The Best approach for fat loss

I’ve attached a case study I completed recently with a new client who committed to proper nutrition and training at The Exercise Coach®.

The client is 34 years old and began training with me on December 11, 2008. He completed eight workouts over five weeks. His average workout time was only fifteen minutes. He performed seven or eight closely supervised strength exercise to the point of momentary muscular fatigue.

On January 27th I performed a follow up body-composition using the InBody 230 (see pre and post tests above). After years of trying every body-composition device on the market we have finally found one that we like. The InBody is amzingly accurate anbd reliable.

His results were outstanding. Now, if he just looked at the scale it would have told him that his body-weight did not change. And, he would have been tempted to doubt what he was seeing in the mirror and feeling in his workouts. Thanks to the InBody though we know the whole story.

In just six weeks he built nearly ten pounds of skeletal muscle mass and lost over fourteen pounds of body fat! That's a net shift in body composition of twenty-four pounds in six weeks.

This is a testament to the synergistic effect of combining challenging strength training and good nutrition.

Some of the highlights of the strategies he used include eating adequate amounts of protein and the right kinds of carbohydrates, supplementing with the highest quality fish oil available, using a polyphenol (ie., berry/sea vegetable concentrate) supplement and training hard for just a few minutes each week. Oh ya... I should emphasize that he did no conventional cardio.

One more thing. This client has several previous injuries. He has had ACL re-constrction, has shattered the head of his humerus, and has crushed several bones in his hand and wrist. These past 6 weeks he has trained without a glitch and in fact after 6 weeks says his shoulder feels great.

Not bad, huh?
