WHY YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRAIN MORE THAN 3 DAYS A WEEK

People often make the mistake of thinking that the major process of changing your body for the better comes about during the current training session that they are in. I sometimes get amazed looks when people hear of my bodybuilding contest history and that I only train 3 days a week.

The major process that brings about change DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE YOU TRAIN but while your are asleep or resting the next day.

All weight training deals with communication within the body. When you train, you tell your body change for the better, get stronger, harder, etc. If you train effectively the body has no choice but to respond, but it will only do this at rest.

Unfortunately most people do not understand this concept so they train longer and more often than needed with very little progress. This leads to wasted hours in the gym and frustration.

Train for forty five to sixty minute sessions, three times a week, get plenty of rest and you will be amazed at your progress!

HATE YOUR BODY FAT? SIMPLE STEPS TO LOSE IT!

Try to remember changing your body for the better is about properly communicating with your body through diet and exercise. Convincing your body it is not going to starve is of the highest importance.
Here are some simple steps to follow.

Eating five to six meals a day will convince your body that it is not starving, This will make your body more willing to lose body fat

Count all sugar grams as fat grams.

Try to keep your fat grams at 12-15 grams per meal.

When on a regular sleeping schedule try to not eat carbs after 6 PM.

Your meal portion size should be equal to the size of both of your hands cupped together or the size of a small salsa bowl.

Cardio and dieting together will bring the best results.

When forced to choose between doing cardio or dieting, always choose cardio for more rapid and body fat loss results.

WHY MOST DIETS DONT WORK

I have often seen the happiness of someone who thinks thats they found the perfect diet. I have seen the hope in their eyes as they imagine going through the day interacting with others confidently with their lean tight body making statements for them before a word is even spoken. Sometimes i seen them cheer as they get on the scale and look at another reduction in body weight. I have often seen them look slightly worried at themselves in the mirror wondering why even though their weight has dropped remarkably they do not look better. I have seen people's eyes fill up with tears when they tell me that the stupid diet they just tried worked for a while but then after the first initial gains, the body weight they lost came rushing back to them along with an additional 20 pounds of pure fat.

I have felt disgust at the games that the people who make up these "diets" have played with peoples hearts minds and emotions. I think i can stop these things from happening to at least some people. That is why i going to tell you why most diets do not work!

1. They are more concerned with the reduction of weight rather that the reduction of body fat.
2. They take off vital muscle which is the major body component that burns fat in the first place.
3. They take off weight too quickly which throws the body into a defensive fat preserving state.

The true purpose of a changed eating plan is to get rid of excess body fat while keeping your water and muscle. Keeping muscle tissue is extremely important to the purpose of losing body fat. Body fat has a very low metabolic rate. By itself body fat burns very little calories. However muscle is the furnace in which body fat is burned. Always remember the less muscle you have the lower your metabolic rate and the harder it is to lose body fat.

DIscover An Easy Secret For Fitness Training Success

One of the easiest ways to achieve your fitness goals and the physique that you want is to train in the morning time. Yep simple and quick to the point.

To achieve fast and effective results from fitness training you need to be consistent. Its amazing how much training dread can be built up by just going through a typical morning. KIds off to school, you off to work, come home deal with kids, and now its time to train! When you train when you first wake up typically you feel groggy. However you have little to no time to dread or find reasons why you should not train yet or even today at all.

Some might say in the morning time its too hard to train in a high energy motivated way. To that I say if you have to choose between consistent training versus inconsistent but highly motivated training definitely go with the consistent training. Any good trainer will tell you consistency is the main factor in fitness training success.

Training in the morning might be the difference between wearing that nice form fitting dress or under armor shirt you love to wear or the loose sweatshirt thats dose not look good but is useful for hiding fat.

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.
