FITNESS AND NUTRITION TIPS

BARB WEIGHS IN ON “I Know What To Do But Just Can’t Lose Weight”

Why would you think you know what to do if you have a weight issue?  Because you have watched the talk shows with the experts?  The infomercials?  The magazines?  If your education was provided by late night TV, or so-called organized programs, you probably don’t know what to do. 

In my opinion successful weight loss starts with a clear reason why you want and need to lose weight. The next step is to educate yourself.   When I went through this process I was overwhelmed and confused.  I was angry because of the mixed messages that infiltrate our society.  I realized I could stay angry or do something about easing the way for other people in my situation.  That is why I became a Personal Trainer and  Nutritional Fitness Coach.  Some of what you know is accurate, most is outright wrong.   What we need to do is fairly simple, but how can a food or fitness company take your money if you aren’t buying their product?    These companies create a gimmick, hire doctor or expert to convince you of the benefits of what only their product can provide and the cycle of misinformation begins and snowballs.

Granted this is simplified, but this is the start of everything you need to know:

->Exercise often, and exercise properly.    
->There is a lot more to exercise than cardio or moving some weights around.
->Buy fresh foods, whole grains, less processed foods.  Eat out less often.
->Get enough rest.
->Question everything you read, know, or have been told and then make informed decisions.
->Be patient.  Miracles do not happen overnight.   But you will see great improvement in a surprisingly short period of time when you approach this process correctly.

I work with clients to make everything manageable.  I will teach you the truths when it comes to spending your hard earned money on fitness and nutrition.   Education is key!  I will show you how to exercise safely and with results.   I know what to do, and so does my clients.

  When you focus on what is healthy, everything else falls into place.

Bonus tip:  

Try this tip during the week to burn up a few more calories and keep your metabolism in high gear.  Walk with a sense of urgency!   Whether at work, shopping or at home, walk as if you were running late for a meeting and you have to hurry.  If you are exercising right and eating right, but shuffling during the day, you are losing an opportunity to burn more calories and increase your energy!
