Let's talk INTERMITTENT FASTING!
The most common form of intermittent fasting is the 16:8 - you fast overnight and into the morning or early evening for 16 hours and then eat for 8 hours. The diet doesn’t tell you what to eat, only when to eat it.
When you start a fast, a few key changes are made in your body that help you lose weight and feel energized:
✅ Fed to fasted = your body shifts from using carbohydrates and glucose for fuel to using fatty acids and ketones for fuel. This is the preferred fuel source for your brain, resulting in up-regulated cognitive function.
✅ Blood sugar drops = improving insulin sensitivity, burns fat and regulates energy levels
✅ Cells get stressed = this isn’t always a bad thing, a little stress helps your cells work harder
Intermittent fasting may slightly boost metabolism while helping you eat fewer calories. It’s a very effective way to lose weight and belly fat. However, If you want to start fasting, we recommend you start slowly!

We get it.....Life is busy, but you've still gotta make time for self care! When we say self care we aren't talking anything crazy, just drinking water. 🥤
Here's the thing, it can feel like it's not a big deal but your brain gets dehydrated just like any other part of your body leading to short term memory and reduced performance.
So, make it a priority!
💧Invest in a nice water bottle and carry it with you everywhere.
💧Set yourself a goal.
💧Eat water dense foods.
💧Schedule yourself hydration breaks and reminders.

Looking to switch up your lifting routine ? Have you ever heard of drop sets?
Drop sets refer to the act of changing the size of your weights as you start to fatigue towards the end of your standard sets. It’s a technique similar to training to failure, in which you complete a set for as many reps as possible. However, the main difference between failure training and drop sets is that you drop the size of the weights as you fatigue.
Here's how you do them:
Normally, when you perform your reps you take rest periods, but when you're doing drop sets you reduce the weight and perform as many reps as you can without taking breaks.
Give adding drop sets into your training a try!🏋🏻💪

Just like everything in life, fitness is changing too.
First of all, we're more sedentary than ever with most of us sitting all day. Our lifestyle is causing us to be more physically inactive, gaining weight and feeling sluggish.
The rise of a more holistic approach to health is leading us to tune in to how we feel. We're seeing a rise in depression, anxiety, and stress in today's population.
Gyms encourage people to get moving. It would be a lie to say this isn’t helpful to weight loss, but it’s becoming more so about helping people feel confident, feel energized and perform better both physically and mentally. So if you’re stuck in the mindset that gyms are evil places for weight loss, think again. At our gym, we are celebrating an active life that helps us feel better and live longer, happier and healthier lives.

Don’t feel motivated to workout? Here’s what you need to do: stop relying on it! Motivation is fleeting, temporary, ineffective. The most effective way to stay consistent with your health and fitness goals is to rely on DISCIPLINE.
So how do you become more disciplined? → By creating habits.
How do you form a habit? → By being consistent.
To become more disciplned it’s essential you start ingraining healthy habits into your life.
Start working out at the same time every day, don’t eat junk during the week, switch your morning frappucino for a black coffee.
MAKE SMALL EFFECTIVE CHANGES + STICK TO THEM → Habit → Discipline

Here are some tips.
✅ Create a meal plan
✅ Get inspired
✅ Meal prep

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
May our lives be both full of Thanks & Giving. 🧡
We're so thankful for our members and we look forward to welcoming more people into our 1440 family!
#Fitness1440 #Fitness1440Nashville #happythanksgiving
For a lot of people, particularly those committed to a healthy lifestyle, Thanksgiving can be a time of pressure, regret, and guilt. Your grandparents are telling you to eat some more mashed potatoes, and your neighbor brought you her homemade apple pie. You feel pressured to consume it all, even though you know it will leave you feeling guilty and thrown off your healthy journey.
A slight detour from your healthy lifestyle isn’t going to drastically impact your progress and actually should be encouraged, but an urge to binge eat all the food can leave you feeling guilty and pushed far away from your goals.
So whatever you decide to do this Thanksgiving, remind yourself that you don’t need to binge to enjoy yourself.
