Keeping Focus

Lets pause to think about where we were, where we are, and where we are going.

Where We Were

Approximately four weeks ago, we each took some body measurements to determine our individual starting point for this boot camp. We didn't just step on a scale and let our weight be our only tool of measurement. We are smarter than that. Instead, we took a measurement of the composition of our body - our lean body mass and our fat mass. The reason we took a measurement of composition is because our goal is to change the composition of our bodies, not to merely change the weight of our bodies.

Where We Are

The idea of not using the scale as our only tool of measure was somewhat difficult to grasp at first, but it seems that everyone is starting to catch on to the realization that the scale is only part of the equation. We have now worked out for four weeks, and we recently took another measurement of body composition. We have great news... EVERYONE experienced a positive change in body composition!! Some gained more lean body mass than others, and some lost more fat mass than others, but everyone lost fat mass and gained lean body mass!!! That is the type of change in body composition that we were working for, which means our efforts to date have been very successful. Congratulations on your progress!!

Where We Are Going

Looking forward, our goal is to continue to change our body composition, not just our weight. There is something very positive about the progress we have already made. A gain in lean body mass increases metabolism. That means your body is capable of burning more calories now than it was when we started the program. That means you have the ability to burn more fat mass now than you did when we started. That is very positive!! Let's keep up the good work and keep a focus on our goal of changing our body composition! Remember that during these last few weeks we cannot lose focus. Let's keep eating healthy and pushing ourselves during each workout. Everyone keep up the great work!!
