Fitness and Nutrition Info
One pound of fat has 3,500 calories
stored inside of it.
An average person burns 200-350 calories an hour exercising
on their own. Only the most intense workouts go above
400 calories. Its all relative after all. At rest we typically
burn 0.8 to 1.1 calories a minute, which
means roughly 55-60 calories an hour. To burn 600-1000
calories an hour, you would have to sprint or work just
about that hard for an hour to burn each one of those
calories off your body! Wow! The average person does a
25 second set of an a exercise, rests for 1 minute 35
seconds, then does another set. The average person does
18-22 sets per hour times 25 seconds. That is a whopping
10- 20 total minutes of work per hour! Great job!
wow!
Wow is right. Imagine going to a workout that combines
total body strength exercises with an amazing cardio workout,
it helps you regain balance, control of your body, stamina,
and coordination. Imagine that this boot camp has you
burn 450-600 calories per hour (10x more calories than
you burn at rest). If you were there last Saturday then
you don't need to imagine. You survived it! You did 2
minutes of exercise with 1 minute of rest. That equals
40 minutes of exercise an hour, double the rate of a workout
on your own.
Doing this workout 4 times a week plus focusing on nutrition
can help you burn fat faster than a traditional workout
in a gym. Workouts like this help you bust through your
plateaus, it helps you remember what it was like being
an athlete in high school, these workouts are fun and
challenging, and your odds of success go up.
The proof is in the numbers, South Beach Boot Camp works.

One pound of muscle can burn 20-50
calories
When we rest, each muscle can still burn calories more than
2x the rate that fat burns at rest. But when we move, the muscles
that we actually use will burn up to 50 calories. So lets think
here....if we sit on a bike pedaling away furiously for an hour,
our legs work...but our arms are stationary....and our abdominal
muscles don't flex either nor our back....so we don't use our
whole body. In this case, your legs could burn more calories,
but the rest of your body burns less.
So consider a total body movement that involves arms, legs,
and abdominals. If you use most of the muscles in your body
for the majority of your workout - you would burn more calories
per each pound of muscle for the entire day. By having well
organized, efficient workouts, you get results faster. We
have already learned that burning calories is the key to weight
loss - so why not get started. Change the way you workout,
and change your life.

Nutrition is the key.....
Too often I have met with people who say "I eat great!"
Only to find out that they don't realize how many calories they
are eating and simply don't understand the picture. Simply put,
if you aren't losing weight, you are eating the same amount
of calories that you are burning. Changing nutrition is the
first step. Eating healthier can drop your calories per day
by 500-1000, resulting in 1-2lbs of fat coming off your body
per week. Who is the big culprit in your diet......let me name
a few for you.
1) Fat. Thats right, fat. 9 calories per gram. If you happen
to put one tablespoon of olive oil (or Italian Salad Dressing)
on your salad you will add 13 - 14g of fat resulting in 120-130
extra calories. If you have some feta cheese in that salad
and some walnuts (15 halves), add an extra 23g of fat and
now you are up an additional 220 calories. Cut those few things
out and add a fat free dressing and you just lost 350-400
calories per day by eating smarter.
2) Carbs. Carbs are not your enemy. Then again, you should
always remember the golden rule of nutrition, moderation,
moderation, moderation. The key to maining the proper portion
sizes with nutrition is to understand what a portion size
is first! A typical meal could give you 60-180 grams of carbs
in it. Carbs are in your appetizers, they are in your main
meal, and they are in sauces that are made that go over you
meals along with fat. Carbs are what draws us to crave sweets,
run for the chocolate and steal a piece of candy off our coworkers
desk. The key to making peace with carbs is understanding
exactly what you need, adhering to that simple philosophy,
and changing your outlook.
