Getting
Started
So you want to get in shape but you don’t know where to start.
You look in the mirror and say, “I can do this, but how?” Well, you are right: you can do this. Once you get the
desire and passion to change your body, you are on the road
to success. What is left is the know-how, and that is where a personal trainer comes in. We take you from start to finish,
and have fun and work hard along the way. It is a journey, and with the right education and motivation you can do anything
that you put your mind to. Remember, even if you are on the road to success, you can get run over if you are standing still.
Nutrition Tip:
The best time to eat--every 3 hours!
Like building a fire, it makes a difference
what size “log” you use. When you throw a big log on
the fire what happens? It takes all day to burn off. When you use small
logs to feed the fire what happens? It is used for fuel and burnt up quickly.
Same with you body, small frequent meals keeps the metabolism up and your body in constant fat burning mode.
Once you know your resting metabolism rate (RMR), you can figure out how
many calories that you need to consume daily to get the results that you
want. Depending on the nutrient makeup (proteins, carbs, and fat) you
can figure how many calories per meal that you need. Try cutting back on calories from the your 3 major meals; Add a fruit
snack in the morning and a snack lower in simple sugars for the afternoon.
The key is small frequent meals. For more info on RMR and nutrient
breakdown call Jason and set up a FREE consultation!
Exercise Tip: Core Training...Your weakest Link.
You ever thought why am I working so hard and not getting any stronger? Well it may not be the muscles
you are working, it may be your overlooked Core. So what is your Core? Your core is basically from the top of your rib
cage to your upper thigh, and glutes to shoulder blades. Core strength is a functional strength. For example,
we do yard work, play with the kids, or clean house, and our back hurts. Most likely this is because we have a weak
core. Core is like the foundation of our house. The stronger it is, the stronger our house (body) will be.
During your next workout do some exercises on a stability ball, or on one leg. Core work dosent have to take anymore
of your time, but you will reep big rewards.
