One of my favorite fitness sites, FitSugar spoke about yoga trainers who harmed more then healed their pupils thanks to their inexperience. The mess they got their patients into had me wincing in pain just reading about it!
It is absolutely terrible if the person you trust to help you lose weight is not up to the mark. If a personal trainer fails in some way or another just because he or she has not received enough training or doesn’t possess proper certification, then you have barked up the wrong tree.
There are ways to avoid this though and checking up on the certification and reputation is one of the best ways you can ensure yourself a healthy weight loss experience.
At Body Makeovers, we make personal trainer assessment processes mandatory for selected trainers so that our weight loss personal training clients are not harmed in any way.
Certain body makeover programs are extreme and demand a lot from the user. Unless the trainer is confident and certified to provide the exceptional guidance required for such clients, he or she cannot help the client in any way.
Along with the mandatory 2-4 year experience in personal training and a degree or certification from an accredited institution, Santa Monica body makeover requires trainers to undergo a rigorous training class. Only after they successfully complete an internship under a high-level personal trainer in Los Angeles at our facility, are they considered ready to help a California body makeover client.
You are in safe hands. Book an appointment with Body Makeovers today.

Hazards Of Having An Inexperienced Weight Loss Personal Trainer
Healthy Weight Loss Post-Menopause
Women, after they pass middle age, begin experiencing varying levels of stress- physical and emotional, exhaustion, hormonal upheavals, health problems, etc.
These signs simply signify that stage in a woman’s life known as menopause- turbulent for some and smooth for a very few. For those who experience an extreme level of change, gynecologists, physicians or dietitians prescribe various medicines, diets and fitness regimes to help cope.
Exercise helps a lot for women who are experiencing menopause but special care is required where healthy weight loss is concerned. The body should not be denied of its nutrition and neither should it be exerted more than necessary when a menopausal woman is carrying out a healthy weight loss diet or having weight loss personal training.
Towards this end, a research group helmed by Dr Alexandra Sänger of the University of Salzburg has discovered a new approach to healthy weight loss and exercise.
They configured two special weight loss training methods for menopausal women- hypertrophy resistance training and the SuperSlow® resistance training. While the first method is formulated to coerce muscle growth and improve it, the latter involves a slower set of exercises with fewer repetitions. This is believed to improve the quality of muscle contraction.
At Body Makeovers, we take studies like this into consideration as they help us provide clients who come to us for a body makeover in Los Angeles a more personalized experience. Women can even exploit the Mommy Makeover package for marvelous external improvement.

Body Makeovers – Naturally Healthy

While such studies can be easily dismissed as old news, this particular study is very noteworthy. Researchers conducting the study had obese and overweight adults participating. The focus was on a three-month period of regular exercise without much change in the diet.
Post-3 months, they realized that there was a significant drop in weight and waist sizes of the participants.
Further study proved that along with a rise in the protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the individuals were observed to experience a fall in blood pressure. This resulted in them consuming fewer calories each day by default.
A very effective and healthy weight loss method I must say!
At Body Makeovers we understand the importance of keeping a healthy weight loss diet and personal training simple. Towards this end we have the 6 Week Body Makeover programme which has been proven to deliver spectacular results.
You won’t have to stay away from your favorite foods, because at Body Makeovers we will provide you with a personal weight loss trainer.
Give Michael Thurmond Body Makeovers a chance to serve you and experience the results yourself.

Popping Veins When You Exercise? No Reason To Worry
Last month Madonna was photographed with her veins standing out very prominently. Angelina Jolie too gets photographed very often with her veins on display. While they don’t look ugly, they certainly signify something – they exercise and are fans of healthy weight loss.
It may sound like a hasty conclusion I’m drawing because after all, bulging veins could be genetic or they could simply be varicose veins. But the ladies in question are well known for their more than ardent fascination for rigorous and demanding exercise.
So when you are exercising what do you do to reduce the appearance of these veins? Can they be avoided from popping?
Well, Body Makeovers knows for a fact that there’s no need to worry. In order for these veins to pop out your body’s fat mass needs to be well below 15 percent. It would be good to add at this point that Angie and Madonna are not exactly known for their wholesome approach towards food. They are hardcore dieters.
But then what about those who have a higher fat mass but also seem to have prominent veins? Some sadly, have genetics to blame. Others have their bodies undergoing a strained process of filtration where muscles swell and toughen up so much that the subcutaneous veins are pressured towards the surface of the skin.
After that it all depends on the subcutaneous fat present in the skin to appropriately cloak the presence or minimize the appearance of popping veins.

Body Makeovers Concern - Is Robbie Williams Letting Himself Go?

