The 3 real reasons you’re still out of shape.
Posted on 10/11/2011 by keinanbriggs

I am going to be blunt and straight forward with you all. If you are an emotional person and get offended easily please stop reading this blog; time for some tough love.

Number 3: Your eating habits are lazy!

Convenience is why we are lazy and fat. Throw away your microwave and start eating foods that are packaged and/or bagged at the grocery store. Stop buying foods in boxes and learn about the best foods for your health. Eliminating foods proteins, carbs, or fats out of your intake are hazardous. Getting in shape is not a “quick fix”. “Research has shown 95% of those who lose weight eventually gain it back…” so get in shape the right way. (Chasefreedom.com)

Number 2: You don’t now a lick about how to properly workout!

Let me ask you, how many hours have you spent in a kinesiology class and/or spent getting a fitness training certification? If your answer is little to none, you can’t expect to succeed. I am sure you wouldn’t take an exam without studying and expect a high grade, right? Cardio and weight training are a must. Weights do not build muscle, weights break down muscle. Do not expect to drop any more than 1 to 2 lbs a week. You are looking 10 weeks to drop 20 lbs and best.

Number 1: Media is creating a false reality.

The biggest loser, Lindora, and the lap band, all are examples of a false reality. The biggest loser is a great show and does help people in need, I will give the show that. What we don’t see off camera is that they are working out 24/7 with their personal trainer and eating foods prepared by a nutritional expert. Their world is fitness, no kids, work, low levels of outside stress, etc. Lindora does not incorporate resistance training, therefore you will have a difficult time “toning”. The lap band is, (in my mind) a cop out. Many people have tried every diet in the book, had personal trainers, and did everything they could think of but failed. Yes, you lose weight with the surgery and a lot of it, but an unhealthy heart and unhealthy heart skinny or fat.

I understand I have said some offensive comments and may have offended some, feel free to leave me comments if needed at www.coachk.webs.com and speak your mind. These are my personal opinions that I feel strongly about
