I'm not sure what Walkmans, Ipods, Reebok Pumps or Vibram Five Fingers have to do with Weight Loss or Fat Loss programming, but they each represented change and with the close of the 1st Quarter or Winter Quarter and the start of the 2nd Quarter or Spring Quarter, so does Change Your Body Boot Camps programming. 

 

 

Happy Friday Friend,

 

How's your training going so far this month?  Would you reply to this email because I'd like to know?  :)

 

 

Anyways while on the subject of training, here is the Overview for the 2nd Quarter of 2011.

 

 

 

Quarterly Overview

 

 

This quarter the goal is to switch from primarily weight loss based programming to fat loss based programming, but before I explain further we need to establish a baseline understanding of how Change Your Body Boot Camps is structured.  Overall it’s designed to take out of shape, overweight people to their best shape, in the fastest time possible while making it sustainable, fun and safe. 

 

BASELINE UNDERSTANDING

 

• We use light weights -compared to, what you might be able to lift for 1 set of 5 reps, what you might want to carry to class or what you might find in a gym (125 lb dumbbells)- which prevents you from building muscle at a faster rate, which can increase your metabolism to a greater rate, but also increase your chances of gaining unwanted bulk or size, but as always, this depends on what you do in the kitchen.

 

• We take minimal to no rest, which prevents you from recovering fully, so you can’t lift maximum weights and therefore reduces your chance of putting on a lot of muscle, gaining size or bulk that you may not want, moving slower and becoming sorer than you ever thought possible.  (yes it’s possible to be more sore than you’ve been in class)

 

• We choose total body workouts which burn more calories during a workout and after compared to split routines like upper body, lower body, chest & back, arms, legs & shoulders, etc…and therefore helps you to lose weight & get in your best shape faster.

 

• We run around, which is really bad if you want to keep weight on, put on more weight or build more muscle.  Expending a lot of calories is bad if those are your goals. 

 

• We give you outside of class cardio goals which are counterintuitive if you want to build muscle and gain weight. 

 

• We stretch, roll and do corrective exercises to keep you loose, healthy and elastic, which reduce bulk and makes for long lines and long muscles. 

 

• We teach nutrition for weight loss, for fat loss and for performance and muscle building goals, which can complement at least one of your goals.

 

Now that we’ve done that, why was the 1^st quarter about weight loss programming and why is the 2nd quarter about fat loss programming, what’s the difference and will I still lose weight if I want to?
