Too many times people will rely on a fitness tracker to provide feedback on the amount of calories burned throughout their day or their workout. If you're truly serious about losing weight, you need to take the initiative to eat healthy based on your body and your caloric needs to reach your goals.

A new study shows that we probably don’t burn as many calories in total per day that we think when adding in physical activity. This does NOT mean that exercise is worthless for weight loss. It is just not nearly as important as diet when it comes to weight loss. This may be even more important for those with extra body fat (see pic). I speculate as well that there are differences long term when looking at types of physical activity. Weight lifting should be included in your program if possible! This has the same authors as the study I posted a couple weeks ago. Interesting stuff. Lucky enough to be in close contract to them for this type of breaking research. ❤️

High box step ups with one of the high school groups before their respective sports began. . This day we were working on running specific movements to build power going into their fall sports.

Exercise is something that should be embraced by all ages. We had the pleasure to work with a group of youth athletes, and each one asked to try to bench the bar like their parents! Hearing that blew our minds, can you ask for a better "influencer" than a parent?

Look at our friend Jenn getting to work with one of our new Trap Bars.

These young men have been working with us to improve their speed and overall strength. Their KB Deadlift form has come a long way!

Continued research in the health field isn't widely publicized nearly enough.

A pretty cool study out looking at a large group of people and how much energy (calories) we burn throughout life. I put some highlights in the image. The gist is that contrary to popular belief, we really don’t have a slowdown of our metabolisms. It’s important to stay active as much as possible to hold onto our muscle which also keeps our metabolism high. This doesn’t mean that some individuals will not have slower or higher than average metabolisms by the way. Just another study confirming our metabolisms aren’t breaking all of a sudden. Sometimes we have injuries or changes that cause us to be sedentary compared to before. Often times we just stop doing what we did before and may start eating more than we think. Anyway, this should help empower us because we aren’t broken! ❤️❤️ PMID: 34385400
