The Three Building Blocks of Fitness

The three building blocks of fitness are nutrition, cardiovascular exercise, and strength training.

Many weight loss programs concentrate on one area to the exclusion of the others. In order to lose body-fat and keep it off, you'll need to pay attention to all three components. Here is a brief description of each fitness building block that will be addressed during your sessions:

Nutrition:

It is crucial to eat the right number of calories for your body as well as to get the right amount of fiber. This will result in fast and safe weight loss.  You may have noticed that weight-loss books tend to suggest a certain number of calories for everyone.  This doesn't make sense, because every person is unique and has distinct nutrition needs.  This site will calculate your goal calories to assure that you get the right number of calories for you.  You will also be able to educate yourself on many of the secrets to good nutrition while browsing the site. 

Cardiovascular exercise:

Cardiovascular exercise gives your heart a workout. This will cause you to burn fat while you exercise, as well as up to 4 hours following the workout.  Your online personal trainer will help you keep track of your cardio exercise.  You can also learn about ways to increase your overall activity and burn more calories each day. 

Strength Training:

Otherwise known as weightlifting, this type of exercise burns fat while you work out, as well as for up to 3 days following the workout. It is a very important tool for fat loss.  If you exercise smart, your strength training can help you to burn calories while you sleep!  Your online personal trainer will help you to have effective workouts, not necessarily long workouts.  You will be given two new exercises each day, with instructions and photos to help you do them correctly.  Why different exercises each day?  Variety not only keeps you from getting bored, it keeps your muscles from "getting bored."  When you do the same strength exercises over and over, your muscles become efficient.  This means that you don't burn as much fat.  Your virtual trainer will help you to get great fat-burning results in just minutes per day!
