Star behind the Champion

2011-04-26T13:02:00.000-07:00

(Left to right is OC Champion George Schreyer, Terry and George's dance instructor Nataliya from the Ukraine)

Looking back as a competitive bodybuilder, the source of motivation required astounds me more today than ever. Who, how and what kept me intensely focused on such a rigid and many times brutal exercise track? One of my greatest cheerleaders was my enchanting Mom who sadly died at age 55, paradoxically of poor health, no exercising.

Through all our strides and struggles of competition or simply living life, there is always that one individual, at the core of their soul, who has greater strength and tenacity than even the competitor on the stage. For OC‘s “Dancing for Tomorrow’s Stars” gala dance competition, my longtime client Terry Schreyer was the picturesque muse behind the star curtain. Terry enlightened many lives for years to come, as she lead her husband George and an entire community (one third of the audience, about 150 people) to a night of fame and contributions to support the kids of Assistance League of Newport-Mesa.

ABC 7’s entertainment reporter George Pennacchio, PBS SoCal’s Ed Arnold, and our Orange County local starlet Mindy Stearns emceed the event. George Schreyer, a successful retired businessman and philanthropist, at 70-something captured the hearts of all, taking Best Male Dancer honors and Fan Favorite with the most votes. Find out more about George here: http://tiny.ly/aZQX. He is a fascinating man; though he doesn’t always listen to my fitness advise. Shhh! Terry wins Fitness Intuitive.com “Fav n’ Fabulous Client” award.

Thanks again and again Terry for all your time and dedication! Kudos George because you're always unforgettable.

Who is there for you? Who’s your “Star behind the Champion”? Tell us about them. We’ll even listen to a bit about your talents too. You can also help Assistance League of Newport-Mesa continue to reach over 1.4 million children, seniors, families and others in need by donating here: http://assistanceleague.publishpath.com/donate.

Celebrate Starbucks' birthday with smart tasty treats

2011-03-10T10:48:00.000-08:00

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am an out-of-the-box Orange County Fitness Guru. Not your typical fitness trainer that remains rigid, structured, boring and textbook ready. I live in reality; the authentic real world versus the television version, which is actually a set up fallacy. So, let me answer how YOU can celebrate eating smart. DO NOT set yourself up for failure by creating DEPRIVATION. Enjoy a treat now and then. Hey, right now the coffee capital, Starbucks, will provide you something for FREE. Yes! I said Comped with purchase...hey it's 'sell me' Starbucks (see video). Tell Krystal at Newport Coast, CA Starbuck's location that Jeri sent you. She'll always "treat" you right.

Your Petite choices: Birthday Cake Pop, Lemon Sweet Square, Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Salted Caramel Sweet Square, Carrot Cake Cupcake, Peanut Butter Cupcake, Rocky Road Cake Pop and Tiramisu Cake Pop.

Each is less than 200 calories so you can indulge without overwhelming guilt.

Oh btw, this March month it's my birthday too, so next posts will show you how I want you to celebrate my 50 years on this planet and over 30 years as a Fitness Expert.

Jeri's Prehab Series: Famous Muscles We Injury

2010-12-06T15:13:00.000-08:00

Today, let's blame it on TIME. We don't like to take "Responsibility" for contributing to our body falling apart. That big bad, dang "R" word. Hello, every day you do nothing to get stronger, smarter, and address your fitness checklist, that's every day your body (and mind) is one step closer to a famous injury. It doesn't happen overnight. Listen, your favorite celebrity didn't take the spotlight in one week. Ask TV's TMZ.

So be mindful and be prepared. The famous IT band (Iliotibial band) is a muscle that helps and hinders many other muscles, tendons and joints such as the knee. Make a note in your mobile device and bookmark this YOU TUBE video

What does Janet Jackson and Portia de Rossi have in common this week? Food.

2010-11-06T17:37:00.000-07:00

Food is good. I love it. Janet Jackson falls in and out of love with it. Portia de Rossi had a sour affair with it. Yes, food may be good but for these girls, IT was a body & mind killer.

You might be thinking: So what's up with all these famous stars that struggle with their food relationship and body image. Hello, they are human just like you and me. They have stresses, diseases and all the rest. Being in the public eye and in front of a camera (as a career) is NOT as easy as it looks nor exactly what it looks like.

