Hypothyroidism and Exercise
Hey FitDoc
About a year ago I was diagnosed with a slow thyroid (hypo). I noticed I started to gain weight along with all the other symptoms. I find I have to work out twice as hard and long and I normally would have in the past. Do have any tips or advice for me?
Thanx,
K.

Hi K.
Hypothyroid is tough. It makes it hard to exercise when you are feeling run-down all the time. Have they started you on thyroid replacement therapy? If so, your energy level and metabolism should return towards normal again. If it is still sluggish, check with your doctor because your thyroid levels may still be a little low.
I'd say there are two other things that could help. One is to make sure to schedule your workouts - making them as much a part of your day as brushing your teeth.
The other is to make sure to do some resistance training every week to build some muscle to keep that metabolism humming as fast as possible.
I don't think Turbo Fire has any resistance days in it. So you may want to substitute 2 days a week with weights. Another option if you like, would be to try Chalean Extreme. It has a great blend of cardio and weights- and Chalene's killer motivation.
Send me an email every couple of weeks. I'll look forward to hearing how you are doing.
Good luck!

The all-new FIT TOGETHER facebook group!
FIT TOGETHER!
Support is the piece that makes the whole puzzle Fit Together!
Comment on your workouts, help support others, make new friends!
Join Doc's new Facebook Group.
Getting in great shape is hard!
We start with the best intentions, but often after a few weeks, just as we start seeing results, life gets in the way. We fall off the wagon. For many of us sticking to our fitness program can be the hardest part.
The puzzle, you see, has three pieces- exercise, eating well, and support. Beachbody programs do an awesome job with the first two pieces, but even the best programs in the universe do no good sitting on the bookshelf collecting dust.
That's why I want to personally invite you to my new Facebook accountability group, Fit Together.
Fit Together provides the missing piece to complete your fitness puzzle and keep you on track! We answer questions for each other, provide accountability, and make working out fun. It is a open, caring, supportive, group. Together we all can get in the best shape of our lives.
Find the missing piece to your fitness puzzle and help others find it too.
Do your best, forget the rest, and join us!
Iinfomercial results here we come!
(Fit Together is open to all the Beachbody customers I coach, their friends, and coaches in my downline. It is NOT limited to Beachbody workouts, anything that moves you is great!
((You have to request to join and I'll approve you. I'm new to FB Groups, so there may be a glitch or two at first. Bear with me!))
By all means pass the link on to anyone might want to get fit with us!)

Beachbody: Changing Lives Across This Great Nation of Ours
Yesterday a friend was telling me about his wife's network marketing company. It's a good company, but she's struggling to make it work. The products are high quality organic vitamins. Good stuff. But she's having trouble because people don't see the value in it. Why pay more when I can go to my supermarket and get vitamins? Why buy from you when I can just go to Whole Foods if I want organic.
It got me to thinking about Beachbody Coaching, and what makes us different from all the other MLM opportunities out there. People come up to me asking about products like Shakelogy and P90X all the time.
I figured it out. Team Beachbody is not offering a fad or a gadget. We are offering people the ability to change their lives through health and fitness.
We do not say it is easy. In fact it takes work. But if you make changes, put in the effort and support that with quality supplements, you will succeed. Millions of transformations now back that up.
What Team Beachbody offers is life change!!
Real, tangible life-change.
It's amazing... and that’s what makes it so different from everyone else.
You can't get that at Walmart.

