Getting in Shape is a simple Equation?
Most of us heard “Calories In” vs “Calories Out” is the simple rule to weight loss or gain. The technical term is know as “The Laws of Thermodynamics” : “in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state.” Simple enough? Not likely. Our human bodies are significantly more complex to just apply a simple rule to achieve a weight loss formula. I don’t want to make things difficult by becoming too technical and elaborate into an equation that will give you a headache but let’s consider evaluating the main principles to make your equation feasible.
BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate and not to be mistaken for BMI! (Body Mass Index). To simplify the definition of BMR, it’s the amount of calories expended throughout the day according to your regular lifestyle activities. My BMR happens to be 2,900. Much higher that most and considered a fast metabolic rate however, we must consider my daily activity level. I’m a personal trainer that is lifting dumbbells, iron plates and demonstrating several exercises each day and this is why I can eat 2,900 calories everyday and not gain or lose a single pound unless I change my activity level dramatically.
What is Sweat Techie?
Some of the hottest topics on the internet are related to technology and/or fitness. I happen to be heavily inspired and involved in both industries. This blog is where “oranges and apples” taste great together. We’ll write about the latest gadgets and applications along with uploading video reviews to give our followers truly unbiased opinions. Yes, I said UNBIASED, but then again an “opinion” cannot be entirely unbiased right? Haha.
As a fitness professional, I see the fitness industry evolving. I’m talking about the broader view of health and wellness. How many fat-loss pharmaceuticals are available today? How many home fitness DVD programs do you have? How many people purchased a Suzanne Somer’s “Thigh Master” in the 90′s? Everyone seems to want a solution to drop fat and here we will review what actually works. We will also review the growing market of mobile fitness apps and conduct polls to see what our readers think.
With the millions of blogs in a crowded technology market I feel like I’m entering the lion’s cage. So many products with so many opinions and I understand that this blog will just be another needle in the haystack. My biggest disappointment is that many reviews on the internet seemed to be written by corrupted people. As for us at Sweat Studio and Sweat Techie, we don’t have the urge to make a living from our reviews so hopefully we can express our articles as contributions to the community. Our objective is to thrive to make our articles entertaining without all the unnecessary hype that often misleads the reader. Does everyone have a price tag to purchase your popular opinion? What do you think?
