A healthy goal would be 1-2lbs per week, and 4-8lbs per month. We are all different so some people may lose weight faster than others, which is why it is important to build muscle. Muscle burns calories at rest, so if you build 10lbs of muscle that burns 500 calories at rest. With building 10lbs of muscle your body will burn an extra 3,500 calories at rest a week which equals 1lb!!! The goal is to lose fat and build muscle in order to speed up your metabolism.
Get Up And GLO clients are constantly encouraged and guided to create a healthy lifestyle NOT diet!!! Eating healthy on the go can be a challenge, which is why nutrition advice is included in every program! It is important that you understand what works best for your body and what foods to combine and when to eat throughout the day. You generally want to combine carbs and proteins with each meal and combine fats with protein and vegetables. It is important that we nourish the body with nutritious whole foods!
It is important that we remember the key to successfully losing weight and keeping it off is 1. nutrition 2. cardio 3. strength training!!! Yes, strength training should be apart of your routine to lose weight. We want to do cardio to burn calories and strength train to build muscle and speed up your metabolism.
Building strength can be done by weight training and also through calisthenics. When working on building strength each targeted muscle group must be fatigued and then it is best to give it time to recover. Strength training requires you to give each muscle group rest and food in order to recover and target it harder the next session!
Our bodies are very smart and it is imperative that you switch up your routine in order to see results! Get Up and Glo clients are constantly being challenged each session because it is important that you reach your goals in your results based program! There are a variety of tools that are used in each session in order to switch up your routine such as: drop sets, super sets, negatives, range of motion, new exercises, and tempo change.
