Glastonbury Personal Trainer Talks About Kicking Up Your Workout With A Finisher!

Hey Guys!

Do you feel like your workouts are just not enough at the gym?

Well here's a quick tip and an awesome way to get that metabolism fired up and muscles burning!

Most people go to their local gym, do some curls, chest press and walk on the tread mill for 20 minutes and that's fine because something is better than nothing at all. 

Here's a question for you though! Do you have 4 minutes in your day or after your workout to take me up on a challenge?

Well if you do, I have one word for you....Tabatta!

What's a tabatta you ask, check out the video above and find out!

Glastonbury Personal Trainer Talks About Switching Up Your Bicep Routine

Hey Guys, 

The traditional arm curls have worked great in the past, but now what?

Body weight baby! 

I'm talking about the Suspension Training!

 With a simply step forward or step back you can really make a huge difference in your arm routine without really moving from around the gym to different exercise machines.

Now with that being said TRX or the Jungle Gym is not the only way to unconventionally work your arms, but for a beginner as well as someone who has been working out for a long time, this piece of equipment is awesome because of its versatility!

Check the video and send me your suggestions or tip on different ways to work those guns on our MELT Facebook page!

Glastonbury Personal Trainer Shares 4 Tips On Choosing the Best Sports Bra

I have had a ton of questions come at me about sports bras. What is the best kind? What do I need to look for? Where can I find a good one?  Luckily, I was the running bra expert at a local specialty running store in West Hartford, so the questions came to the right place! Here is what I believe are the most important aspects when trying to find the proper equipment to support the “girls”......

1.Measure Up!!

So many women are wearing something that is not true to their actual size. Don’t be shy, go and get a good measurement to find out your true band and cup size. Trust me, once you are in the proper size, getting a comfy and supportive sports bra will make your workouts that much better. Most people are unaware the band is actually where you get the support from, not the straps. You aren’t going to work out in shoes that are not comfortable, so why would you workout in a bra that is not?

2. Wire vs. No Wire

There are several companies that offer a variety of sports bras. If you are in a small A-B cup size, an over the head compression bra should be supportive enough. However, when you venture into the high B, C and D sizes, you may want to think about a sports bra that has molded cups and possibly clasps in the back.  My favorite of this type of running bra is made by a company called Moving Comfort. The Fiona, is a sports/running bra that clasps in the back, has velcro adjustable straps, and no underwire. It is super supportive and comfortable, with breathable synthetic fabric that wicks away moisture. Champion also makes some really good running/sports bras that are good for a variety of sizes.


3. If you are planning on working hard, avoided that natural fibers

Cotton, however soft and breathable, will absorb sweat, leaving you feeling extra hot and extra uncomfortable (can cause chaffing). Choose fabrics that do not contain cotton when buying any type of athletic gear (this includes socks too). The best synthetic fibers that are breathable and moisture wicking are polyester or spandex. You will see labels like “Duo Dry” or “Cool Max”, that signify their wick away technology.

4. Jump Around

The best way to test if a sports bra is going to be supportive enough for your activity is to test it out. Do some jacks, run in place, and hop around while in the dressing room. There should be little to no movement going on if you are being supported properly. If you are in a larger cup size, you may experience a small bit of movement, however, this movement should not continue well after you have stopped! Let’s face it, it neither looks nor feels comfortable when “the girls” are not staying in place. It is also harmful to the breast tissue, causing micro-tears if there is too much bounce.

Following these steps will help you find what kind of sports bra is going to work best for you. Remember, you have to test it out to see if it works. My suggestion is to check out stores like Fleet Feet Sports in West Hartford, or any Dicks sporting goods. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you want to make sure you are getting quality that will keep you and your “ladies” happy.

Do you REALLY know what your buying?

Hey M.E.L.T.er's,

Do you really know what your buying at the grocery store?

Oraganic or "Healthy" food more often than not arent really that healthy for you!

Before buying, look at the label and see what ingredients are actually in that so called health food. Most of the time these type of food are marketed very well to make you believe what you are buying is healthy for you when in reality it may not be the best choice. Just because something might have whole grain or organic on it does not mean the rest of the item isnt covered in sugar or other "not so healthy" ingredients.

So, here at M.E.L.T., we have a simple solution!

We are going to be offering a FREE grocery store tour in South Windsor on 7/10 at 7 pm at Stop & Shop, Glastonbury 7/12 at 7:30pm Stop &Shop and 7/16 Harwington right after BC.

The purpose is going to be how to shop smart. We are going to teach you how companys market themselves to come off as healthy. We are also going to show you how to read labels and show what to look for and what to not look for.

This is going to be very informational and if anyone is having trouble with their diet or just wants to learn the rights and wrongs of eating then please join us!

Hope to see you there!
