It's the Matt and Matt Show

By queenjaneen on 6/17/2008 8:55 PM

It was fun having Beat's head trainer Matt Wiedermer and our trainer Matt Naegel, owner and Head Trainer at BEAT in West Chester, on our show Tuesday. Matt N. spoke about how Chris's endurance has improved 20-fold since starting with BEAT. He is healthier then when he was a teenager!

It is wonderful to see so many different people at BEAT, young, older, physically challenged and those that are working on getting healthier. There is no judgment at BEAT. Everyone is treated as an individual and there is no competition. You only compete with yourself and are never compared to anyone else. We all root for each other.

Matt W. gave some great healthy tips-

1. Drink a gallon of water a day ( get a container from the store or Bed, Bath and Beyond that holds a gallon.)

2. Eat 3 salads a day to ensure good nutrition. This can be 2 cups of greens at a time, not huge salads.

3. Work with a trainer if you can ... Read More »

Vacation Shockers: 5 Tips to Keep You Fit
By Brian Dzubinski


Vacations are a wonderful time to get away from it all. A cruise, a camping trip or even a trip to visit the family for the holidays…an opportunity to take yourself miles away from your average routine.

But did you know that the average person gains almost a pound a day while on vacation?

That’s right!  Lazy vacation days usually lead to one dreaded thing: extra pounds.  As you embark on your next vacation adventure keep the following tips in mind and come home fitter than when you left!

Tip #1:  Be Active
If your travels keep you too busy for a workout, or if your hotel does not have an exercise room, make a conscious effort to be active everyday.  Go on a brisk walk after your day’s activities.  This is a great way to see a new city, play with the ... Read More »

It's the start of our second month!!!

By queenjaneen on 5/29/2008 3:57 PM

Chris and I can hardly believe our journey with BEAT personal training.  Who would have thought at the beginning of April that we would be 20 pounds thinner between the two of us and down over 20 inches on our bodies! And up several inches on Chris's chest, arms and thighs.  He has lost a whole pant size, which was his original goal, already achieved!I I never thought I would see my husband doing 30 push-ups in a row on his way to 50!!!

if you want results log onto www.beatpersonaltrianing.com and check it out!  Ask about thier 99 dollar special that includes a consultation and three workouts.  We'd like to see less of you!  But more importantly, a healthy you!

Matt says "Break that fast and eat your oats!"

By queenjaneen on 5/9/2008 7:19 PM

 Here is a great tip from our trainer Matt about Americans and the way they view the most important meal of the day. 

That is, they don't eat  it, "breakfast."  Its pretty typical that Americans tend to skip this very important meal.   We wake up to close to our time to leave for work, ... Read More »

It's week five!!!

By queenjaneen on 5/6/2008 8:01 PM

WE are continuing to get great personal training from Matt at BEAT.  You can get the same great training at all the locations. www.beatpersonaltraining.com  Today I saw Dr.  Pat Baker and he said "fitness is a journey, not a destination."  Exercise is something you should do your whole life.  We will all get old, but how do we want to get old- do we want to be sick and unable to do things or do we want to remain active in our golden years.  I love that all kinds of people are at BEAT, a 70 year old woman who wants to start feeling better and live a longer life.  a woman with a life-threatening condition they told her she couldn't cure, but she is defying the odds and BEAT is helping her to achieve a better quality of life through exercise.  There are also people who have lost 80 to 100 pounds or more and atheltes that want to enhance their sport through weight resistance. it is nice to see we are all in this together, n ...

It's Week Four Already!

It's Week Four Already!

 

It has been a great four weeks.  Last week Matt did an "unofficial" measuring and weighing because he thought he saw a "metamorphosis" taking place.  He was so excited to see the BEAT program working it's magic.  Chris has lost 6 pounds and me, i've lost 7!  But the even bigger news is in three weeks I lost 5 1/2 inches off of my waist and an additional 4 everywhere else.  Chris has gained almost an inch in his chest and arms, which is why he looks broader in the shoulder.  His tummy is also starting to shrink and have definition and he has also lost an inch there as well.  It has not been easy, but it is so worth the time spend to eat and exercise right.

Onward to week 3!

By queenjaneen on 4/19/2008 5:47 PM

Monday begins week three of our personal training with BEAT.  We are really starting to notice a difference.  Chris has lost another 2 pounds and the other day I was rushing around and looking for something to wear.  I grabbed a pair of pants I knew would not fit and low and behold they did- and even a little loose.  Three weeks ago, I could not even get them buttoned.

We are also starting to enjoy not feeling so stuffed all the time because we are eating smaller meals more often.

It was funny the other day, Chris was doing his first warm up exercise.  He was outside behind the Voice of America Center pulling a flat piece of metal with weights on it, attached to a strap.  He had to run up the parking lot like Rocky in Siberia training to fight Drago in Rocky 3.  As he was huffing and puffing to pull this piece of equipment, two little old ladies (my Mom and Aunt Delores wannabees) stopped their car ...
