This Is the Time of Year When You're at Your Lowest Weight

If you've been working hard all year, now is not the time to pull back on the intensity. According to a new study published by the New England Journal of Medicine, on average, now is the lowest you will weigh for the remainder of 2016.

Now I know this might be difficult to believe but if you think about the remainder of 2016, there are a lot of occasions for eating coming our way. As the weather starts to cool down in October and the holiday season right around the corner, it is common to forgo the healthy foods for what is commonly known as "comfort foods".

For the study, researchers analyzed the weight patterns of nearly 3,000 people and found that weights start to rise around this time period, peaking near Christmas and New Years. The important thing to realize about this weight is that without the proper training regiment, it can take more than five months to lose this additional weight.

It can be difficult to start training, especially if you are not familiar or confident with the equipment in a gym, however the benefits of a Personal Trainer can be more than just instructional. One of the primary jobs of a Personal Trainer is pure motivation. To push you when you want to do nothing but sit on your couch and not move. Don't let the cold weather and coming holiday season derail all of your work. Get focused, get inspired, and get motivated!
