Cooling Down…
Well the weather is cooling down here in Northern California…at least at night and in the mornings. Now to many, 50 degrees is not cool at all…but it is here. It will get worse as we get into the 40’s and even 30’s. People in climates with temps below this are laughing at me right now;-) Whatever!
Here’s the point. Body fat is there for a reason. The reason is to give us protection in times of cold and starvation…like winter! Well, winter is approaching quickly and your body wants the fat to stay warm and protect during the winter starvation. The body does not know that we have warm clothes and tons of food during the holidays to get fat with…the body is very similar to the way it was way back when things were not this way.
So what’s the point? Don’t eat like a pig during the winter? Well, that is too obvious to state! How about this:
The body uses fat to stay warm…so stay warm while exercising to burn fat! I say this because my San Jose Adventure Boot Camp program meets at 5:30 AM and it is 50 degrees, and will get down into the 30’s in the next few months. My campers still get warm with the great exercising we do out there. What then? Well they strip off layers to cool down. OK, that sounds logical right? Not really…the body then feels the cold and will burn less fat!
Swimmers in warm water will have more body fat than swimmers in cold water. Studies have been done! If you remember one thing, remember that.
We like nice air-conditioned places to workout…just like we want to park right in front of the damn gym so we don’t have to walk too far before we run for 30 minutes on the treadmill. Can we say stupid and lazy?!?!? Come on! Gyms should not be cold! You should park as far away from where you are going as possible (in the parking lot…let’s not get too crazy;-).
Stay warm = Burn FAT
More Activity = Burn FAT
Stay active and stay warm and you will continue to progress in your fat loss!
Now GO WORKOUT!
