Lose 362% More Fat With a Personal Trainer

Check out this recent study, published in a respected peer-reviewed journal:

Supervised exercise versus non-supervised exercise for reducing weight in obese adults.
Nicolaï SP et al
J Sports Med Phys Fitness. 2009 Mar;49(1):85-90.


If you aren't interested in reading the study yourself and just want the nitty-gritty, here's the lowdown.  People who exercised with supervision lost 13.4 lbs. of body fat vs. only 3.7 lbs. for people who exercised without supervision with access to the same equipment.  This loss occurred over a 4-month period, and neither group received nutrition advice.  Imagine if they had!  The group that had a trainer/coach watching them lost 362% more fat in the same amount of time!  What a difference!  So if you're that person who thinks you're going to lose weight "just fine on your own," think again.  There's only a small percent of the population with the ability to accomplish that, and we're talking the 99th percentile.  Another example are those great lookin' athletes, fitness models, and celebrities.  Guess which group these people are categorized as?  The supervised group.  No wonder they look so dang good!  So if you ever needed "scientific proof" to hire a trainer, there it is.


On a side note, there was another study some years ago that showed people who exercised under supervision exerted 30% more effort during their workout, due to encouragement and instruction.  Seems like someone who exerts 30% more effort would see better results.  Makes sense to me.


So if you're done making excuses, and are ready to see results, it's time to get in touch with me.


Talk to you soon!
