Wednesday Wobble

It's a brand new Workout Whenever and Wherevertype of Wednesday. I hope everyone is still going strong with your workouts and most importantly healthy clean eating. I would like to dispell a myth. All vegetables are not created equal. What am I saying? I'm telling you if you put butter, smother them to death with cheese or bacon then it is no longer a healthy treat. That is why the inches around your waste are the same week after week. Another myth, you just ran 2 miles, so you can now eat a snickers bar or Raising Canes because you've done "well". I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you've just set yourself backwards! A 4 finger box from Mr. Todd Graves will run you 1200-1500 calories a box and that snicker bar 210 calories. When you finish your workout you are suppose to feed your muscles not feed your fat! You only burned between 150-250 on that run so let's not travel to la la land and think you've burned 500-600 calories. Repeat after me "I AM NOT A DOG I DO NOT NEED TREATS AFTER I DO SOMETHING GOOD!"  My favorite myth to dispell and I don't care who's on the other side of this argument. Weight training in females does NOT make you look like a man (if you're not born genetically that way). You don't have enough testosterone, you're not taking enough supplements, you're not eating a strict enought diet, and you're not shooting yourself with testosterone! You would need all of these things to look like a male body builder. Weigh training makes you burn more fat even after you've finished working out, build lean muscle, keeps you flexible, relieves stress, and makes your rump sit up oh so perfectly without the lumps and bumps. I'm saying all this to say, stop making excuses do some cardio, lift some weights, eat healthy, treat your self every once and a while, and enjoy looking good!
