HALF MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAM
The 13.1 mile half marathon is a highly respected race among endurance athletes. The physiology of the half marathon is straightforward–it is a test of stamina. Keys to successful half marathons are to begin with a well-structured plan that properly incorporate your abilities and goals, and to follow the plan with consistency.
The 2012 Country Music Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, April 28th. For more info, visit http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/nashville.
The RESULTS fitness Half Marathon Training Program is appropriate for those who wish to run, run/walk, or walk the half marathon. DO NOT FEAR! Three months is plenty of time for novice athletes to prepare their minds and bodies to complete a half marathon. Remember, endurance athletes are not made overnight. People become half marathoners with intelligent consistent training.
Pre-Requisite for Enrolling: We ask that all participants be comfortable covering a 3 to 4 mile distance regardless of pace (run, walk/run, or walk).
Program Includes: * One coached “long run/walk” each week

Please, go vote for Ann Blair as the “People’s Choice Award” @ www.missamerica.org. Also, best of luck to Miss Tennessee America, Erin Hately.
• Thanks to the Tennessean for the great article covering Franklin Road Academy’s Wellness Program, which featured FRA teachers/staff and myself.
• A BIG shout out to FRA for inviting me to come speak to their faculty/staff about “Healthy Tips and Tricks for Surviving the Holiday Season.” I hope the presentation helped you all make it through the holiday season without gaining that ONE pound!!!
• A BIG shout out to our new trainers and staff @ RESULTS fitness. Leann and I are looking forward to many years of success and lots of fun!!!
• Congratulations and Best Wishes to everyone celebrating a Birthday, Anniversary, Special Occasion, etc.


Happy New Year to you, your family, and that extra jiggle that somehow has showed up on your ________ (fill in the blank).
We're all super inundated with traditional New Year's resolutions this time of year: Through casual conversation, on TV and in the news, and most of all ... in our own heads (good ol' mind-body psychology 101)

And Why does the process of "just doing it" have to be so hard, why do we continually look for the magic pill, the magic piece of equipment, and/or the magic bullet?
Well it comes down to fundamentals, a system, support, and a smidge of want. You must know WHY you want to get into better shape, and then WANT to.
Get yourself a workout partner or program, get your butt moving, and let it happen ... stop fighting it.
Build momentum, feel better, and seek support and help.
That's it, the elusive "magic bullet."
We often spend more time thinking of a shortcut or looking for that "What the hell is that," TV gadget – that we could've been done with 3 workouts before we even get our butts up to buy the bogus gadget!
So my advice this year: Back to basics and old-fashioned moving. Moving is Step 1, moving with a purpose is Step 2. And so on.
I can't wait to share more stories and insight with you this year. I've got a ton of goodies on the way ... stay tuned and live with vigor & purpose.

Let’s ROCK 2012!

God Bless and Happy New Year, Friends!

COMMIT 2 be FIT,
Josh Rogers

I can’t believe the holiday season is here! Hopefully, everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving feasts. I read where the average American consumes 4500 calories on Thanksgiving—and I believe I did my share. However, I did participate in the Belle Meade Boulevard Bolt (5 mile run) the morning of and an “After Turkey Burn” 90 minute spin class the following day. The average American gains two-seven pounds during the six week celebration between Thanksgiving and New Year. Don’t be the average person this year!!!

10 Tips to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain


With the holiday season approaching, many of us find ourselves surrounded by festive food and the subsequent concern of weight gain. Studies have shown that the typical American may gain two to seven pounds over the six-week holiday season.

We may also find it harder to maintain our exercise program with all the holiday parties, shopping and travel. In addition, many people have much more stress during the holiday period, which can result in overeating as a "feel good" response.

The best way to avoid gaining weight over the holidays is to eat in moderation, keep a consistent exercise program and try my 10 tips to avoid holiday weight gain.

1. Stick to a regular routine with sleep and exercise. Many times feeling tired or stressed is mistaken for hunger.

2. Watch your alcohol intake. Alcoholic beverages contain "empty calories," offering little to no nutritional value and contributing to excess weight gain. Try having a seltzer with a lime twist or a glass of water between alcoholic drinks to help cut calories and remain well hydrated.

