You are the CEO of your body. You are responsible for your results. Your results are driven by balancing the calories consumed with the calories burned. If you want to achieve results, you must measure both in order to achieve success. If you need to lose body fat, you must create a caloric deficit each day. You must track your calories in vs. your calories out.
Logging your food and workouts using the MyFitnessPal app, is the simplest way to monitor your calories consumed and the number of calories burned. Estimating the calories eaten is pretty straightforward, but calories burned can be deceptive. Cardio machines and activity trackers can be inaccurate and they don’t estimate the calories burned post workout. Sprints and strength training burn a lot of calories post workout.
If you put your metabolism in a business analogy, lifting weights would be the equivalent of generating revenue while cutting cost and cardio training would equate to cost cutting measures. If you aren’t performing strength training and you’re past the age of 28, your body will begin to lose muscle due to sarcopenia. The average male can lose approximately 30% of their muscle mass during their lifetime. This video describes the health implications of sarcopenia and how you can prevent it.
Your long-term success hinges on generating more revenue, not just cutting cost. Weight training burns calories while you are working out, and afterword. As you build more muscle, you will burn more calories at rest and during exercise. A muscular person burns more calories while exercising than a scrawny person because muscle is active tissue and fat is not. Fat burns almost no calories, while every pound of muscle burns approximately 50 calories a day.
Successful CEOs are those that balance short term results with long term goals. Cardio training is the most effective at promoting weight loss, but strength training is the most effective at promoting fat loss. This is because strength training promotes the retention of muscle while in a caloric deficit, which is critical to improving your body composition and preventing fat loss plateaus.
Discipline pushes us, motivation pulls us, but intentional habits keep us moving towards our goals.
Best wishes and Best Health!
