Wt Loss Basics

Hi,My name is Mitch Mohs. I would like to share with you the 3 areas that a person may need to lose weight. I would love to help you get started even beyond this post. Feel free to e-mail me at mmohs@lifetimefitness.com.
1. Good Nutrition. The better you eat the easier weight loss can be. If you are not losing the weight you set out to do your nutrition is the first suspect. Real food is important, like fruit, vegetables, lean protein, and water, not McDonald’s Subway and boxed food. The more organic the better it is for you. We have Nutrition Coaches here at the clubs to help you one way or another. Ask them about the Resting Metabolic Rate test we have. Nutrition is the most often over looked area. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Getting a bit of help for the pros will go a long way.
2. "Intense" Strength Training. Arm curls, triceps extension, crunches and thigh machines are not going to cut it. Most folks take it too easy on themselves when they do weight training. Weight loss will happen if you get serious. Multi-joint exercises like Push ups, Row, Lunge and Squat are a great start. These exercises will increase your metabolism and get that toned muscle you are looking for. If you get into a great circuit program you can burn 400-1200 calories lifting weights in an hour. Lifting weights will give you LASTING RESULTS in weight loss. Don’t just lose weight –keep it off by getting into a lifting program.This is the Personal Trainers realm. We have a bunch of trainers that do this all. Get involved by asking for a Fit Point Assessment or consultation. We have a multitude of ways to serve you.
3.- Cardio is third. This is where most people start and end. Cardio alone will most likely not get you lean. Cardio has its place and needs to be done. One wishing to lose weight should look into the Cardio point test. The Cardio point test will lay out a great plan that is customized for you all based on Heart Rate. Some people are too intense Some are going too easySteady state cardio is not as effective as intervals. Ask a Personal Trainer for more information.Get a plan that works!If you are missing 1 or more of these 3 areas of Weight Loss you are not alone.
