Just reviewing the Five factors it takes to effect body composition change,

Component One: Proper Food Intake

Energy in Vs. Energy out, your body requires a certain amount of energy, if you are wanting to lose body fat you must at least give your body what it needs in calories in, if not it will not let go of your body’s savings account…FAT.

Factor Two: Proper Cardio

Maximize your time and get the most for the least. Really you do not need to be on a piece of cardio for hours, unless your going to be running a marathon. Learn about Heart Rate monitors from your local trainer…or me:-)

Factor Three: Proper Supplementation

This is a dirty industry filled with marketing and not enough science. Please ensure you are taking a good multi-vitamin. You can not get the nutrients needed through food and need them when your exercising. Make sure the supplement you are taking is made with GMP’s (good manufacturing practices). If you want go to www.myapex.com and you can get purity, potency with the same guarantee pharmaceuticals have.

Factor Four: Proper Resistance Training

 When approaching a resistance training program, it should address your muscle imbalances and postural deviations caused from what you do for work and prior injuries. When you are set in one position for over an extended period of time you need to address this in your workout plan. Your approach should be lengthening the tight muscles and strengthening the weak, if not, you risk making a better looking more messed up version of what you already exist to be.

Factor Five: Proper Professional Assistance

I always recommend meeting with a qualified professional who understands the basics of human movement. when choosing a trainer, I recommend one who carries a license with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) www.nasm.org . As always, please check to make sure any trainer you choose has a current license, NOT an expired one.
