As a personal trainer I am constantly assessing a persons body fat % which is 1 of 5 components of a persons’ health-related fitness. To achieve an ideal body weight through balancing your body composition (fat to muscle ratio, again 1 of the 5 parts of health-related fitness) try combination training with your other components of fitness every time your workout, exercise, or perform physical activity.
No matter where your starting point is with your life and condition these are the first steps to identify the number one way to lose weight, influence your metabolism!! The best way to fire up your calorie burning furnace is through combination style exercises that take you from training cardio, to strength & endurance. By focusing on 3 of your 5 components your body has nothing to do but increase that heart rate to fire up that METABOLISM.
Be sure Set a goal that is both reasonable and specific (results can be measured). Actually write it down and check daily what have you done to accomplish it. Usually when combination training is being practiced it can be accomplished in less time, basically your intensity level is so high a 20-30 min. bout of vigorous activity can drive home results much faster then most peoples typically low to moderate intensity for an hour....
A base assessment of body fat should be conducted in the beginning, this measurement (NO SCALE for WEIGHT, bad reference point and doesn’t determine a person’s health) should give a body fat % & that number will decrease over the course of becoming more physically active. This is also the reference point for results for the future. For body weight their is no quick fixes, truly the solution is a lifestyle that supports as much movement as possible. Making daily choices that have positive outcomes will continue the habits necessary to live well.
