Beaufort Personal Training: EarthFIT Holiday Workouts
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 1
“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here! And here is Holiday Workout #1. It’s going to be four exercises thus, many circuit is going to take about 3 minutes roughly. So I want you to do 3 – 5 sets of this. This workout should take less than 20 minutes total if you do all these exercises. You can do variations of these exercise so I am going to explain as we go through them. If you don’t have weights you can do all these exercises without weights, or you can grab something around the house that adds a little bit more of weight to this.
The first exercise that we will be doing is going to be squat to backwards lunge. I am using a kettlebell for this. We are going to start of lifting up, do a backwards lunge, lift it up again alternating legs, squat, backwards lunge, squat, you are going to do 10 reps on each side. So squatting, backwards lunge – 20 reps.
The next exercise is going to be what some people call a Dive Bomber Push Up. You’re going to get through a V position, feet wide, hips up in the air, you are going to come down and up and then repeat – reversing the movement. So coming down then pushing your body back up and repeat. Back down, and up. You are going to do 15 to 20 reps of the Dive Bomber push-ups.
Then you are going to do 20 jump squats, if your body is not ready for jumping you are just going to do 20 fast body weights squats. Jump squats are just going to be like this – you want to land nice and soft, just get up in the air. If you are familiar with plyometrics then you can go higher and jump higher in the air, make sure you are landing nice and soft, 20 reps of jump squats.
And then bicycle abs. You are going to do 20 nice and fast and then 20 nice and slow, One counts your elbow to knee so one, two, three… this would be fast and then 20 slow. Make sure you’re squeezing the abs and then repeat…
– Squat to backwards lunge (20 reps)
– Dive Bomber push-ups (15-20 reps)
– Jump squats (20 reps)
– Bicycle abs (20 fast, 20 slow)
So that’s Holiday Workout #1. Get to that and you’re going to have two more exercises or two more exercise regimens following up on this in the next couple of days.
Alright, I hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the workout.”
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 2
“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here at EarthFIT and here’s Holiday Workout #2. Again it’s 4 exercises. Each exercise should take about 45 seconds to a minute. So it’s a total of 16 to 20 minutes and it’s going to be 4 exercises that you do without weight, but I’m going to show you with weight.
The first one is going to be forward and backwards lunge so it’s going to incorporate legs and also stability; you’re going to have to balance. So I have one weight here, stepping forward and then backwards, and repeat. For a beginner, you can do stopping here (at start) and then back. So you are going to do 20 on each side going back and forth, switch sides and repeat. So back and forth… make sure you are pushing through the front heel when you go back and then go down bring the knee about an inch above the ground. That’s the first exercise.
The next one is going to be a Push up with a spin. You’re going to get into a push up position, push up and then spin around, and then back the other way. Push up – spin. So it’s coordination. Go slow and controlled if you need to. So you can go slow, once you are get it down you can go faster. And if you really feel frisky, you can do a full spin and then push up.
All right. The third exercise is going to be a Spin Jump. This is a little bit complicated and more advanced, so I am going to show another one that you can do if you can’t do this. Starting sideways get down into squat, then you are going to turn and jump. So that is the simple one. You can do more advanced: turn, jump, touch the ground, turn, jump, touch the ground. For those who can’t do that (the jumping with a spin), you are just going to do a lateral lunge. So you are doing 20 of this on each side; 20 of the jumps total.
And then the last one are going to be one of my favorite exercises that incorporate the full body is the Bear Crawl. Bear crawl is on all fours, getting low to the ground and crawling. You can use your speed, you can do it down a hallway, you can do it outside – you can do this whole work outside. You’re going to do the bear crawl for 30 seconds.
So again let’s recap. We have:
– Forward-backwards lunges (20 reps on each side)
– Spinning push ups (15 to 20 reps)
– The Jump squats with a spin (20 reps), and
– The bear crawl for (30 seconds)
So there you go Holiday Workout #2, make sure you do this and take action right now. Don’t watch it and say you are going to do it later, cause the day will get started and you missed out. So go ahead and start that, it takes about 16 to 20 minutes and enjoy the Holidays.”
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 3
“Hey! It’s Ian Hart here with Holiday Workout #3. Again it’s 4 exercises, but today we are going to be focusing on more stability than anything else. So I am going to show you 4 exercises, they’re going to be on one leg if you have any issue with dealing stability exercises then just do both legs – you can do the same exercises with both legs.
