Q. Ali I want to lose the extra fat around my waist and my hip/butt area, I am a 36 year old female with 2 kids and go to the gym 2 times a week and do my two aerobic classes and one abdominal class but it does not seem to be helping, please help me.

A. I am so glad you asked this is a question I get so many times from women just like you that need to understand what they want to happen with their bodies and the actions they take are not going to help them achieve what they want.

However, the ladies keep trudging away at those aerobic classes and abdominal classes hoping they will lose the specific areas on their bodies they want to target. OK, let me handle this so I make myself clear I want all ladies from here to Mars listen to what I am about to say; You cannot spot reduce, you cannot change one area by doing exercises just for that area, you cannot lose the fat around the stomach by doing only crunches or sit ups, you cannot lose the fat in the butt/hip by doing only exercises for those areas!

There I have stated the truth and women around the Universe are now looking like a deer caught in the headlights because that is the look I get whenever I inform women of this physiological fact.

When you work a specific area let’s use the abdominal area for example, you work and work those muscles with hundreds of crunches, but that area is a small muscle group, so the muscle group is one of six major muscle groups. So you have worked those abs hard but the other major muscle groups have done nothing and thus your fat burning mechanism, the metabolism, is just a little higher because you have only work one small muscle group.

You have to work your entire body engaging the major muscle groups (chest, shoulders, triceps & biceps, back, hamstring, quadriceps, with the same intensity you worked your abdominal muscle group and the fat burning engine now turns on. Now do this on a consistent basis and you will start to see drops in size in the areas you are looking for but only because of the full body work you have done.

If you want to get to the specific area start at your head and finish with your toes and then the areas in between will start to respond, work on just those areas and you will be working in vain.

Q. You spoke of being muscular, lean and healthy, so how do I go about achieving those 3 things being 37 yrs old and out of shape?

A. Well as I discussed it takes a lot of hard work to achieve that type of fitness model physique but as always there are exceptions to the rule. As George Bernard Shaw said; “Youth is wasted on the Young”, in this case meaning most young people that are active will sport very lean, muscular bodies accompanied by six packs.

Then there are the genetically blessed, some people can eat badly, drink badly and stay lean and muscular without doing much of anything even after passing that golden demographic of 18-24 yrs old. Then there are the rest of us that after passing those years have to work harder as we age.

Now to get to the question at hand, in order to re-shape your body whatever your individual goal is you must employ three principles; Cardiovascular Endurance Training, which are movements that are aerobic in nature such as brisk walking, jogging, running, biking, swimming, try to stick to activities that are rhythmic in nature for this specific purpose.

Resistance Training, the most common being weight training of some sort or  resistant bands, weights, kettlebells, heavy rocks, whatever objects you want to use that is provide resistance will work.

The third principle is Nutrition, this of course being the hardest of the three for most of people not just here in our country but the world. It is another point to show people are basically the same all over the world, we all have problems eating correctly in the face of being tempted by the Corporate World of fast, easy and unhealthy foods.

For the quest of losing bodyfat, creating more muscle, re-shaping the flab to fabulous you must use all three principles together for a consistent period of time. The timeline is not that like you see on the infomercials, 60 seconds, 3 days, or 2 weeks. Unfortunately it will take a little more time on your part, depending on your starting point and what you are trying to achieve. However, if losing weight happens to be one of those goals then shoot for 1- 1.5 lb per week as the ideal goal and if you lose more than that amount great but if not stay the course and let your body do its work.

These principles are time tested and approved; they have worked for me and my clients for many years and will continue to work long after all the hype and sizzle of trends and fad products looking to seduce you with false hopes.

As a personal trainer I give free consultations for people that have an interest in improving their health and fitness level. Many people come to me that have health problems they would like to correct, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, borderline diabetes, chronic overweight problems and the king of kings that last 15- 20 pounds of bodyfat  they want eliminated. 

