Exercise & Diet...

STRENGTH TRAINING IS THE WAY FORWARD!!

You may not believe it but strength training is the best tool too loosing those extra lb’s…

It’s often thought of as a toning exercise but infact its a fantastic fat burner.

The majority of the calories you burn throughout the day are used to support your body and its functions, such as digestion. Highly active tissue such as muscle requires more fuel than fat, which means the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn at rest.

Each pound of muscle burns 35 calories a day -- this might not sound like a lot but if you have several pounds of muscle, you could increase the calories you burn daily by the hundreds just by being more muscular. strength training two to three times a week for about 30 minutes. Examples include using free weights and doing pushups, squats and lunges.

Ok... i have a tip for the diet part of this post.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT!! just make it healthy! If you want do eat a burger, then eat one! just make it home made and healthy.
Instead of frying it put it in the oven.
Instead of bread, wrap it in lettuce, or use whole grain bread.
Instead of deepfried chips (fries) par boil in slightly salted water untill the potato is tacky (thats the starch) but not cooked take out of the water and put in the oven and use oil spray instead of lashings of oil.
Make your own ketchup!!
instead of fizzy drinks try a smoothie or even no-added sugar diluted juice...

ul be suprised how much calories you will save just making tiny changes, And you never know... healthy might taste better ;D

Soon il be putting some recipes up :) xxx
