How to Boost your Metabolism and LOSE WEIGHT

 


When people decide that it is time to take control of their health and fitness, they usually turn to exercise. Are you one of the girls that decides to start exercising again and heads to the gym to do 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill or elliptical with no results? That used to be me! I really did not GET the fact that exercise was only a small piece of the puzzle. The missing piece is that you CANNOT out exercise a bad diet. Now here is another problem. Many people decide they are ready for a change and then try something drastic like not eating at all or following an extremely low calorie diet that is not safe or sustainable.

I need to get something clear before we move on. Going all day without eating and then having a huge dinner is possibly the WORST thing that you can do if you are wanting to get healthy and fit! I would say that 80% of the women that come to me with 50-100 pounds to lose, only eat a few meals a day! They can't understand why they continue to gain weight when they are trying to lose and don't eat very often. These types of eating habits cause your metabolism to slow down which in turn makes it even harder for you to lose weight! When you do eat, especially if you're eating processed, unhealthy food, your body will hold on to what you consume not knowing when it will receive it's next fuel. Even if you are consuming healthy foods when you are eating, your weight lost consists of primarily water and muscle when you are at a severe calorie deficit. Muscle is good and is what burns fat!

Here are some small tips to start with. I'm sure you've heard them before, but I will say it again!

 1.)     Eat 5-6 small meals per day and drink WATER!

 2.)    Never go more than 3 hours without eating

 3.)    Keep meals CLEAN (unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy carbs)

 4.)    Incorporate a balance of strength training and cardio training into your weekly routine.

 5.)    Don't be afraid to lift weights!!!! It is EXTREMELY difficult for women to BULK like the hulk. The more muscle that you build, the more fat you will burn!

Don't let another year go by without getting in the best shape of your life! I know you can do this! If you are looking for the perfect home program and support network, click here for a FREE consultation!

Beachbody Programs

The key to your success as you start and progress through your fitness journey will be finding your SOULMATE workout. Chalene Johnson, one of Beachbody's amazing trainers, describes in her PUSH book how to identify your soul mate workout. My FREE-E-GUIDE that I'm creating, will walk you through this process and give you an idea of where to start with your journey. Here are my personal favs when it comes to Beachbody Home Workout programs.

 

 

Les Mills Pump

Have you ever heard of the Body Pump class that offered in gyms across the country? Well guess what? You can do Les Mills Pump right in the comfort of your own home!! I just started this workout program and I absolutely LOVE it! It came with everything that I need to get a kick butt workout right in front of the TV. The program came in a huge box that I could barely lift off of my doorstep and carry downstairs. The box included a barbell with 4 weights. Two 5 lb. weights and two 10 lb. weights. It also included the packet of DVD's, a program guide, and a nutrition guide. I started pump right away. My first impression with the first workout, Pump Challenge, was not great. I was expecting it to be a little more difficult. It was only about 20 minutes long. However, the next week Pump Challenge turned into a longer workout called Pump and Burn. I decided to push myself a little more and add a bit more weight. WOW!! Let me tell you, my legs and booty have never been so sore! I think I did a gazillion squats. However, the program has such awesome music and eye-appeasing trainers that the time went by super fast. I love the fact that my heart rate gets up while I can feel my muscles working at the same time. I am on week 3. My legs, but, back, and arms have all been pretty sore. You can make this a beginner workout by just lifting the bar or adding more weights. LOVE IT!! Definitely my new fav!!
 

 

TurboFire

I competed in an NPC Bikini competition last year. I worked out super hard and tried to follow a strict meal plan in the months leading up to the show. Immediately after the show, I totally fell off track. I started eating extremely unhealthy foods, didn't want to workout, and ultimately gained about 15 lbs. and undid all of my hard work. I was in a real SLUMP! After Christmas, I was desperate to do something! I started TurboFire in hopes that something new would help me. After trying TurboFire for the first time, I was hooked. I was literally hopping out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to get my workout in! I had to show a video because I don't think my description would do it justice! If you love cardio kickboxing, fun-upbeat workouts, and want an amazing body, this is for you!!
