The best way to reach a fitness goal.

When it comes to physical training, its always best to start off with a SPECIFIC GOAL in mind. Some of the more common goals that I train individuals for are: 
  • cardiovascular endurance (running/walking longer)
  • fat loss (tightening/toning up excess body fat)
  • muscle endurance (the ability to use muscles for longer periods)
  • muscle strength  (the ability to lift more weight)
  • core strength (stronger mid-section)
  • and flexibility (the ability to move muscles through a greater range of motion)
Setting a fitness goal can only be determined by the individual. Only YOU know what you want to achieve from all your exercise efforts. Before you even start working out.......its best to already KNOW what you want to ACCOMPLISH....then choose the appropriate DIET and EXERCISE methods that line up with your goals.

For example, say your GOAL is to tighten up your waistline:

1. First, you have to choose the proper diet. When it comes to losing fat and trimming the waistline, you have to "eat like you want to lose fat". In other words, take it easy on the sugar, breads, and fats.
    2. Next, you have to choose the type of training that will help you lose the most fat. Cardio exercises such as (walking, running, elliptical) and weight lifting are the best methods too lose fat and keep it off.

    *****Accomplishing a goal is that simple. Know what you want, then choose the best methods to get it done.
