Fat Loss Comes First In Beaufort's Best Gym EarthFIT
Forget weight loss. At EarthFIT gym in Beaufort, our main focus, as yours should be, is fat loss. Having a strong, lean, toned body is not about how much you weigh. Arnold Schwarzenegger was 260 pounds of pure muscles. Even if your goal is not to look like Arnold, but simply to look like one of the celebrities walking down the red carpet (either male or female) then you will definitely need to benefit from the science of body recomposition that is whole-heartedly embraced at EarthFIT gym in Beaufort . And the number one step for almost everybody would be fat loss.
The science of body recomposition is more than just shedding unwanted pounds. It is about making sure that you shed pounds of fat, while maintaining—or even increasing—muscle mass. This method of fat loss offers multiple advantages. As opposed to the regular approach to fat loss, keeping this focus in mind ensures that after you reach your goal you do not end up with a weak, mushy, saggy body. When you lose the fat and keep your muscles, the result is the well-sought after defined and toned look.
If you work out at EarthFIT gym in Beaufort, this is exactly what you will achieve because the gauge of your progress will be how much fat you lost, not how many pounds you lost. Is measuring actual fat loss even possible you might ask? Yes, absolutely. Your body fat percentage can be determined through any of the available method: skin calipers, bioelectrical impedance devices, hydrostatic weighing or even the gold-standard expensive method Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA scanning). Your body fat percentage is estimated at baseline, and then repeat estimates are taken ,using the same instrument, and are compared to original readings to get an accurate estimation of fat loss and potential muscular gains.
If this sounds like too much trouble just for the sake of looking good, maybe the fact that fat is a metabolically inert tissue will change your mind. Fat loss is revered especially when you manage to add even a few pounds of muscle. This drastically changes your metabolic needs at rest. In everyday lingo that translates to more calories burnt while you are doing absolutely nothing. Interestingly, many obese or very overweight people try to determine their caloric needs per day based, using all the available formulas, by just plugging in their actual weights. In many instances, this results in an erroneously high estimate because what is happening is that the large mass of fat in their bodies are throwing the numbers off, because it is inert, it does not actually burn any calories. When the fat mass is large enough, the numbers yielded can be ridiculously high (nearing 3500 calories per day at times.) Even a modest fat loss in these cases can help improve the accuracy of the estimation of daily maintenance caloric needs.
Also, fat loss is behind the health benefits of general weight loss. While fat is metabolically inert, it is biologically active. Confused? Let me explain. Adipose tissue (fat) does not burn calories but it manufactures a variety of hormones, including the female hormone Estrogen. Males definitely don't want that in their system! And it is also detrimental for females. Hyperestrogenaemia (too much Estrogen) is implicated in breast and endometrial cancers
Whether your fat loss goals are motivated by vanity or health consciousness, EarthFIT gym in Beaufort will help you do it the right way!
