Join Fitness Elements and Celebrate Popcorn Poppin' Month in Style!

PoppyDid you Know October is National Popcorn Poppin’ Month?

For more than 25 years, October has been celebrated as National Popcorn Poppin’ Month; however, it became "official" in 1999, when then Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman proclaimed October as National Popcorn Poppin’ Month.

While every day is a great day for celebrating popcorn, we chose the month of October because of the popcorn harvest which takes place each fall in the Midwest. Each year when the new crop is harvested, it reminds us popcorn will always be the naturally fun snack for the entire family. Popcorn Poppin' Month is the perfect time to celebrate popcorn.

Enjoy these special links and fun Tips!



Are you Aware October is National Roller Skating Month?

Discover the Exercise Benefits of Roller Skating

»Studies have shown that roller skating provides a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart.

»Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits-caloric consumption, reduction of body fat, and leg strength development.

»Roller skating is recognized and recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) as an aerobic fitness sport.

»Just one hour of moderate roller skating burns 330 calories for a 143-pound person. If that same person roller skates vigorously, he or she will burn up to 590 calories in an hour.

»The number of calories burned per hour while skating at 6 mph is 350 and 600 while skating at 10 mph.

»According to a study conducted at the University of Massachusetts, in-line skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joints compared to running.

»If someone roller skates one day, bicycles another, and swims or runs on another, the person will be getting all the fitness benefits that aerobics can offer.

»According to Dr. Carl Foster, associate professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, in-line skating as a form of exercise is as beneficial as running or cycling. (Information from International Inline Skating Association website)

»During a 30-minute period, on the average, in-line skating at a steady, comfortable rate expends 285 calories and produces a heart rate of 148 beats per minute. (Information from International Inline Skating Association website)

Did you know October is National Physical Therapy Month



Improving Mobility & Motion

No matter what area of the body ails you – neck, shoulder, back, knee – physical therapists have an established history of helping individuals improve their quality of life.

A physical therapist can help you improve your quality of life by moving freely again without pain and discomfort and feeling renewed and ready to move on. They can even help you prevent an injury altogether.

For instance, a study of 1,435 NCAA Division 1 female soccer players demonstrated that those who participated in a physical therapy program had an overall ACL injury rate 41 percent lower than those who did only a regular warm-up prior to practice.

Because physical therapists receive specialized training in a variety of sciences – physics, human anatomy, kinesiology (human movement), to name a few– they understand how the body works and how to get you moving again. They know how to manage all four of the body’s major systems – musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary (skin) – to restore and maximize mobility.

Whether you are living with diabetes, recovering from a stroke, a fall or a sports injury, a physical therapist is a trusted health care professional who will work closely with you to evaluate your condition and develop an effective, personalized plan of care. A physical therapist can help you achieve long-term results for many conditions, such as repetitive stress injuries, arthritis, back and neck pain and posture problems.












P.S. Fitness Elements
supports fellow Health Care professionals and believes in Physical Therapy if you need a referral to a great Physical Therapist in your area just let us know and we will help you find an excellent Health Care provider today! 480-212-1947 or fitnesselementsexpress@yahoo.com

News Alert! New Medical Exercise Services from Fitness Elements!















New Service Launch from Fitness Elements & Associates 13 New Markets in Medical Exercise / CEO and President Natalie Pyles Wants to Know does your Exercise and Weight loss program Guarantee 2-3 pounds per Week and 1% Body fat loss per week Guaranteed?



Phoenix, AZ- Clients of Fitness Elements are Raving of New program in Scottsdale and North Phoenix community and how they have spent the last two years investigating the weight loss industry in Phoenix. And have uncovered shocking evidence that all Phoenix and Scottsdale residents need to be aware of.
Clients of Fitness Elements and now Health & Fitness Enthusiasts, and CEO of their own Minds did not conduct this investigation in an official capacity, but rather a personal one of their own.
"Two years ago clients of Fitness Elements decided lifestyle was the only solution, as the demands of this busy world we live in today, and of CEO of their own minds and decisions, and inspiring to better themselves physically, spiritually, and emotionally became increasingly intense about their 10 pound weight gain each year and sometimes more, I began to put on weight every year, sleep less, and my energy levels plummeted," says Mr. Wolfley 2 1/2 year client of Fitness Elements & Associates. "And that's when I started looking for the quick fix 'silver bullet."'
Wolfley started with diets. He'd lose some weight, then have it all come back wiht more to spare (an all-too common problem most dieters experience). Then he moved on to home fitness gadgets, buying this contraption and that one, none of them helping. Next came the pre-packaged meal plans and then the calorie/point counting programs. Failure after failure occurred, until finally Wolfley gave in and decided it was time to get professional help from both a licensed Nutritionist, Certified Professional Trainer, and Medical Exercise Specialist.
He diligently researched every available option in Phoenix and Scottsdale until finally settling on Natalie Pyles Owner of Fitness Elements & Associates in North Phoenix www.myfitnesselements.com.
"I finally got tired of my stomach hanging over the car seat belt, and wanted to conquer this before letting it take any more control over my life, and decided I'm worth the investment to end my frustration once and for all. To my surprise, though, Fitness Elements offers a wide range of services that are truelly affordable for anyone."

