Who΄s
The Big Loser? : "Biggest Loser"
update |
 |
 "You
are such a loser!" is
not a phrase most people want to hear. However, here
at Capital Fitness, there are five individuals who
can΄t "weight" to hear those words.
They are participating in Madison΄s Biggest Loser
contest, run by NBC15 in conjunction with the nationally
televised show (Wednesdays, 7 pm). The participants
are working with Personal Trainers (Lauren and Jenn)
here at Capital Fitness Under Brian΄s direction
and have weekly weigh-ins at Meriter Hospital.
Meriter also is monitoring body composition, blood
glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and hip & waist
measurements. You can log on to nbc15.madison.com and
click on "contests", then "Biggest Loser" to
see how our participants are doing!

| Acceleration
Training : |
|
You
may have noticed a group of teenagers working out
in the gym over the past few months. Personal Trainer
Kristin held a 16-week acceleration camp over the
summer, working with 20 boys ages 13 to 17 on strength
and conditioning. Over the duration of the camp,
the boys lost a combined total of 26.6 pounds of
fat and gained a combined total of 70.7 pounds of
lean muscle weight! Congratulations to Kristin and
the boys on all their hard work and effort! We hope
to see successful programs like this continue here
at Capital Fitness.

Body
Comp Testing : |
|
 First
lets start with what body composition is. Body
composition refers to the makeup of the body considered
as a two-component model: Lean body mass and body
fat. Lean body mass consists of muscles, bones,
organs and other metabolically active tissues.
Body fat is stored energy too much of which leads
to obesity and other health complications.
There are various ways to measure body composition
the most common being skin fold calipers. It
is a simple process where an experienced professional
pinches and measures different points on the
body. These measurements get put into a formula
to accurately figure your body fat percentage.
By measuring body composition we can more accurately
measure changes and progress that occur in the
body due to exercise and diet.
This is important because as you shed inches
off your waist and increase that lean muscle
your total body weight may not change very significantly.
For example, if you lose 5lbs of fat and gain
3lbs of lean muscle your scale shows the difference
is only 2lbs less but in fact your results are
great! Regular scales cannot accurately measure
your fitness results.
Joey will be providing complimentary Body Comps
October 16th to 20th. Sign up at the front desk
or call to book your appointment. |
