A & Q Do you know that digestive challenges create more distress in the body than any other body

I HAVE COME TO EXPECT STOMACH PROBLEMS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT WHY DOES THIS FEELING NEVER GO AWAY?

function? Do you know that the medications commonly used to treat the symptoms of digestive distress do not get to the cause of the problem but merely mask the symptoms? The common meds used for digestive distress actually stop the production of digestive acids and enzymes critically needed for proper break down of food groups. High levels of physical, chemical and emotional stress suppress the function of the digestive system, therefore creating lowered function like pain, fatigue, allergies, frequent colds, and many more.

Here are a few suggestions:

- Stop chewing gum, you are tricking your stomach when you start to chew and there is no food to work on.

- Drink half of your body weight in ounces - Do not drink cold beverages with your meals and all drinks should be 20 min before or after your meal - Make sure you get your spine adjusted; the vertebrae in your mid back area affect the stomach.

Extinguising Exercise Excuses 1. Working out is too expensive...

Fitness

When it comes to your wellness can you really put a price on your own health? Statistics prove time and time again that preventative health care is the least expensive kind of health care. Try paying for a medical bill and then ask yourself if a gym membership is too expensive when, there are gyms in the area such as Planet Fitness that offer memberships anywhere from $10 - $20/month

2. I don’t have time to exercise...

If you keep the intensity of your workout high you can have a great workout in 45 min or less. Keep your heart-rate above 150 beats per minute for 30 minute and you just burned as many calories as a hour-long run.

3. Working out doesn’t work for me...

I just get frustrated...

Fitness and wellness requires more than just simply working out. To reach your wellness goals you should not only concentrate on your workouts, but also your nutrition, sleep, stress levels, hydration and mental acuteness

4. Exercising isn’t fun, it’s a chore

Actually there are many different ways to live a healthy, active life-style.

You can make exercising fun by joining a class and meeting people or by joining a recreational sports team such as indoor football, soccer, or volleyball. You can also spice up your workout by joining a program such as zoomba where you can dance off those unwanted pounds.

5. I’m intimidated, I don’t know what to do...

If it’s your first time in the gym and you are feeling a little intimidated that’s ok. There are trained professionals to help you get started. Many fitness clubs in the area offer personal trainers or staff who are there to guide your “first steps”. Plus you always have us at FM Stride. You can ask any questions at www.fmstride.com or follow our work outs.

Nate and Allison are breaking ground in the Fargo Fitness scene!

New Workout for the NEw Year!

Power...

Nate Keller and Allison Hennings have strong ties to the Fargo-Moorhead area. Nate a former NDSU Bison football player, and Allison, a former athletic trainer for NDSU and Concordia, have just recently brought their knowledge and work ethic back to Fargo-Moorhead in the form of a new fitness program called “CrossFit”. This program is group orientated and specializes on targeting all your muscle groups by intense training routines. FM Stride stretched out and interviewed the “CrossFit Couple” to find out more!

...Couple

Exclusive Interview

What is CrossFit? CrossFit is made up of high intensity, constantly varied, functional exercises. Meaning all of your workouts offer multi-functional, multi-muscle, multi-joint movements at high intensity and at competitive levels, that are tailored to your fitness level and experience.

How did you find out about Crossfit?

We were turned onto CrossFit by Nate’s sister out in Boise ID. Nate & I went out to Boise in August (2010) to visit CrossFit Refinery and we’re really excited about our venture. We had decided to open a CrossFit in Fargo about April 2010.

Why did you open Crossfit in Fargo?

Nate & I opened a CrossFit facility because it is different than all the other “corporatized” gyms. We are about the clients, about progress, & about results. Having been in the training world for several years now, CrossFit has opened my eyes to a fitness world that makes SO much more sence, compared to what I was used to.

What makes Crossfit special in your eyes?

CrossFit believes in not “specializing.” Which means we don’t want you to just be a good runner, weightlifter, gymnast, or sport specific athlete. We want you to excel in everything. “Prepared for the Unexpected”. This is why CrossFit is endorsed by many Military, Police, & Fire Personnel.

Why is CrossFit a great program to help people sustain results?

CrossFit is a community.. we are motivating, hold you accountable, cheer you on, and push you to your brink. Secondly, being that it combines a group setting with a Certified CrossFit Trainer as well as individual attention & instruction. Third, I have never seen

such amazing results in all areas of fitness combined into one.. cardiovascular stamina, strength, & flexibility. This is done by incorporating all these areas of fitness into a workout.. cardio, weightlifting, & gymnastic movements.

Athlete

Every fall, Andrew Johnstad goes from a local midwest farmer to a professional snocross racer whose resume inclues both Semi-Pro points championships in 2007-2008 season and last year’s most improved pro racer.

FM Stride caught up with Andrew to find out how he prepares for the upcoming season. To see Andrew in action check out the ISOC Nation Snocross Race at Newman Outdoor Feild December 10-11.

Andrew Johnstad Professional Snocross Racer

Pictures by Whayne Davis from 2009-2010 season. Andrew now rides for Ski-doo

FM Stride: How did you get into snocross racing?

Andrew: “I got into snocross first by racing motocorss on dirtbikes and it developed into a need for speed. Since there is snow around the Midwest more often than not, I figured I’d give my Polaris 440 a shot around the track!”

How do you get in shape for the snocross season?

- Rev up the engine and rev up the heart rate!

“I do a lot of road biking at intervals with an elevated heart rate. I try to keep my heart rate above 160 bpm for 60 to 90 minutes. I also do a lot of core and ab work.”

Andrew’s nutritional tip...

“Just like you have to fuel up the sled before racing, it’s critical to fuel up your body before a workout!”

Goals for the 2010-2011 season?

“My goals are to be in the top 3 points in pro stock and pro open. Also to medal at the Winter X Games.”
