SportfitLA They consider everyone an athlete, and life is the ultimate sport. Training like an athlete or “playing”, and eating like our ancestors is a far easier, more effective, and fun way of life than worrying about how many calories you consumed and performing hours of boring steady state cardio. Sure steady state cardio burns calories, but you are only burning calories within the time frame you perform the exercise. Why do that when you can be igniting the body into a fat burning machine with athletic based interval and strength oriented training. That is precisely what SportfitLA is all about. www.sportfitla.com 818.445.7241
