December 2015 Client of the Month

Suzanne McBride
December 2015

FullSizeRender-1

We’d like to introduce you to the December client of the month, Suzanne McBride. Suzanne, 62, is from Alpharetta, Ga and was one of Brad’s very first personal training clients. She has consistently been working out with our team now for NINE YEARS! Suzanne has followed the studio from beginning with Brad at The Pace Club, to his start-up private training business out of his condo gym, to our first private location at the Berkeley Lofts and will now follow us to our new location on Chattahoochee Ave! We’ve helped her prepare for weddings, recover and rebuild strength through two knee replacements and a variety of other goals. At the start of this year, Suzanne set her mind to achieving her all time lowest weight in her nine year endeavor of training with us. She has consistently made the morning commute to midtown from Alpharetta (alongside the rest of the ATLien commuters) to endure an hour of torture with Mandy. In addition to her weekly sessions at the studio, Suzanne commits to daily cardio sessions! The daily exercise and counting calories helped Suzanne reach and now maintain her lowest weight in nearly a decade. Each day Suzanne enters the studio with a genuine smile, abundance of optimism, and a competitive drive that has helped her dominate our leaderboard. Suzanne holds the studio record for push-ups, bench squats, an 8:14 plank, and the v-max. This month, we’d like to give two thumbs up to Suzanne for her ongoing commitment and dedication to bettering her health! Congrats Suzanne!

Cooking with Coconut Oil | Atlanta Personal Training

Benefits-of-Coconut-Oil1

Heat, along with light and oxygen, can destroy the beneficial fats in some oils. Polyunsaturated fats are the most fragile and are not recommended for cooking. Coconut oil, being mainly a saturated fat, is able to withstand higher temperatures than other oils, making it one of the best oils for cooking. It also gives a delicious taste and superb texture to foods. (http://healthyeating.sfgate.com)

At Fit Chow Atlanta, coconut oil is the only oil being used during any cooking that requires high heat.  To try Fit Chow, visit our website at www.FitChowAtlanta.com.

How we eat and stay fit…

6L1A3529

Each week, Brad and I each enjoy our very own 5-Day meal plan from Fit Chow Atlanta. We thought it may be helpful for you to see how each of us incorporate these very foods into our daily dietary intake. The most challenging part has been deciding which entrée to dive into first!

As you can see this is A LOT of food, but as you know, you should be eating small frequent meals throughout the day in order to optimize your metabolism, stabilize blood sugar and help ward-off unwanted late night binges on foods that won’t help you reach your fitness goals. Here is what a day of eating looks like for me (Mandy) and Brad, using the 6oz and the 8oz meat and vegetable portions provided by Fit Chow Atlanta.

Daily Meal Schedule (Mandy):

Breakfast– 4oz meat, 1 small fruit

Snack 1– 2oz meat

Lunch– 4oz meat, 4oz veggies

Snack 2– protein shake

Dinner– 4oz meat, 4oz veggies

Bedtime Snack– Frozen Greek Yogurt Dessert

 

Daily Meal Schedule (Brad):

Breakfast– 3 whole eggs, protein shake + fruit + veggies

Snack 1– protein shake

Lunch– 6oz meat, 4oz veggies

Snack 2– protein shake

Dinner– 8oz meat, 4oz veggies

Bedtime Snack– Frozen Greek Yogurt Dessert