Portia, Ellen DeGeneres adored wife, fought and won her battle with anorexia (near organ shutdown weighing 82 pounds, eating only 300 calories a day). You can read all about it in her new book: "Unbearable Lightness." Janet Jackson, Michael’s, MJ, MI, (Music Icon) baby sis, fights with food on many levels among other life challenges. Hear her story of fame, food and a fascinating life on CNN (via YouTube) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3WVZwki0Uo

Now that you have the FOOD scoop for this week. Come back to Happy Mind, Happy Body Blog and I, Jeri Lynn Sunok, will strip naked and tell you my secrets of food failures, celeb perks and gut-wrenching punches (of a 30-year Fitness Expert/Personal Training Pioneer).

Every Fit Excuse In The Book: BAM! Solved...

2010-10-20T14:31:00.000-07:00

Yap, in 30 years I have heard some doozy excuses why people avoid exercising. So in the coming month, let me open your eyes to some fit life motivation and smoothing solutions. If you can POST blog or email me an honest and valid reason why you simply cannot work out, I will give you something. A Comped OC Workout so you can pay it fwd to another to help our Overfat
Epidemic, or maybe a breathwork session to decompress. (Exempt! Serious illness, injury or doctor's note, not from Mom).

REASON: "Hey, once I hit 50, menopause took over my life and I sunk into a depression."

Jeri says NOT VALID: "Personally I know and shall not deny empathy for menopause cruel and unusual difficulties for woman (men wait it's coming). However, one of the best remedies is exercising until the endorphins* come home and the joints get oiled up. Take one fit task at a time and keep moving."

Try the TRX to gentle oil up and get your body moving anywhere, anytime.

*neurotransmitters in the brain that alleviate pain, both physical and mental.

Just Show Up and Smile

2010-10-12T15:33:00.000-07:00

All fit bodies start with one move. Raise your hand if: First priority after thoughts of pressing that snooze button one more time, you mindlessly saunter over to the bathroom sink and brush your saturated, dirty teeth. Without too much effort, this becomes a well-known daily ritual.

So try developing an exercise ritual of just “showing up” to your gym, walking with the girls, or ready to rumble for your personal training session, group workout, new TRX challenge or tennis lessons etc…NO over thinking allowed. Just show up, smile and do the best you can on that given day.

We may not all start or finish at the same time but once the body gets physical, the mind engages. And then all of a sudden we respond in a positive nature to any exercise. A perceived grueling workout that was once intimidating becomes exhilarating. If I have learned anything in 30 years, it's that the body truly does LOVE exercising - the right way. And how many of you delight in a side of power-packed body TLC and endorphins? All hands up and "smile".

Do you think about working out at age 102? Eva does.

PINK wins my top Fitness Grammy Award at 2:32 >> A new meaning to Suspension Training

2010-01-31T21:19:00.000-08:00

Water check anyone? Get your daily water intake at the 52nd Grammy Awards that took place January 31st. Pink did and she got a standing ovation from her celebrity peers. Breathe and watch closely as Pink sings "Glitter in the Air" suspended in the air (start clock >> 2:32), her sheer sleek, sturdy body, at times spinning round and round, all the while spraying water onto the stage. She shows us that you can be fabulously fit and truly fearless. Pink brings a new meaning to Suspension Training, a new fitness tool on my 2010 HOT Exercise List called TRX Suspension System.

After Pink boldly sang (yap, no lip-syncing), charmed and twirled with extreme sex appeal high above a superstar Grammy's audience, this fitness expert stood up, applauds her and then handed her a virtual fitness award. Thank you PINK from Jeri, founder of www.fitnessintuitive.com. Keep going where we have never seen others go before.

The next day, Monday, I had an early a.m. workout chat (personal training session) with one of my many OC clients who yearly attend the Grammy's. I had to ask this confidential source,"Did Pink dip her entire statuesque physique in a pool of water?" I could not see the off-screen, off-camera action. Confidential source said,"Pink was submerged into some kind of water tank and then playfully body splashed water on the audience." Stay sizzling warm Pink, you multi-task, tantalizing talent. Everyone stand now:"Applause, Bravo!"

