Ear infections increase the risk of obesity

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

ear infections increase risk of obesity and fat

Researchers at Florida surveyed 1,300 people and discovered that people who have history of ear infections had a 100% greater chance of developing obesity than those who didn’t.

The research suggests that ear infections damage a taste nerve that passes through the middle ear and damage to this nerve makes food taste creamier. I copied an article below that I think is pretty interesting.

I’m interested to hear your experience with ear infections and problems with obesity leave a comment below.

Copied from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/08/080814154321.htm
Ear infections are a painful rite of passage for many children. New research suggests the damage caused by chronic ear infections could be linked to people’s preference for fatty foods, which increases their risk of being overweight as they age. Scientists from around the country presented their findings on this unexpected connection at the American Psychological Association’s 116th Annual Convention August 21.

Is Your Body Ready For Summertime, Columbus?!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Winter is over. Spring is almost over. Bathing suit season will soon be upon us. Have you lost that holiday weight yet? Have you put on a little extra in the first five months of 2009?
Summer time, Columbus, time for bathing suits

Well if so don’t you think it’s about time to change? Are you ready to slip into that bikini this summer? Or take that shirt off at the pool without being embarrassed?
Summertime is the time lose weight for Columbus residents

A good fitness routine will help you drop 4-8 pounds of unsightly body fat. But the most important aspect when it comes to losing body fat is intensity. It’s actually the most important factor weather or not your fitness program will be successful.

Now when it comes to intensity, nothing beats fitness bootcamps. Don’t expect to come into a class full of ‘easy’. ‘Easy’ is running on a treadmill for 30 minutes strait.

Bootcamp is 45 minutes of high-intensity intervals, weight training, abs, glutes, and thighs circuits. Everyday is different. It keeps the body guessing. Soreness is common. You get stronger faster and have fun. Again– you have fun while exercising.
Med Ball exercises intense

But where do you find such a place in Columbus?

The premier bootcamp in Columbus is Yun Fitness Boot Camps (yunbootcamps.com), based out of Hilliard, OH.

The class is taught inside a Martial Arts Studio for the morning camps and outside for the evening classes. Classes include various types of people from all different walks of life. From age 14 up to early 60′s. Men, women, children, students. Two people even drive down every morning from Springfield for the camp. Yes, it’s that good.

The camp is taught by Jason Yun, who is also the owner of the company. He is a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist. He adds even more to classes by providing his students nutrition handouts every week, and also has a 12-week nutrition course that has helped his students results skyrocket.

What makes people try this bootcamp workout? Like the various people in the class, the reasons are also different. Some have tried the Jenny Craig’s, Weight Watchers, Atkins, and every other diet under the sun and not seen results. Others can’t work out on their own, and need some motivation and accountability. Some can’t stand the gym and the same old boring routine. For others the gym is too intimidating for them.

The first impression you get from Yun’s bootcamp is a good one. For starters your first 2-weeks are free. Next each class starts off with a dynamic warmup– body weight movements to get the blood flowing to the major muscles and joints of the body. Hips, shoulders, knees, and low back need to be warmed for the pre-planned intervals to come. After about 6-12 minutes of intervals we move into the main workout of the day. Which will vary everyday but will include at least 6 different stations and/or exercise of varying difficulty. But all exercises are easily modified for beginners.

The program is guaranteed or your money back.

The next class starts May 26th. Spots will be limited for new campers and it is a first-come, first-served basis. So register online on soon as you can.

Columbus Bootcamp Instructor Warns of Hydroxycut Ban

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

hydroxycut banned for liver problems
Hydroxycut is a fat burning supplement that got super popular back in the 1990’s. It sold 9 million units last year. But it is now under fire and the FDA is warning people to stay away from it. It’s been linked to many cases of liver disease and at least one death.

The company that produces Hydroxycut, Muscletech, has agreed to recall 14 of their products in the Hydroxycut line. The products are marketed to people wanted to burn excess body fat, lose weight, energy boosters, and meal suppression. The 14 products being recalled are:

Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets
Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets
Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
Hydroxycut 24
Hydroxycut Carb Control
Hydroxycut Natural

The FDA received 23 reports of liver problems and the death of a 19-year-old male started to raise suspicion regarding the supplement.

