Fact or Fiction Fitness Questions


Which burns more Calories  - Cardio or Strength training??

New Studies show strength training superior to steady state cardio.  Weight training can boost metabolism long after you work out - for as much as 36 hours!!  Lift those weights baby!!

In my boot camp we work every muscle group to exhaustion with high reps and light weights.  I also layer in 30 seconds of interval cardio for maximum calorie burning!


Can you reduce cellulite through exercise??   YES!!!

Women lose approximately 5 pounds of muscle per decade, mostly from where the do not use their muscle - yeah, where you sit!  So when you lose muscle from you hips and thighs the layer of fat over top loses it's foundation so it can begin to look like an orange peel. Strength training (coupled with good nutrition) can help you get your foundation back and smooth out the look of your skin.

In my bootcamp we always work those big muscle so come lunge and squat with me!

Can exercise make you smarter??  YES!!!

Many studies have tied  physical activity to improved attention, memory and learning ability!  Exercise increases the production of Stem Cells that develop new brain cells.

Come check out the bootcamp class this January 2012 with your "student studying" teens.