Stand Up for Yourself!
Stand for Your Life!
Stand up. Right now... You’ll thank me in a few minutes.
Since you are reading this, you probably are the kind of person who already eats well and you probably do your best to work out regularly. Great! (I’m proud of you!) You are in the top 10% when it comes to taking care of yourself.
But you still may be sabotaging your health every single day, without even knowing it!
A new health risk has been discovered, and it might just involve you!
Regardless of how much you exercise, emerging research shows that your health, and indeed your life may depend on how much you sit!!
Are You an Active Couch Potato?
Scientists call this new class of at-risk people Active Couch Potatoes! (Seriously, that’s what they are called.)
Active couch potatoes are people who work out regularly and meet all the recommended exercise guidelines, but spend a lot of time sitting on the job, at a computer, or watching TV. Is this you?
Even in healthy physically active people, a significant association was found between sedentary time and heart disease risk factors including higher waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, triglycerides, and lower HDL cholesterol!
I want to emphasize that the risks of sitting time on your health appear to be independent of how much you exercise.
Sitting Kills
In a landmark study from Australia, where participants were followed for 6.5 years, high levels of TV time were associated with increased
all-cause and cardiovascular death rates!
Importantly, the risk of death was dose-related. For every hour people watched TV, the cardiovascular death risk went up another 20%.
The people who watched the most TV (4 hours per day or more) had an 80% higher risk of cardiac death compared to those watching the least TV (<2 hours/day).
It seems the more you sit, the faster you die!
A recent study from the United States examined sedentary behaviors in a 21 year follow-up of over 7,000 men. Those who reported spending more than 10 hours per week sitting in automobiles had an 82% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Take Breaks From Sitting
Luckily the solution is easy. Stand up. Standing, even though it is not terribly active, still involves contraction of postural muscles which
kicks your metabolism back into gear.
Studies show that interrupting your sedenary time even for short (1 minute) breaks to stand up, stretch, or walk is enough to reverse the toxic
effects of sitting. In fact, one study showed that people that took frequent breaks from being sedentary had waists that were 6 cm smaller
than the non-breakers!
So even if you have to sit a lot during your day, you can take back your health by taking regular short breaks form being sedentary.
‘Nuff said. You may take your seat now.

Keeping Up with the Kids!
Doc’s Coach Check-in May 2011
Keeping up with the kids!
You just got your DVD’s. This time you really mean it!
You are ready for a commitment, you got rid of the junk food in the house, and could barely sleep the night before you started your new program.
But man, it was tough keeping up. You did your best, and paid the price the next day!!
“I never knew sitting down could cause so much pain.” And “stairs - just became a torture chamber!” Sound familiar?
All that is OK (as long as you didn’t hurt yourself), but there is another way!
Shawn T tells us to Dig Deeper. Tony Horton asks you to Bring It! But when you are just starting out, that may be asking a lot.
Keeping up with the cast of Power 90, P90X, Turbo-fire, or Insanity is TOUGH! Don’t expect to do it right away.
It will come with time. You’ll get better, faster, and stronger every week. But don’t be afraid to MODIFY your moves or hit pause if you need to.
The most important thing you can do to get incredible results is be consistent with your movement and your eating. Intensity is important, too. But when you are starting out, an intense workout may mean marching in place. You need to be okay with that and just keep doing what you can. They say 80% of life is showing up. In fitness it is more like 95%!
Whether you are looking for better health, for weight loss, or to get ripped, it never happens over night.
Enjoy the process, modify if you need to and stick with it!
Do these simple things and you’ll be keeping up with “the kids” before you know it.
Keep pushing play,
Dr. Kevin

Mailbag: How should you email me?
Doc's Beachbody Coaching Mailbag:
From John C:
Hope all is well with the new little one. My workouts have gone very well. Worked out everyday since 5th. Today was shoulders and Arms and ARX went up 5lbs on most and upped reps on the rest will be hating life in the morning but that, that does not kill us only makes us really sore. Thanks for being my coach and I hope to chat or talk to you more in the future.
Hey JC
"that does not kill us only makes us really sore" I love it- I may have to borrow that line. (With credits to you of course.)
Glad your workouts are going well.
As far as how much to email, daily, weekly, or monthly is all great. Really whatever fits into your schedule and best keeps you (and me) accountable.
I doubled up yesterday with a full-body resistance day in the am and then Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class in the evening. I'm still just a beginner, so the class was basically learning moves, and not too much of a workout. But it still was a lot of fun.
Today I plan on some cardio- probably cardio X.
Make sure you log then all into WOWY. I think I mentioned, I'm giving away Tony Horton's new exercise book, "Bring It" to any of my coachees or coaches who logs more WOWY workouts than me for January.
Later,
Kevin