Jason Yun, a certified fitness bootcamp instructor and sports nutritionist, says that ‘products like these are unnatural, and shouldn’t be consumed at all.’

‘The products caused death in several cases when ephedra was used in it,’ Yun continues, ‘When Hydroxycut was banned from using ephedra they had to use something else to try and make it as effective or face going out of business. So just like before, it’s a bunch of stuff chemically combined that we really don’t know how it will affect the human body in the short term and long term. Obviously it is starting to come out with these problems.’

Yun recommends people go a natural route for fat loss and weight loss by combining solid nutritional practices with weight training and interval exercise.

‘Those two methods of exercise are the absolute best for fat loss. And the one’s I use most often in my bootcamp classes. Stay away from hyped products that promise miraculous results. The only supplements you will ever need are a whole foods multi-vitamin, fish oil, meal replacement, recovery drink, and a whey protein supplement. All the other stuff is pretty much just flushing your hard-earned money down the drain,’ Yun proclaims.

Yun Fitness Bootcamp Logo
The third phase of 2009 is about to get under way for Yun Fitness Bootcamps. 3 new class times are being added. A 9 am and 2 Express camps at 12:00 and 12:30. The new camps will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Jason Yun, the owner and head instructor, expects says ‘that camp spots are filling up rather quickly’.

Yun’s bootcamp has been around since July holding camps in Dublin and Hilliard. And is a quick 45-minute workout held 3 times a week. Participants, or as Yun calls them ‘Camp Superstars’, think the time just flies by. The mixture of fun games, activities combined with interval and weight training makes the time fly by.

‘The only people that seem to wish it were shorter are the newcomers,’ Yun says, ‘But that doesn’t last long. It only takes a couple weeks for a new camper to build up tremendous conditioning.’

And if you are new to Yun Fitness Bootcamps you’re in luck. Yun offers all new campers a chance to try it out free for two weeks. People will find out real quick if it is for them. Making it past the 2-weeks is a huge accomplishment, especially if someone has not been working out. . Only the truly motivated and committed make it through. And then you’re on your way to a healthier you, and you’ll start looking better naked in no time!

Yun offers 3 important tips when starting an exercise program:

1. Get Your Mind Right!
You have to mentally be ready for it. Change isn’t easy. So you can’t back out at the first sign of difficulty. Push through the wall and succeed!

2. Consistency
You have to do it on a consistent basis. Exercising here and there is not going to bring results—period! People do that all the time and eventually quit because their not getting results. Prioritize exercise. If you want to look good and feel good it needs to be scheduled just like you schedule a doctor’s visit or a haircut.

3. Effort
Goes back to consistency. Just showing up and putting in a half-ass effort isn’t going to bring results. The number 1 factor weather or not an exercise program is effective or drives results is—intensity. Intensity is how hard you are working. Just going through the motions will get you nothing.

The next Phase of Yun Fitness Bootcamps starts up on March 16, 2009. To register for your free 2-week trial go to http://YunTraining.com/2weeksfree.html. Or email JYun@YunBootcamps.com

Makeover Nutrition Course Wants To Create Sexier Looking Columbus Residents

Makeover Nutrition Course Wants To Create Sexier Looking Columbus Residents

Columbus, OH—February 8, 2009—The first Metabolism Makeover Weight Management Nutrition Course started earlier this year and has gotten off to a smashing success. So much so, that the company hosting this program, Yun Strength and Fitness Systems, LLC, has decided to add another class time at the end of February.

The Course is a 12-week class. Every week participants learn something new and exciting about nutrition, and how it will change their lives and bodies forever. Then in the week in between class students implement what they have learned. Every step is well planned for the student’s success. There are no huge changes in their lives, everything is slow and gradual. This is how it becomes a habit, and why the program has been so successful nationwide.

Columbus, Ohio is currently ranked #10 in the fattest cities in America rankings. Obesity rates are skyrocketing all over the country. It’s now time for action! The owner of Yun Strength and Fitness Systems, Jason Yun, wants to provide Columbus natives ‘with a proven program that works, and will work for as long as you live, as long as you stick to the principles you’ll discover in the program.’

