SlowBurn Personal Training Studios NYC

I received this wonderful email from a current client who is doing the work necessary in order to achieve the results she desires. She is following a ketogenic, adequate protein, real food nutritional approach. She is also doing 2 SlowBurn personal training sessions a week as well. So a huge congratulations to her! . She actually dropped 2 visceral fat points in 1 week which in my experience is rare. So proud of her! #ketogenicdiet #hardworkpaysoff #slowburnpersonaltrainingstudios #womenwholift

Recreation is a wonderful thing. But it isn’t the same as strength training. Exercise should cause what I call a positive tissue adaptation. That’s its purpose. In order to cause a positive tissue adaptation, you have to work hard and it isn’t much fun. Exercise makes recreation safer, more fun and improves the quality of any activity you enjoy. #resistancetraining #physicalactivity #selfimprovement

Pilates does not make a persons muscles longer and leaner. That’s a complete myth. The truth is, Pilates is a form of resistance training using what’s called a Reformer or done on a floor mat with body weight. No form of exercise can alter your genetics. If your muscle bellies are long and tendon attachments are short, you will appear to have long muscles. If your muscle bellies are short and you have long tendon attachments, your muscles will appear to be short and bulky. #truthbomb #pilatesbody #exercisescience

A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1C. So when someone asks you to reduce your calories they’re asking you to reduce the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water. WTF? To be precise, you can only reduce the amount of fat protein or carbohydrate in your diet. And if body fat loss is your goal more than likely you need to reduce the amount of carbohydrate in your diet and replace with protein. #dietstupidity #countingcalories #eatproteinfirst

Walking is a nice activity. But it doesn’t build muscle, strength, flexibility, bone density and a slew of other benefits that strength training does. And whatever health benefits walking does provide, strength training does too. #liftweights #strengthtraining #weightlifting #buildmuscle

Don’t count calories. Eat the food you evolved to require as a human being. No other animal on the face of the earth gives a damn about the amount of calories they eat. They eat exactly what they have evolved to eat and they eat as much of it as they like. Not a single well-fed animal in the wild is obese, diabetic or unhealthy. You don’t have to be sick. We are primarily carnivores. Plants are the food that our food eats. Obey your genetics. And sure, have a piece of chocolate every now and again - if you can. Some cannot. #carnivorediet #evolutionarydiet #dontcountcalories #humangenetics