So now are you prioritizing your New Year Resolutions, New Year Intents? Stay tuned as I will share more on PINK. Find out how she stays in breathtaking shape and maintains a strong yet blithe mindset while on the road. It's not as easy as you think. But don't be BLUE; we can all learn a few things from PINK.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Late, late night Economic blues may damage health & well-being...

2010-01-29T00:40:00.000-08:00

During late, late night television, I wonder about these "fast and easy" money making one-size-fits-all exercise and diet gimmicks. Are these high-tech gadgets and simple diet plans fixing our all-fat, no muscle problems? Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says,"...Prevalence of adults in the U.S. who are obese is still high, with about one-third of adults obese in 2007-2008, although new data suggest that the rate of increase for obesity in the U.S. in recent decades may be slowing, according to a new CDC study appearing in the January 20 issue of JAMA".

Hummm, I suggest you may want to be "Mindful" of the small print at the bottom of your television screen (and PC computer or MAC screen) that usually reads "...Results Not Typical". Yap, everything is not exactly as it appears and it may not be true for you, for your body. Of course, you can use the "excuse" that you are too sleepy to read. Or, is your best thinking done after 12am? And do you also have a unique Body Clock for the best time to workout? Share with us.

Hello 2010…NEW YEAR, NEW RESULTS, NEW YOU!

As many of my clients and friends know, I like to experiment with fitness and food. Besides creating new recipes, I continually mix up NEW workouts with exercise tools, fit challenges and mindful insights. As the old dictum goes: “Do the same old thing, get the same result.”

Well, it’s a NEW YEAR so do something NEW and GET OUT of your comfort zone. I did! Since Christmas 2009, I have been working out every day (yup, daily) on this new exercise gadget called TRX® known as Suspension Training®. Later, I will write out (and meditate) regarding my personal “2010 Intents”.

How about you? What new exercise experiment do you have up your sleeve for 2010?

What is TRX?
Total Resistance Training. It’s an extremely effective and portable (use it indoors, outdoors, gym, hotel) exercise system to push, pull, lift and lower your body for a total body-gravity resistance workout. It works in different angles and provides smooth, fluid movements. The BEST yet about TRX is NO POOR ME excuses...the investment is unbelievable low cost and minimum time for maximum RESULTS!

Whoever you are, Whatever your goal, Wherever you train...

TRX® Suspension Training® exercises gives beginners, athletes, pre-to-post injury patients, fitness enthusiasts, top coaches and military personnel around the world a complete total-body training tool and the cutting-edge exercises they need to take their mind-body-cardio to refreshing and stronger-than-ever levels.

Why is everyone, including top personal trainers and countless celebrities, using TRX? Why does Jeri endorse TRX? Simply put, it works all muscles and cardio like nothing else on the market. And it cost pennies compared to thousands wasted on inefficient exercise equipment and fitness fallacies.

“TRX is a Winner! As a top fitness expert, journalist and award-winning bodybuilder, I have been in the fitness industry for over 30 years. I have seen or used thousands of exercise gadgets, researched many ludicrous "instant fat loss" or "get fit quick" claims, and personally (slowly approaching 50) try to stay in top shape regardless of minor injuries, erratic hormones and boredom…TRX is the main course to FITNESS with a side of contouring weight loss, sexy & bold muscle gains, tight glutes-to-abs, postural changes and pure conditioning & confidence. It’s a complete mind-body extraordinary feast.”

Some of the biggest names in the world of sports and fitness have discovered the benefits of Suspension Training. You can too!

The Experts use the Right Exercise Tools…their careers depend on it!

Here’s what they have to say about TRX…

"As one of the oldest players in Major League Baseball I find the TRX to be a good addition to my workouts. It helps with my strength and flexibility. It's a workout I can do with my teenage boys and we can see each other getting better each time. I will definitely use the TRX as part of my conditioning in this my twentieth Major League season."
-Jamie Moyer
MLB Pitcher
Philadelphia Phillies

"The TRX has vastly improved my entire body strength and has made me realize the importance of strengthen my core. I have incorporated the TRX workout into my daily routine at the beach. I love that the TRX is light weight and makes it easy for me to bring to every beach in America!"
-Megan Wallin
Pro Beach Volleyball Player

