Why Train Smarter, Not Harder or Longer

While most people want to train harder and longer to lose weight and get in shape when they getting older, personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang advises that one should train smarter, not necessarily harder or longer to get the results.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC -- a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

Just because you've hit the 40's, 50's, 60's or older stage of your life, it doesn't mean you automatically need to hang up your athletic drive and take up pool aerobics. Of course, there is nothing wrong with turning to pool aerobics for fitness, but if you've been a competitive athlete, it's only natural to want to keep pushing yourself beyond the basics.

As we age, there is a gradual, and inevitable, decline in physical fitness ability. It doesn't have to be dramatic or sudden, but it will happen. If you can be prepared for it, and adjust both your physical fitness routine and your attitude, you may find that you can still compete at a high level.

If you still strive for peak performance and enjoy pushing yourself, you can still make the most of your workouts. To do so safely and comfortably, take a look at at the following tips.

1. Maintain Your Strength
Building and maintaining muscle strength is the best way to protect your joints from injury. Aging joints are more prone to arthritis and degenerative changes, but strong muscles, tendons and ligaments can take the pressure off the joints. Strong muscles will absorb more shock and are far more resilient to stress. Resistance exercise also helps prevent osteoporosis and bone loss, reduce lower-back pain, improve insulin resistance and glucose metabolism and reduce blood pressure. Building more strength is one of the best ways to lower body fat levels and maintain fitness with age. If you don't like weight training, you can still get full body strength building with yoga, and basic bodyweight routines.

2. Change your exercise routine
Avoid doing the same exercise routine day after day. By varying your exercise, you will help reduce the risk of overuse injuries, tendinitis, and joint pain. You will also reduce the specific muscle fatigue that comes from using the same muscles and movement patterns day after day.

3. Change Your Exercise Intensity
Rather than sticking with the same 30-45 minutes of steady cardiovascular exercise day after day, mix it up with some easy, long, slow exercise sessions, and then some shorter, more intense workouts, and even a few high intensity efforts of 30-60 seconds. The variety will challenge your cardiovascular system in new ways, and help you gain and maintain fitness improvements through the years. But do keep in mind that your hard efforts will most likely not be the same as in the past, and try to avoid competing with the youngsters. It's a set-up for injury.

4. Pay Attention To Your Body
Aging athletes may not like the idea of slowing down and listening to the voice that says not to overdo it, but it's critical that you accept that you can't push yourself to the same extent as the 20-year old you. This is where the power of wisdom should emerge. If your muscles are screaming at you to back off and something feels a bit off, you should listen to your body and back off. Pay attention to that voice of wisdom. It may help you avoid a muscle strain or worse. Many injuries occur when an athlete is fatigued, and this is even more likely with an older athlete.

5. Warm Up Longer and More Fully
Older athletes need to give their bodies a bit of extra time to warm up the muscles, joints and boost the blood flow.

6. Work On Your Balance
Balance and proprioception decrease with age, so spending time working specifically on this aspect of your sport can help you perform better, react more quickly and avoid injuries from missteps and falls. The easiest balance exercise is to stand on one foot. Make it harder by adding a movement, such as a half-squat or leg lift, and make it very challenging by closing your eyes. Do these exercises several times a week to work your nervous system along with your muscular system.

7. Take More Rest Days
Yep, it's true, the older you are, the longer it will take to recover from your workouts. So take a bit more down time for every hard training day you have. It's especially important for any hard strength training workouts, or and hard interval training days. Again, listen to your body and if you need two days off, take it.

How to Recommit New Year's Resolutions for Weight Loss

Summer Outdoor Workout Stretching

New Year’s Eve bell seemed to be so far away that more than 50% people have already forgotten their New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, exercise regularly and eat healthy by July. “It’s about time to recommitting to your New Year’s resolutions. And it’s never too late. You can start any day, any time. Winners don’t quit,” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

“I think most people put so much emphasis on the once-a-year all-or-nothing approach to lose weight that they’re doomed to fail from from the get-go,” Yang says. “The mindset needs to change. Just like everything else we do in life. We have the end goals in mind in the beginning, We have a plan. We have small actions step to tackle. We follow up and check our progress every so often. Then we modify or change the course to reach the goal. It’s the same thing as in the health, fitness and weight loss. People get caught up with so much media confusion.”

