Training for Weight Loss or Fat Loss
April 22, 2011
If your goal is to train for weight loss, then there are a few things that you need to get right and that is to determine if you are training for either or. Training for weight loss means to reduce your weight on the scales or on the other hand, training for fat loss is training to reduce the percentage body fat that you have on your body.
For some folks, both mean the same thing but to a personal trainer or a trainer the distinction has to made clear. Let us first look at the Body Mass Index which is what someone will use to determine if they are going to be obese, overweight or normal. This measurement will take into account bodyweight in kilograms and also your height in metres. Here is the truth about this index. There is a grey area where this scale does not become relevant to you anymore if you have been exercising regularly and been strength training.
The media has made the public very aware and conscious about our weight which is a good thing, but it should not be an obsession when you are already training and have been training regularly. When you do strength train, you will build muscle. Muscle is by far a more dense and solid tissue. Fat has more volume per kilogram of muscle. Both weights are the same, 1kg of muscle weighs exactly the same as 1kg of fat. It is just the amount of volume or space that muscle takes up compared to fat which is significantly lower.
It is not the weight that should be your concern, but rather the fat instead. The moment you begin to build muscle, you will become more dense and heavier if not more than before. Bodybuilder BMIs indicate that they are overweight and obese!
Here are some tips on how to lose more fat rather than weight:
- Lift the big heavy weights
- Train at an intensity that is higher that what you normally train at
- Vary up your program and do what is most uncomfortable to you
- Find a good trainer who will motivate and push you to your limits
- Go hard or not at all
This is the raw way, no frills on how to lose fat. If you do not train like this, you will not ever succeed in your little piss-farting around in the gym with the ‘do lots with light weights’ attitude. You might as well go watch a movie or have a coffee.
Get real, get serious and train hard.
Real results means hard work.
If you are going to take it easy, do not even bother.

3 Tips for Winter Training
April 19, 2011
The winter months are upon us. The days are cooling down and the darkness lingers a lot longer. In some rare occurrences, it does actually get a bit wet in Perth. But that should not stop us from getting our daily dose of exercise.
Weather should not disrupt our training programs. Some may opt to head indoors to a sheltered place where they can sweat. Gyms do tend to fill up during the cold winter months.
Here are some tips to keep you exercising in the cold winter months.
Quick tip #1: Find a mobile personal ball buster – cough- personal trainer who can travel to where you are and train you whenever you need. This would certainly allow more variation to your training if your gym gets too packed during the winter months.
Quick Tip #2: Find a Personal Trainer with letters after their names. Some examples are Cert III, or Cert IV are the bare minimums. Others may be BSc, MSc in Sports Science or Human Movement, ASCA, ACE or CHEK.
Quick Tip #3: Look at yourself in the mirror and drink a cup of cement. What you feel is only a state of mind that is learned from a previous experience. Change the way you perceive the stimulus and you give yourself no reason to back out of your training program.
