RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Stuck in a rut and can't find the motivation to get your exercise & healthy eating going again? Two SIMPLE things you can do are:

1) In the morning before you consume any calories, do just 25mins of cardio. Do high/low intensity intervals every 60sec for just 25mins. Doing cardio as soon as you wake up before consuming any calories, will make your body use your fat (which is stored energy) for a fuel source to do the exercise.

2) Have breakfast every day! When we sleep, our body knows to slow down our metabolism (how fast we burn calories); and when we skip breakfast it continues to stay slow. This is bad because we're now burning calories at a slower rate; and now when we get to lunch we're starving and more apt to making bad choices & over consuming calories which leads to body fat gain.