Yang offers 7 steps to re-evaluate mid-year and to re-commit New Year’s resolutions:

Step 1. Identify your three greatest accomplishments
Even if this year was a challenging year for you, odds are if you look close enough there’s something somewhere to be proud of.

Step 2. Analyze what you learned from each accomplishment
Now that you have identified your three greatest accomplishments, go back to each one. This time though identify exactly what you learned or were reminded of by each of them.

Step 3. Identify your biggest disappointments
Practically every company and individual resists analyzing their mistakes. That’s a shame because this is where the best learning comes from.

Step 4. Analyze what you learned from each failure or disappointment
No matter how great everything in life is going – we all make mistakes. The trick here is to really analyze them, what preceded them, what could you have done differently, and how can you prevent them in the future.

Step 5. Identify how you limited yourself last year and how can you stop
Were there certain actions you took or didn’t take that came back to haunt you? In order to make sure you don’t limit yourself again – you need to bring these self-defeating actions to the surface, confront them, and most importantly determine what you must do differently to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes all over again.

Step 6. Pragmatically review the information you have gathered
The goal of this exercise is not simply to know yourself and your business better but to actually use the information to make certain next year far surpasses this year. What are the big takeaways from answering each question? What do you know about yourself or your business that you didn’t realize or weren’t thinking about. Obviously, having this list isn’t going to do it all, you still need to take this new knowledge and use it.

Step 7: Use this Information to amaze yourself next year
The purpose here is to build in to your schedule, your interactions, your management style or whatever else you’ve surfaced in the previous questions and build yourself a new better approach.

Chris Christie tried it. But is lap band weight loss surgery right for you?

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently revealed that he had underwent lap-band weight loss surgery to lose weight and improve health. Is weight loss surgery right for you? Morris County NJ personal trainer weights the pros and cons.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie revealed he secretly underwent a weight-loss surgery in February known as the lap band and has dropped roughly 40 pounds since. Christie agreed to the operation at the urging of family and friends after turning 50 last September.

“I want to applaud him for taking this big step to do something about his weight, not for political reason, for himself and his family,” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in Morris County New Jersey.

“Now not every one can just walk up to the doctor for the surgery. There are certain criteria you have to meet. Although it indeed helps drop some initial weight quick in the beginning, it’s not a cure-all. I know some people gain a good part of lost weight back as they don’t commit to adopting a healthy lifestyle change, and engaging regular exercise and a healthy diet,” Yang says. “There are also benefits, risks and side effects that one has to consider.”

The following criteria may make you a candidate for weight loss surgery:

1. A body mass index (BMI) greater than 40.
2. Your BMI is greater than 35, and you have obesity-related health problems that may improve with weight loss.
3. You can demonstrate that traditional weight loss programs like diet and exercise haven’t worked.
4. You are ready to commit to permanent lifestyle changes after surgery.
5. You understand the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery.

The primary benefit of weight loss surgery is weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery causes an average loss of 61% of excess weight. Gastric banding surgery causes slightly less at an average of 47% of excess weight lost. Improvements in general health are also common. Obesity-related medical conditions usually improve or even go away after weight loss surgery, including diabetes, severe arthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.

Weight loss surgery carries real risks. As many as 10% of people have complications afterward. Usually problems are only unpleasant or inconvenient, and might cause some pain and discomfort, or require additional surgeries, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, wound infections, and abdominal hernias.

Serious complications do occur after weight loss surgery and can sometimes be life-threatening such as blood clot to the lungs (pulmonary embolism), leaks in the new surgical, gut connections, bleeding ulcers, and heart attacks.

Weight loss surgery should be the beginning of a new and healthy lifestyle. To make the most of the surgery and to maximize results, people need to:

1. Eat healthy
Nearly all severely obese people have unhealthy eating habits. A common problem is “binge eating.” After weight loss surgery, eating large amounts of food at one sitting can make you sick. For many people, learning to eat small, frequent meals is a challenge.

