Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

  There are SO MANY myths about weight loss. I’ve heard them all. There’s the myth about ab crunches melting off belly fat. (Sorry folks, spot reduction doesn’t exist. You’ve got to burn the fat from your body as a whole.) Then there’s the one that says the faster you do an exercise the better, even at the expense of form. (Ouch. This philosophy has caused many injuries. Never sacrifice form for speed.) I’ve even heard one that says recovery days are not necessary. (Rest days are actually of vital importance to your recovery and weight loss.) But of all the fitness myths out there, the one that gets under my skin the most is the belief that fat loss comes as a result of long, slow cardio sessions. Hours and hours of running, biking, hiking, or swimming. I’ve seen many people waste their time and effort on this one. The truth is that intense, shorter workouts that incorporate resistance training with challenging bouts of cardio will burn fat quicker than a long, steady cardio session. W

  There is one reason why most people haven’t yet reached their goals, and it’s a simple one. It’s something that I’ve struggled in the past, and it just may be the one thing that’s holding you back from your big breakthrough. That one thing is consistency. Think about it. The difference that separates a fitness star from a couch potato is the consistency with which the former applies to their diet and exercise routine. That’s it! Look, I know you can exercise and eat right. You’ve done it before! But a fitness plan only works when you consistently stay with it. You start, stop, start again, take a few days off, then get back on track. This haphazard effort will never lead to a dramatic body transformation! What if I told you that you’re 5 feet from gold? That if you simply dug in a little deeper, and stuck with the program with consistency, you’d finally achieve the big results that you’ve been hoping for all along. You are 5 feet from gold; don’t stop now! The fact is that anyone can

  A lot of people have been asking me lately… “How do I stay on track?” “What’s the secret to keep seeing results?” This time of year, one of two things tend to happen: You’ve been doing well with your routine, but your results are starting to plateau. Or… You’re struggling to stay on track if you haven’t fallen off already. So here is my BEST tip… You MUST get a minimum of 3 workouts per week in. Now before you blow off this tip, let me explain! Everything snowballs from 3 workouts per week. When you work out 3x per week a few things happen: You want to eat better because you worked out. You sleep better. You have more energy. You FEEL better. You are more motivated. You want to keep working out. Now you aren’t always going to feel like working out, but I promise you won’t regret it. So, pull up your calendar right now and create an event for each of your workouts this week and moving forwards. You’ve got this! 💪 Dedicated to your success, Brian P.S Whenever you are ready we ar
