DefensiveFit - Cross Training

Our program will provide you with the opportunity to improve your fitness and wellbeing in a way that will challenge you both mentally and physically. All workouts are self paced, so it doesn’t matter what your level of fitness is.  The workouts blend boxing, kickboxing,  anaerobic and aerobics exercises for an intense cross-training workout. Combining high intensity with interval training results in EPOC (Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), which speeds your metabolic rate and boost your metabolism for up to 48 hours after working out. This type of training will improve your strength and endurance, build muscle and reduce body fat while learning self-defense. DIETS We don't follow any specific diet, but we do recommend you eat a high protein source, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no artificial sugar. Every meal and snack should contain a source of protein with a source of carbohydrate or fat.  Another suggestion we make is not mixing carbohydrates with fats. When you eat carbohydrates your insulin levels are elevated. When eating both carbs and fat together it will increase fat storage.  Our focus is not in calorie counting, as we know it can be stressful. What we advise is being a conscious eater and focus more on portion control.
