I’ve been working with clients as a Personal Trainer for over 20 years now and like most trainers who first start out, all I wanted to do was all the fun fitness exercises and methods. I always knew that diet was an important part of the training equation, but I thought that if I worked my clients hard as I did everything would just fall into place and come together. I thought my seriously intense training programs would be enough on their own to over-ride any nutrition deficits they may have. While at times I was able to have a lot of fun with some clients, and there were definitely some who did achieve great results, I felt I was failing many others for my ignorance to the real issues. I was not helping them to see where their focus needed to be which had nothing to do with fitness. Sure, I wanted them to eat well but my knowledge in helping them was flawed as I was basing everything on the calories in versus calories out equation. I felt well as long as they trained hard we could burn enough calories to counter their poor food choices. I assumed that training alone would be enough. I was wrong.
8 Health Principles You Need If You Want To Lose Weight & Keep It Off For Good
There is so much confusion and conflicting advice surrounding health and fitness these days it is no wonder so many people resort to fad diets and extreme measures to get results. In my recent article about obesity I discussed the fact that there is more information available at the touch of a keyboard, more health therapists, specialists, personal trainers, and people to help people with health than there has ever been in history yet the health of many people is continuing to decline. For over 20 years I have specialized in working with people with injury or disease and helping them to restore their health and vitality to enjoy a life of quality. Over this time I have discovered many new and exciting methods, exercises, and strategies to help people, but the one thing that has never changed during this time is the foundation that good health is built upon.

Why Is The Obesity Crisis Getting Worse For All Age Groups?
There has never been a time in human history where there was more diet books, personal trainers, dieticians, and access to information and resources about how to get in great shape yet the vast majority of the population in the western world is overweight or obese! This trend has been increasing steadily for decades as global obesity rates have almost tripled since 1990, while overweight has increased by almost 50%! When you consider the costs and the links to chronic disease with being overweight or obese you would think that there would be a stronger focus to address this problem. Unfortunately, there is very little focus given to treating the underlying causes of this problem as the medical world is obsessed with finding cures and magic pills. There are obviously a lot of factors to consider as this is a problem much more prevalent in high income countries and something that has been established in the community lifestyle which is one reason why it is hard to break the cycle. I also believe a serious discussion must be had relating to several interesting questions relating to recording statistics of being overweight such as the use of BMI and lastly the value of being overweight and fit, versus being overweight and unfit. In this article, I will discuss these interesting questions and more in great detail and give you something to ponder about your own health.

Some of the long held beliefs relating to this question may be holding you back and in this article I will challenge your current thinking to help you to find what could be the missing ingredient to your quest for great health and fitness.
Focus On the Process Of Getting Into Shape Instead of Your Desired Results
Getting in shape is never easy and in the early stages it may seem like you are getting nowhere. Today’s modern world is moving so fast and technology has allowed us to get things at the click of button that we have come to expect instant gratification in just about everything we do. And when it doesn’t happen people become discouraged very quickly. Most health and fitness experts will tell you the best way to overcome this is to set specific goals you can measure that keep you on track and accountable. For a long time I preached this method too, and while I had some wins with this approach I had many more losses. I came to realize that success has more to do with the process of getting in shape instead of what you wanted. Instead of focusing on the end goal of losing weight or getting fit, I found it was more important to focus on the system you used to get there. In this article I am going to share with you how this change in mind-set can be a complete game changer to the way you approach everything to do with health and fitness.
Best Methods To Improve Your Metabolism And Health
Whenever I discuss the process of weight loss with someone one of the first things that always comes up is the role our metabolism plays. Very few people realize that metabolism has much more to do in the body than affect how much weight you lose or gain. Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. Even when your body is at rest, you are still using energy for basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and repairing cells. The energy your body uses for these basic functions is called your basal metabolic rate. The faster your metabolic rate, the easier it is to burn the foods you eat for energy and maintain a trim physique. There are many factors that contribute to this and in this article we will discuss the various things you can do to either improve your metabolic rate or maintain it as you age.
