Exercise - Science/Education

Did you know that by replacing 5 pounds of fat with 5 pounds of muscle that you'll burn 250 more calories every day even if you don't exercise? That's a serving of ice cream, an extra slice of pizza or simply the easiest way to reach and maintain your weight loss goals.

One of the keys to replacing the most fat with lean muscle with the smallest amount of effort is change. The human body is incredibly skilled at adapting to its environment and without the variety that our certified personal trainers can provide you'll have to work harder to get the same results. This is where the knowledge and experience of our certified personal trainers is vital.

Just a few of the topics that you will be educated on as a member of Weight Loss By Mel include:

1. Burning calories AFTER the workout as well as during - you'll learn how important it is to combine resistance and cardio training together in order to maximize a caloric burnoff
2. The thermogenic value of food - did you know that there's a big difference in the amount of energy your body uses to process whole grain rice compared to white rice?
3. FITT = Frequency Intensity Time Tempo - what you do, when you do it, how you do it and the pace of it can make the difference between pain or gain, successes or failures, growth or atrophy.
4. Did you know that by adding 5 pounds of muscle you can burn an additional 250 calories a day?
