Much has been said about the folks eternally trying to loose weight & get rid of the flab. And then there’s the other side of the spectrum filled with men & women who resemble stick figures we drew as kids. There are some worst case scenarios to the ladies & the gentlemen resembling matchsticks, even toothpicks on the road & believe you me, their trauma is much worst ! If you belong to the latter category then i may have add insult to injury. Do accept my sincere apologies & read on to find out how you can save yourself.
You’r an ectomorph if :
* You are super slim & gaining weight seems like an impossible dream
* You constantly notice only biffer blokes & keep thinking “some guy have all the luck!”
* You obsesses about having muscles & biceps which keep eluding you on mater how much iron you pump
* You keep stuffing yourself with the foods which have potential of creating a flood of fat in your body but even these have zero effect

When people enroll in gyms, their reasons for enrolling are varied & most often they want things that could actually harm them in the long term. A responsible fitness professional needs to understand the psyche of the enrolling member & through counseling, educate the member as to what’s best for him, rather than give into the demands of the member (A member hasn’t gone through the education required to understand the true meaning of fitness).
The following are the most common demands made by people enrolling in gyms & my response to them
1. Got a wedding in the family…have to lose at least 10 kgs in a month…Already bought my clothes two sizes smaller & I don’t fit into them…
My Response:
We can do it for you…but we would only be doing you a disservice…The only way you could lose so much so fast is to indiscriminately lose weight through excessive cardio & soups n salads diet…You would lose 10kgs but with it lose so much muscle that you would end up doing the unthinkable – Lower your already sluggish metabolism…Once you get off the crazy diet you are going to bounce back & get those 10 kgs back…But you are not back to square one…When you lost you lost mostly muscle & when you gained your weight back you only gained fat…So the only effect weight loss is going to have on you is to ensure a FATTER you in the future…
SO sorry…but we cant always give you what you want…as what you want may not be always good for you…
2. The only problem with me is that I have a protruding belly…I have just come here for getting my tummy in…So if you could just show me the abdominal exercises…

There is no better way to attain fat loss than to weight train. Majority of the people who enroll in gyms are obsessed with fat loss…yet this fact is unknown to them. One of the reasons is their complete misunderstanding of the concept of fat loss & confusing it with sheer weight loss…Weight loss is the easiest thing to achieve…starve yourself on soups, salads & hit the treadmill for an hour a day & you could end up losing 10kgs in 2 months. The reason for this stupendous weight loss is not loss of fat but LOSS OF MUSCLE…again because people don’t understand Fat loss, they don’t understand the value of muscle…if only they knew that the secret behind burning fat is simply an increase in muscle… but to convince you about this simple scientific fact I first have to define Body Fat (Adipose Tissue) & make you understand as to why the human body collects Body Fat
WHAT IS BODY FAT?
To understand where this ugly unsightly soft jelly like substance that we can pinch on our abdomen & hips n thighs (fat can be anywhere on the body but most often collects around these two places) comes from…we first have to understand the concept of Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
It is a big mistake on our part to think of calorie burning to be associated solely with gymming…lots of people obsessed with calorie burning are surprisingly only concerned with burning more calories by extending their duration on a cardio machine such as a treadmill…this is achieved by probably extending their 1 hour run or walk to an hour and a half…they completely ignore the fact that the body is burning calories even outside the gym throughout the day. If they are so obsessed with calorie burning…shouldn’t they be concerned about increasing their caloric output throughout the day???
