Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

 

Take a Multivitamin

Should I take a multivitamin? That is the question that is plaguing many health-conscious ladies around the world. Furthermore, things get even more confusing when experts with varying views and opinions also weigh in on this topic.

For instance, some health experts say that eating only good, clean, nutritious food is all a person needs. Yet, others still believe strongly that consuming a multivitamin has its place in a proper diet. Therefore, who is right and who is wrong? Also, should taking a multivitamin be a decision that is made more due to a person’s lifestyle or schedule?

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

Take a Multivitamin

The truth is multivitamins cannot replace good nutritious food, however, they can help. Mr. David Levinsky is a professor at Cornell University. In regards to taking multivitamins daily he says, “I take a multivitamin every day as a little insurance policy. For certain groups of healthy people, especially those whose diet has nutritional gaps, a multivitamin can help fill in those gaps.”

Moreover, health and nutrition expert Madelyn Fernstrom offers up another good reason as to why taking multivitamins could be a benefit. Fernstrom is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In reference to multivitamins Madelyn says, “In a perfect world we would all eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. We would all exercise regularly, but that’s not a reality. People can be strapped for time or money and don’t meet their daily nutrient needs. Also, you have to remember that many studies look at large population groups, not individuals.”

Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

So then, if a person does decide to take a multivitamin doing so will have its benefits. No, it will never take the place of a good meal. However it will have the ability to help supplement an already healthy diet so that a person can meet the recommended requirements for certain minerals as well as vitamins.

Nevertheless, that brings us to a brand-new issue. What type of supplement or multivitamin should a person take? Also, are all multivitamins created equal?

The scary answer to that last question is that, no, not all multivitamins are created equal. That is because some companies are allowed to sell multivitamins that are not even hundred percent completely derived from actual food. A real concern for anyone who is just trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

However, there is a practical solution to this health issue. Enter… Silver Fern Brand Whole Food Multivitamin. What makes this brand of multivitamin so different? Silver Fern answers, “Here at Silver Fern we believe you should get the most of your vitamins and minerals through the food you eat! But sometimes it’s hard to consume 8 cups of broccoli 11 cups of kale and 33 cups of spinach in the day we made it easy with our whole food multivitamin just two little capsules a day get the job done!”

But wait there’s even more benefits to taking Whole Foods multivitamins. Silver Fern continues, “A lot of you are wondering about multivitamins and why ours are different. So here it is: vitamins can be synthetic or natural. Many of the multivitamins on the market are synthetic parentheses meaning made in a lab parentheses rather than from actual real food! Companies can label it as natural as long as it contains 10% derived from plants. Silver Fern vitamins are hundred percent natural. Every bit coming from real fruits and vegetables! They are blended up and then we remove the cellulose (plant fiber) sugar, and protein… leaving dense nutrients that are then freeze-dried. We care what you put in your body and it was a frustration with what was on the market that drove us to create this unbeatable product!”

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer, Regardless of Fitness Level

fitness trainer

Choosing the right personal fitness trainer is very important. To pick up the phone and call the first trainer that popped up in a Google search, could end up being both a waste of time and money. Therefore, personal training is a valuable service, but it is best to pick a fitness trainer that can achieve the goals that YOU are after.

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer

There is no such thing as a stupid question. We recently quizzed a top Los Angeles fitness trainer on what anyone regardless of their fitness level should look for in a trainer. Remember, it is your body and it deserves only the best. With that in mind, here are a few things to definitely keep in the forefront when making your decision.

1. What are their achievements?

The Answer: Pick a trainer whose achievements closely match your goals. If you want to run a race, a runner with marathon experience would fit. If you want to lose weight, a personal trainer who has lost weight his/herself would be a great match.

Of course this is not always the case. I have trained men for mass gain and have been plenty successful. If you find a trainer you want to work with, ask if they have experience in the area. Furthermore, any great trainer will get one of their previous or current clients to call or e-mail you, with a testimonial if you request one.

2. What is their availability?

The Answer: If you want to train full force at three or four times a week, make sure the trainer has the availability. A great personal trainer is really busy, and some can only fit in 1 or 2 sessions per client a week. If you want to work with them anyway, see if they will provide you with a custom program for working out one or two days a week on your own.

