Weightloss and strength training with Anton.V. Fitness

  When you go to gym you will see millions of people on the treadmills - if you ask them what their goals are.... most of them will tell you that they want to lose weight. Well..... I can tell you now that DOING CARDIO IS NOT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT. So what is the most effective way to lose weight? Strength/ resistance training is the most effective way to lose weight. Why you ask? Strength training increases your Basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is the number of calories you burn as your body performs everyday functions. So the more strength training you do - the more muscles you will have and the higher your BMR will be. (Meaning you will be burning more calories daily by just doing everyday life.... even when you sleep - YOU WILL BE A CALORIE BURNING MACHINE) This means in the long run strength training is more effective for long term weight loss as well. Another benefit of strength training is the fact that you will also become leaner because  as you are buil...

  Ok guys. I see lots of you are still struggling with nutrition and you guys actually have no clue what you putting into your mouth. I am going to make it easy for you... Hopefully this will give you an understanding of how things work and how food fuels your body. So imagine the food you eat as buidling a house. (Your body is the house).  Carbs are the workers - It creates energy to get the work done. Fats are the tools - makes things easier and run smoothly. Protein are the bricks - Protein becomes the house. Without the bricks you can never build a strong house. You need all 3 of the macros and you need to get the balance right. I see that most of you eat way too little protein and thats why your body is not very strong and covered in fat. Nutrition is key and you need to focus on eating properly. I promise you will look and feel better. I can help you with your macro targets. I can also educate you even more. Anton.V.Fitness

Body composition I often walk around the gym talking about "body composition" and individuals have no clue what it means... Individuals will often tell me they want to lose fat, build muscle etc... Then I say ah yes! You want to change your body composition....  OK body composition refers to the amount or percentage of fat, muscle and bone your body consists of. So in my case (being a PT) I help people change their body composition. I help people lose fat and build muscle.  By now you should hopefully know how that's done. If you don't.. Let me quickly tell you.....  Strength training and protein intake builds muscle.  More muscle = less fat (that's how the body works)  More muscle and less fat = lean/strong body So what I really want you to focus on is improving your body composition. Focus on getting stronger (strength training/progressive overload)  Eat enough protein to help repair and build those muscles  Stick to your calorie/macro targets daily....
