You can't out train bad eating habits

On a daily basis I meet and consult with people that speak about a plateau in their weightloss or exercise program that they can't seem to break. In my experience, it usually has to do with one of three things; if not all of them: 1. Performing the same strength routine over and over again 2. Poor eating habits or 3. Too much cardio training.

With an overabundance of poor food chooses gawking at us on every street corner and time being more valuable than ever, eating properly and being efficient with our workouts is vitally important to leading a healthy life. Check out this video by world renowned fat-loss guru Craig Ballantyne, Craig races a pizza.

There are two valuable lessons to be learned from this video.

Number one is that regardless of how hard you train, if you are eating poorly, you will never attain the level of health and fitness you are striving for. Remember, you can't out train bad eating habits.

Number two is that cardio is not the end all be all. In fact, most people spend far too much time on CARDIO, while neglecting what will truly burn more body fat and raise your metabolism - STRENGTH TRAINING!

If your trying to get into shape for the summer or wedding season and have hit a plateau, go to Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks for a four week muscle building/fat burning workout plan.

Burn it Up!
