Whats Right, Whats Wrong?

Many in this industry want to tell you what is right and what is wrong, what is good for you and what is bad for you.  my goal is to inspire people to move, do what feels right for you.  so if it’s yoga, pilates, “functional training”, traditional lifting, cardio, swimming.  WHATEVER, Nike had it right when they said just do it!

We are talking about a scientific phenomenon of calories in and calories out.  As long as you are burning the calories you need (if that’s your goal) then it is right and “good” for you.

Your workouts should be goal specific.  For example if you want to loose weight, but all you do is Yoga, it would probably take you 6 times the amount of time to do it that way then to incorporate weights and cardio with your workouts

Be careful with too much cardio as that can also inhibit fat loss efforts.  Too much cardio can sacrifice lean tissue, thus lowering your metabolic capacity.  Your muscles are like the engine of a car, to burn more fuel (fat) it takes a more efficient engine.  Would you rather have a v4 or a v10 engine to burn fat?

That being said, be safe, consult with professionals you trust and just GET IT DONE!
