Since I first became a Personal Fitness Trainer and opened my first Personal Fitness Training and Strength Conditioning studio until now, one thing remains clear-everybody is different and has unique factors that must be considered when creating truly personal fitness training programming. In other words, a "one size fits all" fitness training program simply won't work! My 3 step process creates Charleston Personal Fitness Training Programming that personalizes the training process.
After 15 years of experience, several certification programs and
returning back to the University setting to earn a
Masters in Exercise and Sport Science,
I am ready to reveal EXACTLY what it will take YOU to get results!
STEP 1: The single most important consideration in determining how to create a fitness training program that will work for YOU is an assessment of YOUR metabolism. We are Charleston's original provider of the Metabolic Profile Assessment Test - a fitness test using VO2 technology to determine YOUR unique metabolism and dietary needs.
So what exactly is metabolism and why does it matter?
Understanding Nutrition / Caloric Needs: Simply stated, metabolism is the process of breaking food down into the energy your body needs to keep you alive as well as the energy you burn during daily lifestyle and activity. This is where most people come up with the idea that if you simply eat fewer calories than you burn, you'll lose weight. The problem is that the weight you lose in the long run won't be from fat! Stay tuned, this is where it gets a bit tricky...
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) (Synonomous to Basal Metabolic Rate) is the amount of energy burned at rest! The energy burned at rest is used for the functioning of the vital organs, such as the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, sex organs, MUSCLES and skin.
Knowing the precise amount of calories YOUR body "burns" per day at REST
is the first "secret" in putting together a successful eating program.
The goal is NOT to determine the amount of calories you SHOULDN'T EAT, its to determine the amount of calories you MUST eat! Resting Metabolic Rate tells us how many calories we need per day just to survive! It makes perfect sense when you think about it, doesn't it? Otherwise, why not just stop eating altogether until you achieve your desired weight? The answer is because we need to eat to live. And in the case of effective weight loss coupled with precision personal fitness training programming, its not enough to simply eat to survive-you must eat to thrive! (By the way, have you ever considered the first three letters in the word diet? D-I-E...)
HINT: Increasing the amount of lean muscle mass on the body requires more quality energy coming in to the body through the foods we eat.
STEP 2: Develop Precision Personal Fitness Training Programming based upon YOUR unique metabolism and physiology. Once we determine metabolic needs, we get to work on how to burn FAT OFF YOUR BODY!
Understanding PROPER Training Intensities: Now that you understand that your body REQUIRES a certain amount of energy per day (through the foods YOU eat) to survive, let alone THRIVE, we need to get back to the main point, METABOLISM! While it is true you need to burn more calories than you consume, you have learned the answer is NOT to eat less - the answer is to BURN MORE!
Knowing the precise amount of calories YOUR body "burns" per day through exercise at varying levels of intensity is the next "secret" in putting together a successful eating program.
Then, and ONLY then, can you determine
how many calories YOU NEED TO EAT per day based upon YOUR metabolism and YOUR goal!
