Happy Turkey Day

To Lose Fat !!!!  this bears repeating

If we want to lose fat we need to expend at least a little more calories than we consume everyday.

If the lack of calories is too great and we burn a lot more calories than we consume, then the body kicks into survival mode and prepares for that kind of starvation again by saving calories and storing extra fat the next chance it gets.

“Slow, but steady” may win the race, but slow and steady will lose the weight.

To lose weight we burn more than we consume. 

There are two ways to make that happen.  One way is to consume less with a sensible reducing diet.  The other way is adding a safe cardio workout to our routine, burning more calories.  Cardio exercise can even burn fat while we work out, if we train for the right duration at the right intensity.  Read these articles about training zones, cardio exercise, and fat-burning for additional information.

You should consult your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise program. 

If you are cleared for exercise, then refer to a qualified trainer to work with you in designing a custom program.
