RELAX


Along with nutrition and exercise, sleep is one of the most important factors in maintaining good health—and a lack of sleep can cause a host of problems, both in the short term and over time. getting sufficient sleep, will in fact improve your overall health.

A big part of your fitness goal relies allot on the much needed sleep, in order for your body to function properly. Unfortunately allot of people take this aspect of there fitness goal for granted, allot of my clients say they're only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night, to where I've also interviewed a few clients where they only get 2-4 hours of solid shut eye. The clients I've interviewed that get the full amount of sleep end up getting a more productive workout and meet there fitness goals more efficiently than the other clientele.

There is an average of 70 million Americans unable to get full nights sleep which can be easily fixed through an exercise program. An exercise program will not only help you sleep better but will also help you be more effective and alert during the day. All things work together for the good, if you have a great nutrition plan and Exercise routine, most likely your going to have a great night sleep as well!

While sleeping your body goes into what's called a metabolic state, during this state (with a proper amount of protein throughout the day) your muscle fibers that are once torn apart through exercise are repairing. Lack of sleep will but a damper on a speedy recovery and on your fitness goals.

Make sure that your giving your body 8-10 hours of sleep a night and if possible a 15-20 minutes nap during the day for an enhanced recovery.

Remember Nutrition, Exercise and Rest all fall under the same category for your fitness goal, so make sure your giving at least 90% on all aspects of training.

How To Get a Better Fat Burn

What are the different results between Weight/Resistance training and Cardiovascular training, and which one gives the best results?

This is a question that has been arising for the last couple of weeks, and has been a top subject in the fitness world.

Weight training delivers tone and strength to the muscle, but also produces sustained fat burn do to vascular flow through out the muscle tissue.

Cardiovascular training focuses on the endurance of your muscle as well as a high intensity fat burn do to an elevated VO2 max. (higher HR) You want to make sure to keep your VO2 max in a 60-80% range to promote a perfect fat burn while preserving the lean muscle mass, anything over 80% VO2 max will in fact burn more of the muscle and less of that not so needed fatty tissue.

looking at it this way, my final answer is they both work together to get you to your fitness goal!
Keep in mind: nutrition, Cardiovascular and Weight/Resistance training all work together!
complete all three correctly and consistently and you'll get to your fitness goal no problem.
