Fab Five Fit Facts

Things to think about as you embark on getting fit or continue with staying fit…

Strength training is great for fat burning. When you strength train a time or three a week, you increase you metabolism. The calories you burn during and after strength training along with the toning results you see from strength training is well worth the work. Each time you strength train, your muscles are working hard and this creates tiny little tears that require rest for reparation and recovery. Always allow 48 hours or more between strength training sessions to recover and grow stronger and more toned.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) do you know what that is or what yours is? It’s a great tool to have in your tool box. Most people’s RMRs are well above 1000 calories per day which means if you were to stay in bed all day and do absolutely nothing you’d burn your RMR amount in calories per day. Some people under eat thus putting their body into a starvation mode and slowing their metabolism. Always be sure to take in plenty of calories per day, by plenty I mean a respectable amount for your activity level.

Why not look at the scale? Have you ever hopped on the scale, you know you’ve been eating really well and working really hard to find that you’ve GAINED weight? Yup, I bet we’ve all been there. Check in with how your clothes are fitting, do your measurements, you’ll find you’re doing a lot better than you thought. You might even want to readjust your goal weight while you’re on your fitness journey, you may realize you’ve shot too low.

Muscle is denser than fat. Going hand and hand with not paying attention to the number on the scale, remember that muscle is denser than fat. Fat takes up much more area in your body so as you begin and continue to tone, you’ll notice your body becomes leaner though the number on the scale may not. Again, pay attention to your measurements.

Strength training at home. Many people think you have to go to a gym to tone up, but really you have everything you need right at home. You can perform push-ups to tone your chest, tricep dips on a chair for the back of your arms, and wall-sits for your thighs, just to name a few. If you like the gym, by all means, go there to get in shape, if you prefer to work out at home, or just don’t find the time to go to another location to workout, there are plenty of strength training exercises you can do at home, even while watching TV!
