Richmond Hill Boot Camp D&D Fitness

Have you ever heard the saying, "you can't out train a bad diet"? It's the truth. Exercise is a necessary component for building muscle, increasing strength, and improving health. However! If losing fat is your goal or increasing muscle mass, your food intake has to match your goals. It will take a plan, discipline, and intentional eating. Does that mean you can never enjoy ice cream? Of course you can still enjoy ice cream! Just not several servings on a daily basis. Let your food fuel your goals and enjoy the flavors and any novelties along the way! Speak to your coach or a dietician to make a plan and move closer to your goals!
