Some gyms have devices that are specifically designed for you to use when you watch television. Instead you should be Grunting, Sweating…look everybody knows when they are working out and what we’ve got now is a situation where we have been allowed to fool ourselves because it’s in the interest of the industry to maintain that charade.
Effective exercise is hard! And that’s all there is to it! It’s like anything else, if its easy, it’s probably not effective. The fitness industry is predicated on machine use because it’s only cost effective to train their staff on the use of those machines…in other words, it is cost prohibitive for any gym to hire a strength coach to teach every customer in the gym to do these barbell lifts, those of course being the most effective stimulus for results.
It is possible to lose 20 lbs. of body fat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or drug/supplement regimen. I've seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. The more times you perform the same workout the easier it becomes and the less results fitness results are achieved. Performing a wide range of movements and workouts continues to deliver results because your body has to work hard to adapt. Examples of this are aerobics classes, kickboxing classes. They are hard the first time, but become easier as you become more consisting yielding less results.
In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 180 lbs. to 165 lbs., while adding about 10 lbs. of muscle, which means I've lost about 25 lbs. of fat. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics).
Good Coaching Measuring your performance during each work out lets you see your improved performance. Good Coaching ensures your are using the correct technique which helps your get the most results while reducing the risk of injury. We incorporate a few base line routines that occasionally repeat themselves so you can measure and observe your increasing fitness.
High Intensity Low Impact Workouts Performing the exercise routines in the least amount of time possible while still maintaining safe and correct posture. High intensity maximizes your time and constantly improves your fitness levels. If aerobic exercise, and what we mean by aerobic exercise is long, slow distance...if that really worked, things like walking or jogging on the treadmill, moving on the elliptical, using the stair-climber or stepmill – then everyone in the gym that is on that equipment, would not be fat! Right? And yet what precisely you see is that people that need to lose weight never ever get it done that way. The reason for that is muscle burns fat for fuel and if you ultimately want to effect the amount of bodyfat you’ve got then you have to affect your muscle mass. And the only way to affect your muscle mass is by doing exercise that challenges the ability of that muscle mass to produce force. (HINT - it's called resistance training)
