energy flows where attention goes...

Spartan Training energy flows where attention goes...
are you like most people today...dealing with weight issues...the years go by and the pounds slowly build up...you look in the mirror...less and less because you don't like what you see...yet you feel there is nothing you can do about it...

the internal dialog might go something like this...
i've gained too much weight to ever get back in shape...
i'm too old to start now...
even if i did start now...
i wouldn't even know where to begin...
if you are like most people...you quit before you ever get started...and weight loss becomes a huge obstacle...it almost seems like it would be easier to climb mt. everest than lose weight...the imagined difficulty of losing weight...paralyzes you...and you just give up...

i always say...weight loss starts...in the moment you decide to take that first step and begin the assent up mt. everest...one step at a time...done consistently and you will conquer that mountain of fat...one pound of fat per week...done consistently and you will reach the summit before you know it...

3500 calories= one pound of fat...
a typical fat loss nutrition plan will range between 1200 to 1500 calories...an average untrained overweight individual has an resting metabolic rate somewhere between 1200 to 1500 calories...
a typical one hour resistance training program burn 500 to 600 calories...followed with 30 minutes of cardio in the fat burn zone and another 300 calories...plus daily activities another 300 calories...this create a 700 to 1000 caloric deficit...
which means...you are burning up more calories than you are taking in...forcing the body to learn how to burn fat effectively and efficiently...and so you slowly begin to burn more fat...one pound of fat=3500 calories...

weight loss may seem like a mountain...but with each step you take toward weight loss...you are one more step closer to a healthier you...
