Self   Ignite  Fitness

 

Personal training at locations throughout the Washington, DC area

In your line of work or study, you know that working long and hard and working smart are two entirely different things. This same truth applies to your body. You may have worked hard at taking care of yourself in the past – counting calories, dieting, diligently jogging or biking for hours every week. Doing this, you may have seen some results. You may not have. You may have initially seen results and then watched them disappear, even as you worked harder and harder to discipline yourself.

Whatever your case, what I want to show you that dieting and aerobic exercise are counterproductive to the goal of fat loss. In fact, in the long term, engaging in these behaviors will actually slow down and sometimes even damage your metabolism, all while encouraging your body to store as much fat as possible and burn muscle for fuel.

That's right: working hard at dieting and aerobic exercise will actually work against your goal of getting lean and looking great, and no matter what, they will eventually backfire on you.

Yes, I know it's hard to believe, and probably goes against everything you've ever been taught about exercise and nutrition. But if you've ever been told that fat loss comes from following a low-calorie, low-fat diet while eating less and exercising more, or that the path to good abs and a flat stomach involves many (or even any) crunches, you've been misled. The real science behind effective exercise and proper nutrition tells a much different story than our country's big health organizations, food manufacturers, and fitness gurus would have you believe.

Give me a fraction of the time and effort that you've devoted in the past to dieting and aerobic exercise, and I will help you, within a matter of mere weeks, achieve real, lasting, and permanent results. Let me show how eating lots of delicious foods every day can actually help you achieve your goals. And let me teach you how to use the time you spend at the gym – whether it's 60 minutes or six hours per week – to work smart, not hard, towards achieving your fitness goals.