2. Exercise
Keeping weight off is far easier when a person is active and exercises. In addition, exercise reduces rates of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. To maintain weight loss in the long term, exercise is essential.

Such profound changes in lifestyle don’t happen automatically or easily for most. It’s simply but not easy. Pounds don’t just pile on in one day. For people who need guidance, coaching or training, it’s best to see a weight loss coach or experienced personal trainer. http://www.BeyondFitnessSolutions.com.

Partner Training with a Workout Buddy Speeds Up Weight Loss Results

NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang explains why fitness training with a buddy (spouse, family, friend or coworker) as semi-private or partner training can provide lasting motivation, lose weight and get in shape faster.

Buddy Workout Partner Training

“There is always a better way. I have helped countless people lose weight, build muscle and get in shape over the years. People don’t need to struggle their way through the weight-loss journey,” says Carey Yang, a certified persona trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

“Some people keep their motivation up and momentum going, see their weight loss results faster than others. The question is why is that. What makes these people more successful than others. Of course, hiring a personal training is one thing. But that’s not all of them,” Yang said.

Yang said, to beat the New Year’s Resolutions Syndrome, you need to watch out who you’re associated with. You are the product of five of your closest friends. Research shows that obesity is epidemic and contagious. Some people call it “sympathetic weight gain” with your friends.

On the other hand, thinness could be contagious too. See who has the upper hand over the other.So stay close to your fit and healthy friends. But don’t break up with your overweight friends as yet. Just be aware and stay conscious in your environments. Stay away from sources that drain your energy and damage your health. Make friends with like-minded people who are positive, fit, healthy, high-energy and high-performance.

“If you want to lose weight and change your habits, buddy up with a like-minded friend who shares a similar goal with you,” Yang said. “Buddy System is one great way to help you (both of you) stay on track. It’s commonly called semi-private training or partner training that two people share the same training session and cost. Buddy training is definitely a cost-effective, fun and mutually accountable way to get in shape.”

According to a psychology professor John C. Norcross at the University of Scranton, “having someone to exercise or someone who bugs you about going to the gym doesn’t make a difference in January, but it does in February.”

“People can tough it out on their own for a month, but after that it gets hard.” said Professor Norcross. The exercise pal — or cop, in the case of a nagging friend, spouse or office mate — adds incentive. Your workout buddy or accountability partner will cheer you up and keep you going on occasions where you have the moment of “I don’t feel like it.” or “It’s too (you name it excuses).”

Yang encourages people want to train together to interview personal trainer together to find the mutually accepted personal trainer, training style and training schedule. For more information about buddy training, visit http://www.beyondfitnesssolutions.com.

Denville, Morris county NJ personal trainer and fitness coach Carey Yang demonstrates the fastest fat burning, calorie-blasting circuit training and workout routine to jump-start sculpting for swimsuit beach-ready body.

Swimsuit Workout

Although spring has been muted this year, summer is not too far away. It’s not too late to lose winter weight gain, get fit and in shape for swimsuit beach-ready body.

Denville, Morris County personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang shows a calorie-blasting, fat-burning circuit workout routine to help people shed fat, slim down, tone up and get in shape for the summer swimsuit season.

“To lose fat and tone up, you still have to watch your diet and nutrition combined with proper exercises to build some muscle and lost fat in strategic areas,” Yang says. “It’s particularly important for women to get their bikini body ready.”

Circuit training and workout routine is essentially doing at least 5 or more exercises one after another without little or no break in between. It usually goes by time for each exercise.

Pullup and Lower Abs Curl by Carey Yang

For thousands of middle-aged men and women frustrated to get rid of love handles and belly fat now can learn from Morris County NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang with the most effective and challenging bodyweight exercise.

“The middle section is the common trouble area for both men and women. It takes a variety of exercises from different angles and directions to sculpt abdominals, obliques, particularly lower abdominal muscles,” Yang says. “Don’t forget. Your six pack abs grow from your kitchen. That means you have to be diligent in your nutrition and diet plan to support your fitness and exercise training program.”

Here is an example of 2-in-1 bodyweight exercise that combine wide-grip pullup and leg lift all in one move. “Both exercises are challenging in their own merit. Focus on quality, not quantity. Pay attention to muscle contraction. Do multiple sets of 3 to 5 repetitions if you have to.” Yang says.

