Did you know your Resting Metabolic Rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. Knowing your RMR can help you determine daily calorie needs and plan caloric intake needed to reach your fitness goals.

Never forget the importance of stretching. Dynamic Stretching, or stretching that involves movement such as wide arm circles, is generally performed at the beginning of an exercise program after proper warm-up. Static Stretching, stretching while the body is at rest, is performed after exercise to improve flexibility and cool your body down.

Avoid unhealthy snacking by keeping fresh fruits and veggies on hand. Some CLEAN EATING fruits and veggies include: Apples, Avocados, Bananas, Blueberries, Broccoli, Celery, Cucumbers, Kale, Raspberries, Strawberries, Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, etc.

Control food portions by eating off smaller plates and bowls.

Don’t skip meals! Contrary to popular belief, skipping meals WILL NOT help you lose the fat. Skipping meals can cause your metabolism to slow down, which in turn signals your body to store fat.

Enjoy the simple pleasures in life, never taking things for granted.

When it comes to losing weight, exercise alone usually doesn’t cut it. Exercise combined with a healthy diet is a best approach when looking for real results!
