Why does it get harder to lose weight as we get older?!

The answer is Muscle Loss- (Check the picture)
Muscle loss is the cause of weight gain…muscle is actually the tissue of longevity. Muscle is not just used for movement it also is the foundation to your metabolism. Muscle also acts to regulate how you’re body digests carbs and fats. Muscle and metabolism go hand in hand! The stronger and healthier your muscles are the more carbs and fats your body will burn. 
So losing muscle is a bad thing not only for the way we look but for our health long term!
Here are the warning signs you are probably losing muscle:
Warning Sign 1: You are noticing weight gain in areas you didn’t before
Warning Sign 2: You feel weak and have no energy to get thru the day
Warning Sign 3: Your body has lost shape and you feel more saggy and flabby
Lots of our clients suffer from muscle loss. Especially once you get over 35 years old. Here is our top 2 strategies we implement to fight muscle loss
Fight Muscle Loss Tip 1: Increase your protein intake- Aim for 1-2 palmfuls of lean protein 4-5xs a day. Protein provides your body with the building blocks for metabolism function and regulations of all tissues and organs in your body
Fight Muscle Loss Tip 2: Do Full Body Strength Sessions 2-4xs a week- Nothing prevents muscle loss than actively lifting weights. Even if you have injuries you can still work around them to retain muscle and get better with age. Strength training breaks down old and weak tissue and rebuilds back new and stronger muscles. So not only do you get stronger but you get toner!
The more cardio and fad diets you do the more muscle you actually end up losing. The more muscle you lose the harder and harder it is to gain it back. This also leads to a slower metabolism overall which will cause you to gain more body fat and health issues moving forward.
Implement these 2 tips today and STOP losing muscle!

I dont have time to workout

“People say that motivation doesn’t last.  Well neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily!” - Zig Ziglar
Motivation is powerful and but as the hilarious quote says - it doesn’t last.
When motivation lags you need good old fashioned, butt kicking self-discipline to keep yourself on track.
(If your self-discipline is lagging I’ve got a few tips later that will help).
Self-discipline is about knowing what you have to do and doing it even when you don’t want to. (read that line again and again to yourself)
Like going to the gym when you’re tired.

It’s about gritting you teeth and following your nutrition plan – even if you don’t want to.
​If that sounds like hard work then let me throw another quote at you...
“Do something today that you’re future self will thank you for"
I don’t know who said that but it motivates me.
And it helps me be more disciplined.
What we do or don’t do today won’t change the here and now much but it will change what happens to us tomorrow, the day after and the day after.
It’s about doing things consistently, even when you don’t want to.
Like saving money today for the house you’ll buy tomorrow.
It’s like the medical student studying until 4am because when they pass the exams to achieve their dream and become a doctor.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
If that resonates with you and if you’re serious about making REAL changes in your life then I strongly recommend you DO these three things.
The first is to set a goal. 
You need to know where you’re going and you need to be able to measure how close you are to your goal.
Take measurements, keep score and review these weekly. 
Second, find an accountability partner someone you can rely on and share the journey with.
The positive pressure of having someone can drastically increase your chance of success.
What you do need is someone who’s going to make sure you’re doing the work, supporting you when you need support and shouting at you when you need to be shouted at. (this is why accountability coaching is such a big part of our program)
Last but not least - be accountable to a group.
Just look at the success and popularity of our personal training program
Its not just an exercise class; they’re getting individual attention but also have camaraderie and are working towards a common goal. Imagine working out with people just like you…seeing a women in her 50s doing something that she couldnt do 3 weeks earlier is so motivating!
In the group you push yourself more so you’re not the weakest link and you push yourself to make sure to keep pace with everyone else (and to keep our trainers happy).
Strange as it may seem - we’re social beings and working in a group triggers our basic instinct to fit in. And results show that!
Let me summarize this for you:
Write down your goals
Be accountable to yourself.
Find an accountability partner.
Join our personal training program
It’s all simple stuff (like the best advice always is).
