Don't Make This Weight Loss Mistake!

The other day, I met a man in the health club who had lost about 80 pounds through calorie restriction dieting. The 80 lost pounds is great but he had a problem---he had lots of loose skin hanging on his body. Why? He did no resistance training. That left him with high body fat and embarrassing loose skin (skinny-fat).

Commercialized weight loss programs lead people to focus too much on weight loss and not enough on fat loss. Health should be priority numero uno for you!

A healthy body is one that is "lean and toned."
You can achieve the "lean and toned" body with regular weight training (including bodyweight training) and interval cardio. It may take a little longer but you will love the results. And, the results will be permanent if you continue to exercise regularly.

This man has now begun to lift weights and hopefully he can shed the loose skin (body fat). If you're trying to get in shape, take a three-pronged approach---good nutrition, weight training (3 days a week) and interval cardio (3-4 times a week). This approach will give you the hard body you want. And, you will be healthy!