3. What are you looking for in a personal trainer?

The Answer: Do you just need someone there to make sure you are exercising hard enough? Do you want someone who will motivate you like a drill Sergeant? Do you need to work on technique? Or perhaps, do you have any injuries or conditions that need a more experienced and knowledgeable trainer?

As you can see, a little analysis is required. Definitely be sure to pick out a trainer that will provide what you want. Everybody has different expectations of what a good trainer is. Find the right match for what you need to get out of your workout sessions.

Personal training is a service that fast tracks results safely and surely. A great way to find a trainer is through friends and family who can recommend their trainer to you. Alternately, do your research, and hire the best trainer for your goals and needs.

The Right Fitness Trainer

A truly skilled personal fitness trainer can help you learn not only how to get into the best shape ever, but maintain it. This kind of knowledge is simply invaluable. Los Angeles fitness coach, Erin Williams demonstrated how important it is to listen to as well as learn from the best. Furthermore, Williams shared with us a nutrition tip that can really help you shed the pounds! Enjoy.

Do your girls hang low, do they wobble to and fro? A good question indeed, especially if you are working towards achieving your dream body. No one can truly concentrate on a workout if they are enduring their melons performing a rendition of wheels of the bus go round and round. Furthermore, most ladies would be shocked to know that they are in fact NOT wearing the right size sports bra. Therefore, why should this be addressed and what are some quick tips in order to locate the perfect fit?

Fitness Tips: How to Find the Right Size Sports Bra

Many girls wonder, “Do I really need a properly fitting sports bra?” Let’s answer that with an additional question, “Would you want a sexy, toned dime piece body with stretched out droopy boobs?” Of course not!

The bust should be lifted as well as firm and a good bra can help it stay that way. However, when engaging in activity requiring a lot of movement while wearing the wrong sports bra, it can unfortunately throw a monkey wrench into your fitness. The wrong fit will not help to give you the support that you really need. This can lead to irritation as well as tons of discomfort. Something us girls can all agree on that we would like to avoid, especially since it’s tough enough to pause a Netflix binge to huff and puff for half an hour.

Therefore, let’s get to it dolls! Here’s a comprehensive chart with everything you need to know in order to choose the right size sports bra.

Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures

You’re pacing the room franticly as you wonder how you fit a grab bag, two Twinkles, theater popcorn, cake and Italian dinner into your body. As a result, you stare at your full belly hoping and praying you didn’t just undo all your hard work. First, breathe. Everyone has had a day where they ate a little bit too much of this and that. To get a dream body it takes tons sacrifice and dedication. Which is why a cheat day is not only welcomed by many but an absolute must!

No one wants to go the rest of their lives without a little “fun treat” here and there. However, what many come to find out is that including a cheat day is sometimes an even harder challenge than maintaining a nutritious diet. However, you can survive cheat day and come to use it as a valuable asset in your weight loss journey!

Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures

Did I blow it? That’s a question many ponder after a botched cheat day. However, the answer may be surprising. Most likely you did not. That is because it takes 3,500 calories in order to gain a pound of fat. So then, if you are normally eating between 1200-1800 calories a day it is very unlikely you ate 2300-1700 extra calories.

Also, it is about if cheat day turns into cheat month. If you got right back to your regular routine the day after you put yourself right back on the road to success. However, if things snowball out of control then your day of treats did unfortunately knock you off balance a bit. Therefore, the thing to remember is that one day in the long run will not mess you up, it depends on how you respond after.

cheat day

Lastly, many think that the best solution to overeating is to starve off the extra calories. This is a bad move. Starvation can cause you to lose muscle and be dehydrated. The better option would simply be to add in a little more exercise. You will burn off the calories and keep fitness at the forefront of your mind. So then, remember one day of treats is not bad and as long as you didn’t gorge you are most likely fine. Moreover, your actions after are truly the key, get right back on track and your goals shall be achieved.

