3 Reasons Why You Need To Start Your Fitness Journey Now.. Right NOW ( And 3 Ways We Can Help)

Would you like to be 50 pounds lighter just 12 months from now?  Can you image how you would look?  You’d look like a whole new, younger person.  It’s actually much easier than you think, and I’m not talking about invasive, costly surgery, or grueling routines.  All it takes is losing one pound each week. One single pound.  Let’s break it down mathematically. A pound is 3,500 calories—spread that over 7 days and you need a 500-calorie deficit each day to lose 1 pound in a week.  Your 500-calorie deficit can be done by a combination of increased calorie exertion (exercise) as well as a decrease in calories consumed (eating less). First, record your normal weekly exercise – look at everything from walking to participating in sports to exercising in the gym. This is your starting point. From here you’ll need to burn an additional 3500 calories on top of your normal weekly exercise.  If you don’t currently exercise, then any new activity will count towards your 3500-calorie weekly goal.  Second, record your norma

Weight loss resistance syndrome (WLRS) is a term used to describe the difficulty some women over 40 may experience when trying to lose weight. This syndrome is often attributed to hormonal imbalances, changes in muscle mass, and a slower metabolism that typically occurs as women age. It is also associated with other factors such as stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy eating habits. A slow metabolism can make it harder for women over 40 to lose weight because it refers to the rate at which the body converts food into energy. As women age, their metabolic rate tends to decline due to various factors, including a decrease in muscle mass and hormonal changes. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, so having less muscle mass means that the body burns fewer calories at rest. Hormonal changes also play a significant role in weight loss resistance for women over 40. As women approach menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which can lead to increased fat storage, particularly around the abdomen. Additionally, low

What are you going to do differently in the 2nd half of 2023Are you going to reduce your stress level? Are you going to improve your diet? Are you going to take exercise more seriously? Or will you allow the Summer to pass by without changing a thing? If you haven't put any thought into it, then do so now. The cool thing about a Summer is that it gives us the opportunity to reflect over our life, to acknowledge where we are and where we want to be headed. If you would like to be headed in the direction of improved health, lowered weight and increased strength, then here are 17 suggested changes for you to apply this summer: 1) Exercise 2 more hours each week than you did in 1st half of 20232) Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.3) Drink less alcohol.4) Sign up for one of my time-tested fitness programs.5) Stop drinking and eating artificial sweeteners.6) Use heavier dumbbells.7) Eat less bread, or even eliminate gluten from your diet.8) Train for a 5K, 10K or a marathon.9) Eliminate corn syrup

If having a lean and sculpted body is your goal then I’ve got good news for you: follow these 5 Workout Secrets and your goal will quickly become a reality. These secrets aren’t secret in the sense that you’ve never heard them before, because you likely have heard them. The secret is that by faithfully following each and every one of these 5 steps your progress will become automatic and your results will be guaranteed. Workout Secret #1: Consistency is KEY If you want a fit body then exercise MUST be a consistent part of your life. You can’t exercise hard this week and then take the next two weeks off and expect to see results. Results come from consistency. Workout Secret #2: Set ATTAINABLE goals Let’s be realistic here, you aren’t going to lose 20 pounds in a week. That’s not an attainable goal! Those who achieve the most amazing body transformations do so by reaching a series of progressive, attainable goals. If you would like help in determining what an appropriate, attainable goal would be for yourself t

If you're not happy with your body then your workouts have lost focus. What is your immediate goal? If you don't have a ready answer then chances are good that your motivation is low and it has resulted in a lack of results. I know from firsthand experience that operating without a goal will get you nowhere. Sure, you may still be exercising regularly and eating mindfully but without that concrete goal your efforts will yield little results. 1. Setting your goal You want to be in "better shape" but that's so vague. Dig deeper. What specifically do you wish you had now that you don't? To drop 3 dress sizes. To lose 2 inches of arm fat jiggle. To melt 4 inches from your waist. To be able to run 3 miles without stopping. 2. Define your timeline Now that you've determined exactly what part of your body isn't up to par, tie that goal in with a specific timeline. When you have a timeline to measure your progress against, you'll find that achieving your goal becomes an e

As you age your muscle mass naturally dwindles. This process, called sarcopenia, begins as early as 20 and can ramp up to .4 lb loss in muscle each year starting at age 40. There is a solution to fight off sarcopenia and to maintain your muscles: exercise your muscles with an assortment of resistance training modalities. Consistency is key – the muscle building benefits of each workout ends after about 48 hours.  Keep challenging your muscles and they will repay you with ageless strength! Call or email today to get started on a program that will keep your muscles young. Let’s do this!

The following 3 habits will result in weight gain faster than you can say 'anti-fitness habits.' Break these habits quickly. Drinking Calories. Soda pop, coffee drinks, smoothies and fruit juices are filled with calories. Since liquids won't give you a 'full' feeling, these drinks slide by without notice of how many extra calories you're getting. Stick with water to avoid extra calories.  Not Exercising. Skipping the gym day after day, week after week, and month after month will lead to muscle loss and a reduced metabolism. Exercise 3-5 days per week to keep your muscles strong and metabolism high.  Eating a Heavy Dinner. Eating a large heavy dinner sets you up for weight gain. Instead of eating the majority of your calories late in the day, spread it out over the entire day. Feel like it makes sense to talk about your health and fitness goals? Lets chat.

Fitness Success After 40 | The Truth About Your Metabolism When it comes to metabolisms, some work fast, and some work slower. That's all there is to it though, right? Wrong. There are countless factors that play into how the metabolism works, how fast it works, and what triggers this increase or decrease. To put it simply - our metabolism works like a thermostat. Unfortunately, just like a thermostat, our metabolisms can become damaged over time from harsh diets and lifestyles, like chronic low-calorie dieting. Without using all the technical talk or boring you, our bodies have a natural BMR (basic metabolic rate). If we mess with this natural process within our body, like not eating enough calories or over-exercising, then we start to mess with our personal thermostat that we've been talking about this whole time.If you aren't eating enough calories to sustain your body's basic needs, your body starts adapting to make up for the loss of energy, which means slowing the metabolism down...

oday’s focus is a biggie because even though you can’t see it, it can have a major effect on your health… And that’s belly fat. There are two basic kinds of belly fat … The “pinch-an-inch” type that’s just under your skin, called subcutaneous fat And the fat deep inside your body that you CAN’T see, called visceral fat   It’s the second type we’re going to talk about today. Having some of that deep visceral fat is healthy because, among other things, it can help protect your organs.  But too much of it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. You can get a buildup of visceral fat because of your genetics and/or lifestyle factors like stress, diet, lack of exercise, poor sleep, etc.  Here’s a quick test to see if you are at risk: Grab a tape measure and measure around your waist. Divide your waist size by your height (using either inches or centimeters for both calculations). A healthy ratio is no more than 0.5 (for both women and men).   If you’re not where you want to be, the great news
