Goal setting can be a very powerful tool to help you achieve goals and grow in any area of life.

Setting goals for success in 2024 is the topic of our new blog

When setting goals, we want to set SMART goals. SMART goals are Specific goals, Measurable goals, Achievable goals, Relevant goals and Time-bound goals.

Accomplishing goals is part action and part mindset.

Staying consistent is by far one of the most important things when achieving goals.

Metabolic conditioning is another method to incorporate cardio into your weekly fitness routine.

Since most metabolic workouts rely on both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems you will be burning more calories during your metabolic training session compared to low intensity steady state cardio. Metabolic conditioning combines aerobic fitness with strength exercises, especially compound exercises and plyometric exercises.

Metabolic conditioning, if done properly should result in the maintenance of lean muscle mass, can potentially accelerate fat loss, improve muscular endurance, raise your metabolic rate and improve your overall body composition.

Exercise or diet ? Which is better for fat loss …

Well the one you will actually do will always win this battle

However if we take a look at the science -

Exercise is better at maintaining lean mass , maintaining metabolic rate and keeping the fat off

Diet will allow you to save time , is more efficient, can teach you about portion sizes and macros and show you how much energy (calories) your body needs and what is your deficit versus surplus.

Ask yourself a few questions :

Are you strength training now
Are you doing cardio
What’s your daily step count
Are you tracking protein
What’s your caloric intake
How much time do you have each day
How much fat do you need to lose

I recommend to Create a plan that includes both exercise and nutrition that you will adhere to and be consistent with !!

Questions ?

So you think you’re in a deficit however not losing any fat mass …

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news , but you aren’t in a deficit !!

Often times when we first diet and decrease calories and / or increase activity we see some progress on the scale and moreover how our clothing fits , however you may get to a point where you aren’t making anymore progress.

You may think to yourself , well I’m in a caloric deficit and my activity is high, what’s happening ?

Metabolic adaptation has happened.

So you’re previous deficit is now your maintenance.

You have two options
1- create a new deficit (if you can)
2- take a break, increase maintenance calories so later you can create a deficit again

Some people can continue to create that deficit by cutting calories further and increasing activity

However ! You may get to a point where you can’t cut anymore and can’t do anymore

What I suggest then is to take a diet break, focus on building up your calories and building up your muscle mass !!
