The best fat loss workout for your female personal training clients (pt 1, the fundamentals)

The vast majority of gym members use gyms (and personal trainers) to lose body fat and 'tone' their bodies, so as a personal trainer you must know the best workout for achieving fat loss. And you know what? If you buy into the concept that the best fat loss workout for women involves low-moderate intensity cardio, and light weights with high repetitions then expect to lose clients. Ultimately the best fat loss workout is simply the workout your client is most likely to repeat often enough to actually achieve results. That being said some workouts definately trump others, and the traditional high rep, low weight workout is easilly trumped by other forms of resistance training. As a personal trainer you can't afford to make mistakes with your personal training clients, so watch this video where we look at an alternative workout for fat loss suited specifically to your female personal training clients - there are some fundamental principles here that you must understand as a personal trainer if you're going to design and deliver the best fat loss workouts.

Hi and thanks for the report.
Actually, i am impressed why you are giving so much away. As personal trainers, we have the obligation of knowing all this you are demonstrating on your vids no? I can not yet believe that someone can call themselves a personal trainer when they have to learn something from your vids. You are certainly very knowledgeable and other personal trainers should know it too, not feel impressed by your vids... not because they are not good, but because, again, personal trainer is more than gym instructors. . . cheers.

Thanks for your comment Lui. I agree that Personal Trainers do need to know all that we're covering here, yet when it comes to many aspects of a Trainers education the information that is presented to them is often conflicting, i.e. many Trainers are still taught that light weights with high reps is best for fat loss and this is confirmed in many avenues of the popular media and oppopsed by others - so in essence here we're going over a 'fundamental', commonly misunderstood point with some rationale and trying to encourage a little 'critical thinking' along the way. Sometimes its useful to revisit and clarify the fundamnentals. As for PT's vs Gym Instructors - I tend to think that anyone prescribing exercise should have this fundamental understanding - not just the PT's, I think that PT is not necessarilly 'more' than Gym Instructor' just two different roles, the Gym Instructor having a limited amount of time to input with many clients whereas the PT has a much greater availability of time to focus on a select group of clients and provide them with all the support, encouragement, direction and planning they need...as well as the right exercise sessions! What do you think?