3. Eat a small, healthy meal before party time. It's a common misconception that you will lose weight by skipping meals. The truth is your metabolism slows down causing you to store body fat if calories are too limited for too long. Another negative result is that you are more likely to binge later at night resulting in greater weight gains.

4. Don't stand by the food at the party. You will be less likely to partake in unconscious snacking all night if you instead move, mingle and socialize with friends.

5. If you're hungry at the party, reach for the vegetables (without the dip), fruit or rye crackers. If you do host a party have plenty of water and low-calorie snacks available.

6. Eat slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to register a "full" sensation and signal the brain that it's had enough. Slow down and listen to your body.

7. Set goals and keep a food diary. Plan your weekly food intake and calorie count to include those treats or Christmas cookies in your diet -- in moderation, of course. Don't totally avoid sweets and holiday food; just plan for it and eat more fruit and vegetables during the week to allow for this. With this plan you can also avoid the guilty feeling afterward that can add to your stress level.

8. Eat protein. Quality protein includes lean meats, seafood, chicken, turkey, eggs, yogurt and low-fat cheeses. Protein will help you feel full and control your appetite.

9. Try to stay consistent with your workout routine. Don't fall prey to the excuse that you'll get back on track after New Years Day or when the weather warms up again. You may need to modify your program for the busy holidays. Do what you can, but keep it up, trying new fitness activities and cross training to keep things fresh and fun. Seek out a professional to help you with your program if you need motivation.

10. Always remain positive. If you do have a "bad" day, don't worry or stress about it. Just get back on track the next day.

Maybe this can be the year your New Year's resolution doesn't include dropping those extra holiday pounds.


Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2012!!!

Your Guide to the Best Holiday Fitness Gift Ideas

With the holidays sneaking up on us, I have decided to spend the next couple of months highlighting potential fitness gifts for the “fitness enthusiast or wanna-be” in your family/circle of friends. Fitness gifts aren't for everyone, of course, but if there's an exerciser in your life, chances are there's something he or she wants to make workouts more efficient and more fun. If you need gift ideas for the fitness enthusiast in your life, below are some thoughts on what exercisers really want this year. From heart rate monitors to fancy towels, you'll find it here over the course of the next two months:
1. Heart Rate Monitor:
A heart rate monitor is an excellent tool for any exerciser who wants to get the most out of his or her workout. There are a variety of options out there, but you'll definitely want one that has a heart rate strap so your exerciser can see a continuous heart rate at a glance. If he's a gear head, he might want a fancy GPS model which can track pace, location, speed etc. If she's into fitness and counting calories, she might enjoy a lighter version, like the Polar F6.


2. Personal Training Sessions:
Keep in mind that not everyone would be thrilled to get personal training sessions. So you shouldn't get someone sessions just because you want them to exercise or be healthy. However, this can be a great gift if your loved one has expressed interest in training but is reluctant to spend the money or intimidated to try it. In fact, many of my clients give friends and family personal training sessions for birthdays and holidays. Each trainer will charge a different fee for sessions, but expect to pay around $50 to $100 per session. You might want to give one or two sessions and let them decide if they want more, or offer to train with them in group sessions.

3. Gym Membership:
Like other fitness gifts, a gym membership isn't for everyone. Giving someone a gym membership because you want them to workout may cause instant relationship problems (perhaps, even violence). However, if they've been talking about joining a gym, you're in the clear. Before you commit to anything, find out exactly what they're looking for - Location, amenities, classes, etc. Another option is to get them a coupon for free tours of gyms nearby and let them browse before you buy.

4. Hydryx Workout Towel:
OK, so giving someone a workout towel seems a little lame. But this towel is actually pretty cool...literally. Once you take it out of the included tube, it instantly cools to help keep your workouts more comfortable. It's great for the gym, which can get steamy with all that body heat, or for summertime workouts as well. What a great idea and a perfect choice for the exerciser who has everything.


Stay tune next month for more great fitness gifts...


Until next time…

COMMIT 2 BE FIT,
Josh Rogers
