Why it’s important to regularly change your workout routine

Burlington Boot Camp Starts February 22 2016

Burlington Boot Camp Starts February 22 2016

Your body learns very quickly how to handle and recover from the stress of a workout. The result? You’ll burn less calories and build less muscle. This is what’s known as “plateauing”.

So what’s the solution you ask? In order to get the most out of your workouts (and the results you desire), you have to continually switch up your workouts in order to shock your muscles and keep your body guessing.

However, this can add up to a lot of time and planning. Why not try Burlington Body Camp, where everytime you walk into a session you will be greeted with a new full body workout. Not only that, each session takes into account what you did the class before, so that all of your muscles are proficiently targeted.

“After working all day, I love that I don’t have to think about making and changing my workouts. I can leave that up to the trainers. All I have to do is show up.”
– Burlington Body Camp regular Frances Cowley

Where does the fat go when you lose it?

Blow your fat away: Exercise guru says we literally exhale our fat when we workout

CBC News

Fat Loss

Where does the fat go when you lose it?

It’s a question everyone asks when they start out on a new diet or exercise regime — where does the fat go when you lose it?

There are several persistent explanations floating around, said Jeff Woods, a long-time personal trainer and fitness lifestyle commentator on the Canadian Learning Channel.
Some believe the fat converts to muscle — a theory that is “blatantly wrong,” Woods said.

Others think fat is turned into heat energy and literally burns off. “Well, that sort of happens,” Wood acknowledged.

Before fat can be reduced, a person must elevate his or her body temperature and burn calories, he clarified.

As for the idea that fat cells metabolize — “Well, that’s just not true,” he said.

5 Ways To Get Fit With Group Workouts

Before you bypass group fitness, learn how sweating with others can help you achieve your fitness goals.

Group. Fitness. Classes. Put those three words together in a phrase—now read them out loud. Did images of spandex leotards, leg warmers, and Olivia Newton John-style workouts pop into your head? I honestly can’t blame you if they did; the decade of “Let’s Get Physical” still has some pull more than twenty years later. However, it’s important that group fitness be associated with something else. Sure, hefting weights on the gym-room floor and hitting the treadmill are popular workouts for a reason, but ask yourself:

  • Are you new to working out/strength training?
  • Is your progress or motivation flagging?
  • Do you have signs of muscular imbalances?

If you answered yes to even one of the above questions, you could be… totally normal! And someone who could benefit from a weekly group fitness class or two.

1. YOU’LL RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM A PRO

When training at home, one daunting question of self-doubt has no doubt come into your head: “Am I doing this right?” Well, it’s hard to know how good your squat is if you don’t have a giant mirror and no one is there to check your form! Of course, you can always pay extra for a personal trainer, but group fitness classes can be very helpful—and the price is often included in most gym memberships. A good instructor watches all participants throughout the class to make sure their workout is safe and effective. The instructor should also have fitness training and a certification under their belt, and it’s not a bad thing to ask them about it, either. With your instructor’s guidance, and by watching their moves closely, you can often get a safer, more effective workout than you would on your own.
