What Are You Waiting For?

You probably already know this since you’re at my site reading my blog– I’m a personal trainer. Whenever that, “So what do you do?” question comes up, I always get basically the same questions. “How do I lose weight”, “How do I tone this?”,

An Angry Reader?

I received an email without a valid return address after my last post regarding efficient exercise programming for fat loss.

I think I must have touched a nerve with the person that wrote me this email. I’ll leave out the name given, but I figure a public reply is in good order, just in case anyone else felt similar to them.

Before I get to the email, I would like you all to know that I always welcome any and all comments, questions, or criticisms from anyone out there including: personal trainers, clients, experienced, or novice exercisers.

You can post your comment directly to the post, or you can email me. If you would like a reply to your email, please leave a valid return address if you’re using my consultation form to send me a message.

Learn From Their Mistakes

Time is the most valuable thing you have. You have a very limited amount in your lifetime. Once it’s gone, you can never get it back. That time is gone forever. You shouldn’t waste it and you should definitely never let anybody else waste it. Especially if you’re paying for it.

I was working out at my “other” gym here in Honolulu this morning. In the middle of my workout, I saw a personal trainer working with a middle aged woman. I have heard her talking a little about her goal before; losing weight and getting more muscle tone. It was pretty obvious to me that she was new to working out. I’m guessing her body fat % was in the low to mid 30′s.

The trainer was having her perform a single arm dumbbell lateral raise. Now, why in the world would a trainer of all people choose this particular exercise for this person. This lady wasn’t a bodybuilder.

Step Zero

If you look at your bank statement, you expect to see an exact number, right?

Would you be satisfied if it only gave you a rating; Low, Enough, Good, or Rich?

Would you be satisfied if your bank statement only showed you a checking account
balance but, always kept the savings account balance a secret from you?

Why would you treat your fitness any differently?

If you are working with a good Certified Personal Trainer, one of the very first things they’ll do is take a few basic measurements. You should know these measurements too.

Numbers 1-3 are especially important for a person whose goal is to improve their
appearance; to lose weight, cut-down, tone-up, trim-down, shape-up, -down, -diagonal, or -whatever.

Get these measurements-

The First Law of Fat Loss

I have great news for you. We live on earth and in our quest for lean, toned bodies, we are governed by the same laws of science that apply to everything else on this planet. By visiting this site and keeping up with my blog, you will learn about many of the myths of fat loss; you will learn some concepts that you must know if your goal is to lose fat, have a six pack, or to get lean, and toned. I will try to keep it as simple as possible using scientific terminology only when absolutely necessary.

Just what is “tone” ? What does it mean to have “tone” ? Most people that I know of point at their triceps, stomach, and inner thighs and say they just want exercises to “tone” these areas. It can be a very misleading word. You can work that muscle out all you want, but if you don’t decrease the layer of fat that’s covering that muscle, you won’t see any of this elusive “tone” that everybody wants.
