With the start of a New Year, it means that it is time to create a new list of personal goals for the year ahead! Many people’s New Year resolutions involve making the choice to focus on their personal health and wellness. This can involve aspects of physical health, mental health, nutrition, personal wellness and overall well being. People often choose to purchase a gym or fitness facility membership to get them started with their health goals for the New Year. The gym is a great option to help build a routine, reduce stress and anxiety, and lose weight!

Benefits of Going to the Gym

Attending the gym or fitness facilities are a great option to work towards weight loss, gain muscle, improve strength and conditioning or to simply socialize with new people in a group Exercise class! In Regina, there are a variety of gyms and fitness facilities that people can attend with endless opportunities and variety. There are places like Evolution Fitness, Planet Fitness and GoodLife fitness which are large 24 hour facilities with free weights, exercise machines, cardio equipment and so much more. There is also other places like Orange Theory Fitness that offer group classes that are lead by a trainer, as well as exercise specific studios that offer classes such as high intensity interval training (HIIT), spin, yoga, barre fit, and pilates.

Is Exercise Enough?

Many people face the problem of losing weight in stubborn areas of the body by just exercise and nutrition changes alone, and this is where Coolsculpting can benefit you!  CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that works by freezing away the stubborn fat cells in your body. There are areas in the body that are more resistant to weight loss and are difficult to lose excess weight in such as the chin, flanks, and stomach. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and kill only the fat cells in that area and doing no damage to other tissues or organs. In the weeks following treatment, the body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells. The results are permanent because once the cells are dead, they won’t return!

The CoolSculpting Advantage

The CoolSculpting procedure itself is virtually painless with little to no downtime! Most patients will feel a slight pulling or cooling sensation to start, and then the skin will go numb so the patient can sit, relax, nap or watch a movie during the appointment. After the appointment, the patient is able to return to work that day and continue their normal day to day activities. Coolsculpting also leaves no permanent marks behind after the procedure, so there is no worry about life long scarring that will leave you feeling insecure about your new body.  CoolSculpting itself is not a weight loss method, but it is to be used complimentary alongside your other weight loss methods such as healthy eating and exercise for the most successful results. People are more likely to stick to a healthy eating plan if they maintain a physical exercise schedule as well, both of these together will help maintain the results achieved with CoolSculpting.