"The TRX is a great conditioning tool for tennis players. You can do all your strength, power, and flexibility and core workouts in an extremely efficient way. You never get bored because the possibilities are limitless. Wish it had been around when I was competing."
-Robin White
National coach & two-time US Open Doubles Champion

"After giving birth to my son, workouts using the TRX helped me get back to the LPGA Tour in just eight weeks. Not only are the workouts intense, which helped me to regain club head speed, the functionality allows me to get great workouts anywhere."
-Laura Diaz
LPGA Player

"I like the product so much it’s an integral part of my training. The main advantage of the TRX is the versatility and the way it can do so much at once, from core to balance to control to dynamic to strength to stamina.   I describe it to people as a combination of Pilates, core strength work, cable workout, and body weight exercises all in one. I hang it from a timber joist in my garage, meaning I can get a conditioning workout by walking out of my back door - no traveling to get to a gym with a load of equipment, which may not be as good anyway..."
-Gary Turner
Professional K-1 Fighter and Kickboxer 10 x World Champion

Fitness Intuitive™ is Counting more than reps!

75,000,000,000,000
No food for several weeks – Yes! We could survive.
But no air and we are dead within a few minutes. We have up to 75 trillion cells in our bodies, and each one of these precise cells is breathing. So take a moment and take in a good, long breath today.

3 out of 4…
When cardio/aerobic exercisers were asked: What is the high and low heart rate limit of your target zone (based on your fitness goal)? Three out of four had no clue.

Two times the life
Johns Hopkins Medicine’s Physical Activity on Life Expectancy study showed being physically active appears to increase total life expectancy and cardiovascular disease-free years for both men and women. Findings indicated high levels of physical activity produced about two times as great benefits in life expectancy as did moderate activity levels.

Jeri’s Workout 2

2009-04-14T16:00:00.000-07:00

SLOW MO’ ROUNDHOUSE BUTT BLAST
This slow mo’ fit motion focuses on shaping the glutes (more reps, more shape). A signature exercise based on the American style roundhouse kick and giant set technique. While training with many Muay Thai Masters, I discovered many variations of this kick based on stance, leg movement, striking surface, and the body’s flexibility range. Have a blast inside or outside your house! As you master the slow mo’ technique, we’ll talk again.

Action
• Practice without a boxing bag. Find a stationary, tall object like a chair to use as a reference point to stop semicircular leg motion.

• Stand upright about 4-5 feet away from bag/object. The side of the right hip is facing object or bag. Both fists are up near face, in a boxer guard position.

• Start the butt blast kick with your right leg. As if shadow kicking in the air, simultaneously pivot on your left foot, heel up, tilt your upper body towards ground, and extend your right leg/foot towards bag/object for suggested reps. Then for 10 reps, with body tilted toward ground and in a fixed position, lift the upper leg/knee.

• Continue doing suggested reps on the right leg, and then SLOWLY blast out both movements with your left leg. To create a fit challenge, avoid the temptation to hold onto anything for balance (but you can if you need to).

Training Traps
• Tilt your shoulder towards the ground, torso parallel to floor
• Don't lock out your extended, kicking leg
-Both legs should be slightly bent, not locked out
-Place instep, located on top of the foot, gently near or on bag/object

First try Jeri’s Workout 1 and move on each week, each month to a new workout and exercise perspective. Then when you’re feeling the exercise groove, KICK it up a notch to Workout 2 and so on.

CHAMPION KICKBOXER SIT-UPS
This signature ab exercise shapes and strengthens many areas of the abs, including the obliques (outside region of the abdominals known as "love handles"). This is a non-stop, mindful exercise. Get some fresh air and try this outside!

Action
• Lie down on your back, bend your knees, and have your partner hold your feet flat on the floor or without a partner position your feet under a stable object, couch or bed.

• Place your heels about 12 inches from your buttocks. Your arms are in a guard position; both fists near your jaw.

• Lift your upper body half way up to your knees. Simultaneously, twist at your waist and execute a left hook and then a right hook. Repeat and continue for the specified reps. Master this and I have an arsenal of ab work to show you!

Training Traps
• Shoulders should not be allowed to rest on the ground. To keep your abdominals contracted,
your shoulders should always remain about 6 inches off the ground.
• Don't lift your upper body too close to your knees.
• During the hook punches, the abdominals stay contracted and your shoulders rotate at least 45 degrees.
