THIS IS A MUST READ AND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS...HEALTH IS THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH!!! I will say it for the last time.. Stop spending hours and hours on the Treadmill for weight loss, when doing long distance training your building up lots of Oxadative stress which your body has to combat. This ages you at the Cellular level. The key to anti-anging is fixing the Cell. Controlling the inflammation and stress, long distance training increases Oxidative stress, if goes chronic your aging your body faster. The body is made to exercise in High Intensity burst. So when you go long and slow, the hormones that are involved in weight loss and anti-aging go in the wrong direction, so when you go on the treadmill for an hour your lowing your growth hormone and testosterone for more then a day, 36 hours. The good news when you go short 30-60 seconds of high intense intervals your growth hormones and testosterone elevate for 36 hours. I know we have been told to stay in the fat burning zone, which does burn fat, but study shows you are burning fat. The problem is the next day or too your loosing muscle, lowering your metabolism, lowers growth hormone and test levels. So it does not work for weight loss. So it works against you and ages you prematurely. So look at the opposite High Intensity training, study shows it raises growth hormone for at least 36 hours, cool thing is your burning fat for 30-60 seconds which is stored sugar, so the next 36 hours then your in your fat burning zone. The Benefit is to understand that work smarter not harder. P.S I don't claim to be Mr Know it all but will guarantee you results when you train with BNR Fitness, your paying good money for a good reason.

Time for some Action!!

A CALL TO ACTION: After a morning chat with my coaching staff, I feel that I need to speak out. We were reviewing some of our new members and what their regimens for training and nutrition were, PRIOR to coming to our team, and I must say, as a coach and a WOMAN that I am horrified. There are trainers who actually prescribe things that are SO DANGEROUS! Ladies, you do not have to join my team but you need to LOVE yourself enough to listen to a voice of reason. So let me tell you straight up: 1- Doing cardio for more than an hour a day for months on end will destroy everything you are working so hard for. You will not only lose muscle but you will risk serious harm to things like your adrenals, metabolism etc. Get off the Jane Fonda Bandwagon and lift weights. 2-Fat Burners should be illegal but they aren't. If your trainer has you on them, that means your program isn't working. Your body should burn fat naturally. It can also mean that your trainer doesn't know how to get the fat off of you naturally. Find someone who CAN get it off of you without compromising your health. 3- Eliminating food groups is ignorant. To take away your fruit for weeks means your trainer doesn't know how to fuel your body correctly so instead, they will deprive you. It doesn't work as your body goes into survival mode and YOU suffer. 4- How lean do you really need to be? Can you get leaner than my girls? Sure you can, but that could compromise your health long term. Keeping all food groups in, unless there is a food intolerance or allergy, is 100% possible to compete, do a photo shoot or just a rock a bikini on a beach. 5-If you eat the same thing everyday, your body will stop reacting. 6- Do you have good fat oil everyday? Flax seed? Udo's? I said OIL... not NUTS.. "OIL".. do you? If it isn't on your plan, put it in ASAP 7- If you are having crying fits, lashing out like an episode of bridezilla, or your hair is falling out, then you need to stop what you are doing. Getting into optimal shape is joyful, not a hardship.. Think about what you are doing....the term EXTREME means "too much"-ponder that..

Finding your SLEEP Number!!

About 20 years ago, researchers found that sleep regulates brain function and body temperatureand restores the immune system. The latest figures from the National Sleep foundation show that the average adult in North America gets 6 hours and 57 minutes of sleep per night during the work week, and 7 hours and 31 minutes on weekends. This is not enough sleep according to the organization, which recommends to get 8 hours of sleep per night. What happens when you dont sleep enough? Lack of sleep for a few nights increase braon levels of cortisol, a potentially dangerous stress harmone. High cortisol levels weekend your immune system and contribute to a number of problems- depression, irritability, low energy, muscle loss, and fat storage. Get 10 hours of sleep if you arw a teenager, 9 hours if your an adult. When possible, take a 15min nap in the middle of the afternoon. Now, combine that extra sleep with a 9 day break from training every 6 months, and your recovery ability will finally be strong enough to allow your body to grow.
