Overview
Overview
In True Strength Fat Loss we will focus on increasing overall strength and maintaining lean muscle mass, while simultaneously dropping body fat.
The training program will be built around big, compound movements, such as the squat, deadlift, bench press and overhead press. The nutrition program will be built around the concept of carb cycling, in order to provide the body the energy it needs to recover, and burn more fat as well.
This combination will allow us to increase overall strength, maintain lean mass, while still dropping body fat.
Who Am I?
I always tell everyone, if you had told me 5 years ago that my favorite activity would be lifting weights and that I’d be working as a personal trainer, I would have died of laughter.
But after college, I decided I needed a change. Unhappy with my appearance and my self-confidence, I dove headfirst into the world of health and fitness. Eventually I found strength training, and fell in love with it! Strength training helped me get stronger, increase my self-confidence, and drop 80 pounds over the last 4 years.
Why Strength Train?
In my opinion, strength training will do more for you than any other form of exercise. Strength training will:
- Make you stronger! Strength is the foundation for everything we do, from making everyday tasks easier, to helping you build bigger muscles by lifting more weight, and making athletes better at their sport by increasing their speed and power.
- Maintain and build muscle. Our muscle mass decreases as we age, leading to the risk of falls and injuries. Maintaining and even increasing our muscle mass will help prevent this.
- Help burn fat. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate. The higher your metabolic rate, the more calories you burn.
- Increases flexibility, joint stability, and bone growth. Because of our increasingly sedentary society, our bodies are slowly breaking down. Strength training will help keep the body flexible, correct poor posture, alleviate joint pain, and increase bone density.
AND, in addition to its physical benefits, strength training has immense psychological benefits as well. Physically becoming stronger makes you mentally stronger. Strength training increases your self-confidence. It gives you a feeling of empowerment…that you can do anything. So yes, the physical benefits are great! But the psychological benefits can be even greater!
So, who's ready to get stronger, blast fat, and feel awesome?!
