Fitness Tip - Size vs Tone

SIZE VS TONE

Lot of people out there don't workout because they don't want to gain muscle.

They are wrong don't listen to them!

Lot of people out there think that they can just run the treadmill and lose weight.

They are semi wrong listen to them and read this!

Running - will get you fit but not enough (running will get you a great cardio-vascular health but you still wont be considered fit)

SO YOU NEED SOME KIND OF RESISTANCE WEIGHT BEARING WORKOUT!

Remember - Having muscle = body needs more to function - so more calories it will burn on day to day basis; even if you just sit on your BUTT!!
Every wonder how guys and gals who are fit seem to always keep that "pudge" OF!

Well because frankly they do some kinda resistance workout with their cardio. - OK!

So people who are afraid of lifting weights start lifting them you will see that fat melt of quicker - also - people who do not want to gain muscle mass DO MORE REPS AKA - TONE your muscle

REMEMBER
8 to 10 reps(heavy weight) if you want to gain muscle - SIZE
12 to 16 reps (light to medium weight) if you want to tone your muscle - TONE

Running the treadmill with some resistant work out will help you get your result faster.(also a good diet - will be covered next week in fitness tips so keep up.)

Some benefits of resistance training = Stronger BONES
You know you will need these when you get old - (do you want that slouchy back and lose height when you are older?)

So if you haven't already start working out
(A routine that consists of Resistance training and Cardio-vascular training)

According to the American Council on Sports Medicine
MEN TEND TO GET A HEART DISEASE AT A YOUNGER AGE THAN WOMEN!

Before starting a fitness regiment consult your physician

*Any asymptomatic, apparently healthy man under 40/ and female under 50 with under 2 risk factors for cardiac/ coronary disease can safely start a moderate to vigorous exercise program without seeing a physician*

Fitness Tip: Late Night Eating = Weight Gain

At night we are typically less active - So if you eat late at night (which is usually junk food) it leads to weight gain - which eventually gets worse and worse

SO how do we combat this problem of feeling hungry late at night?

1. Spread you eating through out the day - 5- 6 small meals

2. Don't drink alcohol not only does it packs its own calories but also because it tends to increase appetite and usually bad food choice

3 If you have no choice and have to eat late night dinners well then try to make lunch the main meal and dinner a light meal.

4. Eat slowly enjoy your meals (esp that lunch if you have a light dinner)

But what about the late night munchies after dinner?

If you really listen to your body it might not be hungry (after all you had your dinner already)- usually your body is thirsty - fill up a glass of water and enjoy it instead of eating late night junk.

Learn to listen to your body!!!
If you treat it right it will treat you right and take you on a longer and joyful life journey.
