Training twice a week prevents weight gain in women

DateFriday, April 10, 2009 at 4:32PM
Women who lift weights twice a week can prevent or at least slow the
weight gain common in middle age. This is the finding of a two year
study titled The Strong Healthy and Empowered (SHE).

This study followed 164 overweight or obese women from Minnesota who
were 24 to 44 years old. Half of the women participated in supervised
strengthening classes for 16 weeks, and had booster sessions four
times yearly with certified fitness professionals. The control group
received a brochure recommending 30 minutes to an hour of exercise
most days of the week. Neither group was asked to change their diets
while participating in the study.
 Women who lifted weights decreased body fat percentage by 3.7 percent,
while the other group maintained the same body fat. However, the
changes in intra-abdominal fat, which is closely associated with heart
disease and metabolic disturbances, was more pronounced. The women who
did strength training had only a 7 percent in intra-abdominal fat
increase vs. the 21 percent increase in the controls group.

This study shows that strength training can prevent increases in body
fat percentage and limit increases in the fat most closely associated
with heart disease.

Why I love my job

DateThursday, April 2, 2009 at 6:09PM

Nobody wants to exercise with an out-of-shape trainer. Most new clients assume I have some secret work-out that I do on my own. I must hit the gym, they think, an extra hour or two a day to achieve the results I’ve had. 

Wrong. My fitness is just a residual of yours.

That’s why I love these Boot Camps so much. You and I hit the ground running at 7 a.m. and keep our heart rates up and while building lean muscle through my ResistanceCardio™ moves. It’s the perfect way to kick off your busy day, and I know that because I’m there in the trenches with you — doing the work and reaping the benefits. 

If you haven’t joined us for a Boot Camp yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. We have evening and morning sessions, and I guarantee you’ll have the best results of your life with a fun, supportive, motivated group of men and women who have made the commitment to be their best. To look their best. To feel their best. To be unstoppable.
