Location and pricing information below


I'm sure you've seen those foam rollers

Maybe you've even used one
Many people haven't, and those who have are usually using them incorrectly.

SMR "Self Myofascial Release" aka Foam rolling
is a performance enhancing technique, used by some of the world's greatest athletes, dancers, and fitness enthusiasts to help promote and maintain optimal muscular flexibility and over ideal range of motion.
It is also used as a recovery technique prior to and after intense workouts.

I felt it was important
to offer a sample of the SMR "Self Myofascial Release" Workshop as a class for
friends and clients who will be running The Surf City Marathon on Sunday, Feb. 6th, 2011.
I want everyone to have the tools to perform their best!

This Class is essential for every active individual
SMR is excellent for anyone who experiences sore muscles, excessive tightness or decreased range of motion; anyone who wants to maximize their physical potential; anyone who needs a massage but doesn't enjoy a stranger's touch.

About SMR "Self Myofascial Release"
(Foam Rolling)
SMR (Foam Rolling) is an excellent tool to improve flexibility, is a perfect supplement to professional massages, and is essential for anyone who lives an active lifestyle, and/or is looking to maintain a balanced, well cared for body.

Please Note
This workshop can be uncomfortable at times, sometimes painful.
Please keep in mind that it is usually suggested that participants attended at least one
prior to attending an SMR Workshop.
This is to give each participant the awareness/tools to deal with discomfort and stress in order to enjoy the benefits of SMR.
Since many of you have not had the opportunity to attend either of those workshops,
just remember to
Breathe and Relax

FOOD for THOUGHT Reward Yourself Respectfully

THINK
before you "reward" yourself with a "treat"

Is it really a "treat" or "gift" to put something in your body that
Will contribute to your demise
Will make you feel guilty once consumed
Will require you to spend more time working out than spending time with the ones you love

Reward Yourself Respectfully!
Take a Nap
Get a Massage
Take a Yoga or Stretch Class
Put some money in the bank for a vacation
Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal alone or with great company
Hug and kiss someone you love

Wishing you a happy and healthy day!

FOCUS = INTENSITY = RESULTS


Food for Thought from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez
Owner/Personal Trainer
Controlled Burn Fitness

FOCUS = INTENSITY = RESULTS
When we stay in the moment of any task, the results are better.
Whether you're at work, cooking, or working out, the more respect you pay to the task at hand, the more the results will be to your liking.

Pay attention
Stay in the moment.
You may think multi-tasking will get you more results
but all you really get is a lot of things done half-assed.

If you're feeling that the results you desire are evading you
You may want to reexamine the focus and intensity you are putting into reaching your goals

You get what you give
 Would you hire someone who has a work ethic that resembles the effort
you put into the way you take care of your health and fitness?
Some people would have to rethink the energy, intensity, and focus that they put into each of their workouts if  their careers depended on this example of work ethic.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Productive Day!

Food for Thought

Thoughts on "Fasting"
from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez Owner/Personal Trainer of Controlled Burn Fitness

Fasting
DON'T DO IT
Eating food, real food, clean food, is the best way to "cleanse" the system.
Denying your body of what it needs doesn't "cleanse" it, it just shuts down the metabolism and creates a false sense of enlightenment by depriving your brain/body of what it needs and creates bad habits in the long run.

Take a moment to really "see" the people who "fast"/"cleanse".
Do you really like what you "see" in them?
Are they really they type of person that you feel is an excellent example
of a happy, healthy, and balanced lifestyle?

Be kind to your body.
Treat your body with respect, kindness, and consideration.
More importantly, feed your body with food that fuels and nourishes.

Wishing you a happy and healthy day!

Words of Wisdom from Melissa Adylia Gutierrez of Controlled Burn Fitness


Our bodies respond to how we treat them or neglect them

Do not resent a body that is not performing the way you want it to perform.
Take a moment and think about how you've been treating your body.
You should treat it as you would treat your best friend/ loving spouse/the way you want to be treated...with respect, kindness, and consideration.
