I applaud everyone who wants to make changes to their lifestyle. Those who have a sincere desire to modify their fitness and health. However, it seems that most folks don’t get past the first 2 months of their new-found enthusiasm for a healthier lifestyle. Why? Because there are too many out there who don’t really understand the concept of combining training (exercise) and nutrition. Or, how they work together. Each is not sufficient, on their own, to achieve the success that most people seek.
Without a regime of healthy nutrition, you are setting yourself up for failure. You will be working your body hard, while failing to supply it with the fuel it requires to perform at a peak level. So, you’ll just get into your training regime only to have to quit because you will be injured or sick. Getting sick (flu or cold) within 6 to 8 weeks of any training program usually means your nutrition hasn’t been adjusted to help your body compensate for the exercise you’re doing.
To ensure you are losing body fat and gaining muscle, consider having a professional give you a Comprehensive Body Assessment. It’s one of the best ways to follow your success. At Alter Ego Fitness Experience we take numerous girth measurements and, by using a formula developed by the US Navy Seals, we will then accurately calculate your overall body fat percentage. This Comprehensive Body Assessment works well at the beginning of your training and nutrition program and then every 6 weeks thereafter.
Working with a trainer, and/or nutritionist, you can then monitor your nutrition and make any changes necessary for healthy body fat loss and muscle gain! Body fat loss and muscle building through a fitness regime, combined with a solid nutrition program – now you are on the right track for long term health and fitness!
Enough said for now. Until next time, I remain . . . Yours in Fitness!
