What is exercise?
1.
150 minutes per week of physical aerobic activity
that raises pulse to about 120 and makes you minimally short of breath – 40-50
minutes three times a week
2.
Lifting weights three times a week to increase
muscle.
3.
These two alternate and there is one day of rest
Why do we want pills to replace exercise? Why do we want
food to replace exercise?
Why do we not exercise? Do we not see the cheap benefit of
exercise?
Coaching as part of our program helps clarify and define the
reasons so you can really achieve weight loss for life!!!
