Basics

When you are trying to look good before, during, and after the holidays you need 3 simple things:

Good Nutrition-make sure you maintain a negative caloric balance. Calories are not bad, it's all about quality. You don't want to have excessive calories with little or no nutritional value. Choose Wisely, Your body will thank you! Be sure to keep a food log.

Cardio-when you are 50%-65% of you heart-rate you are burning the most fat. 70%-90% you are still burning fat but at a slower rate, in this range you will burn more calories. That's why I believe it's best to do interval training. I tell my clients all the time Cardio can be interesting, it's what you make of it!

Strength-Building muscle burns fat and increases lean body mass (that makes your vital organs Very Happy). Push yourself to muscle fatique so that the muscle can repair itself and get stronger....if your not familiar with muscle fatique it is when you can't do another repetition while keeping proper form, you always want to have proper form!
