Today's entry:
The fitness program I am currently following now is called " Insanity program by famous fitness instructor Shawn T. I'm sure you readers have heard it before( especially if your into the fitness thing). I recently learn that this program has been going on since 2009 and I only started using it only since last year. I personally favor this program because of its pretty straightfowardness (is that even a word?). Work hard and you're going to see results. That's what it says anyway.

This program offers me the solution for me to achieve one of my new year's resolution which is to transform my body into the best shape possible. I am not going to be one of those people who you see only going to the gym at the beginning of the year and soon enough they quit because its too tiring. Besides reaping the benefits of getting into the best shape,  I wanted to do something which would challenge me physically ands mentally. That I way, I might be able to get some progress in my life. Tony Robbins once said( I heard it first from him anyway) "change is automatic, progress is not".

Change is going to happen whether you like it or not. The world is going to change. your environment is going to change. Your physical body is going to change. Your relationship with others is going to change. You can't stop it. But progress in your life is something that you need to put effort in. Its not automatic. In my last post I said that 2014 is going to be year of change for me. This is one of it.

So what I learned about fitness and weight loss is that the most important part of it is your diet( foods you consume). For me, I don't believe in starving your self to lose weight. You only need to eat right and exercise regularly. As simple as it sounds, basically that's all there to it. Why not starve yourself you ask? based on my experience and other people's experience that when  you starve your self, you won't last very long. And if do last for quite some time, your body won't be in a great shape anyway. Plus when you stop your diet, you'l gain weight faster than people who eat and exercise right. Other losses include muscle loss. Which leaves you skin and bones( and that aint sexy :/ )

Here's what I think people should focus on when trying to shave off that extra kilos. Your focus should be raising your metabolism. Metabolism is responsible for the rate our body burns calories.
