We have discussed two of the three keys of health/fitness, which includes your diet/meal plan and your workout. Know it’s time to move on to cardiovascular. Yes cardio, you either love it or hate it and I lean toward the hating part. I’m honest, but in order to get the body you want it has to be done.
Most of us just think jumping on the treadmill running, running and running is going to burn the fat of your body. I’m here to tell you, WRONG!!! Our bodies have multiple energy systems aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic is when your body is maintaining a certain heart rate before it changes to sugar burning, this is the fat burning stage. Anaerobic is when your body’s energy system switches from fat burning to sugar burn. So this means that the slow pace cardio (conversational pace) burns and target more fat
burning than running, YES.
Most clients and gym goers argue “I don’t feel like I’m doing anything or it boring”. So I ask, what is your goal? What is it you want to accomplish? If you answer, I want to lose weight; well you need to do slow pace cardio three to four times a week, burning that fat off your body. The most accurate way to know when your body energy system changes from fat burning to sugar burning is by using a VO2 sub-max machine. Your trainer may
have other methods to help you find you heart rate number.

Hump Day Fitness Challenge: Part 6
Middle of the work week and you can almost see Friday in the horizon. For those who have been working out all week, that weekend break is almost here. Giving you an opportunity to rest, regenerate and enjoy your weekend. Last Wednesday 2daybefit challenge was all about doing you; I hope you had a great time doing it. This week I want you to invite a love one or friend to join you in your fitness journey.
I realize when taking on new challenges in life such a setting fitness and healthy goals, there is no better feeling of support than having someone close to join you give you that extra support and motivation. Bringing them along this gives them an opportunity to see what it is you’re doing and it could also be a bonding period.
As mention in prior blogs having a training partner is great, but this is a little different. This week I want to you grab someone it could be a boyfriend, your daughter, sister, etc. Just take them on a walk around the park, city or a few laps around the neighborhood. This is a great way to bond and an excellent introduction getting them interest in fitness. Seeing how much fun this fitness/healthy lifestyle can be.

Hump Day Fitness Challenge: Part 5
Wow!!! How time flies. A week has already past since last week's’ hump day challenge, I hope everyone enjoyed the challenge and reap the reward of dropping a few pound. Challenging yourself each and every week help you stay motivated and allows you to set new goals for yourself.
Change is something that most of us look for when we embark on this health/fitness lifestyle. It could be a change in weight lost, weight gain, muscle tone, flexibility or just a healthier life. Some of us take on this new lifestyle to be able to do some of the things we could not do because of injury, being overweight, or not being strong enough to accomplish the thing we want to do. Such as running a marathon, hiking, or finishing a triathlon. Even things like bending over to pick up your child, mopping the floor or walking with you love one around the park. Having a healthier and fitter lifestyle can and will help you achieve the things you love to do.
2daybefit wants you to go out and do those things you love or do the things that you have wanted to do but you couldn’t. That’s this week “Hump Day Challenge”, taking the step to enjoying life, do you. Do whatever it is that brings joy into your life. So go for that walk, climb that mountain, hike that trail and pick up your little one.
Have a wonderful week. Maybe I will see you on that hiking trail.
