TIP of the month

People ask me “How can I lose weight”? As a general rule of thumb if you multiply your ideal weight by 10, that would be the amount of calories you should be taking in for a day. If you do that alone, yes you could and should lose weight, but if you add cardio to your routine 45-60 minutes 5/6/7 days a week, you will reach your goals twice as fast. I’m not saying you have to restrict your diet forever and once you reach your goals you can back off a bit and reward yourself from time to time for your efforts, but on the whole you will need to maintain new habits if you want your weight loss to hold. Alcohol calories add up quickly. Watch the carbs and sugar and read your labels and how many servings per container (it is a little tricky and sometimes misleading and confusing). Every goal has some sacrifice but it will be SO WORTH IT one you reach it! Enjoy your summer and get moving!

No one is getting into shape without a consistent workout program and a clean diet. If your working out is hit or miss your results will reflect that. If your diet is not on point and you’re having 2+ glasses of wine every night then you’re never going to lose weight and have the body you want.

Discipline, dedication and hard work are the keys to a healthy body and success. I teach those principles to my client and we go over diet and calories and the importance of protein and getting a good nights sleep. You need to set yourself up for success and be organized and prepared otherwise nothing will work and you will make no progress. Working out when you don’t feel like it is important. Without a consistent workout routine you then start over each time you return to the gym and your not building on anything.

Consistency is SO important.
