Avoid the Top 5 Fitness Failures!

1. Don't neglect strength training just because you're a cardio buff. More lean muscle mass gained from weight lifting burns more calories.

2. Don't hold your breath when lifting weights. It could strain your heart. Inhale as you release weight and exhale as you push out.

3. Don't worry about bulking up. Women don't produce enough testosterone to bulk up. Weight training will simply sculpt your body and boost your metabolism.

4. Don't pig out just because you're exercising. Exercise can increase your appetite, but don't let it give you a false sense of being able to chow down.

5. Don't hesitate to hydrate. Proper hydration can both increase your energy and help reduce your appetite. Don't mistake thirst for hunger!

Lose FAT Not Muscles

Your overall body image and the way you feel about yourself, will improve dramatically as you firm up and tone up. Certainly, if you have lost 20 pounds you will feel pretty good about yourself. But, how do you feel about yourself when you see your body in the mirror? Maybe not as good as you had hoped. That’s because your skin is loose, your muscles aren’t toned, and you don’t have the body you had dreamed of even if you achieved the weight you wanted. Working out and toning up is the only way to achieve that smooth skin and tight muscles you dream of.

Many people diet and then find out that they still have not achieved their goal image even upon losing the weight and then are discouraged when they have to start an exercise program. Avoid this situation all together and include a healthy diet and workout plan in your new lifestyle. You will lose weight and tone up simultaneously giving you the body you had hoped for. And remember that losing weight does not necessarily means losing fat. Unavoidably, dieting without exercising can lead to muscle loss and decreased overall metabolism, making it worst for you to look and feel better.

Because the part of the brain called prefrontal cortex is the same part of the brain that records our working memory and is in charge of willpower, Researchers showed that when the brain is overwhelmed with tasks willpower is very weak. The solution is, as I mention in my book, Mind Over Body: The Key To Lasting Weight Loss Is All In Your Brain, is not hammering people with new habits but helping them bulk-up their willpower muscles by making them consciously aware of certain changes that need to take place before any physical habits are set in motion. For the past ten years I have taught this process based on my own experience as a professional athlete and the experience of thousands of my clients. I am glad that researchers finally are catching up to what I’ve stumbled upon years ago.
