Fitness Training is Unfair, Thank God!


I was discussing with one of my clients how unfair fitness training is. The strange thing is is that some times its in your favor for things to be unfair. Imagine if to get any benefit from training you had to train for twelve hours. Then after you trained you would get the benefits that fitness training brings for twelve after that. Instead what happens is you train for an 45-60 minutes then reap the benefits of training for roughly the next 3 days. Pretty amazing. The thought of that positive unfairness in fitness training inspires me and I thought that it might inspire you too.

Always try to latch your training efforts on to someone a head of you

When ever you are trying to train to improve yourself, do not make the mistake of trying to compete against someone who is not at or pass the level that you are trying to reach. As a trainer I feel that the best people for me to compete against are my own clients. Its kind of an interesting circle. I try to get my clients to be the best that they can be. Then I try to beat the level that they are at. Make sure that when you go to the gym to train that you are competing against the bigger guy or the more toned girl and not the out of shape people that use the gym as a social club,

Ready to lose Summertime fat!

When you trying to eat right summertime has to be one of the hardest times to actually succeed at it! Its amazing how many times when your are ready to be SERIOUS! about my eating there is another birthday,barbecue,house warming party, Etc. Well now that the summertime is almost over, in the time before the Holiday eating period begins, now is probably the best time to lose some summertime fat. Coming off of the Kids being off of school and all the other summertime distractions, I don't recommend anybody planning any drastic eating changes yet. What I definitely do recommend is that for anybody who is interested to do even without changing what they are actually eating is to definitely change the amount of meals that they are eating a day. No less than 5 meals ( a meal size being about 2 handfuls of food) a day. I know for myself I will be taking my meals back up to 6 a day minimum. Normally when I change my meals from a lazy 3 to nice training regiment of 6 meals a day I lose about 5 to 7 pounds. If anyone is curious as to why eating more meals a day make you lose pounds of body fat rather than gain it, shoot me a quick email and I will explain or post the reason in a another blog.
