It’s not all about the scales

No doubt many of you have started your post Christmas clean up and cut out the alcohol and sweet things that abound over the festive season. It’s likely that you have already shed a few pounds on the scales as you lose water that is stored with carbohydrate in the body. Aiming for inch loss is the best goal as your body drops fat and builds lean tissue which is what we want as that is what is metabolically active and burns calories all day.

Here is a simple way to remember that 5lbs on the scale can look very different on the body

ITV’s BIGGEST LOSER programme with Davina McCall has started a new series this month with the main emphasis on weight rather than inch loss because contestants are so overweight. The new Female Coach is the talented Charlotte Ord who owns her own gym Phoenix Pro Fitness in Surrey and is currently training the England Lacrosse Team. Here is a video of Charlotte using the Ztrainer back in 2010.

Good luck with losing those “pounds”
