Bonnie Kaye (on-set intro) Diane Fechisin/Wellness client Debbie Griffith/Wellness Director, Denver Athletic Club BK on-set Intro: In this wellness program, a realistic diet and exercise plan gets results. bktrack 1 The first component of this wellness program is exercise with a personal trainer. sot Diane Fechisin/Wellness client "I have a six-year old and she's hard to keep up with, so I decided I really needed to get in better shape to keep up with her." bktrack 2 In just a few short months, Diane has netted some pretty impressive results. sot Diane Fechinsin/Wellness client "I've lost about 24 pounds now and I have another, I'd say about 40 to go." bktrack 3 Her trainer, Debbie Griffith put her on a combined program of weight training and cardiovascular exercise. bkstand-up with Debbie Griffith/Wellness Director, Denver Athletic Club Bonnie:"Exercise is obviously important for your weight loss goals. But for total wellness, you need to make more changes in your lifestyle than that. Debbie, what can they do as far as nutrition is concerned? Debbie: Nutrition is very important. That's why we take them to the grocery store and we teach them how to read food labels and we give them food choices that will fit with their lifestyle." bktrack 4 You don't have to give up the foods you love, just eat them in moderation, and look for healthier versions. Debbie Griffith, sot "A lean redmeat or fish, or chicken, or turkey would be just fine." bktrack 5 If you're an OREO fan, choose lowfat Oreos. And if you like sugar on your cereal, just make sure it's a lowfat, lowcal choice. And read the serving sizes, as some cereals allow just a half cup serving, which is not going to fill you up. But feel free to fill up on fruits and veggies, which will net you plenty of nutrients with little fat. TAG And as always, Bonnie reminds you to check with your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise program. | |