So many people are completely confused on how to go about achieving their goals but there is also an air of delusion amongst the masses when it comes to looking good. Now we all know when you look good you feel good and people want to feel fitness model good. They come to me thinking that if they go to the gym three times a week and eat healthy then their body will morph into the next cover one of those glossy magazine covers of the Fitness Genre. Then I have to introduce them to reality unfortunately.

Firstly, exercising 3 times a week and eating “healthy” are ideal to live a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of multiple diseases, if the majority of Americans followed this there would be no Health Care Crisis.
 
 To enter the world of the fitness model, six pack, rippling definition is another level all together and because of misinformation and the quick sound byte type articles using fitness models as the picture gives people the wrong expectations. It is personal trainers around the nation that have to bring people to the harsh reality of the six pack minority.

Exercising 3 times a week for good health versus exercising 6 days for muscular lean body mass is the equivalent of driving a Toyota Camry versus a Porsche.  Eating healthy and eating to lose bodyfat is like Venus and Mars the two shall never met. Many people become frustrated because they tell me about exercising and eating healthy but not losing the weight, then when I examine their workout routine and food log the Toyota, Porsche, Venus, and Mars appear in order. 

People feel that their workout time is enough to get the body they want, then I am left to inform them for the type of body they want it takes anywhere from 2-3 more workout sessions per week and another 10 hours of cardio work per week.

Then people start to see the horizon of the fitness elite, lots of discipline, lots of time sacrificed from busy lives to reach their goal, whether it is to compete in an IronMan, ride a bike 100 miles, or to win a fitness competition.

I try to turn people’s attention away from looking like a fitness model to experiencing something new and different like a Douthalon and then training for the event and the side affects are always beneficial to the person’s appearance, thus when you look good you feel good.

The New Year has come and gone and by now most people World Wide have given up on the resolution to lose weight, drop that dress size, bring the belt notches in by two, and wear those “skinny jeans” again.
This happens because for some reason when making a resolution concerning improving one’s health or re-shaping their body people feel that because they want it so badly that it should just happen as if they are entitled to this desire.
I find it an interesting phenomenon, I want this and therefore it should just happen for me simply because.
What happens is many times the body is not aware of your grand plan to lose weight or drop that dress size, and frankly the body doesn’t really care. The mind has to stay motivated and the mind must control the body and stay on the course of what you have decided to do to improve your health, fitness, or re-shape your body. The mind controls the body and you control the mind, but if you allow the body to run things it will gladly control the mind and then the body will control you, now did you get all of that?
One example of this happens when people just eat things and they are not even hungry, it is there and not even thinking about it people will eat just because the food is there, pay attention and stay diligent to what you are eating, try not to live to eat but try to eat to live.
Here is something I say all the time and you may have read it from me before “If this were easy than everyone would do it.”
It is not easy but you must understand do not look for results in the first 6 weeks of starting any new exercise program or lifestyle change.
The body sometimes takes longer and doesn’t want to cooperate with your timetable. If you are changing the habits, actions, and mind set that lead you to be overweight, unhealthy, then just follow your new found lifestyle and every thing else will fall into place.

Q. Ali now that I am working out with a trainer what diet would you recommend?

A. Congratulations on working out and choosing a personal trainer to help you accomplish your goal. Now the diet question, which should you choose?  You should choose none, absolutely, positively, none because diets are temporary solutions for temporary challenges.

Think of it this way if someone said you have to be 20 lbs lighter in twelve weeks and maintain the weight for an additional 8 weeks and we will pay you 2 million dollars do you think you could do that? I am willing to bet you and many more like you could find a way to accomplish that goal for the payment being offered and thus the “motivation” for the actor, supermodel, athlete, entertainer etc.

Now if you want to lose weight to keep it off you must first realize what in your lifestyle needs to be changed and then move to implement the changes needed. For many years prior generations rationalized this on various wives tales such as; well the older you are the more weight you gain, when you stop exercising your muscles turn to fat, once you have kids you lose your figure and gain weight. All of these examples are hogwash pure and simple, but rationalization is powerful in the human psyche.

