. 30lbs x 3500calories=105,000 calories divided by 365 days=287.67 calories per day. To reach your goal of a 30lb weight loss in one year, you would have to burn off an extra 287.67 calories per day. That is the equivalent of roughly one chocolate bar per day.

Now, to make this happen, you need to have a healthy eating plan and a good exercise program in place. Through exercise and healthy eating habits, you will have no problem reaching a 30 lb weight loss in one year.

If having a 300lb bench press is one of you’re goals, and you currently bench 100lbs at a body weight of 150lbs, don’t expect to bench 300lbs overnight. It’s going to take some time.

Take your time, make changes to your life style, and you will easily meet you’re weight and fitness goals.
