From "Average" body fat (25%) to Elite Athlete (16.0%) in 14 weeks!
She (name withheld) pleaded with me to help get her back to a high level of fitness this past summer. The 56-year-old lady was up to 174 pounds, and as a ski instructor, that wasn't going to fly come winter.
She had already achieved a loss of 12 pounds when we started:
Starting weight: 162.2 lbs.
Starting body fat: 25.0% (Average)
Ending weight: 145.6 lbs.
Ending body fat: 16.0% (Elite Athlete)
She was part of a small group of three individuals. They worked with me on strength training two times per week, but most important - they all restricted calories on a plan that has worked so well for so many of my clients. They all lost weight and body fat - while maintaining muscle mass and bone density (lean mass).
All three clients accomplished their fitness goals during the holiday season. Not easy. But the hard part started with their departure this morning from my gym. Maintaining their fitness levels for the long term can be tough. But knowing weight and body fat measurements await upon my return from down South in early April should help.
And for the "lady in question", since she had stated she looked like Humpty Dumpty when we started, I gave her a copy of the photo and caption seen below.
