INCREASING ACTIVITY LEVELS IMPROPERLY

---

One of the fastest ways for your metabolism to hit a wall is increasing your activity level indiscriminately in the gym while on a fat loss diet. This is because your body has several mechanisms in place to try to maintain its current state. When you push too hard (i.e. cardio twice a day) during a hypocaloric diet, the body fights back and adapts by lowering your energy expenditure. This means a depressed metabolism and sluggish centralnervous system output, which means less fat burned overall. Probably the number one thing affecting most gym rat’s results: DOING TOO MUCH TOO QUICK!

The human body does not work that way unfortunately, folks. When stressed and shocked, the body has one goal: get back to square one! We have to carefully and systematically “fool” our bodies into getting the results we want and need. It’s not as easy as simply lift weights – eat good food – be Adonis. There are many different internal mechanisms and systems within (ie Nervous System, Immune System, etc etc) that need to be attended to, to get optimal, HEALTHY results!

SOLUTION:
Simple – be gradual! Start slow, and increase consistently. Don’t do too much all at once, or you’re body systems will slowly shut down and want to keep you from getting to where you want to go
