MOVE
Quick fitness
Steve Hochman, personal trainer and founder of Next Level Fitness in Irvine, gives these tips for a fast, energizing, fat-burning workout for the time-challenged:

• Maintain a vigorous pace with your intervals. Set weights next to your treadmill, and alternate running and lifting.

• Work several muscles at once to keep the heart rate up, which increases the body’s demand for oxygen.

• Plan ahead – you waste time and let your heart rate slow when you are deciding what to do next.

• Pick exercises that don’t need an elaborate setup, so you don’t get sidetracked by preparing your equipment.

• Be flexible – if an apparatus is occupied, move on and come back later. Keep the pace moving and the fat melting.

Next Level Fitness recently was chosen to participate on the Mission Motivate initiative – a broadcast network that
reaches 11,200 physicians’ waiting rooms nationwide.

No more ‘Stress in the City’

Get better and feel better when you shed your stress at the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine’s sixth annual Women’s Wellness Day and Health Expo on May 10, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach.

“Stress in the City” is the theme of the conference that seeks to educate and empower women about all health-related issues. Integrative medicine expert Dr. James Gordon will headline the event, which is aimed at “finding balance in a world of chaos.”

Utilizing de-stressing tools and exercises, such as laughter yoga, T’ai Chi, massage and reflexology, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in fun, active sessions to help channel and regulate stress.

Gordon is the director of the Center of Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., and a professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Integrative medicine is a complementary approach to wellness that focuses on the whole patient – mind, body and spirit – utilizing treatments from multiple disciplines.

Cost for the seminar is $145, and proceeds support the Susan Samueli Center at UCI.
