Get Your Heart Pumping For Real!!

When you work your body out you definitely want results, otherwise fitness can be pretty heartbreaking.  You want to be truthful about your fitness journey and one area we lie to ourselves all of the time is the area of the actual workout itself.  We say, "I am pushing myself." or "That was a hard workout" or "Im sweating alot" . . . however if the results aren't happening in the form of weight loss then that is the BIG CLUE that you are lieing to yourself either about the food you are eating or the workout.  Let's say you are eating properly (every 3 hrs, 250-300 cal, of a carb fat and protein). However, you are not getting your heart rate into the fat burning zone, much less keeping it there for at least 30 minutes.  There are several types of zones.  Ranging from Moderate Activity (warm up) to VO2 (maximum effort athletic training) and somewhere in the middle is Weight Control (fitness and fat burning).  For weight loss you want your heart to remain in the Weight Control or Fat Burning zone for at least 30 minutes 5-6 days a week.
