Getty ImagesIf I had a nickel for every time a female client told me they didn’t want to lift weights for fear of “getting bulky,” let’s just say I would have lots of nickels. While, yes, there is a purpose for dieting and cardio, the truth is that lean muscle cannot survive on the treadmill alone. In my experience, weight training still seems to be the biggest-kept secret for fat loss.You should know that unless you’re taking supplements to enhance muscle growth you won’t get bulky, because your body simply doesn’t have the hormones to get there naturally. Cardio only burns calories while you’re performing it, but strength training has what is known as the afterburn effect.

When I was in my twenties, I was a big fan of ‘cheat days’. Every Sunday my roommate and I would order twin large ‘meat lovers’ pizzas, and eat them while watching hockey.We’d follow this up with ice cream and those amazing Homestyle two-bite brownies that come in that brown paper package, all while drinking two chocolate Myoplex protein shakes.At first, eating this amount of food was VERY difficult, but after a couple of months we became used to it, and eventually we added in a foot long subway sandwich with extra meat as our ‘premeal’.Truthfully, this was a lot of food for me to eat in one day. I know there are true big eaters out there who probably scoff at the fact that we SPLIT Twin large pizzas, (since they could probably eat both on their own) but that’s the point I’m getting at…I am NOT a big eater – not by any means.

Obesity markedly increases risk for diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and many cancers, all of which can lead to premature death. Once a person becomes obese, it is very difficult to return to and maintain a normal weight. All of the widely-promoted diets (low-fat, low-carbohydrate, calorie-counting and so forth) have failed to stop the incredible increase of obesity in North America over the last 50 years.Eating regular meals five days a week and markedly reducing calories for the other two days may be the best way to lose weight and keep it off. This approach to weight loss is called “intermittent fasting.” We have some good data on how effective this diet regimen is for animals, but we are just starting to see the results of research on humans. Most of the studies on humans do not ask participants to avoid all food on their “fast” days.

Nesta Monday, September 23rd, 2013 Quick Note from Robb:Howdy folks! We normally run testimonials on Mondays and today is no exception, but the format is a bit different. My good friend and former client of NorCal Strength & Conditioning is celebrating the release of her album, so this is at once both a testimonial and a bit of “getting the word out” about her album. Nesta was one of our earliest clients and she has a number of remarkable stories of both overcoming health issues AND being a top tier athlete

KB USA KettleBellsIf the masses are flocking to a specific trend then it goes without saying that there are also companies supplying equipment to fuel the fire.Needless to say, the high intensity interval training, and, directly related, endurance event craze, has spurred new and exciting equipment. Both well-established industry veterans and newcomers to the dance have provided the oxygen, kindling and fuel necessary to keep the blaze roaring. And you can certainly guess that the bottom line is burning up.“Sales have definitely been growing and we have been able to reach out to new market segments,” said Amber Shaputis, Marketing director at MoveStrong Functional Fitness Equipment.
