Member Spotlight for July

Kristi Titus joined HealthStyles in January 2008.  We see her here at HealthStyles working out approximately 5 days a week for about 1 ½ hours each visit.  Along with her exercise routine, she watches her diet, although she says she eating healthy rather then dieting.  By following this routine, she has lost 38 pounds since she joined HealthStyles

Congratulations Kristi!!

Exercise Tip of the Month

It takes at least six weeks of consistent training to get noticeable long-term improvements in one’s flexibility. People have a natural flexibility range as well, so there are some limits to how much flexibility one can gain. To improve flexibility, take things gradually and steadily.
