A Whole Body Approach To Fat Loss

What’s the Secret to losing bodyfat and keeping it
off?
Ask 100 different fitness experts this question, and you’ll
probably get 80 or more different answers. That’s
one reason why fitness and fat loss gets so darn confusing-everybody
seems to have “the answer.”
You’ve got 101 different theories about how to induce
fat loss including super-slow training, heart rate training,
circuit training, Pilates, yoga principles, high-rep weight
training, and aerobics.
When it comes to nutrition, there are even more fad diets
than exercise theories. The Atkins Diet, The South
Beach Diet, Eat 4 Your Blood Type, Low Fat, Low Carb, Low
Calorie, The Zone…even Dr. Phil has a diet book.
Well, I’m going to simplify things for you. Work the
whole body each session! No tricky split routines,
no bodypart training…just training the body the way
it was intended to function, as a whole.

Human movement, stabilization, balance and strength are the
results of a whole body approach to strength training. Until
recently, the fitness industry had forgotten how to incorporate
the entire body in exercise programming.
The human body has over 600 muscles, all intended to work
as one complete and complimentary system. Traditional exercise
programs have neglected the majority of these muscles by
training in a one-dimensional environment. This type of training
handicaps the body from performing the way it is designed
to function.
Training in a fixed plane environment leads to isolated results,
muscle imbalance, and injury. In contrast, the whole
body approach to resistance training prepares participants
of any fitness level to achieve great improvements in body
composition and function better in daily life as well. The
three-dimensional environment of training movements, not
individual muscles, enables the body to become efficient
in both static and dynamic environments. Participants
achieve balanced, long lasting, effective results.
This method is fun because it is a whole body approach. The
same movement patterns that we used as children (pushing,
pulling, twisting, lunging, squatting, stepping and balance
in multiple planes) are the core of your approach to fat
loss. From beginners to the most advanced exercise
fanatic, this approach to fat loss and fitness will provide
fun and effective workouts and lasting results.
Full body training is an extremely effective way to loose
weight as involves dynamic, whole body movement that increase
caloric expenditure. Training movements instead of
individual muscles can also help change body composition
by increasing muscle mass, increasing growth hormone output,
raising metabolism, maximizing caloric output, and ultimately
decreasing body fat.

Now, regardless of how great your workout is, food intake
is the key factor that will either make you or brake you
as far as fat loss goes. The only way that the human
body drops body fat is by being in what is called a calorie
deficit. This brings us back to LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS.
Remember, I’ll say it one more time...this law states
that if you eat more calories in a day than you burn you
will gain fat, if you burn more calories in a day than you
eat you will lose fat, and if you eat the same amount of
calories in a day as you burn you will remain constant. This
is a law!!!! It is as true as the law of gravity and
it is how the body works.
Knowing this, it is simple. If
you want to lose fat you need to adjust you daily calorie
intake so that you are into a calorie deficit. You
need to get your calorie count low enough to begin fat loss,
but at the same time keeping it high enough to remain healthy. The
second step to optimizing you food intake is by spreading
your food out evenly throughout the day. Ideally,
you want to be on a five meal per day plan. By spreading
your calories evenly through five small meals your metabolism
works its best for you.
When you constantly give your
body food with small meals your body does not feel the
need to store fat. On the contrary when eating large, infrequent
meals your body feels the need to store some food as fat
for it is unsure as to when it will be fed again. Get
on a scheduled meal plan that your body will respond to. Five
meals a day, approximately three hours apart works great. A
healthy start point for you protein, carbohydrate, and fat
ratio’s is 25% of you food coming from protein, 60%
of your food coming from carbohydrate, and 15% of your food
intake coming from fats.
Now, I’m going to give you an industry secret. A
lot of personal trainers out there are gonna be upset with
me for it is too valuable to give away, but I’m going
do it any way. If you want to lose fat and you are
unsure of how many calories you are supposed to eat and are
not in a position to hire professional assistance, barring
any medical conditions, a simple formula to follow is this. Take
your body weight and add a zero on the end. Use that
as your general guideline, split the number evenly among
five meals per day and your body should be in a calorie deficit. For
example if you weigh 180lbs., add a zero, your now at 1800
calories. Divide that over five meals per day, your
eating 360 calories per meal. Keeping each meal balanced
approximately 60% carbs, 25% proteins, 15% fat, you are eating
in a healthy way to lose weight. It works!!
Note,
if you have any medical conditions always consult with
your physician first. How quickly will you see results? Although
results will vary with each individual, full body training
coupled with a proper nutrition program will help you achieve
greater results than most other programs in less time. The
results can come quicker and be longer lasting. >>
