In today’s Wellness Minute we discuss your treadmill. We teach you how to take care of it in order to keep it in top working condition for as long as possible. First always wipe off the sweat from it after a workout. Especially around any electronics. And don’t forget the beverage holder there is always some condensation in there. Moisture and electronics are never a good thing. Periodically clean the belt and the deck of the treadmill as part of your regular treadmill maintenance plan. And finally every year or so have a professional service expert who works on commercial gym equipment come by and give your treadmill a tune-up.Take a listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute we discuss your metabolism. What is it and how do you speed it up? Your metabolism is the energy you need to maintain your normal state. There is a breathing test you can take to get your basal metabolic rate to see where you are. Typically as you age your metabolism slows down and that’s why people gain weight by eating exactly what they had always been eating. So the first tip to speed up your metabolism is to eat less as you get older because you need less calories to live. Exercise also helps speed up your metabolism because you are creating lean body mass - so start lifting those weights. Take a listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute we give you some tips on how to prevent injuries and accidents by working out safely at the gym. First learn how to use the equipment. Now at most gyms they have lots of people who can teach you how proper form, how to adjust the seat, how to get on and off the machines, etc. Ask the personal trainer for help that’s why they are there. Also when you are working out in a group go at your own pace. Lots of spinning instructors love to push and push you but be careful.
