FAQ’s
I have a goal of losing 20 pounds and so far I have lost 10. I seem to have hit a wall and the weight has stopped coming off. What should I do?
Well, if you are losing weight, then your nutrition is probably really good. What needs to change is your cardio and weight training. Our bodies adapt to the stresses placed on it, so that is a good possibility of why you hit a plateau. If your body has adapted to your training, surprise it. Try doing some interval training for your cardio and mix up your weight training routine.
Do diets really work?
Diets are a short term answer to a long term problem. The only diet that really works is a lifestyle change. Try making subtle adjustments to your nutrition so your body and mind can adapt. Keep making the changes until you have a healthy diet everyday…not just for the next couple weeks.
When should I weigh myself?
You should weigh yourself in the morning. That is the time of day you will get the most accurate number. The most important thing is weighing yourself at the same time of each weighing day.
I got really tired and light headed right when I started working out, what’s going on there?
One possibility is you have low blood sugar. If you haven’t eaten within an hour of working out, your body doesn’t have the fuel to perform. Try eating a balanced healthy meal an hour before working out.
Is running on a treadmill the same as running outside?
It is a good alternative, but it is not the same. Treadmills are moving so it is actually helping you along. Most people can run faster on a treadmill than they can on the ground. You will also burn a bit more calories on the ground than on the treadmill.
