What do you suggest? http://www.fitforlifemn.com/i-lack-energy-especially-mid-afternoon-what-do-you-suggest/ http://www.fitforlifemn.com/i-lack-energy-especially-mid-afternoon-what-do-you-suggest/#comments Fri, 13 May 2011 14:48:59 +0000 Heather http://www.fitforlifemn.com/?p=933 When you’re low on energy, every facet of your life suffers to some degree (i.e. poor weight management, increased mental and physical stress, lack of exercise, etc). We often look to soda and coffee drinks as a quick source of energy. Although they provide the quick bolt of energy we need, it usually lasts no more than 30 minutes. What’s the solution?

SPARK! Spark is an AdvoCare product available at Fit for Life and is just what you need to get long-lasting energy. Spark enhances mental focus, provides 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients, is sugar-free, contains only 45 calories and comes in a variety of flavors. Stop in to get “sparked” – the results will amaze you!

You can also order Spark online at: www.AdvoCare.com/10092573

This depends on what mode of exercise you choose to do, the intensity at which you perform the exercise and how much you weigh.  For example, in 30 min. you can burn approximately 400 calories doing step aerobics, 250-500 calories bicycling, 300 calories on an elliptical runner, 180 calories walking and 300-400 calories running, all assuming you weigh 150 pounds.  If you weigh less than that, you will burn fewer calories; if you weigh more than that, you will burn greater calories.

I recommend interval training; for example, 10-15 min. of 3 different exercises to keep everything fresh.
