Numbers DO Sometimes Lie


There is such a thing as being 'Skinny Fat'.  A low number on the scale doesn't always correlate to a better state of health.  When you're looking for results, the number on the scale shouldn't be the determining factor  of whether your program is working or not.  How your clothes fit, your blood pressure, your resting heart rate, cholesterol numbers and other 'true health' factors should tell you whether your fitness program is working.  I trained a client who came to me after about 6 months and said she was upset because she hadn't lost any significant amount of weight.  But when we went over the other changes - her frame of mind changed - she went from a size 8 to a size 4; her body fat had decreased from over 30% to just over 20%; when she started training with me she struggled to chest press 10lb dumbbells for 3 sets of 10 reps and now was pumping 25lb dumbbells for 3 to 4 sets of 15.  That put a smile on her face.  Just got to put everything in perspective, right?

Alright - just a bit of HIIT today - same as yesterday, 5 rounds, get it done then enjoy your weekend.