Do not turn to the diets whatever they may be, if you peel away the skin of what the diet is actually they are all pretty much the same thing. You will never see a diet that consist of ice cream, pizza, chocolate cake, key lime pie, snickers, macaroni and cheese, candied sweet potatoes, Whoppers, milk shakes and French Fries to name a few items on any diet plan.

Instead try this diet: Exercise daily with plentiful helpings of cardio vascular exercise, add a few days per week of resistance exercise, go easy on the salt, eliminate the alcohol, reduce the dairy, add some stretching and give the body rest and watch this “diet” change your life.

                                                              January 08
Q: I have made a resolution to get back into shape this year, what should be my first step and how do I keep my resolution.
 

A: First step is to find type of exercise, and/or activity you want to do to get back in shape.  I am of the mindset that “all roads lead to Rome”, meaning that there are a lot of choices for people that want to get back in shape so pick one that you like.

 There are specialized studios for personal training,  spinning, cardio/aerobic classes, yoga, pilates, boxing, and groups for running, biking,  and swimming and large fitness centers offer a little bit of all things mentioned. So look around and decide on one or several types of activates.

For example; I weight train,  teach a bootcamp class on the beach,  bike ride,  jog with my dog,  run road races 5k, 10k and Marathons, duothalons, take yoga and spinning classes. A variety of activity and exercise, some people may only do one thing to get in shape or some people may do a couple things, but as long as we all reach the same goal of being healthy, then all roads lead to “Rome”. 

Next create the time in your weekly routine to allow for exercise. Everyone is busy and has no time for anything, I got it, however you must find time as your time to invest in your health and fitness.

Please be realistic in your new resolution of getting back in shape. Let me say a couple things to you that I say to all my clients:
1. If you are looking to get in “great shape” i.e.( fitness model type), lose 30 lbs or get back to your 32” inch waist from your present 40” inch waist in 6 weeks, then let me give you the number of a plastic surgeon who might be able to help you.
2. If being in great shape and maintaining a healthy lifestyle was easy, everyone would do it.

Look at your new found resolution as a learning process to change your individual lifestyle habits you have created to change them for what you accept as better choices for you, no one else. This is a slow and steady process constantly evolving. You cannot have a quick fix concerning the human body that has taken 5-10 years to create, if it took you five years to gain the extra 25 lbs. why would you think you can lose the 20lbs. in 4 weeks and keep it off?

Ok now the Holidays are in full swing and the last thing MOM ( Most of America), is concerned with is their exercise regiment. As you know from previous articles one should just decrease their workout frequency and time per sessions but not stop all together.

I would like to address another subject matter with the new year just days away. Gym Etiquette. This is not the same as Miss Manners but I will be the authority in this matter having spent most of my adult life inside various fitness facilities.

You have joined the gym and having received your instruction on how to operate the machines correctly. Here are some pitfalls to avoid:

1. You do not own the equipment. People often will get on a machine and then sit there, look around, wait until they feel the urge to do their next set. This is bad etiquette. When you finish your set you should get off the machine even if you don’t think anyone is waiting for it, because more times than not the person is eyeing you to see when you finish so they can come and get one of their sets in and then get off for you to continue your sets.
2. Whatever weights you use for anything, put the weights back. The first gym I trained at was owned by a former Green Beret, whom also taught me self-defense, however, if he ever saw anyone who did not put weights back immediately after they finished with them, he would tell them to leave right there on the spot. Needless to say his gym was spotless, no weights left on any machine or the floor, ever. If you don’t have the discipline to put your weights back you will never have the discipline to achieve anything with your fitness goals.
3. If you sweat on a machine, wipe your sweat off. The cardio machines get a lot of people sweating on them it is not only courteous but common sense hygiene to wipe down the machine with whatever disinfectant the gym provides for you.
I will continue with this list for the next issue to keep all of you on the right side of Gym Etiquette so no matter what facility you go to in the World you will be informed on how to get along.