All right! So the first one incorporates if you have a dumbbell, you can also use a gallon of water or a gallon of milk, because the weight doesn’t really need to be that heavy because it is a stability exercise. You are going to have stand on one leg, lean over, back nice and straight, make sure your back is straight and then you are going to do One Arm Row, stabilizing on the leg, you can do 12 reps, 12 to 20 depending on how light the weight is. If it’s easy, do higher reps and then switch, and then repeat. Balance, stabilize, try to stay on there without falling over. If you need to you can use your foot in the back to tap down just to stabilize again.
The next exercise is going to be Push Up and this time you you are going to be shifting your body weight to one arm, you’re assisting with the other arm. So you are going to shift your weight over to this arm and then push up and then shift to the other side then back. If you’re not strong enough to do a full push up, you can just do a regular push up, or you can go to your knees and do the same thing, so pushing up and back. So 10 on each side, for a total of 20 reps.
Next exercise is going to be on one foot – One Foot Toe Touch. Keep you back nice and straight, alternating your arms, if you are not able to get to your toe, get down to this point – you can get a reference point like a cone (the top of the cone) and then you are going to touch the top of the cone. You want to do 12 reps on each leg, switching until it touches back nice and straight again, as I’ve mentioned.
And then last one everybody’s favorite, High Knees. So high knees, are meant to get your knees up; 30s you can go fast, speed, move your arm for both cardio, and then 30 seconds and repeat.
So again we have:
– One leg bent over rows (12 to 20 reps)
– Push ups shifting to one side (20 reps)
– Toe touches (12 reps, 12 to 15 on each leg depending), try to get the whole repetition without falling over if you need to, you can use that back foot
– High Knees (30 seconds)
Again, this is going to take roughly about 4 minutes per circuit, do 3 to 5 sets depending on how you feel and then let me know how you do. Go ahead and leave a comment below, and tell me what your time was, how many reps you banged out and how much weight you used. Again this is Holiday Workout #3 from EarthFIT. I hope you enjoyed it and take advantage of it. Do it now.”

Beaufort Health and Fitness: Reduce Back Pain Through Eating
Reduce Back Pain Through Eating
“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart. I’m a Back Pain Relief Expert and Co- Creator of Back Pain Relief4Life and today what I wanted to speak to you about is how to eat for reducing back pain. Back pain is not just the one prong thing, it comes from different sources. So how you eat, how you move, are you sitting all day? Did you have a previous position for back pain? There’s a myriad of things going on, so I want to speak to you how you can eat to reduce back pain.
There’s a few things that you should look out:
1. How much water are you taking in? You should be intaking a lot of water… your discs are filled with a lot of water, and the more water you get, the more water will get into the discs and lubricate them. Think of it this way: if you don’t have water in the body it’s like driving your car without oil. The more water you have/ the more oil you have in the body, the less friction there’s going to be between joints.
2. Are you eating a lot of gluten and are you gluten sensitive? Gluten has an affinity for collagen, which is the cartilage around the joints; and will attack that and cause the collagen to be reduced so less lubrication on the joints; that will cause back pain immediately. Almost everybody is affected by gluten in society. It depends on how much you are affected by it but almost everybody is affected by it.
3. Dairy. Are you having a dairy that has been processed. Pocessed dairy causes you numerous issues in the intestines and inflammation throughout the whole body.
So look into that, those few things can be changed right away.
4. How much fruit and vegetables are you getting? How many nutrients are you getting, enzymes are you getting into your body. More fruits and vegetables are going to increase enzyme, minerals, vitamins that are micronutrients. We need micronutrients and macro. Macro would be protein, carbs, fats. Micro – vitamins. A lot of people are just getting the protein and the carbs but not getting the minerals that they need.
5. Also when you’re eating, how do you speak to yourself when you’re eating? Do you watch TV? Are you on your phone? Are you distracted constantly or feeling the stress working and eating? Well guess what? Essentially, if you’re doing that, the food is going to putrify in your stomach. It’s not going to get assimilated properly, you’re not going to break it down, you’re not going to absorb the nutrients that you need, that your back needs to getting better, to recover itself. So I want you to literally talk to yourself.
