Danville Personal Trainer Jay Corbett’s Top Fat-Burning Tips
How many diets have you been on?
What types of things come to mind when you think of the word diet? Thats right, I know you’re thinking the right things. That’s exactly what I think of as well when I think of dieting.
All the diet infomercials, books, and oh, the no-this diet, the all-that diet, the little-bit-of-this-little bit-o-that diet, the don’t-change-a-thing diet. You know what I’m talking about, right.
I could go on and on but you know all that stuff and I would feel bad for making you bored outta your gourd!
As a Personal Trainer In Danville, CA I always suggest that my clients start small. For example if you usually drink 2 cans of soda every day ,and you stop that, just that one small change in behavior every day, you will have lost about 32 pounds in one year!!! Little change big result.
Then if your training with me I have you add in an extra 30 minutes of physical activity just 4 days a week, that will burn roughly 200 calories each time(very low estimate) BAM! That’s 12 more pounds Ginger! I had one guy who had he said Krispy Creme glazed donuts 3 times a week at work…I know it was more like 5 times!!!… made him decide to give it up for healthier fruits BAM that’s 11 pounds pounds of your ass.
Do you see this yet…these are just simple little actions that you can begin to take throughout each day to make big changes over the long run. A great way to lose tons of weight( I use weight to mean excess body fat-not muscle) is to just drink water all day. No snapples, sodas, latte, just good old not man made WATER. Let me reiterate, instead of any other beverages, drink water…yes Cleo sparkling water is fine without sugar of high fructose corn syrup.
Now not only will you get the extra benefit of hydration, but you will not be storing the extra calories from soda’s or fruit juices as lard on your ass or mid section. How about giving up milk. I know your thinking now you’ve gone to far…and your right….but it doesn’t change the fact that after a few months of no milk will you feel better and weight less but old bessy will have more milk for some other fat ass. Seriously while that may not be for some of you, it’s just an idea of how simple taking away a few calories here and some extra calories there can be.
I always suggest we take the long haul into account and not rush things.Because Milo if you just took one year, and plan week by week, and start to improve your nutrition and fitness, by the end of 12 months, I can almost guarantee you will see positive lasting results, just from simple daily shifts in your behavior.
Listen to me very carefully when I tell you losing weight and getting fit doesn’t have to be a pain in the ass or maniacally challenging in any sense of the word. Weight loss is a result of a specific lifestyle(consistent behaviors).
Remember anyone that promises a quick fix, is flat out bending you over without lube, and if you believe them well you deserve a sore ass. Quick fix means short term results maybe but at the cost of well… gaining all the weight back in a short period of time and more. It all comes back to what your lifestyle is, this the determining factor in what your weight will be and how fit you look.
An example, I use to train the head nurse of a prominent plastic surgeon here in Danville and she would tell me that they would see the same people time and time again for the same procedure!!! Yikes! I don’t know about you but for the cost and discomfort fitness is a lot cheaper and less painful. Ultimately they got their quick fix but in the end there lifestyle puts it back on.
