Natasha Marie Figueras Mother of 2, Certified AAPT & PTA Global 🇵🇷♉️Navy Vet 📍Miami 🌊☀️Pats 🏈 Personal Trainer In this episode, Natasha gives us a glimpse into why she became one of South Florida's most sought after personal trainers! When she wasn't training law enforcement, city officials and other personalities, she was raising her two wonderful sons with just the help of her mother. Deeply passionate about helping other people, she left the corporate world to start her own training business to better serve her clientele with the heart and love that wasn't in the DNA of the industry.  The champion of natural, hard-working fitness, tells us like it is. **There is some noise in the background for the 1st few responses but the remainder of the interview is perfect. She is open and willing to answer any questions for free. DM to book an appointment with her. 😉 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/revolutionizefitness/support

Find our blog at https://revolutionizefitness.com/ Follow the Facebook page, Instagram and twitter “Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Stacked up on top of each other.” - Ray Lewis However, by employing these 5 things every day, we can work to maintain our health and wellness in the face of those challenges. Choose to walk more The key word here is choose. Sometimes there is nothing more frustrating than going to the store with the intention of getting a single item and realizing the only available spots are furthest from the entrance. Most of us hate that. What if, instead of being a victim, we used  that walk to our advantage. Making a conscious decision to park further so we can walk more does wonders for our mental and physical health. Not to mention the extra calories we burn by making that time, walking releases calming chemicals in the body which improves mental health. Take Breaks From Sitting I suggest setting a timer for every 20-30 minutes and commit to getting up and doing some kind of activity for 2-3 minutes. That can be walking, pushups, squats...anything. This will increase your productivity at the task you’re working on AND ALSO help prevent numerous ailments that come with prolonged sitting. Those include: upper cross syndrome, low-back pain, hamstring tightness, etc. Stairs are our friends  Strengthen your legs: Engage your glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves and core. Heart Healthy: There’s a reason we all feel winded after climbing a flight of stairs.The activation of all these muscles and the task of moving our entire body weight up these stairs puts a demand on your circulatory system. Bone Health: Carrying the weight of your body against gravity puts stress on your bones. Bones respond well to healthy stress by strengthening. This is great to delay the onset of osteoporosis or help reduce the effects if it is already present. Drink MORE water The last thing you need is ANOTHER reminder that you need to drink water. Your ENTIRE body is water. The more your drink, the better life is. Period. Set aside a portion of your restaurant meals1 (or food you’ve ordered) Nobody appreciates food more than me. I’ve made a living committing myself to finishing any meal that I start. Even if I’m full, the taste overwhelms me and I continue. By setting aside a portion BEFORE eating, you give yourself a chance to feel full without being tempted by the food remaining on the plate. We can’t workout every day, not the way we want at least. BUT we can still make every day count by doing the little things. Learn more online.

FULL BLOG ARTICLE REGULAR FASTING What fasting does is it empties THE FRIDGE. With little to no source of materials to use in energy production, your body goes into the basement to grab some fat from THE FREEZER to burn for energy. NOW LISTEN UP! You can't determine where the freezer fat gets pulled from with exercise or equipment. So the regularity with which you fast increases your body’s ability AND WILLINGNESS to pull the fat. SPRINT TRAINING You use every muscle in the body, even your neck muscles! But, on top of that, the muscle fibers involved in creating such vigorous movement and subsequent limb control also burn more calories than their counterparts. With proper technique and safe practice, production in sprinting is likened to those produced with heavy lifting in the gym BLACK COFFEE - MAKE THE SWITCH, YOU’LL LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK Black coffee, it has to be black, has the ability to mobilize stagnant fat to start breaking down.

Imagine being told to lose weight when you don’t even feel safe in your own home. When you get off the bus after working 12 hours and have to walk the next block in the dark in a bad neighborhood, how can you even think about following an exercise program? Knowledge cannot be power without the ability to apply it. Having all the knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating habits mean nothing without access to a grocery store. “...people who don't have access to grocery stores with healthy foods are less likely to have good nutrition. That raises their risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity — and even lowers life expectancy relative to people who do have access to healthy foods.” - US Department of Health and Human Services Learn more online.

https://revolutionizefitness.com/ Personalized Recommendations This is possibly my favorite feature so we’ll start here. All too often, those new to the fitness world find it most difficult to keep going due to mental fatigue. The gap between decision and action seems insurmountable and that leaves room for doubt and disappointment. The app actually quickly recommends the next workout, avoiding that gap, that considers “previously completed workouts and intelligently suggests new options that match the workouts users select most often, or something fresh to balance their current routine.” Filtering Tools Being able to choose what’s most important to you is a key part of retention. Among the options: type of workout, the trainer, duration, music etc. Fully integrated The watch and viewing screen are synchronized. Because the trainers are actually employed by Apple, the workouts are designed and coincide perfectly with the app. “ For example, when the trainer says to check heart rate or begins a countdown timer, those numbers will animate on the screen.” Activity Sharing This creates a way to develop an accountability system with your peers. You have the ability to share workouts with friends and family, as well as social media. As a personal trainer, I would love to have this kind of system to allow my clients and I to keep each other abreast to their fitness progress. If we work out 2x a week, the client is able to share proof to the trainer that workouts were completed on non-session days. Accountability is crucial to the fitness journey for most people. The tech won’t give you motivation and discipline...but if you have those already, this can be a great tool to keep going. Learn more online.
