Memphis Personal Trainers of Energy Fitness encourage you to Load Up on these Ten SuperFoods for Look Young & Weight Loss.
FYI..Superfoods are measured by 2 scores (a basic grading system for food nutrient and health benefits)
1) ANDI Score – Aggregated Nutrient Dense Index
2) ORAC Score – Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (a way to measure antioxidant capacity of food)
Let Super Foods be your medicine. You Can do it!
Just improve the flavor and your health with a little focus on superfoods and herbs you can add to your everyday diet:
1. Acai – Nature’s Energy Fruit
2. The Allium Family – load salads and sauteed foods with garlic, onions, leeks, scallions, shallots and chives
3. Barley – add to soups, terrific for extra fiber
4. Green Foods – Dark green veggies are the BEST an anti-aging properties – find ways to add wheat and barley grasses (blue-green algae) spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, kale and green leafy vegetables every day for visible results.
5. Buckwheat – hulled buckwheat kernels (groats) are pale tan to green, while the roasted buskwheat groats, known as kasha, are the new “IN” grains and only take a few minute of extra time to add to every day.
6. Beans & Lentils – for fiber and vitamins
7. Peppers – hot, sweet, green and red bell to fiery hot habanera peppers – EAT Raw for lazy and eat for fuel dieters
8. Nuts & Seeds – raw, unsalted, almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts, and choose nut butters (natural, low sodium) for a healthy snack. Also incorporate organic and unrefined nut oils in cooking and salad dressings.
9. Sprouts – look for onion, mung bean, broccoli and sprouts. Did you know that alfalfa, sunflower, clover and radish sprouts have as much as 4% protein.
10. Yogurt & Kefir – different types of yogurts and monitor the sugar levels. Greek Yogurt is rich and cremy and not as tart as some. These “fermented foods” are considered “probiotic” and promote healthy digestive system. Kefir is a fermented, probiotic milk drink. (Ladies – if you are trying to get rid of cellulite then you may want to avoid this superfood/dairy as it traps fat pockets) If you have allergy issues you should consider eliminating dairy from your diet.
Here are some super herbs to try: bay leaf, dill, lemon balm, mint, thyme, parsely, rosemary, sage, basil, ginger and tumeric (tumeric’s spicy sidekicks: black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, corriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek).

Great for adults and awesome for kids!
My 5 year old loves it. He was with his dad last year at the grocery store (he calls him Papi- sounds like poppy) and just as he was reaching for some sausage for a duck hunting breakfast he loudly said…..”Papi that’s the BAD FAT”.
Ok this is very poor video and video editing. I was hoping for a much more polished end result but I think you can get through it.
I’m nearing the end of my weight-loss journey and realize that I’m just getting started. I have changed many of my eating habits but still have so much to tweak.
Take a look at this video if you can stand it.

Our Personal Trainers in Memphis understand that for most people time and money are in short supply. We want to provide you with training that is fast and affordable but Safe!
Many of the clients that come to us are living with injuries and almost all of them are living with some type of pain.
During your initial assessment our personal trainers in Memphis will gather as much information about your injury as possible to determine what, how and IF we can help you with your fitness goals safely.
Shocked! You would be shocked to learn of the number of clients we see that come to us with injuries caused by….other “trainers”!
Unfortunately, weight training without the appropriate knowledge can cause more harm than good. Harm to joints and surrounding tissue will occur if there are muscle imbalances created by poor exercise choice and/or technique.
When your weight training routine includes these errors such as exercising with poor posture/incorrect form, strengthening over-used tight muscles, neglecting weak muscles, not stretching tight muscles, stretching muscles that are already lengthened- dysfunctional movement patterns will be reinforced or even created. The combination of short, tight muscles with long, weak muscles can cause joints to move incorrectly. This overtime can cause irreversible joint damage.
Personal Training works! But do your homework. You CAN find a great deal and a package that fits your budget but please use caution.
An athletic “trainer” with big muscles does NOT equal proper form or knowledge- check their certification(s) and research online. Its easy to see the amount of study involved.
Avoid weekend or week-long certifications. Unfortunately personal training is a very unregulated field so be careful.
Nothing is as important as your health!! Our personal trainers in Memphis are the best in town!

to not make excuses!!
Returned home from Dallas on Friday afternoon. I attended a sales meeting all week arriving on
a Sunday. Not only am I tired from traveling most of the first two months of this year but I cant
get into any rhythm.
Im still only down about 11 lbs. I do work out on the road with strength training and cardio
but the constant eating out along with the wine and occasional beer are preventing any further weight loss.
Thats about to change as Im almost finished with all lengthy out of town travel – just my normal
two one or two days on the road during the week.
Tonya and I will be enjoying a highly anticipated five day trip to Park City Utah in less than two weeks for some snow skiing, bobsledding, massages and just relaxing…without the kids!! We ARE so excited! And no I dont expect to lose weight on the trip!
So thats about it for now- not much to report other than to say that Ive maintained my original
weight loss and still feel like losing my goal of 20lbs by April 23rd is doable.

Simple food choices go a long way when it comes to your heart’s health. Focusing on fresh foods full of heart-healthy fats and antioxidants can decrease your risk of developing heart disease and cut your chances of a heart attack. These 10 foods will help keep your ticker in top shape.
Oatmeal
Start your day with a steaming bowl of oats, which are full of omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium. This fiber-rich superfood can lower levels of LDL (or bad) cholesterol and help keep arteries clear.
Opt for coarse or steel-cut oats over instant varieties — the coarse and steel-cut contain more fiber — and top your bowl off with a banana for another four grams of fiber.
Childhood obesity, underage drinking, smoking and failure to exercise are all concerns for parents these days. If you want your kids to adopt a healthier, wiser lifestyle, you are going to have to show them the light. Children often learn best by example. Lead and they will likely follow.
