Life Time Fitness : Thread List - Weight Loss

What was your workout today?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:20:16 GMT

Has anyone started this thread on the new board yet?

Hope not!

So, my workout today: NOTHING.

I had a questionable mole on my leg (um, ew?) removed on Monday and I'm not supposed to workout for 2 weeks! ARGH!

I don't want to cause a scar or pull the stitches out.

I did upper body the other day, since that's all I can do.

So, who wants to workout FOR me today?

Today i am taking a break to see how fast I can pull of my run on Thursday. Last record was 6.65 miles in 60 minutes.

Morning Exercisers: How Do You Do It?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:30:51 GMT

Here's a question for all morning exercisers: how do you motivate yourself to get out of bed in the morning and go work out?

I exercise first thing in the morning, before the work day begins, because I know if I don't I'll either A) feel too tired to do it later, B) want to make plans with friends, family, or just relax after work, or C) if I don't get my workout out of the way first thing, I fear the rest of the day may be too jampacked to fit it in.

Working out is really important to me because it keeps me healthy and sane! Breaking a sweat clears my head, brightens my mood, and, of course, helps me stay in shape. So it's a huge motivator for me to jump out of bed and hit the gym knowing that the morning hours may be the best, or the only, time of the day that I can exercise.

What about you? How do you motivate? What stirs you out of bed in the morning to head to the gym?

Anyone else seeing results towards a personal goal?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:06:30 GMT

I joined lifetime fitness a little under a month ago (10/09/09), and I'm seeing some awesome results!I decided to eat healthier and workout regularly with the hopes of losing lots of weight. 120 lbs to be exact. Since the 9th of October I have only missed 9 days, and the only time I veer from my healthy diet is during Vikings games . Weigh ins are on fridays for me and last friday i was down 23 LBS!!! thats almost 8 lbs a week! So there is my encouraging result so far. Anyone else?

SO FIT, YOU'LL FREAK...AGAIN!

dthorne@lifetimefitness.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:15:40 GMT

Wondering why no matter what you do, you can't seem to reach your goal? Not sure why you should care about your aerobic base, anaerobic threshold, and resting metabolic rate? What role does nutrition, cardio intensity, and lean muscle play in your health and fitness pursuit?

So Fit, You'll Freak is a FREE, comprehensive seminar that will answer those questions and more, putting you on the road to success. You'll learn how to burn more fat, break your plateau, and how to get toned. In addition, you'll learn the truth behind certain exercise myths, and you'll have the chance to ask the questions you really want the answers to. Whether training for an event, weight loss, or lifestyle change, this seminar is for people of ALL fitness levels. I've hosted this seminar for more than a year, having helped hundreds of people get on the road to achieving their goals, and at the end the most common comments I receive are "I didn't know any of that" and "I wish I would've learned this years ago."

So Fit, You'll Freak is Monday, October 26th, 7pm in the Education Center at the Rochester Hills Life Time Fitness.

A brief bio: My name is Logan Thorne, and I'm a personal trainer at the Rochester Hills Club. I grew up as a very overweight teen/adolescent. During the '70s, my mother successfully lost 200 lbs (without surgery). In order to follow in her footsteps, so to speak, I was destined to gain a lot of weight. So then I, too, had to lose it!

When I was 22 years old, I lost 160 lbs (also without surgery). Today I'm 45-years old. After spending 17 years in corporate america, I went back to school to acquire the education and tools needed to teach and motivate others on how to achieve their health and fitness goals. Through the use of metabolic principles and testing, biomechanical processes, nutrition education and exercise physiology, I teach and motivate my clients to achieve their goals in the healthiest, most effiicient ways possible. I hope you'll stop by and experience So Fit, You'll Freak. And who knows? You too might become so fit, you'll freak!

Burn Calories & Get a Cardio workout- Play Squash! Two Programs- One Great Price!

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:35:03 GMT

Hello Life Time Fitness members!

Mix up your workouts and try squash!

Squash is a great addition to your workout. Burn high calories, get a great cardio workout, exercise your brain and meet new friends!

Squash is so social, it won't even feel like a workout!

If you have never played before- try our beginner 101 classes!

If you have......join us for leagues and ladders!

The squash team is excited to announce its support for the US Squash "Play Squash" program!

To encourage play across the country and grow the squash community- the pro team is offering the following:

Starting November 1st- Join the league and get the ladder for free!

So what is the league verses the ladder......

Leagues-

Leagues are club specific and you enter your skill level and play for 6 weeks. It is hosted on the US Squash ranking online software so you can enter scores online, follow your league and email players! Courts are reserved for league night and prizes are awarded every 6 weeks. Games are scheduled for you, but don't worry if you can't make a night you can still reschedule. Leagues earn you club and national ranking points. Winners will get posted on the mylt.com website.

Fee: $32 for 6 weeks of play and includes the ladder fee!

Ladders-

The ladder allows players from all skill levels play by challenging each other to a match. You can challenge up to 5 spots above you and if you win you take their spot and everyone else drops down a spot. In some Life Time locations where clubs are closer to each other we will make this ladder a citywide ladder allowing players to challenge between clubs in order to play more players. The ladder also awards club and national ranking points. The ladder is flexable and you will reserve the courts and schedule your own matches.

The ladder will only be available for members that are playing in the league.

Are you a someone who plays in sanctioned events and US Squash nationals?

Then the league and ladder counts towards your rankings that seed you in a event!

Leagues start November 1st!

Deadline to enter is October 26th!

Sign up at the activity center today to reserve your spot!
