Weather

Pending the season and geographic location where one lives, can and will affect your results from a day to day work out. The warmer climates you tend to see the average population along the slimmer side; and with colder climates the average population towards the larger side. For us living in Canada we got to deal with all four seasons which is a benefit. As we are approaching the cold season, you want to increase the time spent in your work our routine. The reason being to keep the body at the same operating level as it would be in the summer. Look at it this way, in the winter the car will take about twice as long to warm up the engine ; (resulting in the use of more energy) as it would in the summer time, same with your body. The body tends to retain more water in the winter which leads to weight gain, found more commonly on the female structure. There are a few types of fat that play a part in the approach of getting a lean, toned body and we will touch base on that in the weeks to come.  As the seasons change so should your work out. Approaching the spring you should start to reduce your work out, and settle on a minimal plan once the summer months set in. with the in the increase of heat, your body will adjust, and naturally will drop weight.  If you are consistent in the winter months your body will not require much work once the warm weather settles in.  The reason for this being, the winter months are hard on the body, by working out on 4 or more time a week schedule, you’re asking more from your body, the body will train itself to keep up with your demands, getting your ready for the summer body you want.

Living in the warmth all year long can be bit more of a challenge, you will not experience the extreme changes in weather, and dramatic changes on your body. But having the heat of the sun year round is also a great advantage. You can incorporate sun saturation into your work outs.

Sun saturation, the break down; working out in your backyard, on the beach, patio or just an open area to exposure from the sun. Within this type of environment you want to slow down your movements, and really allow the sun to work with you. The heat from the sun and the strain of lifting weight or resistant training will be accelerating the work load on your muscle, ( the work load on the muscles is about 20% more).

Before you start your to set your goals understand yourself, and your surrounds, in the weeks to come I will take you through the simple steps on how I got my body like what you see in the photo and only getting better with age.
