The fat loss success of my clients
Thu ,05/11/2009Some people hire a Personal Trainer and get awesome results, some people don’t.
I will now let you in on the not so secret to their success;
If you have a goal to lose excess body fat you have and start on a good exercise programme on your own or with a qualified and experienced Personal Trainer (Epsom Personal Trainer) I first want to say congratulations! You are way ahead of the field and deserve to have great success. It is only half the story.
If you are like many of the people that start exercising you will be disappointed with your results if you rely solely on the exercise to lose body fat. Why? Because exercise alone is not a particularly effective way of burning calories - sure it can re shape your body and help you burn more calories every day but……
without a calorie restriction, a real one, then you’re efforts may just be in vain.
The most successful fat loss clients of mine ALL watch their calorie intake and make sure they don’t go over the specified amount.
That bears repeating They ALL watch their calorie intake!
Are you really getting the results you want from simply exercising?
Another great resource
Sat ,31/10/2009One of my favourite sites and authors in this game is Dan John.
He is friendly, helpful and has a way with words. Most of all he is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge for FREE.

The site is great if you want to lose fat, read about lifting heavy weights, love a good anecdote or to pick up some awesome tips.
Add muscle for performance, tone or simply to look goooood
Fri ,30/10/2009Morning,
Why would you want to add muscle? Here is my list of great reasons;
1) Increased confidence; more muscle means more strength
2)Burn more calories throughout the day
3)Improved posture, stronger back muscles hold you upright - stand tall!
4)Perform better in your sport, the stronger sports person wins
5)Look better, a lean strong body looks better than a soft weak one.
Adding muscle and getting stronger is simple and can be had in a very short space of time. 2 - 3 short thirty minute sessions a week can have you looking awesome in no time at all.
If you don’t want to get big muscles but still want to be strong, look good and stand tall - no problem, I can do that too.
