Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Compry, your PA is correct.

The BMI cannot tell the difference between fat and muscle mass. Neither can it tell the age group of an individual.

I have your problem of sorts,it is more like aquaintances usually express surprise that I seem much bigger in scrubs (shirt) than with my coat.
Of course most people see me dressed a coat.
The weight range between 25 and 45 is not really ideal,but it is more or less adjusted to compensate for projected changes due to metabolic inefficiencies,but this can be postponed and in some cases averted. so if you are at the under 25 weight range at 45 and is healthy it is considered a plus.

Weight Ranges are used to recommend appropriate weights for differing groups of people.[/qb]

According to my personal trainer, this chart does not take muscle mass into consideration. Does anyone have information to prove otherwise?[/qb]

So then Sandi would you agree that folks should concentrate more on how they look and feel and not how much they weigh?

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Esrand2,or whatever you new alias is,why do you seem to be more of a distraction than a positive influence on the board?
I had to go back in your posts to see what is the possible gripe you had with Dr. Dudd.
Don't tell me it is the post from as far back as Oct/Nov 02 that you have not gotten over!!
I can't bellieve it

Don't waste your time and energy,how many times hab=ve you seen Dr.Dudd react to such behavior?

Is this the way you are in your every day life?

Compry ...

People should be concerned and responsible about their personal well being. Health, including exercising is a simple, yet strong reason why we should do that. In our sedentiary lifestyle most people have little time to adapt and adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes making exercising part of the regular curriculum. However, there are reasons why we should consider exercising before giving it up.

Exercising and an overall healthy lifestyle does not only enhance heart function, also, it's a high factor in preventing other high risk diseases, plus it gives emotional, physical and there may be cases of spiritual development to people who do it regularly.

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Getting fit and losing fat, is hard but can be fun. Losing fat is an easy process but can be dangerous. Fat as a source of energy provides the greatest amount for cell processes. However carbohydrates are preferred because the brain almost exclusively uses it for energy. So when you ingest both carbohydrates and lipids, your body will store lipids in adipose tissue and use carbohydrates. You want to limit the carbohydrates to an amount that your brain uses it and the body uses the fat. This can be dangerous because some people take it to the extreme. This you would have to do more research on, on your own as everybody's energy requirements are different. A thinker needs a fair amount of carbs to keep the brain working right.

The excercise part increases fat usage and adipose disposal (adipose tissue is never lost, only deflated as lipids are drawn out). It is also good for your heart and immune system. Excercise allows you to lose water which reduces blood volume which eases the stress on your heart. It also allows you to excrete toxins through your sweat. Also as a man, going to the gym is fun cause those girls, ooh those girls.

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

TeeTee, to tone arms but not make them bulky you csn use the free weights at your gym and make more reps with lesser weight, wich creates a lean, longer muscles, instead of big bulky ones. Remember to work biceps, triceps and the shoulders. (me stink at the right terms, english is not my first language) But the muscle you use when you would use for instance a free weight and lift it straight out from your side. Good luck!

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Very nice thread. Thank you all for the good tips. I'm a petite person about 5"3 and I weight about 100 lbs. I have an extremely hight metabolism and have a hard time putting on any weight. If I get sick...even with just a cold..I drop weight instantly and look gaunt. I've been wanting to get into a living a bit healthier and these tips will certainly help. I know I don't drink enough water...I do get a fair amount of exercise through swimming, biking, dancing, hiking etc but I could really stand to improve my water intake, eat more vegies, drink less coffee and just generally take better care of myself. Thanks again for all the great tips.

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Swede, if you feel too small remember muscle weighs more than fat, so considering building some muscle through weightlifting and such might be helpful. Nuff respect to all you people who tries to stay fit, our sedentary modern society doesn't really help. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: To get Fit and lose the unwanted Fat ..

Compry, I'm with you, is more how you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror than what the scale says. Muscle weighs more than fat.