“The program has been proven to be successful across the country already,” says Yun, who is a certified Sports Nutritionist. “Education is what makes it that way. We just don’t tell you what to eat, how much, and when. You discover why you are doing it. That is the key to lifelong success.”

Anybody who has ever been on a diet will, or has struggled with weight in the past, will benefit and will be educated on what they have been doing wrong all these years and how to do it right.

Yun offers 3 important tips that come from Metabolism Makeover program and will go a long way for anyone wanting to look better naked and sexier:

1. Never skip meals. When you skip meals your body starts feeding off your hard-earned lean muscle tissue and subcutaneous fat cells. The fat cells is what you want, but when you eat again the majority of it will be stored as fat. This is the body’s way of protecting itself in case you skip another meal. Skipping meals is one of the best ways to slow your metabolism down and gain fat.

2. Eat every 2-4 hours, and a minimum of 5 meals per day. These should be smaller than you’re used to, but is a necessity to rev your metabolism up and burn body fat throughout the day.

3. Concentrate your exercise efforts on weight training and interval training. Aerobic exercise only burns calories and fat while you are exercising. Weight training and interval training put such a high demand on the body that you actually burn calories and fat for up to 24-36 hours after exercise.

The next Metabolism Makeover program starts 2/28/09. For more information please contact Yun Strength and Fitness Systems, LLC at 614-432-9703, or email JYun@YunNutrition.com. You can also visit the website at http://www.YunNutrition.com.

Phase 2 of the Premier Fitness Boot Camp in Columbus is About To Start Rocking & Burning Fat!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Phase 2 of the Premier Fitness Boot Camp in Columbus is About To Start Rocking & Burning Fat!

Columbus, OH– The New Year has started off with a bang in 2009 for Yun Fitness Bootcamps and his superstar campers! The camps are growing month to month and had a surge of participants in January with the New Year’s resolution crowd to get in shape and lose those holiday pounds. February looks to be no different, and even busier.

Jason Yun, the owner and head instructor of the self-named fitness boot camp, brings something new and exciting to camp each day. “It’s definitely not boring,” Yun says, “I even got bored with the gym scene; same thing everyday. I’ve been teaching these camps since July and never repeated a workout. Campers love it and keep coming back for more!”

Boot camp is also a thing moving with the changing economy. With the economy in such a recession boot camps provide a reasonable alternative to one-on-one, or small group training prices. “The workouts I do give you better results, in less time, at less than 1/3 the cost of one-on-one personal training.”

Members of Yun Fitness Bootcamp can’t say enough about it either. Katie Phillips has been coming to camp since October, and had nothing but great things to say, “I love bootcamp! I was never motivated enough to work out at a gym on my own, and couldn’t afford a personal trainer. This is the perfect place for me. Plus, I’ve made a lot of friends. It’s a team-like atmosphere, everybody moving towards the same goal of looking better. It rocks!”

One thing that separates Yun’s camp from all the others in the Columbus area is that he offers all new campers the chance to try out the camp for free for 2-weeks. “You find out pretty quickly if it is for you or not. But most people are hooked after just one workout,” Yun says. With camps in the early morning and evenings, and two locations in Hilliard and Dublin these bootcamps give you plenty of options to start making some serious body changes.

Yun offers these 3 tips when it comes to picking a fitness bootcamp:

1.) Make sure the camp caters to your fitness level. A good camp will be able to accommodate a beginner up to an advanced trainee at the same time. And will be able to give progressions and/or alternative exercises for each and every exercise.

2.) Make sure the instructor is certified through a Nationally recognized organization. There are a lot of organizations out there that you can become certified online overnight with no skills or training in fitness at all. Gyms all over the country hire people with these online certifications too. It is what causes people to have bad experiences with fitness professionals and gives the industry a bad name. Look for certifications from institutions such as the National Strength and Conditioning Association or the National Academy of Sports Medicine; these institutions also require a 4-year degree in a fitness related field.

3.) Make sure your instructor looks the part. Is your instructor physically fit and always looking for new research and ways to make you and themselves better? Are you going to believe someone giving you advice when you are in better shape then they are?
