FREE Holiday Client Appreciation Boot Camp Saturday, December 18th @ 10am
Dear faithful blog reader –
I’d like to personally invite you to a FREE holiday client appreciation boot camp workout on Saturday, December 18th at my new personal training studio in Land Park.
The workout will start at 10:00 am and will last about 30 minutes – all of our current and past clients, their friends and family, newsletter subscribers, blog readers, and Facebook fans are welcome to attend!
I’m holding the workout simply as a client/email subscriber/blog reader/Facebook follower holiday appreciation and to give anyone who hasn’t gotten the chance yet to come over and check out the new facility. But there is one catch: I only have space for 12 folks! And I know this boot camp will fill up fast (the last one like this was full in less than 48 hours). So if you’d like more details and/or you’re ready to sign up, click the link below:

Could Your Bathroom Scale Be Sabotaging Your Fat Loss Efforts?
You were expecting to lose six or eight pounds in the first month (after all, that’s typical for diets you’ve gone on in the past) … but the scale only shows a two pound difference! How could that be?! Before your trainer even starts to take your body fat, you’re feeling discouraged …
But here’s the thing: You shouldn’t. If the #1 factor you pay attention to when you start a fat loss program is your weight, you’re making a big mistake.
However, measuring your progress only by the scale is a bad way to do things. For one, muscle gain can equal weight gain – which is actually good, because more lean mass means an accelerated metabolism and more fat loss in the long run. But in the short term, it can be deceiving.
Now don’t get me wrong: We do monthly weigh-ins with all of our clients – and it is a measure of progress. It’s just a mistake to go only by the scale when measuring results.
P.S. We do monthly body fat testing and circumference measurements as part of all of our Sacramento, CA – based fitness boot camps and personal training programs. For more info – or even if you’d just like to get your body fat tested – contact me here.
