So Over Instafamous Trainers

Fitness stars posting wrong information?! Does that really happen….OH YES! And for whatever reason, the bigger the following, the faker the tan, the more shredded the abs, the more fit facts get screwed up. BE CAREFUL where you get your advice from, I seriously cannot stress it enough! Just because someone has abs and a million followers and claims to be a fitness professional doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing. You can be anything on the internet, ESPECIALLY if you know how to market.⠀
⠀
And to those fitpos screwing up your fit facts….SHAME ON YOU! Make mistakes about stuff that has nothing to do about what you claim your profession to be, but don’t screw up on what you actually claim to know.⠀ typos i’ll let slide only because i’m the queen of typos 🤣

Exercise & Atherosclerosis

The Basics of Exercise Order

Do you find yourself slapping together different exercises and hoping it works out or even thinking it gave you the best workout ever? I know i’ve been there. Believe it or not there’s a science to exercise order and sadly enough I have yet to see any of the famous fitspos with 1M+ following use correct order.⠀
⠀
Exercise order depends on recruitment goals and is a direct reflection of the energy system-tension relationship. ⠀
⠀
Exercise your major muscles (primary) groups using your compound lifts first, move into unilateral exercises (secondary), and end with exercises that target your stabilizers (ancillary). You need your stabilizers for your compound lifts so avoid fatiguing them first. ⠀
⠀
If you feel like you need help in every which way, I’ve got you! DM me or Email LetlerFit@gmail.com let me help you exercise correctly and effectively.⠀
⠀
If you like creating your own workouts, but are curious to see how they can be tweaked or improved, I help with that as well!⠀

Obesity Beyond “Looks”

Obesity leads to ⠀
-Systemic inflammation⠀
-Insulin Resistance⠀
-Disturbances in the secretion and function of adipokines⠀
⠀
Not only does it create the aforementioned issues, but it puts you at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (when your body struggles to utilize glucose and produce insulin, and/or it’s inability to act in response to insulin production). Did you know that 90% of all diabetes cases are type 2? Did you also know that this is potentially avoidable with lifestyle modifications?⠀
⠀
Risk factors for developing diabetes include:⠀
-Certain Medication⠀
-Race⠀
-Hypertension⠀
-Stress⠀
-Age⠀
-Pregnancy⠀
-Family history (genetics) ⠀
-High Cholesterol⠀
⠀
For every 500 kcal of energy expenditure per week that comes from exercise, the risk for type 2 diabetes is reduced by 6%.⠀
⠀
Exercise also helps increase ones insulin sensitivity by improving carbohydrate metabolism and glucose tolerance from enhanced cellular uptake.

I challenge you to stop looking at obesity as someone who is “fat” and needs to lose weight to be “skinny” because that’s NOT the issue.   The issue is HEALTH.⠀