Workout Buddy

Every new year millions around the world resolve to get into the best shape of their lives. Social media profiles get changed, memes are posted and gyms become more packed than a can of sardines. However, then life sets in, goals slowly fall to wayside and the masses at the gym once again trickle down to just the regulars. It’s not that good intentions were not involved, it’s just that sometimes we all could use a little extra push in the right direction in order to keep going. With that being said, have you ever personally thought about looking for a workout buddy? Having the right one by your side can help you reach your fitness goals and at times even faster than you thought!

Yet, you will want to be a tad bit selective if you do decide to go this route. It’s like going shopping while looking for one thing in particular.

You want to select a buddy that will inspire, motivate, remain consistent and fit with your overall fitness goals and aspirations. So then, how in the world are you supposed to find the right one?

Workout Buddy – 3 Questions That Will Prove You’ve Found the Right One

Workout Buddy

A few of our fitness pro pals filled us in on a few reflective questions that can help. In regards to a potential workout buddy ask yourself:

  • Will this person be able to meet in order to workout on a regular basis? Remember consistency is major key to getting in shape. Moreover, if someone is flaky they are not for you!
  • Is this person supportive or quite discouraging when it comes to your fitness goals? Any one who projects negativity or laughs at your goals does not need to be around while you are in the process off becoming an even better, healthier you. Negativity can zap your energy as well as inner motivation. Therefore, ignore or cut off the haters. Misery loves company and everyone like that can set at their own table.

Workout Buddy

  • Will your buddy be able to not only keep up, but push you to work harder during workouts? A great workout buddy will not just be another talking head, but a friendly a dedicated pal to light a fire under you when things start to feel a little “lazy.” That type of person will not allow you to settle for mediocre.

Know of someone? Good! Use the above criteria when making your final selection and you as well as your future fitness buddy will be on your way to getting fit and toned!

Even at 20 weeks aka five months Williams still looks like she can take anyone on the court… and win!

  • Talk to your doctor – Your doctor will be able to provide tons of helpful advice. Also, make sure it will be safe to continue your normal fitness regimen or find out safer alternatives.
  • Get your cardio – Be sure to stick to low impact exercises. This means no jumping or hopping around. Hitting a treadmill or elliptical are much safer options. Get a good sweat but never overheat.
  • Chair Squats – Do 2-3 sets of 20 reps of this exercise to keep your lower body in check. Bye bye thunder thighs!
  • Invest in Dumbbells – Purchase a lightweight pair in order to perform curls, presses and kickbacks for the upper body. These exercises can be done in the comfort of a chair and will help keep your muscles toned.
  • Learn to love walking – Walking is one of the best low impact exercises for pregnant women. It’s a simple and easy exercise that can be done anywhere as well as anytime. Aim to walk for 30-60 minutes or if you are too exhausted it is totally okay to break up your workout. Try shorter increments of time like 8-10 minutes each throughout the day. It all will add up in the end and the point anyway is to keep moving throughout your pregnancy as long as your doctor approves.

Ready for the final five? These next tips will help you stay trim when the fork is in your hand and on the right track.

  • Don’t overeat– Most women only need between 300-450 additional calories during pregnancy. So as fun as it sounds to eat 5 more cheeseburgers than usual, it is not really necessary.
  • Dine for two – Eat high quality protein and healthy mono and saturated fats. This is good for you and the development of your baby. This high satiety diet will help reduce cravings making you want to snack while keeping your blood glucose levels nice and stable.
  • Chase Waterfalls – Drink TONS of water, at least 64 ounces and tack on an additional 8 ounces for every 30 minutes of exercise. Water will help you stay hydrated and reduce nausea, tiredness as well as overeating.
  • Take a rest – You don’t have to go all balls to walls to stay in shape. Listen to your body, if you need rest take it. You can always get back to your regular program once you’re no longer exhausted.
  • Go to bed – Get some beauty rest for you and your future bundle of joy. Getting AT LEAST 8 hours every night will help you recover from your fitness routine and the changes that occur as your baby grows.

By keeping the above tips in mind you will keep the physique you desire. Let Serena be your inspiration and like her you will be able get through your pregnancy like a champ.
