A diet that is low in fat can cause many health problems for you such as: a disruption of hormone levels, weakening in your bones, your body’s digestion ability, kidney, and immune functions. Fat should NOT be avoided, rather it’s consumption should be moderated and managed. You need 20-35% of your daily calories from fat. This is just one of many factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle and my personalized program incorporates activity, nutrition, and rest to your daily routine.

Do your feet, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back ever hurt during your day? Excess body fat can limit your effort, ability, and endurance. For every pound of extra weight over your ideal Body Mass Index there are 4lbs of excessive pressure on your joints. So if you are 10lbs over your ideal weight that equals 40lbs of added pressure on your knees every step you take and this can cause serious pain over time. Call me and learn how to effectively improve your life in the comfort of your home.

Do you know what your Body Fat Percentage is? The US Army uses this number (along with a few other parameters) determine a soldiers physical readiness level. For a 42 year old male such as myself I am allowed up to 30% body fat. However the Department of Defense strives for a leaner 18% body fat. This is just one of the factors we will use to chart your progress in my 3 month personalized fitness plan. Call or inbox me today to get your fit on!
