Five Ways to Get in Shape For The Summer
Five Ways to Get In Shape For The Summer
By Dr. John P. DeMann
Mason, Ohio 3/30/2008 – The first days of spring means the sun is coming out and it’s time to reveal those abdominal muscles, shoulders, and arms.
For some it’s a good thing, and for others there is some room for improvement. We asked the experts at the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) to tell us the 5 most powerful ways to get in shape, and stay in shape, for the upcoming summer months.
If you haven’t heard of the ISSA, they are the organization that literally teaches the nation’s top personal trainers how to get their clients into shape. Below is what the Technical support staff of the trainers to the personal trainers told us on how to get ready for the coming summer months:
1. Exercise every day – Old research said you must exercise 30 minutes a day, but the latest experts suggest this just isn’t enough. What do you need to get in the best shape of your life? 60 minutes of vigorous exercise, daily.
2. Eat 5-7 small meals per day – Yes, you heard that right! Small frequent meals throughout the day not only levels out your blood sugar, decreasing the lows you may experience throughout the day, but eating sensibly, and often, will provide your muscles and body with the appropriate nutrition you need to get you through your entire day.
3. Reduce your calories by 300 per day (if over daily amount) – There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. So if you cut your calories by 300 per day, times 30 days in a month, that is a 9000 calorie deficit -- approximately 2 ½ half pounds. Combine this with exercise and you are virtually guaranteed to win the fight against the fat covering up your sexy abdominal section.
4. Consult a personal trainer – Let’s face it; personal trainers know their stuff. They train, study, and devote themselves to being a better health and fitness expert every day. They work out every day, eat smart, and are right in the middle of several teams of experts. If you just booked one session to ensure you are on the right track, your body will thank you for it. Not to mention your significant other.
5. Lift weights with little to no rest between sets – Here’s the fun part. The goal here is to increase your heart rate, get vigorous exercise, and above all else, stay moving! And lifting weights is one of the best ways to do it. Not only does properly lifting weights strengthen your musculoskeletal system and help keep your bones together, but a strength training program is key in developing a sexy, strong, physically attractive body. And by not resting in between sets, you will keep your heart rate up, telling your body to burn that body fat!

Why Water?
Why Water? By Dr. John P. DeMann, CPEC/ICF/ISSA
It's our body's vital fuel, a health drink from Mother Nature. It's calorie-free, inexpensive, and easily obtained. Yet few people follow the old fashioned advice to drink eight glasses of water a day.
Water is the most abundant substance in your body:
• All of your cells are soaked in water.
• Water makes up 55% to 75% of your total body weight.
• The food you eat contains about 70% water.
• A 10% reduction of water in your body can make you sick.
• A 20% loss of water can mean death.
Although you can survive for weeks without food, you can survive only a few days without water.
Water is involved in every bodily function known to man:
• Your vital fluid blood is comprised of ninety percent water, so that a reduction in water means more concentrated blood, making your body more susceptible to clotting and less efficient at delivering oxygen to your brain and muscles.
• Everything from temperature regulation to digestion to energy production is controlled by water.
• Water helps you recover from your workouts.
• Water aids in fat-based fueling of muscles.
• Water provides for storage of water inside your cells.
When you become dehydrated, all of these functions become less effective and your performance levels lower.
It is recommended that you drink eight to twelve glasses of water per day. Drinking water can:
• help us exercise longer and more efficiently
• Ward off constipation and maybe even crankiness
• help us lose weight and keep it off (water is a natural appetite suppressant)
If you are dieting, make sure to drink plenty of water so your liver can effectively metabolize body fat.
Drinking fluids, particularly water, during exercise reduces cardiovascular stress and improves performance. After a strenuous workout, you have to replace the fluids you have lost or you will suffer chronic dehydration. Dehydration is the loss of water from the body and a depletion of electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium). It is treated by replacing the water the body is lacking and by restoring electrolyte levels to normal. Dehydration may be caused by inadequate water intake or by excessive water loss, but the most common cause of dehydration is a simple failure to drink liquids. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Drink water before, during, and after exercising, and remember that water reduces body temperature and makes the whole exercise process safer.
Active people need more water than inactive people do. A reduction in as little as four to five percent body water can result in a drop in physical performance as great as twenty to thirty percent. It is recommended that you consume plenty of water:
• On a daily basis
• twenty minutes before any athletic event
• following high carbohydrate meals
Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. By the time your body reaches that point, you are already deficient in this vital fluid. When you consider that our muscles are made up of nearly 70% to 80% water, it is easy to see why fluid replacement is so important. Dehydration upsets the natural balance of fluids in the body and can lead to serious problems, including difficulties associated with heart function and temperature-regulation.
