Peppers add more than just spice to your meal!

Want to burn a few more calories? Let those spicy peppers do the work, as they have been shown to increase a person’s metabolism for a short time during the day.

That’s according to Registered Dietitian Melissa Hawthorne, who was quoted in the October/November issue of the national women’s magazine, Heart & Soul, which has a circulation of more than 300,000.

Congrats to them and to all of our ‘over 40’ members! Keep up the good work!!

Southern Style and Hospitality, According to Southern Living

Always one to brag about our holiday décor, I was happy to tell Southern Livingmagazine reporter Paula Disbrowe what The Houstonian does for the holidays each year, for a story she was writing for the December issue, "Road Food Revisited.” One of the editors sent us a sneak preview of the article.

And, as space always is a factor, the article gives just a snippet of info about it…take a look!

Inspirational Houstonian Member and Personal Trainer

It’s never too late to start working on your health and wellness. Just ask 69-year-old member Richard "Dick” Kuringer. According to his personal trainer Tim Lamando, Dick approached him about three years ago, sedentary and lethargic at 250 pounds. He had type 2 diabetes and a 50-inch waist. He was reluctant to begin a fitness regimen at his age, but after some urging from his grandchildren that they wanted him to "be around” and not "round,” Tim began to work with him.

Hardy Pollard makes spinning classes fun, and that's not an easy ride!

It seems that Group Exercise Instructor Hardy Pollardknows a thing or two about motivating participants in spinning classes so that they’ll keep coming back for more! In the November/December of IDEA Fitness Journal, Hardy and others from across the country offer tips in "A Smoother Ride.”

Check out number 4, "Visualize Sparingly.”

Evidently, Hardy does such a good job of keeping his cyclists on the right track that the word gets around. The reporter, Dr. Martina Heaner, heard so many good things that she’s coming in from New York City next week to take his class!
