Anyone serious about making a permanent health and fitness
result in their body must read this article...
Are you happy with your body?
Have you ever heard of the these following contraptions the
ab lounge, ab scissor, ab dolly, ab sculptor or how about
the ab-away pro and the ab energizer.
I'm willing to bet you have!
While all these gizmos sound like fascinating news. I'm
sorry to tell you they're one of the most worthless tools
you can spend your money on.
People are always looking for the easy way out, the wonder
drug or the miracle pill, some people just don't want to
put in the hard work and dedication required to put their
selves on the road to fitness...
These gadget companies would have you to believe that doing
just 5 minutes a day on their wiz-bang machines without
doing anything else will have you ready to hit the beach in
a matter of weeks.
News That Will Change Your View Of Fitness
Well unfortunately many people fall prey to such
advertisements and it really irritates me as a Fitness
Coach to see such things in this country. In this article
I'll cover the essential components that absolutely must be
present for any weight loss or fitness program to be
successful
Any weight loss program must have 3 key components present
in order to be successful.
A Supportive Eating Plan
Stressing Your Muscles
Cardiovascular Conditioning
I want to go into a little more detail about each of these
starting with:
Cardiovascular Conditioning
First let me say that aerobic activity definitely is
important when it comes to weight and fat loss, however you
can go too far, which may be news to you!!.
Aerobic exercise is very popular with women of all ages,
and some would have you to believe that endless hours of
cardio is the key to a shapely body, but I have to tell you
it's not.
Not only is excess cardiovascular exercise not the best
thing, but it can in fact be detrimental to successful
weight loss. As a Fitness Coach this is probably the most
common misconception in the health and fitness confusion.
In short excessive cardio will break down muscle tissue,
and muscle tissue is metabolically active in the body,
which basically means that it burns calories 24 hours a day
even while you sit down or sleep.
So you want to preserve as much muscle as possible by
limiting the cardiovascular exercise to around 30 min. 3-4
times per week. To supplement the weekly aerobic activity
some form of strength training should also be included!
Stressing Your Muscles
This portion of the fitness formula is often forgotten or
just left out intentionally.
Really it is not very hard, overloading the muscle just
means putting higher than normal amounts of stress on the
various muscle groups in the body to ensure that all of
your muscle is at least maintained while on a weight loss
phase!
This can literally be an endless amount of activities, from
push-ups and pull-ups to rock climbing or whatever strikes
your fancy. Most importantly if it is something that you
enjoy you will much more likely to continue doing it.
Continue with this News below where we talk about
Supportive Nutrition, the last pice of the fitness puzzle.
Supportive Nutrition
The nutritional aspect of a Fitness program is probably the
most confusing for many individuals in this country.
After all with literally hundreds of different diet's and
their books touting the various forms of food exclusivity
or focusing on just one food or food group or
macro-nutrient.
Often times people are so confused that they just don't do
anything which is the worst thing you can do. Whatever you
do, do something, you don't have to have a perfect plan,
just to get started. This is news to most people, and a
different way of viewing fitness.
You can always improve upon what you are doing the further
you get into it and the more you learn.
So really what are the right foods to eat, should you eat
half a cow's worth of meat every week, or is fat-free
cookies and fat-free ice cream the way to go.
Really you just want to eat like you think your mom would
have you eat, healthy food, and balanced amounts of various
foods. It is really, so simple, just think of what common
sense would tell you.
Would 3 cinnamon rolls for breakfast be better or a couple
of eggs and some fruit, or perhaps a bowl of oatmeal with
some cottage cheese?
Basically you want to eat as many unprocessed foods in
their natural state for carbohydrates, various forms of
meat are great, limiting the amount of high-fat meats to a
few times per week. Then a moderate amount of fat through,
nuts, oils and other fat containing foods.
The Sum Of All 3 - The Ultimate Fitness Secret
None of these 3 componenets can get you the results you are
after on your own. You need the combination of all for a
multiplication effect.
So to sum up when you here someone say that they are going
on a diet, remember this news and ask them what they mean.
Are they just going to try and starve themselves through
calorie deprovation.
A diet or fitness plan in order to be successful should
include those 3 elements as discussed, and they are again
to remind you, moderate amount of aerobic activity,
overloading the muscles, and probably the most important a
balanced and healthy nutrition plan.
I hope this news has helped you. Now just take action and
expect succcess!!