The average person loses approximately 2.5% of total body water per day. When you participate in any activity that causes you to sweat, it depletes your body fluid levels and increases your risk of dehydration. In addition to the recommended daily water intake, it is recommended that you drink 16 ounces of water for every pound of weight lost during exercise. Since it takes your body 15 to 20 minutes to absorb 16 ounces of water, you should consume the needed amount in fifteen-minute intervals, rather than all at once.
The importance of water is unquestionable, especially for anyone who is physically active. As the major “ingredient” of the human body, plenty of water is essential to healthy and qualitative athletic performance.

Sensible Diet Tips
Sensible Diet Tips
Start your diet with a food diary—record everything you eat, what you were doing at the time, and how you felt. That tells you about yourself, your temptation, and the emotional states that encourage you to snack and it may help you lose once you see how much you eat.
Instead of eating the forbidden piece of candy, brush your teeth. If you're about to cheat, allow yourself a treat, then eat only half a bite and throw the other half away. When hunger hits, wait 10 minutes before eating and see if it passes. Set attainable goals. Don't say, "I want to lose 50 pounds." Say, "I want to lose 5 pounds a month." Get enough sleep but not too much. Try to avoid sugar. Highly sweetened foods tend to make you crave more.
Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. Water itself helps cut down on water retention because it acts as a diuretic. Taken before meals, it dulls the appetite by giving you that "full feeling."
Diet with a buddy, a support group and or caring special friend can help one another succeed. Start your own group, even with just one other person.
Substitute activity for eating. When the cravings hit, go to the "Y" or health club if possible, or dust, or walk around the block. This is especially helpful if you eat out of anger.
If the pie on the counter is just too great a temptation and you don't want to throw it away, freeze it. If you are a late-night eater, have a carbohydrate, such as a slice of bread or a cracker, before bedtime to cut down on cravings. Keep an orange slice or a glass of water by your bed to quiet the hunger pangs that wake you up.
If you use food as a reward, establish a new reward system. Buy yourself a non-edible reward. Write down everything you eat—everything, including what you taste when you cook. If you monitor what you eat, you can't go off your diet.
Weigh yourself once a week at the same time. Your weight fluctuates constantly and you can weigh more at night than you did in the morning, a downer if you stuck to your diet all day.
Make dining an event. East from your own special plate, on your own special placemat, and borrow the Japanese art of food arranging to make your meal, no matter how meager, look lovely. This is a trick that helps chronic over-eaters and bingers pay attention to their food instead of consuming it unconsciously.
Don't shop when you are hungry. You will only buy more fattening food. Avoid finger foods that are easy to eat in large amounts. Avoid consuming large quantities of fattening liquids, including alcoholic beverages, which are so easy to overdo. Keep plenty of crunchy foods like raw vegetables and air-popped fat-free popcorn on hand. They are high in fiber, satisfying and filling. Leave something on your plate, even if you are a charter member of the Clean Your Plate Club. It's a good sign that you can stop eating when you want to, not just when your plate is empty.
Lose weight for yourself, not to please your husband, your parents or your friends. Make the kitchen off-limits at any time other than mealtime. Always eat at the table, never in front of the TV set or with the radio on. Concentrate on eating every mouthful slowly and savoring each morsel. Chew everything from 10 to 20 times and count! Never skip meals.

Local MDs Now Have Option For Fitness and Life Improvement
Local MDs Now Have Option for Fitness
Mason Ohio 10-25-2007: By Dana E. Reasons, The Star Report -- Over the past few years, more physicians have been writing prescriptions for exercise as a way to reduce health risks stemming from obesity or to treat certain medical conditions. Some have been referring patients to personal trainers as a way to help them establish sound exercise routines and encourage compliance.
Personal trainers can provide exercise prescription details that are often not taught in medical schools. They assess body fat, strength, flexibility, and balance before designing a thorough and specific workout program that usually includes a combination of cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility exercises. Due to their flexible hours and settings, personal trainers are also often a good option for patients who find it difficult to get to physical therapy locations.
Dr. John P. DeMann, certified fitness professional and certified personal and executive coach specializes in helping clients to decrease body fat percentage while increasing lean muscle tissue. He also believes in helping clients create an image of power and vitality along with their work that he feels will be the main reason people will be recognized for promotion. He uses a weight-training regimen combined with cardiovascular exercise, sensible nutrition and a flexibility program. He also uses a personal and professional coaching program that promotes the clients personal and professional development so they can realize their dreams. Research shows that those in shape and whose life is in order are more likely to get promotions. Many may not like this statement, but like anything else in life it may not be fair, but it is true!"