Fitness Elements & Associates provides traditional one-on-one personal training, group training, bootcamps, and Medical Exercise services with state of the art equipment and the latest exercise trends. Most importantly Natalie's proprietery Nutrition system, Medical Exercise background, and Wellness Coaching style that gets Results.

"This is not what you think of when you hear about Celebrities or some other star paying hundreds of dollars per hour for personal training," says Fitness Elements owner, Pyles. " Fitness Elements staff of Certified Personal Trainers, licensed Nutritionist, and now Medical Exercise Specialist are real experts in their field and our equipment and services are top notch, but our prices are within reach of any professional or homemaker in the community. But more importantly, the results we get for our clients are what we're most proud of. We've helped over 3,000 local residents get in the best shape of their lives, and we've done it without putting a dent into their pocketbook," Pyles explains. "We offer a 2-3 pounds per week and 1% Body-fat per week money back results- base Guarantee, so if you don't get the results, you don't pay. But frankly , we've never had to refund anyone's money because they all get the fat loss, weight loss, body transforming results they want. And they get it quickly," says Pyles. The proof is on the Fitness Elements website at http://www.myfitnesselements.com/Success_Stories.htm dozens and dozens of success stories and videos from clients are easily accessible, as well as 6 special free Health and Fitness reports at http://fitnesselementsnow.com The evidence Mr. Wolfley uncovered is shocking: there is a simple, fast inexpensive weight loss and fitness solution that really works, and it's right here in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Mr. Wolfley did go with the Exclusive version after all he has worked hard and thought he deserved the upgraded version of his health and fitness. To this day Mr. Wolfley has lost 76 pounds and has kept it off for over 8 months.
Fitness Elements is currently offering two free 1 hour sessions and 1 and 1/2 hour metabolic Nutrition assessment absolutely free of charge for residents who want the kind of results Howard Wolfley got.

Top 10 Low Fat Pumpkin Recipes


Make Way for Pumpkin My Friends


Natalie Recommends these healthy Recipes by Fiona Haynes

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

How many of us think that pumpkin belongs only in pie? Yet pumpkin puree is wonderfully versatile, and good for many a recipe, both sweet and savory. Here are 10 low fat ways to use your stores of canned pumpkin.

1. Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

Pumpkin Cranberry MuffinsFiona Haynes
Not overly sweet, these delicious pumpkin cranberry muffins make a great snack or brunch offering. They're best served warm, but they also freeze well.

2. Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin PancakesFiona Haynes
If you like pancakes, you'll love pumpkin pancakes. Throw in some chopped apple, or a handful of raisins or even some chopped cranberries if you like. Enjoy with warm maple syrup.

3. Pumpkin Oatmeal

Pumpkin OatmealFiona Haynes
Hot oatmeal is one of the few low-fat breakfast foods that gives me enough energy to make it through until lunch. Some days I simply add a tablespoon of my favorite preserves; other days I add a swirl of maple syrup or a sprinkling of cinnamon, but there are times in fall and winter when I make it extra-special by making this aromatic pumpkin oatmeal.

4. Pumpkin Bites

http://z.about.com/d/lowfatcooking/1/I/7/9/pumpkincookiesmed.jpgFiona Haynes
These bite-sized pumpkin treats are a cross between a cookie and a muffin. Make them plain or sprinkle some dried cranberries or raisins and even a few chocolate chips for a delightful sweet treat.

5. Pumpkin Banana Bread

Pumpkin Banana BreadFiona Haynes
This pumpkin-banana bread is a great fall treat, that will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma. Serve warm from the oven with a mug of steaming apple cider.

6. Cream of Pumpkin Soup

Cream of Pumpkin SoupFiona Haynes
Fall is the perfect time to bring out the stockpot and make warming soups. This low fat cream of pumpkin soup is perfect on a cold fall day, or as an appetizer for a Thanksgiving dinner. A spoonful of plain low fat yogurt can be swirled in just before serving.

7. Baked Pumpkin Pasta

Baked Pumpkin PastaFiona Haynes
Break out of the mac and cheese habit with this delicious baked pumpkin pasta dish. Perfect for fall, this pumpkin pasta makes a great weeknight meal on cold evenings.

8. Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Crustless Pumpkin PieFiona Haynes
Most of the fat in pumpkin pie is in the crust. Here's a great no-crust, no-bake pumpkin pie without all the fat. This makes a great low fat option for Thanksgiving.

9. Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin CheesecakeFiona Haynes
I love cheesecake, but without any modification it's a very high fat dessert. This reduced fat pumpkin cheesecake uses light cream cheese, fat free cream cheese and egg substitute, making a more modest yet flavorful pumpkin cheesecake.

10. Pumpkin Squares

Pumpkin SquaresFiona Haynes
Not quite a brownie, these little low fat pumpkin squares make a delightful Halloween treat. Whole wheat pastry flour makes these pumpkin squares light in texture; brown sugar and, of course, pumpkin, makes them nice and moist. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips to make the chocolatey taste spread further.