Sweat for Stuff 2011
It's that time again... Resolution time. The time when we all make plans to lose weight and get fit. "This year will be the year that I lose 20 pounds! "
Most of the time we start off strong for the first week or two, then get right back into old habits by the end of January. Sound familiar?
Not this year! This year will different. This year I want to help you keep your resolution for the full 12 months! (Just think how amazing you'll look and feel after 12 months of working out with me and and eating right. The difference will be incredible!!)
You may know about my recent contest I called "Win Doc's Stuff" where I challenged you to workout more than me. If you did, I sent you a cool prize - like a free workout DVD or a P90X hat.
The idea was to give both you and me an incentive to stay consistent with out workouts.
It was so much fun that I've decided to run the contest for all of 2011! This year I'm changing the name to Sweating for Stuff! (Pretty catchy, huh?!)
If you beat me by logging more workouts in to the WOWY Supergym for the month, you get a prize. It's that easy.
If you don't beat me, you've still worked hard, gotten more fit, and lost weight. So it is a win-win for you. You have nothing to lose but the flab!
It's a great incentive for me to workout more, too. I coach over 1,200 Team Beachbody customers. If tons of people beat me I'll have to give out so many prizes I'll go broke!!
So it forces me stay consistent with my own fitness program as well. This way, we both end up sticking to our fitness programs. We can push each other. And together we'll look and feel fabulous all year long!
I can't wait. 2011 is the year you will look like a rockstar!

I can't wait. 2011 is the year you will look like a rockstar!

3. Any workout counts. Of course as a Beachbody coach, I highly recommend Beachbody workouts like P90X, Insanity, Ten-minute Trainer, or any of the others. But jogging, yoga, swimming, or any physical activity you do to improve your health will count. (Sorry, running to the fridge won't cut it!)
4. Log workouts into WOWY that day. Workouts must be logged into your calendar at the WOWY gym each day on the day of the workout (preferably before your workout). This will give you a blue line in your calendar. Going back and entering previous workouts is not allowed. Only blue lines count. To log in go to teambeachbody.com > Get Fit > WOWY Supergym.
5. How to win. If you have more blue lines than me on your WOWY calendar month, you'll win that month's prize.

Images must be received no later than the 7th of the following month to qualify.
6. Check your progress. You can look at my WOWY calendar anytime by going to TeamBeachbody.com > Connect > My Coach, then click 'View My Calendar' on the right hand side of my profile. Or go to my profile directly here: http://teambeachbody.com/thefitdoc
7. Don't be greedy. No more than 3 monthly prizes will be awarded to any one individual for the calendar year 2011. (Even if you beat me 12 times, you will only get 3 prizes. Sorry, Superman, I have to have to set some limits!)
8. It's my game. I make the rules. Rules subject to change from time to time as I see fit. If I change them, I'll announce it prior to the rule taking effect.
9. Don't sue me. By playing the game you agree not to sue me for any reason related to this game, or anything else under the sun, really. I'm doing this as a service to and out of appreciation for my customers and coaches. It is all about having fun and getting in shape. If someone gets sue-happy, it will wreck it for the whole class. Don't be that guy. Thanks.
10. Have fun!

Finally, some GOOD news!
Story after story has been written about how Americans are big and unhealthy. Finally we have some good news for a change!
It seems the message about healthy living is getting out. I'm pretty sure it is due to the far reaching effects of this blog and my 3 readers!
CDC report finds more American adults engage in physical activity.
WebMD (11/22) reported, "More U.S. adults are making fitness a habit, according to the CDC," whose data indicate "that the percentage of U.S. adults reporting regular exercise or physical activity jumped nearly nine percent from 2001 to 2005." The agency surveyed "more than 205,000 adults in 2001, and more than 356,000 adults in 2005." The data also show that "African-American men and women made the largest gains in their physical activity and exercise statistics." This is "a step in the right direction," the CDC said. Still, "fewer than half of U.S. adults meet the government's minimum standards for physical activity."
If you are looking for some ideas on how you can get more active and join the masses so WebMD will write about YOU, check TheFitDoc.com or send me an email. I'm always happy to hear from any of my three readers.
