One of the biggest reasons people start an exercise program is to lose weight.

And while losing weight is a worthy goal, there's way more benefits to exercise than just weight loss.

And this study sheds some additional light on that very thing.

A groundbreaking study by the University of Virginia and Arizona State University has shed light on a vital aspect of fitness that we often overlook. As highlighted by the New York Times, the research revealed something remarkable: "Obese individuals can significantly reduce their risks of heart disease and premature death more effectively through gaining fitness than merely focusing on weight loss or dieting."

This conclusion comes from an extensive analysis of over 200 meta-studies, revealing a crucial finding. Sedentary, obese individuals who actively improved their fitness saw a reduction in their risk of premature death by up to 30% or more, regardless of weight changes.

Pause for a moment and consider the magnitude of this finding…

Here's what we can learn:

Nutritional changes are where your focus should be for weight loss. (That's why we offer a pretty comprehensive nutrition coaching program)

The true value of exercise goes beyond mere weight loss. It's not just about shedding pounds.

it's about far more.....

Empowering ourselves to become stronger and more capable.

Bolstering our resistance to diseases.

Alleviating pain and discomfort.

Prolonging our lives and helping us to do what we love to do.

These benefits are undeniably more significant than just fitting into a certain size or style.

So, as you head into the new year and perhaps are thinking about starting a training program, be sure to remember that results are much more than about the scale.

P.S. I'll be releasing the details of our upcoming 42 Day S.M.A.R.T Fit Surge program that will be starting in January.

It's the most comprehensive program we've ever offered to help people take back their fitness and feel stronger, leaner and younger.

If you'd like to be first to get the details, just message us with back with "Surge" and we'll be in touch.

🌟 Attention Ladies 40 and up 🌟
Weight gain during menopause can be undeniably frustrating. While hormonal fluctuations are a challenge, it’s important to focus on the things that you CAN control.

Here are 5 evidence-based strategies to help you stay on track.

1️⃣ Focus on Getting Enough Protein: While individual needs vary, a great place to start is by getting at least 100 grams of protein per day.

2️⃣ Start Strength Training: Developing and maintaining your lean body mass is key to helping you maintain a healthy metabolism. 2-3 sessions of total body strength training is the ticket.

3️⃣ Manage Your Stress: Often ignored, stress can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Find effective ways to manage your stress that don’t involve excess calories.

4️⃣ Limit Processed Foods: The stuff that comes in a box or a bag can feel like just what you need after a long hard day. While avoiding all together is never a long-term strategy, find ways to make them less convenient while making other healthier choices easier to grab.

5️⃣ Focus on Sleep: Most Americans are sleep deprived. Focusing on getting enough quality rest is an important, yet underutilized tool in managing your weight.

Need help with any of the above strategies? Just comment below. We have free resources that are sure to help.
