Diet Vs Exercise Episode 4
Had to post this extra You Tube clip today, love this series of videos. Really proves a point of how important diet is!
Number four in the series, how much exercise does it take to burn off a Starbuks? Want to know, wee Craig (Turbulence Training) uses a kettlebell to try and burn off the same number of calorie's as Bret Eats in the amount of time it takes Bret to eat a brownie and a drink!
Can you burn off the 1000 calories in the time it takes to eat a high calorie snack? This video just shows how much you need to think about your diet if you want to achieve sustainable weight loss.
Great Video Craig!

ARe you at a Weight Loss Plateau?

With summer fast approaching us and that dreaded time when the shorts and bikini's come out, are you starting to see your weight loss starting to plateau out? Well if you are here are three very simple but highly effective strategies to get your weight loss kick started again!
Change up your program! The routine that you are following needs to be regularly be changed about, a plan that aims to get you 3lb of fat loss per week will only be effective for about 4 weeks. After this point you will start to get the effect of diminishing returns. By changing a few simple aspects to your training every four weeks or so you can keep your body guessing and the fat coming off!
Change your diet! Your diet will need constant adjustment depending on your activity levels, this means that when you do more you need to eat more, but when you do less you need to eat less! Ensure that you are following a diet that gives you an adequate calorie intake for the current program you are following, and to meet your specific goals. If you are not sure how to do this consult your personal trainer!
Up your Effort! If you have been slacking a little lately then it is no wonder you have started to plateau out. Re-assess your goals, make sure that they are right for you, then Analise how to most effectively motivate yourself. Find out what keeps you going and do it! If you are unsure about this look out for my new series of blog posts on motivation!
These three simple things can be done to get you through that plateau and back on track to results!

Video: DIET vs EXERCISE Episode 1
Had to post this loved it! Great video from Craig Ballantyne! Based on a competition about between Craig running on the treadmill for a set period of time to see how many calories he can loose, at the same time he has a mate eat a pizza and see how many calories he can consume in the same amount of time.
Diet wins every time! So this shows just how important diet is, you can never account for a poor diet with the theory that you train hard so it does not matter!

Change
Today i was thinking back about my tastes in music and how much they have changed over the years. Back as a teenager in high school all i would very listen to is R&B and Hip Hop. That was it, I remember thinking how does anyone listen to anything other than this? I never thought that I would start to like The Killers or The Kings of Leon!
My point is that we all change, what we are interested in and what our perspective on life will both change as time goes on. So why not start to look at how you can make small changes to your daily life that will help you improve your wellbeing, health and fitness! Rather than trying to implement un-realistic sweeping changes. And before long you will be looking back with amazement at how far you have come, and how much you have changed!
So lets have some Killers!