March Madness Weight Loss Fitness Training Special

Carey Yang, CPT - Denville Morris County NJ Personal Trainer

It’s March Madness time for NCAA Basketball tournaments to crown national champions. Denville, Morris County NJ personal trainer Carey Yang announces a special March Madness special to celebrate the national craze for college basketball games.

“Now it’s springtime. Although the weather hasn’t been so kind this winter, it shouldn’t prevent you from working out and eating healthy. If you haven’t done so, it’s about time for spring training and getting ready for summer beach swimsuit season,” Yang says.

Yang offers four strategies to help overweight and obese men and women burn fat 24/7 by optimizing fat burning hormones and elevating metabolism around the clock.

1. Optimized Nutrient Combining: Avoid deadly nutrient combination of carb and fat. Release of insulin and fat promote storage. Do this by simply protein in every meal.

2. Carb Syncing: Prime your body with carb at the right times, in the morning and after intense exercise.

3. Strategic Overfeeding: Restricting calories and dieting put your body to starvation mode and decrease your metabolism to burn less fat. Strategic overfeeding resets your metabolism and keep your fat-burning furnace running again.

4. Metabolic Resistance Training: This type of exercise provides a huge metabolic stimulus to the entire muscular and cardiovascular systems at the same time through strategically designed full body resistance training combined with minimal rest. This is what allows for an unparalleled exercise-induced increase in metabolism for hours and hours after your session—something we call the “after burn.”

“When you combine the metabolism power of Metabolic Resistance Training with the hormone-regulating power of Optimized Nutrient Timing, Carb Syncing, and Strategic Overfeeding, the only thing your body can do is respond by burning fat 24/7,” Yang says.

Spring Forward to Pump Up Dormant Winter Muscles

It’s Spring Forward time today to adjust clock one-hour forward! If the history is the guide, at least one-third people who made their New Year’s weight-loss resolutions would have quit by now according to a study by the University of Scranton.

“Winter weather has been cold and brutal. It becomes a deterrence to many people who vow to eat healthy, exercise more and regularly after the New Year. Inconvenience is another excuse for people to put off their New Year weight loss resolution.” Yang said. “Winter blues doesn’t help either. People tend to move less and eat more.”

Now spring is just around the corner. Weather is getting nicer. Temperature is rising. “It’s definitely a good time to spring-forward or jump-start your weight loss and workout,” Yang said.

Yang offers four strategies to help overweight and obese men and women burn fat 24/7 by optimizing fat burning hormones and elevating metabolism around the clock.

1. Optimized Nutrient Combining: Avoid deadly nutrient combination of carb and fat. Release of insulin and fat promote storage. Do this by simply protein in every meal.

Best Exercises and Workout Routines to Lose Fat and Tone up Back and Thighs

For hundreds of thousands of middle-aged Americans having trouble in getting rid of flabby back fat and jiggly thigh fat now can learn from Morris County NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang with the simple and most effective 2-in-1 combination toning exercise.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

“Women are particularly having trouble in their back and thighs. Obesity is now epidemic and spreading to younger people in their 20s and 30,” Yang says. “Don’t forget. Nice and firm body starts from your kitchen. That means you have to be diligent in your nutrition and diet plan to support your fitness and exercise training program.”

Lat and back muscles are also typical problem area because most people sit and slouch while working on their computers, watching TV or driving. Strengthening back muscles helps correct poor body alignment and posture.

As people sit more, they don’t exercise their legs as much. Walking is a great general exercise. It still doesn’t work the leg muscles as much, particularly in the trouble areas.

Here is an example of 2-in-1 toning workout routine that combine squat and low row exercises all in one move. “Both exercises are challenging in their own meirt. Focus on quality, not quantity. Pay attention to muscle contraction. Do multiple sets of 3 to 5 repetitions if you have to.” Yang says.

Super Bowl Fat-Burning Pre-Game Workout Routine by Morris County NJ In-Home Personal Trainer

Super Bowl 2013 is in full swing. Debate is hot on which team will win. Betting keeps going up. “Super Bowl is the largest sports event even if you don’t watch (American) football games in regular season,” says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert.

