Throw away your scale!

Over the years I have counseled many clients through Personal Training.  One of the first things I advise them to do is to throw away their scale and buy a cloth tape measure.

Almost everyone fixates on weight as a critical factor in health and fitness.  I will agree that weight is a contributing factor to a person's well-being but it is not the only 'number' that we should be concerned about.

Knowing several bio-factors and how they effect your fitness is critical to understanding where you stand physically and where your next step should be in your quest to improved health and fitness.

I'm referring to not just weight, but BMI - body mass index, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, visceral fat level, blood pressure, resting heart rate, and waist to height ratios.  Most of these are either overlooked or discounted as insignificant to our fitness level by comparison to what our weight is!

Fitness is not about controlling one bio-factor - weight.   it is really about the overall picture that a competent personal trainer can provide through a comprehensive customized fitness and wellness program that is designed specifically for you.

We can do that for you... just give us a call at 707.795.3135 where 'Fit Happens' everyday!
