Sleep

Did you know you're at risk for weight gain if you're sleeping less than 7-8 hours a night? Sleep loss can increase hunger for more calorie dense, high carbohydrate foods. Ghrelin, Cortisol and Leptin are hormones that get disrupted from lack of sleep, and cause an increase appetite & promote fat storage. Sleep is very important to your overall health & wellness. Make it a priority to get to bed early!

Interval Training

Did you know interval training is one of the best ways to burn fat & improve your overall cardiovascular fitness? More studies are confirming this and athletes have know about it for decades. Short bursts of high-intensity exercise, followed by easy recovery, once or twice a week, will dramatically improve your endurance and your body's fat burning abilities. If you are a jogger, try adding 5-6, 30 second sprints on your next run. If you are a walker, try 30 seconds of super fast power walking or jogging, 5 or 6 times during your walk. Allow yourself time to catch your breath & recover before each set of intervals. After several weeks of interval training you'll end up burning more fat in your continuous cardio workouts and you'll improve your heart & lung capacity!
