Expect to FEEL the results of your training sooner than you SEE them. People who start a new exercise program and are consistent in getting their workouts done typically report improvements in sleep, mood and energy levels within two to three weeks. Changes in body composition often take longer to notice; the more consistent you are with your workouts and the closer you adhere to your nutrition plan, the sooner the results will become noticeable (to you and to others too!).

Walking or running on a treadmill does not engage the complex structure of the foot and ankle in any meaningful way. It can lead to loss of agility, as it fails to mimic real-life conditions of running on uneven ground and also brings monotony to your workout. It’s also worth noting that treadmills are associated with more than 24,000 injuries each year—usually muscle strains. If you want to get your heart rate up and burn some calories go ahead with our CrossFit or HIIT program which not only burns calories but also increases your Resting Metabolic Rate (BMR) so you keep on burning calories for the next 24-48 hours.

Weight machines just don’t translate well into strength and fitness for daily activities, not to mention athletics.

No longer than 45 minutes to an hour. At around this time is when your body releases catabolic hormones (cortisone) into your system. This stuff is pumped into your system to make up for the loss of muscle tissue that is being damaged while you work out. You know that feeling of over-training, like you are lifting and lifting for naught? This is the catabolic state. It’s working out for negative returns. To get big, awesome muscles doesn’t mean you need to spend three hours in the gym.
Quite the opposite, actually.

You can expect to lose about 1-2 pounds of FAT per week, without losing muscle.
If you’re very heavy, then 1% of your body weight per week (2.5 to 3 lbs if you’re 250 to 300 lbs) is safe and realistic (larger and fatter individuals are more likely to lose faster than smaller and leaner individuals). Extra weight loss is common the first week or two, but that’s usually water weight.

Weights does not create a bulky, unfeminine Lifting body. In fact, it creates a leaner, more athletic, elegant-looking body. Muscle is far more compact than fat; so the more muscle you build, and the fat you lose, the smaller you’ll actually become. And the more lean muscle tissue you acquire, the more calories you’ll burn 24/7. There is one simple reason why women are incapable of acquiring muscle mass anywhere close to the level that a male is capable of acquiring…the hormone testosterone.

Normal testosterone levels in men are 300-1100 ng/dl while in women normal is 15-70 ng/dl. If you compare the median-range testosterone levels in men and women, men’s = 700 and women’s = 42.5. On average, men produce roughly 16 times more testosterone than women, and many research articles state levels greater than 25 times more!
