How do you lose weight or gain weight easily?
We all train at the gym for different reasons and we all have personal fitness goals we want to achieve and at Xercise4Less Gyms, we want to help. Whether you’re ready to join a gym, new to gyms, a casual gym goer or already an experienced gym user, it’s important to know how nutrition can impact your weight.
If your biggest fitness goal is to lose weight, you need to make sure that you burn more calories than you consume every day. This is called a calorie deficit.
A calorie deficit doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the gym – you just need to be generally more active. This could even mean spending just 30 minutes in the gym doing a high intensity workout (weight training or cardio training) but also walking 10,000 steps a day and generally moving more. By keeping a track of your food intake on an app like MyFitnessPal, you’ll know exactly what you’re eating and how many calories you need to burn to make sure that you’re losing weight.
If your personal fitness goal is to gain weight, you need to be in a calorie surplus. This means that you’re eating more calories than you’re burning.
A calorie surplus doesn’t just mean eating more food and exercising less because it’s important that you maintain a regular workout routine and stay active and healthy. Whether you prefer to use weights or cardio in the gym, train in a way to suit you whilst making note of the food you’re eating.
