Biggest Loser Week Three

   Week three has come and gone and so has quite a few pounds from our contestants.  Week three is notorious for being a hard week to see results, as our bodies start to adapt to our new exercise regimens and calorie intake.  It is a mental battle from this point on.  We must find a way to push past our mental barriers to convert our new exercise program into a lifestyle change.  Weight loss is fun and exciting, but it also can be discouraging.  It is important to reward ourselves for small victories that don't always rely on pounds lost that week.  Getting a faster time on your mile, adding 5lbs to your squat, or completing five more push-ups than you did the week before.  All of these are signs of progress and they should be equally recognized and rewarded as your weight loss.  Stay focused on your end goal and remember to adapt your calorie intake to your lower weight, as we get smaller we need less calories than we did the first week!

This weeks winner was once again MARTIN VANROSENDALL!  Martin lost another 9lbs  and won a three month membership to The Fit Stop.  Great job Martin!

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

First Week Results!

Week one brought some crushing numbers and this contest is going to be intense to follow!  With numbers as high as 13lbs of weight loss for one week we can't wait to see the results at the end of 10 weeks.  Our contestants and trainers are bringing out all the stops.  The contestants will see big numbers some weeks and smaller numbers other weeks.  One factor that has to stay the same to see overall progress is their consistency of hard work in the gym and healthy eating habits at home.  Great job to all of the Biggest Losers and their Trainers for an outstanding first week!

Good luck to you contestants!!! We will be doing weekly updates on the contestants progress.  Stay tuned for next week and let's support these contestants till the end!!!!!!

Biggest Loser Application

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words

-  Eat meant and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.  Keep intake to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat.

-  Practice and train major lifts:  deadlift, clean, squat, presses, clean and jerk, and snatch.  Similarly master the basics of gymnastics:  pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.  Bike, run, swim, row, ect, hard and fast.

-  Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patters as creativity will allow.  Routine is the enemy.  Keep workouts short and intense.

-  Regularly learn and play new sports.


--------------------------------------------------

This was taken from the Crossfit prescription and training guide.  Erin and I have found that this has been a good approach for our workouts and keeps our bodies guessing.  We have been improving our strength, conditioning, flexibitly, power and stamina.  Our measurements will be up friday, wish us luck!!!!