But looking at recent pics of Williams, I wouldn’t fault her if she did the same now.
Thirty three year old Robbie has been looking terrible ever since he has taken time off from his singing career. Scruffy beard and shaggy hair top a torso that jiggles and looks like it has taken liberty with a lot of unhealthy food.
Body Makeovers believes he has given up exercising regularly and is not really paying any attention to healthy weight loss diets and workout routines that other singing sensations usually have to worry about. In the Daily Mail his friend commented, "He doesn't need to remain trim for any professional reason, so he's let himself go.”
From the size of his personal fortune £130 million, he has certainly made a mark for himself in the professional singing world. In a way, ten albums out in ten years warrants a break from it all.
But a little exercise and weight loss training wouldn’t hurt and would make a well-deserved vacation even more enjoyable. Body Makeovers is looking forward to the bad boy of British pop getting sexy back.

Will Smith – The Hollywood Heavyweight Body Makeovers Loves:
We all loved him as the funny (and hunky) sidekick to Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black and sighed over the alien-busting arms he flexed in Independence Day. I quite liked his intense portrayal of the boxing champion Muhammed Ali in the movie Ali as well.
And then he got the women falling for him all over again as the suave matchmaker in Hitch. He just got awarded the Best Male Performance award for his role in I Am Legend and Body Makeovers couldn’t be less ecstatic for the easygoing actor who has smoothly wriggled his way into millions of womanly hearts!
Will Smith has come of age (as an actor I mean) and over the years he has kept himself in marvelous shape. Of course his choice of movies is undoubtedly a major part of his healthy weight loss secret.
For instance, Ali had Will working out at least 6 hours a day in a 5 days week and relied heavily on a boxing routine and running. His personal trainer made him follow a weight loss training plan that brought his weight to 220 lbs. for the role of the boxing champion.
The actor admits that he finds it tougher to put on weight rather than losing it and that Ali took a lot of effort to prepare. For his latest I Am Legend though he did not have to worry much because of the stable metabolism his body maintained after movies like I Robot and Ali.
Want a workout plan that will give you a body like Will’s to flaunt? Visit the personal trainer in Los Angeles at Body Makeovers.

National Hamburger Month – Should You Get Into The Spirit?:

In a country that consumed at least 11.9 billion burgers in 2007 alone, it would come as no surprise that 85 percent of them consume burgers every month. But how many of these Americans are making a healthy diet decision when they chomp one all-American hamburger?
One of the major components of a hamburger is the beef in it, which if served ground and undercooked is known to cause a form of poisoning known as hamburger disease. Besides, red meat has also been linked to heart disease, not to mention the high amounts of potentially harmful cholesterol (38 mg) and fat (9 g) content found in the average burger.
Body Makeovers frequently hears stories from clients that were partial to hamburgers and as a result bloated up enormously. The healthy diet Los Angeles was thus formulated by our team of dietitians which took care of the healthy weight loss diet of such individuals.
The best part about our weight loss training plan however lies in the fact that the food we serve suits the individual tastes of our clients. We do not tell you to consume food that you may not like.
Why don’t you take an appointment with spa body makeovers and we’ll help you get over National Hamburger Month effortlessly!
Do You Send Your Kids To Fat Camp For A Healthy Weight Loss?:
If you have a son or a daughter who is obese, you might sympathize with Eric Cartman’s mom in the Season 4 episode of
But what actually does happen in fat camp? Do they have an exhausting weight loss training routine for young tots to lose weight? Or are they simply a commercialism trick for susceptible parents?
According to the director of the Children’s Exercise and Nutrition Center, “If you think the camp is going to solve the problem- the child will at long last lose weight and keep it that way- you can forget it.” But the many fat camps that have blossomed in the Western world and seem to proliferate during the summer months seem to prove this stand very wrong.
Body Makeovers feels that programs like fat camps and weight loss training regimes for kids could be a good way to get your child on the right track to staying healthy.
Consider our specialized Children’s Program. Ideal for children aged 14 years-old and above, the healthy weight loss diet and exercise routine successfully works on a diet Los Angeles and weight loss personal training plan that is chalked out by established dietitians.
At our California body makeovers facility, children are encouraged to embrace a healthier lifestyle and cultivate healthy eating habits even after the program is over.

Britney Spears – Revamped Mom, Exercise Junkie, Revamped Life:
I’m impressed. I’m very impressed. This must be the biggest turnaround of the century!
Britney Spears, style fiasco and rehab addict has made time in her trouble-besotted life for the gym and boy, is she glowing! Just about everybody remembers the (un) dazzling costume she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.
And then there are those infamous pictures of her either going braless or else wearing incandescent ones. A lot of people gave up hope on her based on all her antics.
The change began trickling in however, after she appeared in a spot on How I Met your Mother. I was amazed by the transformation because she looked so sweet and healthy, two words that couldn’t be associated with Britney Spears.
And now she is reclaiming her body through some healthy exercise and weight loss training at a gym in
It sure is warming to see so much good change in someone so prone to bad luck. A body makeover Los Angeles could be just the thing to propel the 26 year-old singer’s career back on track. Time to say, hit me baby one more time!