This country is plagued with an epidemic of high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, obesity and other lifestyle diseases,” reports Dr. John P. DeMann, owner of Pillars of Excellence located in Mason Ohio. With nearly 1 in 4 people affected, it is very common for Medical doctors to tell their patients to lose weight and get into better physical shape. Now, when the doctor tells the patient they need to be better about their fitness levels, I step in to show them how. I also show them that behavior modification is a key factor as well. The truth is that life is a challenge and those who can make the best of what they do are going to be the ones who create the tomorrows and make the world what it is. I assure you that I am going to help as many people make the best of their life so I can at least be a part of making the world something better each and every day.”
Increasingly more doctors are using the services of qualified personal trainers and personal and professional coaches to assist them in helping their clients achieve not only an optimal weight and body mass index, but also a life they have always dreamed of. The truth is that when people are happy they live longer more fulfilling lives.

Exercise Melts Body Fat
The Pillars of Excellence:
Exercise Melts Body Fat
If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the amount of exercise you get rather than decreasing your food intake. Of course a balanced approach always works best, but a national study was recently conducted using two groups of sedentary men, one group in their 20's and the other over age 65. A great deal was learned from this accumulated data, and it is interesting to note that there was a significant relationship between lack of physical activity and fat. Not surprisingly, the most sedentary men had the most body fat.
Studies such as this have also indicated that the government’s current recommended daily allowance for calories does not correlate with the body's actual energy needs. For example, although an intake of 2400 calories has been calculated for older men, studies showed that they actually burned an average of 2800 calories daily.
The leading experts now recommend that people who want to lose weight do so by increasing their physical activity. Just being more active in general (such as climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator, moving around instead of sitting still, sitting up instead of lying down, and even showing some excitement and enthusiasm instead of boredom) effectively burns calories and reduces body fat. Everyone seems to have lost sight of the value of being active. Consider this: a half-hour aerobic workout accounts for far less energy expenditure than our minute-to-minute movement in the office or at home.
Millions of Americans and people around the world are trying to lose weight, spending approximately $30 billion a year in America on diet programs and products, and often they do lose some weight. But, if you check with those same people five years later, you will find that nearly all have regained whatever weight they lost. A national panel recently sought data to determine if any commercial diet program could prove long-term success. Not a single program could do so.
Being seriously overweight or obese predisposes individuals to a number of diseases and serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, and osteoarthritis. It is now a known fact that when caloric intake is excessive, some of the excess frequently is saturated fat. However, people who diet without exercising often accumulate fat with time. Although your weight may initially drop while dieting, such weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time, increase your metabolism by exercising regularly.
Walking is one of the best exercises for strengthening bones, controlling weight, toning the leg muscles, maintaining good posture, and improving a positive self-concept. To lose weight, it is more important to walk for time than speed. Walking at a moderate pace yields longer workouts with less soreness—leading to more miles and more fat worked off on a regular basis. High intensity walks on alternate days help condition one's system. In a walking, weight-loss program, you are not required to walk an hour every day as some people would have you believe.
Ultimately, when it comes to good health and weight loss, exercise and diet are inter-related. Exercising without maintaining a balanced diet is no more beneficial than dieting while remaining inactive.
Dr. John P. DeMann, ISSA Certified Trainer and Certified Personal and Executive Coach, can be reached at the Pillars of Excellence in Mason Ohio where he conducts one on one personal training and group fitness camps. Dr. DeMann uses a unique training approach that not only uses the typical physical regime, but also uses a special behavioral approach that has been shown to be 476% more effective than the traditional approach. Most weight loss and health issues arise from behavioral problems along with the lack of proper exercise programs and inappropriate diet programs. Because Dr. DeMann believes in a holistic approach he has his clients also work on life goals not only in fitness and health, but also in general and professional life issues.
Testimonial: Dr. DeMann has changed my life forever! I cannot tell you how many times I tried to change my weight and get into shape and in the end finding out that the program I was using either was unhealthy or only causing water and muscle weight loss, not fat loss. With Dr. DeMann I have been able to take off 39% Body Fat, lower my blood pressure from 186/98 to 110/65 and maintain this health for over 5 years now. My life has changed dramatically and every time I think of this I start to cry because I now know that I am a person who is worth something.
Dr. DeMann uses an approach that is holistic in nature. He does not just focus on the health and fitness part, he also uses a program that uses a behavioral approach where he has a Ph.D. and is Certified as a coach in personal and professional development!
