| PERSONAL TRAINING |
| Are you looking to shed extra weight and increase overall body tone, resulting in a slimmer, more athletic look? I can help you get these results. My program involves various aerobic activities and resistance training. Aerobic activities will help burn away extra fat and make your heart stronger. Resistance training will help build lean body mass. Lean body mass increases the basal metabolic rate, meaning that the leaner you are the faster you will burn those extra calories instead of storing them. I must point out that my programs will not provide spot fat reduction but rather an overall body weight loss. You must exercise at least three to four times a week and follow a healthy diet in order to see results. |

| Weight Loss and Body Fat Reduction |
| I prefer you to think in terms of "fat loss" instead of "weight loss." The aim of getting in shape is how you look and how healthy you are. The goal should be to get leaner. This means changing your body composition so that you have less fat and more muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat per cubic measurement, absolute weight loss should not be the sole measure of your success. The important results should be how your body looks, how your clothes fit and how you feel. A visible six pack of abs is only accomplished by both building the abdominal muscles and shedding the fat that covers them up. |
| |
| Calories |
| The basis for losing body fat is using more calories (an energy value of food), in daily metabolism, activity and exercise than you take in through eating and drinking. It takes about 3500 calories above those utilized to gain one pound of fat. The reverse is also the case. Using up 3500 calories above those taken into your body will cause a reduction of one pound of fat. Therefore, to effectively lose fat, the bottom line is to restrict your calorie intake and increase your calorie output. |
| |
| Burning Fat Through Aerobic Exercise |
| The diet itself helps to increase your calorie burning by boosting your metabolism, a process further enhanced as you gain more lean muscle. In addition I work with you on an aerobic exercise program to burn fat and increase your metabolic rate. This is done either on equipment such as stairmaster, stationary bicycle, treadmill or elliptical machine or by jogging outdoors. The aim is to sustain the aerobic activity for a minimum of 40 minutes at a time at a moderate intensity of 50 percent to 70 percent of your max heart rate. As your personal fitness trainer I will help you establish this intensity level and a program of working toward your goal in increments suitable to your current fitness level. |
| Your diet and aerobic programs will be the cornerstones of your fat loss plan. They are created by your fitness trainer only with you in mind and based on your current condition, goals, your schedule, lifestyle and simply, what will work FOR YOU. |

| Obesity |
| The number of Americans who are profoundly over-fat, or obese, is on the rise. This affliction/disease, affects about 50 million people in this country. Health risks arising from obesity include, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, and prostate, colon and breast cancer. Obese individuals often suffer both social isolation and institutional discrimination. The market is flooded with weight loss pills and products aimed at this population. Some of these items work, often negligible, but most do not. |
| The fight against fat is not an easy one, especially for chronically affected people. It is a long, tough battle. There is no question that the development of a new healthy eating and fitness lifestyle is immensely helpful in winning this fight. |
| |
| Toning and Building Muscle |
| A client will often specify to a fitness trainer whether he or she wants to "tone" or to "build" muscle. Usually, but not always, women want to "tone," while men want to "build." Each person seems to have a pretty good idea of what kind of physique she or he wants. |
| Toning and building muscle, however, are basically the same physiologic process differing mainly in degree. |
| In the context of the body's normal functioning, "muscle tone" simply means that the muscle fibers are being stimulated by the central nervous system. But in common use, the designation "toned" pertains to the appearance of a musculature that is hard, as opposed to flaccid , and noticeable, but not overly so. In this respect a toned body implies a lean body, one low in body fat and showing some muscle definition and shape. By "building" muscle it is usually meant, getting as much muscle as possible up to and including the bodybuilder's look. |
| As I stated earlier, however, the same basic physical process is necessary whether you want to tone or build muscle or whether you want to shape particular body parts or increase strength. To achieve any of these goals involves progressive resistance training. |
| |
| Progressive Resistance Training |
| This type of training employs short duration exercises using resistance (free weights, machines, cables, bands, bodyweight) until the muscle or muscle group is fatigued. In each subsequent workout session, the intensity is increased slightly either by trying to sustain the exercise longer, by decreasing the rest time between sets, or by increasing the resistance. Gradually your muscles grow and become stronger as they adapt to increased challenges. This process continues throughout your workout program. |
| The progressive resistance training method has been successfully used and developed over decades by bodybuilders, weightlifters, and athletes generally. It produces a steady gain in muscle size and strength while lowering the risk of injury. As your personal fitness trainer I will employ this training method. I will start you off with resistance commensurate with your current level of fitness and know just how much to intensify the workouts with each session, based upon your progress. |
| |
| Weight Training |
| Since most resistance training involves weights, it is also called weight training. (This type of training fits into the general category of anaerobic exercise because the muscle movement doesn't rely on the utilization of oxygen for fuel.) Weight training is used not only for toning and bodybuilding, but also for sport-specific training (most obviously for the sports of weightlifting and powerlifting), and for injury rehabilitation. Each of these endeavors applies weight training in a different way. |
| |
| Genetics |
| We should point out that each of us is born with a set of genetics that determine our uniqueness. This includes our body's skeletal-muscular structure and our propensity for retaining bodyfat. Some people don't gain much bodyfat no matter how much they eat or how little they exercise. Others are on the treadmill four days a week, just to keep fat levels constant. Some people gain muscle very easily or are able to develop particular body parts with ease. Others struggle hard to add a centimeter to their biceps. |
| None of us can change our basic genetic makeup. But you can work hard to take your body to its full potential and see dramatic changes regardless of genetic propensity. This is up to you and how willing you are to do the work and make the sacrifices necessary. You will get out of a training program what you put into it. Your personal fitness trainer is there to point you in the right direction and to help you give 110 percent. |

| Benefits of Weight Training |
| In addition to the aesthetic changes to your physique and building strength, weight training has many other benefits including increased bone density, improved endurance and motor performance, strengthening of soft connective tissues (ligaments and tendons), elevated metabolism, lowered risk of sports injury and better functional ability generally. |
| So no more excuses ..... take action NOW. Begin a fitness program now with Carol "Kick Fever" Glasgow. Soon you will be on your way to that lean athletic look you have been dreaming of. Lose weight and build muscle fast. Do it for you, Do it for your health, Do it for life. |
