A new promising study has went into how long the cognitive boost from exercise actually lasts.

"In the short term, exercise increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine which help a range of cognitive functions.

These neurochemical changes are understood to last up to a few hours after exercise. However, the researchers noted that other brain states linked to exercise were more long-lasting. For instance, evidence suggests exercise can enhance mood for up to 24 hours."

Another reason why physical education in schools should go hand in hand with the other curriculum.

The short-term boost our brains get after we do exercise persists throughout the following day, suggests a new study.

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! So todays topic is the results of a study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

And you know what? Its something I already knew. Its what I implement already with EVERY client who comes to me with the desire to loose body fat.

Even just today, I had a client mention how the plateau of weight loss stopped since they hired me.

Now the summary of the study is as follows: "Participants on a self-directed dietary education program who had the greatest success at losing weight across a 25-month period consumed greater amounts of protein and fiber, a study found. Personalization and flexibility also were key in creating plans that dieters could adhere to over time."

And I am a Health Coach who hates meal plans, I refuse to give them to clients. I educate them, and we focus on one little step at a time. The client always has autonomy on their lifestyle change (Diet). I am here to educate and help you find what works for you - for the rest of your life.

To take your 90-90's to the next level and increase hip mobility and potentially reduce lower back pain, try elevating your ankle and foot on the ground for a few seconds each repetition. Then try the other foot. If you have no mobility, use a block or even your hand to increase the stretch in that new range of motion.

If you've never done these you will surely feel it in your hip rotators!

Can only working out twice a week actually help you loose weight? YES!

I recommend to nearly everyone a twice a week gym routine, you do not have to go to the gym 5 days a week to get results.

Ideally, for someone 30+ it is a great idea to do twice a week in the gym and a couple of mobility days at home or in the gym since it is important to pay attention to that too as we get older.

Want to get started? Give me a call or shoot me message on here. I do this full time, and not just on the side so I can care about each of my clients.
