Bet you did t know THIS about your metabolism

Bet you didn't know THIS about your metabolism... When your metabolism slows it throws off your hormones, there's a new power struggle that kicks in... Progesterone vs. cortisol Now, progesterone plays multiple essential roles, not the least of which is curbing your stress response from cortisol. What does this mean in a broad sense? Less progesterone = higher cortisol response. Cortisol = 'survival mode' and fat buildup. So when you stress about things and your mind is occupied with a mound of BS you have to deal with... Or you hit the gym for too long and put tons of extra physical stress on your body... Expect more stored fat covering up that muscle tone you've worked so hard for. It sucks, but it's the truth. That's why no amount of cardio will get the job done. Why no amount of food cutting (another stressor) will work, either. This leaves only one answer to eliminate that constant push-pull — only one way to minimize the minuses of exer

3 rules for toning past 40+

Cookie- Cutter GENERIC-based plans often go off the rails after the age of 40... What used to work no longer produces the same results, no matter how strictly you adhere to it. Even if you follow it to the letter. A big reason is that no matter how much else stays the same, one thing fundamentally does not: Metabolism. When your metabolism becomes sluggish, and stalls so does your results. What used to work... suddenly stops... Exercise needs change Plus stress tolerance and so many other factors.

Do you choose hard now or hard later?

  Let’s face it, getting and staying fit and healthy is hard work.  There’s all the effort that you have to put out in making wholesome meals.  There’s the will power that you must muster in avoiding unhealthy (TASTY!) foods.  There’s the energy that it takes to get out of bed early to get in a workout before the day begins.  There’s the struggle to lace up your shoes at the end of a long day to head out and be active rather than diving into the comfort of the couch.  To be fit and healthy is to choose to do what’s hard, right now.   Because let’s face it, getting dinner from a drive thru is easier than making it at home. And eating whatever looks the most enticing is easier than saying no thank you.  And sleeping in is easier than getting up at the crack of dawn to exercise.  And settling into the couch at the end of your day is easier than moving your body through something active.  We are faced with these decisions all day, everyday. And they add up.  DO WHAT’S HARD <==

Avoid TOO Much of THIS (If Fat Loss After 40 is your goal!)

Cut back on this after 40+ (IF fat loss is your goal!) When we should be doing less of this, many women choose to increase it. In moderation it can be very healthy... But too much, and you'll sabotage the progress you've worked so hard to create! Plus, after 40 + this becomes much harder on our bodies and increases stress hormone production... Causing us to hold onto more fat stores. Which clearly works against the goals we have for ourselves. Left unchecked, this will keep setting you back even if you do everything else right... And eat at your energy levels, leaving you feeling constantly drained. To discover what this is and reduce or eliminate it from your routine...
