Am I Healthy If I'm Overweight?

I don't care if you lose weight unless a health issue is SOLELY the result of weight.

Saying this might seem a little strange coming from me because I am constantly talking about how to lose weight. So let me explain…

Weight loss is the number one reason MOST people seek personal training so I speak to that but I am passionate about ALL the benefits exercise offers. Regulating weight is just one of them. 

I want to make something absolutely clear: unless a health issue is SOLELY the result of weight (and not the habits that got you there), you can absolutely be both happy and healthy without dropping a single pound.

I want both of these things for you and fortunately, the weight loss strategies I teach help you achieve them, so I get to have my own agenda alongside yours :)

Here are some things you can do that have a positive effect on health, happiness AND weight.

• Eat well (protein, fiber, real fresh food)
• Drink lots of water (half a gallon or more daily)
• Do compound strength training (squats, push ups, rows etc)
• Prioritize sleep and rest (find your ideal amount)
• Journal or talk out your stress (and aim to lower the amount of overall stressors)
• Move throughout the day (walk, stand regularly)

In short, moving your body and embodying nourishing lifestyle habits will help you lose weight but more importantly (to my mind anyway) will give you more health and happiness.
