Build Muscle, Burn Fat...learn how

It's a known proven fact that "The more muscle you have the more calories you burn" bottom line.  Your body's metabolisim is higher, more metabolic, when the lean muscle mass to fat ratio is higher. Working out doing resistance training is just as important as doing cardio and having a good diet. They all go hand in hand.

You can't expect to lose weight on just diet alone...and let's not call it a diet. Diet seems so short term if you want long lasting results eating healthy should be part of your lifestyle, a way of life.  You can still enjoy foods you love but in moderation, or on a cheat day by rewarding yourself for doing so good during the week. But know this....in order to lose weight it's calories in calories out. You need to create a calorie deficit through cutting calories & increased activity.

Cardio alone won't do it either...oh wait I take that back. You will burn calories and lose bodyfat doing cardio BUT you will also lose muscle mass. With this approach  if you're not doing anything to build or maintain your muscle mass you'll just become a "smaller fat person" with no tone.  All the time I hear people say "I'm just gonna do cardio first until  I lose the weight then I'll do some resistance weight training". OMG that is like taking the longer route to your destination. Now you just slowed down your  body's metabolisim with this approach. Why not just do both to help you get to your goals faster. Think of your muscle mass as a fire place for burning fat and  when you have both muscle mass & cardio to burn calories & fat it's like having an extra team member to help ya get the job done faster.

So like I said...Resistance Training, Cardio, & Healthy eating go hand in hand. So get in the gym pump some iron, do some cardio and eat healthy. This does not mean you have to be big like a bodybuilder....just work on changing your body composition to make it work for you and reach your fitness goals. You can do this by incorporating all these factors into your lifestyle which will result in rewarding life long results.

Knowledge is Power....Educate yourself about fitness training & nutrition and  more importantly be sure see your doctor for health check-ups. Leave no stone unturned when it comes to your health and well being.

You only get one body, it's your life, your responsibility, so take care of it and remember you can do it because you owe it to yourself. Give yourself the love you deserve.

Mind - Body - Spirit

** Thoughts by Tonia Moore **

~ Mind ~ Body ~ Spirit go hand in hand & each requires discipline in order to have some type of balance in our life.

MIND - Take time out for yourself to meditate and empty your thoughts. Believe me a little quite time alone each day is an essential priceless gift that you owe to yourself to help limit stress and keep you as sane as possible.

BODY - Exercise the body and make it a point to make wise healthy food choices to replace the bad ones. Creating new habits will prove to be beneficial and long lasting.

SPIRIT - Feed the spirit & soul through prayer, meditation, church, surrounding yourself with positive people, reading books that help motivate & inspire. Live, Laugh, Love are great for the spirit & soul.

How can we help others if we can't even help ourselves.


Reflection & Solitude are Self Rewarding
