Summer workouts

The difference between winter workouts and summer workouts are body fat. In winter it's ok to burn less calories to build some muscle before summer. Once summer comes calorie burning in each workout is key! Summer is prime time for slacking so make sure if you workout 4 times a week or how ever many times that it counts each time! Not just you counting calories make sure the workout burns. This should be a big muscle group day! To maximize calorie burning.

The bigger the muscle the more
It will burn. If you burn a huge amount of calories that's not good either keep the workouts 45 minutes long at most and intense the whole time. The key to burning body fat is consistency the whole time keep the heart rate up!

Back to the routine

I know summer is a hard time of year to keep the routine going. Especially when you have been doing it all year long and all you want to do is relax! I know that old story! Trust me! Haha I took some time off myself and now it is time to get back into the serious mode that we were in a few months ago. The Followers that means you guys/ girls as well!

Were a team and teams feed off one another the advice I give to all my clients for the summer is dedicate a workout partner for the summer months! Most people dont want to go alone when the weather gets nice and if someone will be there pushing you and you pushing them there is usually a better success rate. Once you keep the routine going throughout the larger portion of the summer start playing games with your workout buddy. See who goes more times on their own per week! Compare workouts and see who's is more intense make it a friendly competition!

enjoy the weather everyone

Hydration (Heat Wave)

Hello,

I just got back from vacation today and felt that a post about Heat Stroke/ Heat Exhaustion is in order. In New Jersey, it has been an average of 97 degrees approx for about the last week or so. It is super important to drink water, but equally as important to replenish your electrolytes if you are in the sun. Water alone will not replenish your body your body sweats electrolytes as well as water.

Enjoy the weather everyone!