Here is the great part, due to my weight problems I also had a lot of self confidence issues, so I never really gave my life the meaning it really deserved. When I started the program I never really cared about my personal or professional life, but today I have a personal life that I never thought I could ever have had and something even more unbelievable, I now have a Masters Degree in Management and going on to attain a Ph.D. where I too can help people who were in the same situation I was in. Dr. DeMann has given me more than just a new lifestyle, he has given me my life back!!!!
Dr. DeMann was so generous with his time as well. Anytime I needed help he was always there and he never complained. He did not even bill me on unscheduled calls. In fact, I am not certain he even billed me on all my calls. I think he would bill me only when I was not following through and when I did well he let the bill go I think to reward me for my accomplishments! I will admit I still paid him, but that really touched my heart.
During the program I had a situation where my son got very ill and it got to a point where I could not afford to pay him due to the medical expenses. I told him I would have to stop coming due to the situation, he said if I did not show up he would come over and drag me out of the house to do the work scheduled! He told me that if he stopped treating me and helping me due to lack of funds it would be very unprofessional on his part.
There are so many people out there saying they want to help others with their problems and believe me I ran into my share of them. All I can say is this: never did Dr. DeMann indicate that he was only in it for the money. He was always honest, even though it hurt at times, which I think was one of the main reasons his program worked so well. But I must say again, Dr. DeMann has created a program that works the whole you, not just the physical part. I always thought dieting and exercise were the only aspects to getting into shape, but boy was I wrong!
To get into shape requires an approach that works on your physical, spiritual and mental aspects of the person. It also requires a great deal of love and understanding and let me say this, Dr. DeMann provided me all of these aspects! Sorry for the long testimonial, but Dr. DeMann deserves it. If you are looking to change your personal, professional or any part of your life, invest in Dr. DeMann, you will not regret it!
Love and Regards to all, but to you, Dr. DeMann, thank you for making my life the life I have always dreamed of!

Guidelines For Losing Body Fat!
Article #9: Guidelines for losing body fat
Dr. John P. DeMann, ISSA Personal Trainer and CPEC
At The Pillars of Excellence we are asked at least five times a day, “How do I lose the excess body fat around my middle?”
Based on working with over 10,000 clients I am going to provide the techniques that have been the most successful in helping them to lose fat safely and in the quickest amount of time.
You can't lose fat quickly and efficiently unless you take in fewer calories than you would need to stay the same weight. Neither can you gain musculoskeletal strengthening muscle quickly and efficiently unless you take in more calories than you would need to stay the same weight.
When you gain muscle, you burn more calories while you literally are doing nothing. This causes an increase in your basal metabolic rate – in other words, big muscles burn more fat and calories than little muscles.
Learn to change your thought process about food. During the holidays, it's very easy to eat an enormous dinner and then go to sleep. Bad habit!
When you sit down to eat, ask yourself:
"What am I doing for the next two to three hours?"
If you plan on taking a nap, eat less calories and carbohydrates. If you plan on going to the gym, eat more calories and more carbohydrates. And so forth. Your carbohydrates and calories need to be adjusted depending upon your anticipated activity levels. This way you are burning the calories that normally would be stored as fat.
The latest rage in the media is to entirely cut out carbohydrates. Bad idea! Our bodies perform best when we eat a diet rich in high quality carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are your body's preferred fuel source. Low glycemic carbohydrates, such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and grains are preferred for sustained energy sources.
Simple carbohydrates, such as a candy bar, peak the blood sugar, resulting in a huge drop in energy. Stay away from these types of carbohydrates as they will leave you feeling weak and out of energy. This will make it difficult for you to reach your training goals.
If you want to lose fat, or excess body weight, establish a ratio of about 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat. Depending upon the training and protocol, you may want to add more carbohydrates for energy, and more protein for muscle growth. And remember, to lose weight, simply ingest fewer calories than you would need to stay the same weight. It really is that simple.

At The Pillars of Excellence we are asked at least five times a day, “How do I lose the excess body fat around my middle?”
Based on working with over 10,000 clients I am going to provide the techniques that have been the most successful in helping them to lose fat safely and in the quickest amount of time.
You can't lose fat quickly and efficiently unless you take in fewer calories than you would need to stay the same weight. Neither can you gain musculoskeletal strengthening muscle quickly and efficiently unless you take in more calories than you would need to stay the same weight.
When you gain muscle, you burn more calories while you literally are doing nothing. This causes an increase in your basal metabolic rate – in other words, big muscles burn more fat and calories than little muscles.
Learn to change your thought process about food. During the holidays, it's very easy to eat an enormous dinner and then go to sleep. Bad habit!
When you sit down to eat, ask yourself:
