Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

  We are living in a have-it-all, have-it-now world. Access to anything you desire is literally a keystroke away. There’s one-click ordering. There’s food delivery in 30 minutes or less. There’s credit available with the swipe of a card. More so than any time in history, we have forgotten the art of sacrifice. Can you blame us? Mainstream marketing tells us hundreds of times each day that we should have it all, and that we should have it right now. The problem with this have-it-all-right-now mindset is that real accomplishments require sacrifice and delayed gratification. And these real accomplishments are where true satisfaction is found. Think about it for a moment. When was the last time that you felt proud of something that you’ve done? I doubt that it was for the shoe purchase that you just one-click ordered online :) More likely it was for a big project that you tackled at work, or a meal that you cooked for your family, or an 8K (or marathon!) that you finished. Those pro

  When people join our program, we ask them a question… "What is your biggest struggle when it comes to weight loss?” ​ 75% of the time the answer is CONSISTENCY . 🗝 I hear👂it again and again... ​ "I just need to be MORE consistent!" ​ When people try to lose weight, we OFTEN see them trying really hard… 🥵 …at being consistent with the WRONG stuff. 😬 👉They try being consistent with eliminating carbs. 👉They try being consistent with eliminating meals (but call it intermittent fasting). 👉They try being consistent with eating very few calories. 👉They try being consistent with doing cardio or walking every day. .... And when they fail at being consistent, they think "I just need to be MORE consistent". Sound familiar?🤨 You might THINK you have a consistency problem. In reality you’re simply trying to be consistent with the wrong stuff . Let’s start focusing on the stuff that matters. 🧐 What if you were consistent with exercising 3x per week ?

  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
