Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

  Are there things about yourself that you'd like to change?  Your weight, your habits, and maybe even your outlook on life?  We are trained to think that change is hard, that it takes time. But it really doesn't have to be.  I'm here to argue that lasting change happens in an instant.  I understand that this goes against mainstream belief. Most people believe that change has to be a struggle. We expect to try and fail numerous times before ultimately giving up or succeeding.  Think about this - how many people do you know who struggle with their weight? They want to make a healthy change by getting in shape, but the change never seems to happen.  What is it in your life that you want to change? Do you have inches to lose?

  All workouts were not created equally. Here are 5 secrets to achieve faster fitness results… Faster Fitness Results Tip 1: Use More Resistance  In order to get the most from each rep it’s important to challenge your muscles, and not to simply go through the motions. If you are able to complete 15 repetitions easily, then the weight is too light.

Faster Fitness Results Tip 2: Keep it Fresh You may have noticed that most people do the same exercises each time they visit the gym. Maybe you’ve been doing the same exercise routine as long as you can remember—if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it, right? The truth is that exercise routines have expiration dates, and that is the date that they begin t

  In order to have your best body in good health, you must eat healthy. Unfortunately for most,  healthy eating  is a confusing concept. There’s so much contradicting information out there about what is or isn’t healthy that even the most well informed dieter becomes overwhelmed. Should you eat a grain free diet? What about dairy? Is it OK to include fruit? What about rice? How about these granola bars that are labeled as heart healthy? It’s enough to drive you crazy! The most common reaction to this confusion is to give up. Why continue to strive for a healthy diet when a granola bar that’s mostly made with refined sugar is marketed as healthy? I’m going to clear up some of the confusion for you with this very simple, very effective healthy eating tip: Eat low sugar. By eating low sugar I mean check the sugar grams on each thing that you eat throughout the day, and only eat items that contain low single digit or zero sugar grams. This single strategy w

  There's no denying that the holidays have arrived.  Lights have been strung, gifts are being wrapped and holiday treats are everywhere.  It's no secret that most people gain 5 to 10 pounds over the next month. With all the parties, special meals and edible gifts, weight gain is pretty much inevitable...right?  Not so fast.  I've come up with a survival strategy to keep holiday pounds from making a permanent home on your hips.  This strategy is very simple. I'm not expecting you to have the time to log all your calories or eat every meal at home. We are going to be realistic...  Golden Tip to Avoid Holiday Pounds: Spend the next 4 weeks eating like a caveman, with 2 daily exceptions.  Here's why : Holiday pounds are caused by eating too many foods that are high in carbohydrates and simple sugars.  You can avoid all that by sticking with an eating plan created by our pre-historic ancestors, while still keeping things fun by allowing for 2 small daily exceptions.  Th
