Shedding Light on Vitamin D

By Lisa Stogner | Categories: Blog, Nutrition

Vitamin D. You know you need it. But do you know why? Or how much? Or what it even is? We’ll shed some light on it. READ ON…

Because of what you’ve been lead to believe and the fact that there are about 4,000 cardio machines at the gym trying to reinforce that belief, it’s a constant battle for me to try to convince people to walk past the treadmill and to pick up dumbbells instead.

It’s not to say there isn’t a place for cardio… especially the right kind of cardio, like interval training. This should come as good news because you can ditch the days of pounding out 90 minutes of boring, go nowhere exercise on the elliptatreadclimbcycle.

But if you’re looking for a true, long-term solution for shedding fat, you need to start strength training STAT!

FACT: One pound of muscle burns 6 calories per pound per day while one pound of fat only burns 2 calories per pound per day.

Cardio doesn’t build muscle, but strength training does and the last time I checked, 6 >2.

I have insulin resistance and my blood sugar was way high. I knew I had to do something, so when I heard about Matthew, I decided to check it out. It has helped me tremendously. In just about 4 months my blood sugar went way down!! The doctor is happy and so am I. I also enjoyed doing the 90 Day Fitness Challenge. It helped me take more responsibility for every area of my life.
