Did everyone watch the Biggest Loser finale tonight? There were some pretty amazing transformations taking place. I mean seriously, people were losing 200lbs! What a great job by all the contestants.
As much as some things on this show annoy me, there are also some really good things about it. Bob and Jillian (although a bit dramatic) are great trainers that have really adapted their training and stayed on top of the science to get these people tremendous results. Actually this is why I'm writing tonight.
Did you know that the winner of season 1 Biggest Loser lost only 122lbs (36.97%) . I say only because 122 doesn't even get you in the finals just 5 years later. Times change, training methods change and obviously results change.
What can we take from this? How is your training program? Are you doing the same things you've been doing for years? Are you making progress? Does your program or your trainer have you doing most of your exercises seated on machines or recommend you do hours of cardio a week? If so, JUST SAY NO...now.
The science backs it up, if you want to lose fat. If that is really your goal you need to be doing:
1. Full body high intensity functional exercises (not seated bicep curls on a machine)
2. Interval training
3. Follow a great eating plan
It really is that simple....but 10 years ago trainers trained differently. Well, do yourself a favor and make sure your program and your trainer are staying up with the times.
