commit 6wks – join a gym, boot camp, hire a trainer or grab a friend, it doesn’t matter how you commit but give your body type 6 full weeks to adapt to the changes you have made. The body works in 4-6wks increments so be PATIENT

What form of exercise do you enjoy the most?
Does this exercise increase your “efficiency” to burn carbohydrates and fat over time?
Do you eat more calories (fruits&vegs) now than before and still lose body fat?
Does the exercise you enjoy most make you see a difference in your metabolism?
Exercise is can be any structured physical activity.
You don’t need a 12 – month gym membership for that.
Go out and do something FUN!!

GT Get Fit Tip: How Do I Lose This Baby Weight?
Image by bespoke via Flickr
After 9 months of carrying a baby things will take time to get back to normal. It takes about 4 weeks for the uterus to shrink back to normal size while losing 8-20lbs of extra fluid. Once the fluid is gone, whats left is the extra FAT gained during pregnancy.
Trying to get back to the gym can sound like a good idea but things are hectic with newborns; time constraints, crazy schedule, guilt and mood swings can all make it difficult to make workouts.
Don’t sweat it, keep it simple and focus on what’s important like nutrition, your baby, and rest. Find a support group of like-minded people (neighbors, church, friends) to get ideas and help from, you’ll be surprised how creative other moms can become with little children. If you can’t dedicate a trip to the gym, think about splitting workouts up into small segments of time, 10mins is better than a big O!!
Don’t get overwhelmed and worried about a few extra pounds of fat, keep things simple and relax, you have just brought a new living being into this world and now is the time to enjoy what you have created.
If you do need extra support or workout ideas please let me know, I have an infant/crawler workout for moms called BABY WEIGHTS I would love for you to join us.

The type of training you do at the gym and how you feed yourself throughout the day may be keeping you from achieving desired results.
Knowing the science behind your body type can save you many hours in the gym and more time outside doing things you enjoy.

GT Get Fit Tip: Gym “memberships”
When people pay a monthly fee to join a gym you pay the owner to provide you a PLACE to workout. When “gyms” compete for the lowest price ($15 month) the patron loses because the gym is racing to the bottom to provide a minimum service (open 24hrs -no supervision)
When you workout at a personal trainers studio you pay the personal trainer to provide you the WORKOUT because honestly you don’t a need a gym, you need the workout!!
The results will prove themselves, that you can take to the bank or save it for a rainy day!!

The “SKINNY” on Working Out #gettoned
Not everybody dreads a “workout”, for whom the bells toll working out is a must.
Problem is when you go to a health club most the people working out and enjoying it are already FIT, it’s the ones that have no idea WTF is going on that have a problem. 
If you workout or “belong” to a gym, then you see people doing the same thing over and over again. They never get the results they want because they are not making the best of their workout time.
If you are stuck on weight or FAT LOSS then listen up, make sure you understand this to GET TONED!!
F. I. T.
F-requency – how many days a week you workout
I- ntensity – how hard you work or how many calories you burn in a training session
T- ime – how long each training session lasts
Most gym goers last about 4-6wks, or until their body adjusts to their diet and workout routine. When the body gets used to what you’re doing then you will decrease maximum benefits. Your workouts become less effective.
Most weight loss occurs in the beginning especially if you have detoxed your body from unwanted Carbohydrates and lost water retention.
If you want to get FIT then you have to manipulate F.I.T. so your workouts stay popping and fresh. If your stuck or bored with your current routine then let me know, I got a 2-day and 3-day a week programs going on where you just show up and do the workout I already made. GET TONED!!!
