Home Personal Training Welcome to YM Fitness! But first let us explain why This Is Our Medicine. YM Fitness.

We provide in-person and online personal training, and online group fitness classes. We are experts at improving human performance by addressing compensations in flexibility and muscle activity. You might have noticed that a big portion of the commercials are advertising pharmaceuticals. The commercials portray how people of different ages are suffering from pain and discomfort. The advertised med

ication is introduced, and you see these people transform into pain-free, happy individuals, able to move freely and enjoy life again. You have probably experienced some of this discomfort yourself, maybe even tried medications similar to the commercials. But let’s be honest, the pill might treat the symptoms, but will it cure the underlying issues? At Your Medicine Fitness, if you didn’t guess yet, we believe that we have the medicine to stay fit and healthy at any age. Fitness in combination with a healthy lifestyle can prevent the occurrence of disease. We believe rather than seek a cure for the symptoms, try addressing the foundational musculoskeletal dysfunctions of your body and maintain a consistent fitness and healthy lifestyle. Science has proven over and over again the negative effects of sitting and other stresses on the body as well as the positive effects of regular exercise on improving overall health. We deliver the medicine of fitness transforming clients into pain-free, happy individuals able to move freely and enjoy life without physical limitations. Even healthy athletes trying to optimize performance experience setbacks due to injuries associated with the demands of their sport or training regimens. Again we have the medicine to train harder minimizing risk and increasing strength and mobility quickly. This Is Your Medicine.

We all might know or have heard, that exercising outdoors is good for us – but why exactly is that?

1. It´s not only good for your physical health: Exercising outdoors boosts your mental health by giving you direct contact with sunlight, which raises your levels of serotonin (aka your body´s mood stabilizer).
2. It´s a huge stress reliever: As proven by a Japanese study, spending time in nature can help to reduce your cortisol levels.
3. You get to breathe fresh air. And not only this: Regular exercise paired with fresh air contribute to better sleep!
4. It challenges your body with changing surroundings and surfaces, thus it has to adapt to the changes and work harder.

So put on your running shoes and a smile, and see for yourself!

Here Is A Healthy Power Breakfast Idea To Give You Maximum Energy For The Day!

This breakfast idea includes foods that will boost your mood and energy for a healthy start: Berry Oatmeal with Greek Yoghurt. But why?

1. First of all, oats are a great source of carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. They are full of essential vitamins like iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamin B1, and many more.
2. Don´t forget to add berries: High in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, especially blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are an excellent choice!
3. Spice your oats up with some seeds: Chia seeds or ground flaxseeds contain a lot of fiber and contribute to better digestion, lower blood sugar, and a longer feeling of satiety.
4. You need some more iron, calcium, and vitamin E? No problem - add some almond butter.
5. Greek yogurt to round it all up: Probiotics contribute to gut health and good digestion and can be found largely in greek yogurt.

Enjoy your breakfast loaded with all the nutrients you need for an energetic start!

How Does Exercise Affect Our Heart Rate?

Exercise benefits the condition of our hearts and contributes to a decreased resting heart rate. People who exercise regularly have lower blood pressure and tend to have a lower risk of heart disease such as a decreased cardiovascular mortality.

During the exercise process, our muscles help to circulate the blood through the body and simultaneously take off some effort from the heart. Thus, the heart becomes stronger with time.

Other significant cardiovascular benefits of exercise is the ability of deeper breathing, an increased blood flow and blood volume returning to our heart and the production of new blood vessels.

What Can We Learn From Joseph Pilates??

Joseph Pilates, the founder of the Pilates-Method has not always been that extremely fit guru he was known for. Born as a fragile baby, Pilates suffered from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever.

But this didn´t stop him from strengthening his body and inspiring millions of people to work on their physique as well.
His passion for movement gave him great body-consciousness and made him develop the world-famous method!

Painfully beneficial and not causing aches and pain – that´s how a workout should be!

The general idea of strength exercises is to add stress to the muscles. The repetitions are to create a certain amount of time the muscle spends under tension. As we do an exercise, each rep builds increasingly more tension until ultimately we fatigue for that set. Most of us move to avoid the tension to slow our heart rate down or get an extra rep. However, avoiding this tension instead of accumulating it will lead to faulty, inefficient movements. This avoidance could be a reason for plateaus and limited results.

My philosophy is to move our bodies with stability, mobility, and conscious awareness. Improving control and performance of your body by learning joint movement skills will enhance our ability to exercise with proper technique and efficacy.

Don't hesistate to comment with any questions, I am here to help.

"Exercising With Medical Conditions - Is That Safe For Me?"
Unless it is prescribed by a doctor, people with medical conditions and aching body parts tend to avoid exercise, either because of the pain or the fear to make the pain worse through the wrong movement. But if your medical consultant gives you the green light, you should definitely take the chance!

Exercise with special caution to the affected area and performed with an experienced trainer on your side will improve your physical condition. It does even have the potential to improve your medical condition.

If you have questions about exercise with physical complaints and how to keep yourself fit and healthy regardless, feel free to contact me!

Why Is The Longest Muscle In Your Body So Tricky?

In our Moday post we discussed your body´s longest muscle: the sartorius muscle. In this video, you´ll find out why this muscle is so tricky, learn helpful tips and get a very fun exercise in the end.

Home Workouts do have their advantages if done effectively. This is why we´ve put together 5 tips to make the best of your next home workout:

1. Put on your gym gear if thats the plan, avoid wearing pajamas. Gym apparel companies are dedicated to making quality products specifically designed for working out. Investing in your gym clothes will always pay off and motivate you to put on some cool threads.

2. Add variety by trying exercises that focus on range of motion and strengthening of joints.
3. Try varying the time per exercise and resistance. Example Monday: 20 reps lighter resistance, Wed. 10-12 Reps heavier resistance, Friday 4-6 Reps with heaviest resistance or power movements (jump squats vs. squats).

4. Use a mirror or video system to watch your movements. Sometimes we do not accuratly percieve our own movements.

5. If you are having trouble kickstarting your workouts, try starting your workout in the morning: A morning workout will give you an energetic and motivated start to the day. Exercise stimulates energy and gets your body in sync with your natural hormonal activity. This way, you´ll eliminate the risk of postponing your workout.

One bonus tip: Do not hesitate to ask me questions regarding your fitness.

What Is The Longest Muscle In Your Body?

Let me introduce you to the sartorius muscle: the longest muscle in your body. Starting at the anterior superior iliac spine, the muscle runs down your thigh until the medial surface of the tibia behind your knee. The sartorius flexes, abducts and laterally rotates the thigh. Additionaly, the muscle flexes and internally rotates the leg.

Beware of an overly tight sartorius: this could result in disconfort at the front of the pelvis. A lifestyle mostly consisting of sitting might be the cause for this dysfunction. Learn how to relax and strenghten your body´s longest muscle on Fitness Tip Friday!
