Top 3 Health & Fitness Goals for 2017

The New Year is, historically, a time for resolutions, self-promise and new beginnings.

Most of you will set new goals to accomplish and stick to throughout 2017, and you are successfully crafting those decisions with your PPT provider(s).

PPT's clinical health science team has put together three of the most-requested and most-important health-related goals for the prevention of disease and to enhance quality of life.  We're excited to help you achieve these and more!


Body composition:
Your ratio of fat to fat-free weight is referred to as your body composition (bodyfat percentage).  This is a critical factor is predicting your mortality.

Age, gender and race are all factors that determine what your optimal body composition should be for optimal cardiovascular health, and we administer these tests easily right in your home or workplace.  By reaching your personalized target at an appropriate pace, you'll have reduced a major risk factor for stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular problems.

Meal structure:
PPT's meal planning gives your body just the right amounts of fats, proteins and carbs at just the right times of day.  While this is sometimes a challenge to adhere to, it has provided incredible results for nearly all who have followed it closely.

Make it your goal to follow your PPT meal plan.  Or, start with smaller goals such as "eat frequent small meals", "reduce sugars", or "stop eating until I am full".

Cardiovascular Norms:
The governing bodies of health science such as The Cooper Institute, the ASCM, The American Council on Exercise, and The World Health Organization have all agreed that cardiovascular exercise is a strong predictor for health outcomes.  Your program should generally entail four or more cardiovascular exercise sessions each week, at a minimum of 20 minutes each and at appropriate intensities for your fitness level and health.  Make it a goal to reach your personalized target every week in 2017 for healthier arteries, stronger heart function, and to reduce any future need for medication.
