New Group Classes

Sherry has been working hard to put together the best schedule ever at South Beach. Beginning in January there will be two new Pilates classes on the schedule. Tuesdays at 5.15 with Diane, and Saturday mornings at 8.15.

She also added another BootCamp on Wednesday mornings with Ann Marie, and another Pilates Ball class with Bobbie on Friday mornings. 

Be sure to check the schedule frequently as there will likely be more additions in January!

Nutrition Tips

Health for the Holidays:

Studies over the past several years have shown holiday weight gain between Thanksgiving and Christmas ranges from one to five pounds for the average American. Factor in the time between Halloween and New Years, and unwanted pounds can increase even further. While a small weight gain is usually not a concern, problems arise when most people do not shed these pounds over the upcoming year. Within as little as 3-5 years, a significant weight gain can occur resulting in an increased risk for developing diabetes, heart disease, or other health problems.

So, how do we help ourselves and loved ones stay healthy over the holidays? One way is to attend our FREE nutrition seminar on December 16th at 5:00 pm. We'll be discussing tips to help prevent holiday weight gain and ways to keep your body healthy during the holiday season. Another way is through your gift giving. Instead of baskets of cookies and chocolates, be creative and consider the following health-focused gifts for friends and family:

• Homemade gift baskets. Include an assortment of teas (high in antioxidants), walnuts & almonds (good source of fiber, protein and heart-healthy fats), bite-size dark chocolates (at least 70% cocoa for the most antioxidants), and sugar-free gum. A recent study shows chewing gum may help with weight management, and it may also help manage food cravings.
  
• Pedometer. Using one can help motivate people to stay active and set small goals to gradually reach the recommended 10,000 steps per day. You can purchase pedometers and even track your steps online through America on the Move.
  
• Herb growing kit and/or collection of spices. Replace salt with fresh herbs and dried spices in any recipe to make your meals more flavorful. There is also evidence that using a variety of spices on a regular basis can help decrease inflammation in our bodies.
  
• So Easy: Luscious, Healthy Recipes for Every Meal of the Week. This cookbook is great for chefs at any level and is written by Ellie Krieger, a registered dietitian. Ellie is also an author and host of the Food Network show, Healthy Appetite.
  
• Exotic fruit basket. Put a spin on the traditional fruit basket by making your own out of a collection of less common fruits such as kiwis, persimmons, starfruit, and pomegranates. For a healthy snack all year round, another idea is a Fruit of the Month gift (visit Harry & David for ideas).
• Individual visits with a registered dietitian, personal trainer and/or a gym membership. Many offices and gyms offer holiday gift certificates, including South Beach Fitness (ask at the front desk for details). We are also starting an 8-week weight management program in January which can be purchased in advance for a holiday gift.