You might have heard that your intestines or stomach is like your second brain. Your brain is constantly in contact with the stomach and they speak to each other. So if you speak to yourself, you’re going to see better result. Before you start eating, I want you to relax, take 10 deep breaths in, this is going to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. It’s going to cause relaxation and digestion to increase and that’s actually where you need to be when you eat; is in a parasympathetic nervous system. And that is going to allow you to get what you need. So I want you to talk to yourself and say “I am about to eat this protein, protein is harder to break down, I’m going to chew it more, I’m going to chew 30 times so then I’m going to swallow it and we’re going to break it down and we’re going to be relaxed while I’m eating. Then I’m going to take this fiber or salad whatever it is tight fiber. I’m going to chew it 20 times and I’m sending it down to my stomach.” So talk to yourself. You can also do this with fats, however you want.
So the important thing is that you are talking to yourself and you are conscious of what you are doing when you are eating. You shouldn’t think of anything else except the food that you are taking in and how you’re taking it in. So reduce stress while you’re eating, assimilate the food better, you’ll get more nutrients into your body and to your back. Therefore, reducing the overall stress in your body and helping repair the back through vital nutrients – again, I said water and then eliminating any of the additive, preservatives, gluten, dairy that will cause inflammation.
So that’s one part of it, the other part is going to be exercising and strengthening and correcting muscular imbalances and then there’s also another side to it which will get into another video but the exercise side, go ahead and click the link below, we’re creators of one of the world’s greatest programs Back Pain Relief4Life. Click the link below and see if its program that you think would work for you to help you eliminate your back pain. It’s tremendous, you can see all the testimonials of success stories.

Beaufort Weight Management: Staying Fit During the Holidays
Most people lose sight of their fitness and fat loss goals entirely this month, only to have a rude awakening when their clothes are snug come January.
It’s really no wonder most people gain weight during the holidays.
Want to sidestep those holiday pounds? We’re here to be your voice of reason and to make sure that you don’t forget your goal. Stay fit this holiday season with these 3 steps:
Step #1: Get Re-Focused
The focus in so many of our holiday traditions is on food. This holiday season try to re-focus your attention away from food and back on to what’s really important—friends, family, giving, and religious traditions. Stay focused on the reason for the season rather than the plate full of hors d’oeuvres in front of you.
It’s important that you don’t lose sight of your dieting goals. Remind yourself of all the progress that you’ve made. Keep your goals in the forefront of your mind. Be aware that the holidays can be a time of emotional eating. Sometimes stress, family conflict, or even depression can be triggered. If this happens to you, try to address the root of your problems with solutions other than food or drink.
Step #2: Use Strategy
It’s important to use strategy when approaching the many celebrations held this time of year. With night after night of parties and events, you’ll need to pace yourself in order to keep your diet on track.
The most obvious, and effective strategy is to not arrive at the party hungry. Instead, eat a small low-calorie snack ahead of time to prevent overeating. When it’s time for extreme measures, wear tight-fitting clothes around your waist so there’s not much room for expansion!
Another idea is to chew gum before and after a meal, so you won’t be tempted to overindulge in appetizers and desserts. During the party, don’t stand right next to the food table, instead keep a safe distance. And before you get a plate of food, choose your selections wisely. Use a small plate instead of a large dinner plate and don’t go back for seconds!
Another important strategy is figuring out how to get in the gym between parties. Finding room in your busy holiday schedule for Beaufort exercise will help you fight off the extra weight trying to attach itself to your midsection and rear.
Step #3: Moderation
We’re not suggesting that you deprive yourself of all the foods you love, as this will likely lead to a spurge that ruins all your good intentions. Be smart about what you choose to eat. Enjoy the goodness of the season, but in moderation. Trim calories where you can by limiting your trimmings-cheeses, gravy, sauces, creams, and nuts.
Some of your favorite indulgences may only come around this time of year. This may cause you to want to overindulge before it’s too late. Instead of stuffing yourself, survey what foods are available and make your choices. Indulge in your favorites and leave the everyday dishes for another time. Only eat what you love, and don’t just eat something because it’s on the buffet.
Also, be sure to limit the amount of alcoholic beverages you drink. While you may not know it, they’re filled with calories, too. Try alternating an alcoholic drink with a non-alcoholic drink.
Follow these simple tips, and you will avoid holiday weight gain this season and start 2014 off right!
Exercise is a huge part of the equation when it comes to achieving Beaufort weight loss and Beaufort weight management.
