Photographing actor Jonathan Stoddard in studio was a blast. Check out the IG (@ brianjamesphoto) for a little BTS video to get an idea of the fun.
Jonathan was in Florida shooting a film and we connected to make some new photos for his book. He came to my studio here in St. Pete with a few outfits and we put together some lighting and set ideas. The collaborative process between the two of us was a breeze, as Jonathan has also done a lot of photography work in his past. Sometimes I feel that helps having experience on both sides of the lens. It was cool to just vibe and make images that fit both of our styles. I believe we hit a solid mix of commercial meets fashion, and edgy meets approachable. Very happy with the results.
Various types of exercise that you should know about
If you are just entering the realm of fitness, you are in for a surprise. There are quite a few types of exercises that you can dabble with. It only depends on your fitness goals or what you plan to achieve by starting the fitness regimen. Once you have sorted that out, you can choose any exercise that suits the requirement. Here, we will tell you various types of exercise that you must know about.
Cardio and aerobic exercise
Cardio might scare you, but the impact would be substantial if you choose an activity that interests you. Even brisk walking and dance classes can come under your cardio regimen. Cardio can be any activity that elevates your heart rate into the target heart zone. If your breathing intensifies or you are sweating, you are doing cardio, whatever that activity may be.
Weightlifting
Next is weightlifting or strength training. However, it does not increase your heart rate like other exercise modes. Yet it can increase your muscle strength, which is essential too. You can hire someone for personal training Oldsmar to derive the best benefit from strength training.
Core strengthening
With every movement you make, your core sustains the impact. Naturally, you must work on strengthening the same. Core exercises involve working on abdominal muscles, pelvic muscles, lower hip, etc. This allows you to improve your performance every time you hit the gym.
Stretching
You should also include stretching exercises in your routine. Doing that helps your body warm up to the workout. Muscles that are loosened and warmed have less chance of experiencing an injury. Regular stretching would also boost your body's flexibility.
Summing Up
Before you start working out, you must know the various exercises you can try. You can choose any of the above based on the results you want. Hiring a personal trainer would offer a better chance of achieving the targets set.

This is for you my friends, for all your support and expressing your care and concerns about my previous post. This frangipani is growing in a large container on our porch. It was just a stick when I got it from Sally in June, who is one of the nicest promoters out there and I also highly recommend her well organized and well attended events. (Her business is called M.Y. Promotions) She drove me around her old neighborhood in Ft Myers and when I complemented the gorgeous frangipani trees in the street she stopped at a house with 3 different color blooming trees, knocked on the door and asked her old neighbor to allow her to cut a branch from each color. Wow. Two survived, and one is already in full bloom. Isn't it gorgeous? In the next picture you'll see my next 3 events. If you live in Venice, this is your chance to shop in person before Christmas! And if you live in St Pete, you MUST have heard of the famous Shopapalooza festival. Well I will be there WITH MY HUSBAND this time! He will be selling my pottery and I will be selling my diffusers. We will probably bring our old dog, Perkins, who is a border collie and approaching his 15th birthday... We don't want to leave him in the house all day for both Saturday and Sunday. So you guys can meet him as well if you come out and see us! #stpete #stpetefl #shopapaloozafestival #venicefl #holmesbeach #bradenton #independentartist #floridacraftshows #florida #floridagirl (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJDihKONsG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Everyone wants to keep fit and ace the goals set. Yet the numerous conflicting pieces of advice offered create a sense of confusion. There are so many exercise and dietary trends that it is hard for people to comprehend which to follow. Apart from that, there are some fitness myths that people unknowingly fall prey to. Here are some of them and the truth behind it.
Myth- If you are not sore, your exercise is a waste
People say no pain, no gain when it comes to exercise. However, this is not the truth. Just being sore after exercising does not mean your workout is effective. The soreness you feel depends on how much stress you put on your muscles. Contact personal training Tarpon Springs to help you with the exercise goals.
Myth- Strength training would provide bulk to your body
This is another lie that you may be prone to believing. However, to bulk your body, you must accompany it with a suitable diet. Bodybuilders train for years to get that bulky body. Instead of focusing on the muscles created, build strength and resistance.
Myth- Crunches reduce stomach fat.
There is no way to cut down the stomach fat as such. You cannot target any area specifically and reduce the fat. Fat reduction happens all over the body. Everyone's body stores fat differently, so certain parts of your body might lose fat earlier than others.
Myth- If there is no weight loss, the workout is waste
Weight loss is just one measure of the success of your weight loss. However, hydration, diet, and hormonal body cycles define weight loss. There would be a lot of ups and downs in the weight loss journey, so focus on other parameters as well.
Summing Up
For better results from your weight loss plan, it is best to hire a personal trainer. They know just the fitness plan that would work for your body. You would feel a sudden change and conquer your fitness goals.
