Lean Body Buffalo Podcast

When we talk about the benefits of exercise, looking better gets the most attention. Burning off unwanted pounds is a great thing, but let's not overlook a more immediate benefit of exercise. Exercise transforms how you feel—with a quickness. It's true. While weight loss takes time and extended effort, all it takes is one workout to begin reaping the reward of a more energetic and capable body. Here are the top 3 ways that your body will feel better with exercise: 1) You'll Have More Energy How are your energy levels these days? (And I'm talking about natural energy, not energy manufactured by caffeine.) Do your eyes pop open at the sound of your alarm? Then do you bounce through your day with a spring in your step? Or do you hit snooze half a dozen times before getting up and dragging through your day? While you may not instantly feel like the Energizer Bunny, your energy levels will dramatically increase once you begin a consistent, challenging exercise routine. How does spending energy

Here’s something you might be surprised to know if your social media feed is anything like mine. The “hustle and grind” is NOT the fastest path to your results. In fact, for some people, it’s a path to NOWHERE. Especially if you have responsibilities … like a career, family, home, pets, etc.! It’s true: the idea of “go hard or go home” might be exciting at first. But a few weeks later? Not so much. This way of thinking can leave you feeling tired, sore, and worn out! All that stress can actually work AGAINST you. There IS a better path. Listening to your body’s cues Making small, sustainable changes that add up to BIG results Creating new healthy habits that actually support your lifestyle Doing properly programmed workouts that help you reach your goals and GIVE you energy, not drain it The best thing? It’s about building a healthy lifestyle that you can follow (and enjoy!) for years to come. I can show you how we can help, just like we’ve helped 1000's to reach their health and fitness goals

Myth #1: Do extra crunches to flatten your abs. Excessive crunches aren't the answer for tight abs. In order to achieve a toned look you'll have to focus on burning off the layer of fat that is covering up your tummy. Tip: Don't obsess about crunches - instead focus on fat burning. Myth #2: Take diet pills to speed results. I know it's so tempting! The ads make compelling claims about the power of popping a pill, but don't fall for it. There is no ‘magic pill'. Diet pills are more likely to burn through your pocketbook than to slim you down. Tip: Don't pop a pill - instead burn calories with intense exercise. Myth #3: Turn to packaged diet products to boost results. Don't fall for the foods that are packaged as ‘diet' or ‘weight loss' aids. Quite often these products are packed with refined sugar and other artificial ingredients that your body doesn't need, and certainly won't help you attain that tight tummy. Tip: Don't eat packaged diet foods - instead stick with nutritious whole foods. Myth #4

Have you noticed how people jump onboard with a popular fad diet, lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds…only to gain it all back and then some? Why does this happen? It’s actually a simple concept, and once you understand it you will be forever saved from the tortures of yo-yo dieting. Fad diets saddle you with unsustainable calorie restrictions and some even cut out entire food groups just to produce that short-lived drop in weight—a process that is actually harmful to your long-term metabolism. The fad diets also ignore one major component to shaping up: exercise. You see, most fad diets operate on one age old premise: cut calories, cut calories, cut calories. By restricting the type and amount of food consumed the fad dieter usually sees an immediate drop in weight. If only it stopped there… But it doesn’t stop there. Life continues, and the fad dieter returns to their pre-diet eating habits—with one major difference in their body due to the sudden drop in pounds. Their calorie requirements have gotten smaller.

Would you like to be 50 pounds lighter just 12 months from now? Can you imagine how you would look, feel having lost weight!  You’d look like a whole new, younger person.   It’s actually much easier than you think, and I’m not talking about invasive, costly surgery, or grueling routines.  All it takes is losing one pound each week. One single pound.   Let’s break it down mathematically. A pound is 3,500 calories—spread that over 7 days and you need a 500-calorie deficit each day to lose 1 pound in a week.  Your 500-calorie deficit can be done by a combination of increased calorie exertion (exercise) as well as a decrease in calories consumed (eating less).   First, record your normal weekly exercise – look at everything from walking to participating in sports to exercising in the gym. This is your starting point. From here you’ll need to burn an additional 3500 calories on top of your normal weekly exercise.  If you don’t currently exercise, then any new activity will count

 Are you trying to lose weight, drop inches but just can't seem to figure out why you are having a hard time. Perhaps you can't lose weight because you are eating more than you think!   It’s no secret that the size of the average adult has expanded over the last forty years…and studies show that portion sizes have grown right along with us.   Researchers from New York University found that average portion sizes started to grow in the 1970s, rising quickly in the 1980s, and this phenomenon hasn’t shown signs of slowing.    A large order of fries from McDonald's’ weighs the same as 1998’s Supersize fries.   And it doesn’t stop there.    Check out these eye-opening figures, provided by the National Institutes of Health:    Today's 6-inch bagel has 350 calories.

As a fitness and fat loss professional for over 20 years, this is the question I get all the time. A typical question from a prospect or someone who is just trying to learn more about us will often ask " so what is better.. a big "box" gym or a private studio?" Now don't get me wrong I am someone who has been into health, fitness, and wellness my whole life. I have been into literally hundreds of Gyms. I have worked at, consulted with, and assisted in many gyms ranging from big "chain" gyms to smaller independently owned gyms and I love them all! However, that's me. So regarding the "what is better" question... My answer is ALWAYS the same.. It depends! Now, I know that answer may surprise some of you BUT the answer really does depend. You see everybody is different. Everyone has different likes, dislikes, and tastes. In this episode, I outline the pros and cons of each.  My hope is that you make an educated decision on which is best for you! #buffalopersonaltraining #weightloss #fatlossbuffalo Lets Conn

Almost every new client comes to me with the desire to lose fat – for a variety of reasons. The most prevailing reason that I hear is that they want to look more fit and attractive as a result of the fat loss. Maybe losing fat in order to look better is a strong enough motivator for you, but I’ve found that most people need something more compelling. My experience with helping my clients achieve their fat loss goals has really opened my eyes to exactly what they gain when they lose the extra weight. My hope is that by reading the 5 Big Benefits of Fat Loss below, you’ll feel the driving motivation that you need to jump into fitness with both feet, and that you’ll find out just how amazing and capable you’ve been to achieve your goal all along. Big Benefit #1: Confidence You may not consider it a concrete benefit, but that doesn’t stop confidence from being one of the most important perks of dropping fat.

 There’s something that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know… In fact, I believe that this is the biggest secret to attaining that perfectly fit body that you’ve wanted for so many years. It’s not that you aren’t trying to workout and eat right, it’s just that you haven’t been able to find that one thing to take you all the way to success. Now, finally, I’m going to share that one thing. It’s quite simple, and yet stands as the truest and most important fitness advice you’ll ever receive… The big secret is that…Your daily habits create your body. What do I mean by daily habits? The things that you consistently do on a daily basis determine your body’s shape, strength and stamina. That’s it. Nothing else matters as much as those daily habits. No fitness gadget, or outfit, or pills, or powders will get you results if your daily habits are working against you. The problem is that most people have bursts of fitness motivation when you eat clean and workout hard for a short time…but then the motivati
