Enjoy your day!

Hello Friends!

Hope you are having a nice start to your week!

It's a bit chilly outside today... but it will start to warm up soon! May is just around the corner.

This is actually good running weather and I have to say I've been better about getting out there!

Now.. for the star of our show.. Karli Taylor, with this week's "Resolution Solution"...

Stay tuned...

Hi Everyone...

I love this time of year. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons. I've been having a lot of fun this week taking my camera where I go and snapping pictures of Spring-time in bloom.

I set up an album on SW today and would like to invite you to put up your pictures that say "Yipeee! Spring is Here"!!

Have a wonderful day.

Morning Everyone!

This is a very pretty time of year. I"m trying to take some extra time to notice the trees starting to bloom. That bright color green.. lime.. is my favorite color!

I got out for a run this morning.. It was hard.. but the nice weather made it better!

Coming up.. the one only KT.. that's Karli Taylor with your "Resolution Solution"..

I really enjoy Karli's philosophy on fitness because it really isn't about fitness, it's about overall wellness.

Stay Tuned...

This has been an exciting week!! Many of you know that Goldie Hawn came to the Capital Region this week and Buzz Media Solutions had the privilege of organizing her events and promoting her program!

Buzz Media Solutions is a consulting business that helps organizations meet their goals through business development and marketing. One of our clients, Brown School, is working with us and we're helping to get the word out about all that they do in the name of education.

Brown School has adopted a terrific program called MindUP which was founded by Goldie Hawn through the Hawn Foundation. MindUP focuses on providing students in schools the social and emotional tools they need for happiness and success. Brown School, in fact, was the first school in the nation to adopt this program school-wide.

Because of Brown's and another school (which will open soon) Capital Lyceum's dedication to the philosophy, Goldie Hawn came to the region to talk about the program.

We organized a luncheon and a VIP cocktail hour as a team with a few other marketing folks and it was a terrific day.

I had an opportunity to talk with Goldie Hawn privately for about 10 minutes about the program. We sat outside on a hotel balcony and chatted about the good work she is doing and importance of the program in our schools. This is obviously a special talk I will always remember.

If you know of any educators interested in this program, let me know and I will get you in touch with Brown School.

Now back to enjoying this beautiful day!! Have a great one!

It is rare these days to pick up a health or fitness magazine without our attention being drawn to an article on the best way to exercise in order to boost metabolism. Unfortunately, we are often exposed to considerable misinformation that can leave us frustrated and more confused than we were before we read anything!

Metabolism, for our purposes, describes the burning of calories necessary to supply the body with the energy it needs to function. There are three major ways we burn calories during the day:
• Resting metabolic rate (RMR),
• The thermic effect of food (TEF),
• Physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE).

RMR is the number of calories we burn to maintain our vital body processes in a resting state. It typically accounts for about 65-75 percent of your total daily calorie expenditure.
The TEF results from eating food, and is the increase in energy expended above your RMR that results from digestion, absorption, and storage of the food you eat. It typically accounts for about 5-10 percent of the total calories you burn in a day.
Finally, PAEE accounts for the remainder of your daily energy expenditure, and, as the name suggests, is the increase in our calorie burning due to any physical activity. Included in PAEE is the energy expended in exercise, the activities of daily living, and even fidgeting.

So how do we speed up our metabolism like all of these articles are telling us that we can??

Your metabolism absolutely speeds up when you exercise, and the longer you exercise the longer your metabolic rate stays elevated. The extent to which it increases is also dependant on the intensity with which you are working out. Makes sense, right? Work out harder, burn more…
So you are probably thinking I can workout harder OR longer and burn more calories. What if you do both?
One frequently asked question is “Do we continue to burn calories after we finish exercising?” Research clearly shows that we do. How long this after-burn lasts depends primarily on how hard you exercise.
SO if you workout just a little bit longer, and a little bit harder, you will burn more calories. But wait, there is more!
By adding regular weight lifting to your routine, you will increase skeletal muscle mass. It is estimated that each pound of muscle burns about 10 calories per day while at rest, so you would be burning more calories each day just sitting on your couch!

In Health,
KT

Good Morning!

Hope you are having a nice weekend. My mom always sends me very interesting emails and links. I really liked one she sent today. It is creative marketing and an interesting message.

So.. I thought I would share it with you!
