Fitness Questions Answered
This site has been a labor of love for me over the many years that I’ve been an Austin personal trainer. I update the blog every 4th day, usually, and write a lot of essays as well. In either format, I address one subject and support my views with facts, science, and my considerable experience. In this blog entry, however, I wanted to change the format a little, into a synopsis that would have a bunch of fitness questions answered.
I have addressed many fitness myths over the years, from stereotypical personal trainers, down to cleanses. In a nutshell, neither is healthy for you, and they both could potentially be harmful to your health as well. An improperly educated trainer is not going to be able to recognize what is best for your individual needs. Instead, they stick with the ineffective cliché formulas of years past for maximum heart rate, nutrition, supplements, etc. Some people will find benefit, but most won’t, unfortunately. Sticking with fitness questions answered, cleanses are a lousy idea. Your body, when properly hydrated, rested, and fed, will cleanse itself just fine. In fact, is been designed to do just that. If you think mixing cayenne pepper, with maple syrup, and some lemons in a jug of water to be your sole sustainment for any appreciable time is a good idea, then you deserve to feel bad. Omitting nutrients from your diet is a shortsighted recipe for disaster. Rest well, eat well, and drink enough water, and you’ll be squeaky clean on the inside.
Moving along to some more fitness questions answered. If you’re looking to lose weight, it’s completely useless to do cardiovascular exercise after you’ve recently eaten. You’ll be burning the food for fuel as opposed to your body’s fat reserve, and the end result, is you aren’t losing weight. Consistently do your cardio on an empty stomach, and drink plenty of water if you want to lose weight.
Other fitness questions answered within this site includes the age old question of how many reps should you perform in order to build muscle. The answer lies in variety. Build both your fast, as well as your slow twitch muscle fibers, instead of just focusing on one or the other, and you’ll not only be more muscular, but stronger, and better performing too.
There’s a whole host of other fitness questions answered, and in much greater detail throughout this site. Do a search for specific fitness questions answered, or simply contact me directly, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
