 We prefer you to think in terms of "fat loss" instead of "weight loss." The aim of getting in shape is how you look and how healthy you are. The goal should be to get leaner. This means changing your body composition so that you have less fat and more muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat per cubic measurement, absolute weight loss should not be the sole measure of your success. The important results should be how your body looks, how your clothes fit and how you feel.

Burning Fat Through Aerobic Exercise
The diet itself helps to increase your calorie burning by boosting your metabolism, a process further enhanced as you gain more lean muscle. In addition, our fitness trainers work with you on an aerobic exercise program to burn fat and increase your metabolic rate. This is done either on equipment such as stairmaster, stationary bicycle, treadmill or elliptical machine or by jogging outdoors. The aim is to sustain the aerobic activity for a minimum of 40 minutes at a time at a moderate intensity of 50 percent to 70 percent of your max heart rate. A personal fitness trainer will help you establish this intensity level and a program of working toward your goal in increments suitable to your current fitness level.

Your diet and aerobic programs will be the cornerstones of your fat loss plan. They are created by your fitness trainer only with you in mind and based on your current condition, goals, your schedule, lifestyle and simply, what will work FOR YOU.

Spot Reduction of Fat
You must remember when embarking upon a fat loss campaign that spot reduction of fat is not possible. Your body gains and loses fat by way of its unique genetic programming. Unfortunately experience and research shows that the first-acquired, and usually largest, fat deposit areas are the last places that our bodies loose fat. So if your holding a lot of fat in your mid-section or in your thighs, that will likely be the last place you loose it. But don't despair, you WILL lose it. Sticking with it is the ticket. To help you do this, your personal fitness trainer also provides motivation and creates a structured program that helps anchor you through a sustained effort.
