Cardio is an important part of your fitness program. I see many people skip it or do it incorrectly. They either go for TOO LONG as a super-easy pace or they go for TOO SHORT or nothing at all.

Making cardio a priority and doing 3 consistent cardio workout a week can make dramatic results in the appearance of your body. While strength training is critical to increasing your lean mass (your muscle), cardio is the KEY TO BURNING FAT. It also keeps your heart and lungs strong.

So, if you are a cardio slacker or are not seeing the results you want — look at your cardio workout and/or call me for a cardio consultation.

Ok — I always have clients asking me how to eat healthy and how to lose weight. Eating a lot of fruits and veggies is a challenge. Believe me, I know!! You have to work at it. Try to eat a balanced diet and include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. They are a great source of fiber and vitamins with very little calories. Nobody ever got fat from eating too many vegetables!! I wish you great success on your weight loss and fitness goals!!

I had someone ask me about a personal training guarantee. Here is the deal…… DO THE WORK!! COMMIT COMMIT COMMIT

And you will lose weight and get fit. Personal training gives you the guidelines to do that safely, effectively and efficiently.

BUT, personal training alone will not get you what you need. YOU ARE THE KEY to getting fit!!

70% of effective weight loss is nutrition!!

If you are one of my clients you hear me say that OVER AND OVER! But it is true.

Cereal can make a great breakfast and a lot of cereals are low in calories. But if the box says a serving is one cup and you free-pour 2-3 cups, you are not being honest in how many calories you are taking in.

If you are stuck on a plateau or not seeing the scale budge when you are really trying, try measuring your food for a day or two and keeping a food diary for a week. You may be surprised!!
