My heart was racing, my throat was tight, my ears were ringing and that little vein in my forehead was standing at attention?
At least that?s how it felt. I was listening to this:
?Uncle Steve, I just want to tone. I don?t want to get all big and bulky, I just want to lose some weight.?
Rubbing the inside of the back of head with my palms pressed against my eyelids didn?t seem to stop the anguish, so I stopped, looked up and said, ?I can?t help you. You?ll need to go somewhere else for that.?
In the words of Yoda, ?Stunned she was!?
I?ve had this conversation with her, and a number of other clients, over the years and for some reason it just doesn?t seem to sink in?so I?m putting it down in written form.
I?m Not THAT Guy
First and foremost, let?s define what it means to lose ?weight?, shall we?
When the body loses weight, it loses, or potentially loses:
- Fluids
- Bone mass
- Brain mass
- Muscle (yes, the heart is a muscle)
- Vital nutrients, minerals and enzymes from the system
- Strength
- Stamina
- A healthy look
MMmmm?it all sounds so appealing?
If someone wants to lose ?weight? they merely need to be more selective about the quantity of food they ingest each day. Doesn?t even need to be good quality food, just limit the number of calories to below maintenance levels and VIOLA?weight loss occurs!
Of course, it all comes with all of the aforementioned benefits in varying levels and degrees.
Now of course, if one has a desire look lean, sexy and good in a swim suit on the beach, that is a whole ?nuther matter!
This is where successful fat loss, combined with resistance training to elicit a stimulus for the attainment of firm, well shaped and defined tissue (please, feel free to substitute the word ?muscle? for ?tissue?, then look at the photo above to see how good it can look) through sound and supportive nutritional measure combined with solid training practices come in handy.
You see, I can?t?or more specifically, I WON?T?help someone to lose weight. That is irresponsible and unprofessional.
I will help someone to lose FAT, to earn the body they want to live in and to achieve a level of successful health, fitness and wellness they can live with for a long time.
Like Karen here:
Karen has been working hard for the last 6 weeks to get married soon.
She stuck with the plan, lifted hard, ate right and is reaping the rewards of her efforts.
She?s down from a size 8 to a size 2.
No big, bulky muscle. Just lean and firm with a ?ready for the beach? body.
You want some of this?
Come get some?
Steve