This year Super Bowl XLVII is the National Football League (NFL) championship game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Baltimore Raves and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2012 season. It is scheduled to be played Sunday, February 3, 2013, at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kickoff time is scheduled for approximately 6:30 p.m. EST.

Super Bowl is more than just a champion game between two of the best teams of the year. It’s about entertainment, partying, foods, drinks, commercials, advertisements, half time show and gossips. It means business.

Traditional Super Bowl party involves heavy fatty and greasy foods that can derail New Year’s resolutions to lose weight just one month later.

“It doesn’t have to be this way. I have created fat burning and conditioning workout routines you can do at various points during the Super Bowl game and party,” Yang says.

Why New Year's Resolution Syndrome Can Be More Deadly Than Flu Epidemic

New Year's Resolutions Goal List

For millions of Americans who are suffering from “New Year’s Resolution Syndrome” now may find out weight loss resolution can be more deadly than the flu epidemic spreading across the nation, according to Denville, Morris County, NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang.

“New Year’s Resolutions syndrome is a epidemic disease in different context in that people are making the same-old-but-never-worked New Year’s resolutions over and over. It’s insane to expect different and better results by doing the same old,” Yang says.

“It’s the second week after the New Year. If the past history is the guide, one-third of people who vow to exercise and eat well already quit. New Year’s resolutions for weight loss are illusions or illusive goal-setting tool that have failed people many times over,” Yang says.

Yang adds, the problem is that people make resolutions with right intentions but wrong attitudes. It comes from the place of fear and not having or lack of true passion and commitment.

The single biggest key to improving both your performance and your results seems to go ignored by almost everybody. If you want to be at the top of your game you absolutely must review, analyze, and learn from what has already happened.

Here are 7 steps to follow to ensure your New Year’s resolutions stick.

Step 1. Identify your three greatest accomplishments

Even if this year was a challenging year for you, odds are if you look close enough there’s something somewhere to be proud of.

Step 2. Analyze what you learned from each accomplishment

Now that you have identified your three greatest accomplishments, go back to each one. This time though identify exactly what you learned or were reminded of by each of them.

Step 3. Identify your biggest disappointments

Practically every company and individual resists analyzing their mistakes. That’s a shame because this is where the best learning comes from.

Step 4. Analyze what you learned from each failure or disappointment

No matter how great everything in life is going – we all make mistakes. The trick here is to really analyze them, what preceded them, what could you have done differently, and how can you prevent them in the future.

Step 5. Identify how you limited yourself last year and how can you stop

Were there certain actions you took or didn’t take that came back to haunt you? In order to make sure you don’t limit yourself again – you need to bring these self-defeating actions to the surface, confront them, and most importantly determine what you must do differently to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes all over again.

Step 6. Pragmatically review the information you have gathered

The goal of this exercise is not simply to know yourself and your business better but to actually use the information to make certain next year far surpasses this year.

What are the big takeaways from answering each question? What do you know about yourself or your business that you didn’t realize or weren’t thinking about?

Obviously, having this list isn’t going to do it all, you still need to take this new knowledge and use it.

Fortunately, that’s what the last question is centered around. And here it is…

Step 7: Use this Information to amaze yourself next year

The purpose here is to build in to your schedule, your interactions, your management style or whatever else you’ve surfaced in the previous questions and build yourself a new better approach.

Why New Year's Resolutions Are Weight Loss Illusions

For millions of Americans who are suffering from “New Year’s Resolution Syndrome” now can find their ultimate cure from Morris County, NJ personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang. “New Year’s Resolutions syndrome is a epidemic disease in different context in that people are making the same-old-but-never-worked New Year’s resolutions over and over. It’s insane to expect different and better results by doing the same old,” Yang says.

“New Year’s resolutions for weight loss are illusions or illusive goal-setting tool that have failed people many times over,” Yang says. “People vow to make changes on New Year’s day then go on for a few days or weeks. Most will quit in a month. By the end of January, one-third of people quit. Only half people still stay on their New Year’s resolutions after 6 months.”
