This month, we are taking a twist on our spotlight. We are congratulating both Latricia and Lamont Henderson. As husband and wife, the Henderson's have made inspiring lifestyle changes making their health a priority for both of them. Exercise and healthy eating are now parts of their daily routine. The Henderson's have lost a combined total of over 59 lbs and over 40 inches off their bodies! With that, came a fat loss of 18% between them. Lamont came in barely jogging for his warm-up and is now up to 5 miles. Latricia could not do 30 seconds of jumping jacks continuously and now jogs for over 10 minutes and does jumping jacks without even thinking about it! It's about more than how they look, it's about how they feel. We salute Latricia and Lamont. They have made a conscious effort to change their lives for the better. Through hard work and dedication, they have made tremendous gains in the short months they have been training with us. Results like this not only inspire other clients, but they inspire us as trainers as well. Congratulations Latricia and Lamont, we are proud of you. Keep up the good work!

These are popular statements and questions heard by fitness professionals everyday. Those professionals who trully care about getting you results and not just telling you what you want to hear are going to tell you the hard truth about taking fat off one area at a time. Products you see on TV that claim to just make your waist smaller or trim your thighs in "just ten minutes a day" are just gimmicks designed to tell you what you want to hear. The truth is that no matter how many crunches you do, you will not have a flat stomach or see your abs until you do some serious work on the cardio equipment and switch those eating habits to clean and healthy. The same principal holds true for sculpted arms and legs as well. For those wanted to lose weight and "tone up", weight training exercises are done primarily to sculpt the muscles and burn calories. However, you must burn the layer of fat on top of the muscle to see the results of your weight training. This is done with a healthy diet and at least 5 hours of exercise per week. So, if you ask your trainer "how do I get rid of this?" and you are pointing to an accumulation of fat in a particular area... thank them if they tell you to get on the treadmill. These are the trainers who are trying to get you results and are not just "telling you what you want to hear." With hard work and a healthy diet, you can have a flat stomach and see those sculpted muscles you are seeking... there are just no quick fixes or easy ways out. You have to make fitness a priority in your life. Make exercise and healthy eating part of your daily routine. Give it time, you'll get there!
