BODY FAT

Burning fat is simply using up more calories than you consumed in a day. If you want to lose more body fat, you will need to burn more calories. However, this does not mean you should deprive your body of food by skipping meals.

By skipping meals your body will go into survival mode to prepare for a possible famine. Over time your metabolism will slow down and your body won't burn off any excess calories. In order to burn body fat your body needs more food. Eating 5-6 small portions throughout the day will help to speed up your metabolism. A faster metabolism will help burn off excess calories faster.

Ideal body weight must be achieved in order to achieve optimum health. Excess body-fat can lead to obesity and CAD (Cardio Artery Disease). The ideal body fat percentage for men is 11-18% and 18-25% for women. Here at Fitness Blueprint we offer body-fat testing with Futrex 5500. Futrex 5500 is an ultrasound device that measures both body fat and BMI (Body Mass Index). This information will give us a clear view of where we stand to properly customize an exercise program that will tailor your fitness needs. The result to achieve is ideal weight and a faster metabolism.
