500 a Day


If you eat 500 fewer calories each day for a week, you'll lose about one pound of fat (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories)

if you exercised to burn an extra 500 calories each day, you'll lose about one pound of fat in a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

If you cut just 200 calories a day from your diet and burned just 300 calories a day by exercising, you'd lose about one pound per week. Compare that to the other examples above—you're losing weight at about the same rate without making major changes to your diet or exercise routine. Some people hate to cut calories, while others hate to exercise, so a combination approach allows you to do more of whatever comes easier for you. 

As long as you are consistent, your calorie deficit will "add up" over time, and you’ll slim down.  I know this is easier said then done - but if you really think about it and are honest with yourself...anything that you've ever really wanted in your life - you've received. Staying healthy, fit and losing weight or just maintaining your current weight - It's just a matter of making it a priority on your daily "to do" list.  To quote my nephew "make time".

An Aloha Allure workout, at a minimum, burns 497 calories and up to 800 calories  - and it's fun!
