Don't obsess about weight

When people come to me and say I want to lose weight I always use a mix of cardio and weights to burn big calories and gain lean muscle in both men and women. The reason? The more lean muscle we have the quicker our metabolism will be resulting in more calories burned. So how does this then affect our weight? Well muscle weighs more than fat so if a client loses weight in the first few weeks then starts to not lose any then they start to worry. Have you ever had this happen? If so then don't worry. If your doing weights and building new muscle whilst losing fat this will most likely happen or you might gain weight. Because muscle weighs more than fat as you put on muscle it will give you a nice lean, toned body which will be burning hundreds of calories a day. So don't obsess about your weight. Instead try to take a picture of yourself at the start of your program then after a month take another. This way you can see the changes over a period. Most of us don't tend to notice much change if we look at ourselves everyday so try to avoid checking yourself out in the mirror and take a picture, work hard and the results will show.
