Overweight vs.
Overfat
by Fitness
Professional
Chris Olmstead
"WHAT?!?! That
can't be true,
that's not
right. I know I
need to lose a
few more pounds
but I am NOT
obese! I'm a
nurse, I know
the difference!"
That's what was
ringing in my
ears when I left
the gym with
last Friday. It
stuck with me
the whole day
and over the
weekend. Monday
morning I walked
in and there was
Betty, the
little obese
lady. She had
used the
handheld
impedance device
that all gyms
have around and
it had told her
she was about
36% body fat.
Upon seeing me
she asked if I
would pinch her
myself.
Apparently it
had stuck with
her the whole
weekend too.
 I
got out my body
fat measuring
calipers and
performed the
assessment
before my first
client showed up
and out came the
numbers: 37.7%
BF. She was not
happy. At 150
lbs she was over
50 lbs of fat
and under 100
lbs of Lean Mass
(basically
everything that
isn't fat, i.e.
muscle organs,
bones, etc.)
As a fitness
professional, I
explained the
difference of
Overweight
vs. Overfat.
"The guidelines
of being Obese
are primarily
based on the
Body Mass Index
(BMI) which is
not always a
very good
indicator of
body
composition.
Many of my
fitness clients
come to me
falling into the
'ideal' body fat
percentage
category they
should be in
according to
BMI, but they
aren't happy
with their body.
They know they
carry a bit of
extra weight
while the scale
says they only
need to lose 5
lbs."
 This
is where the
division occurs
between BMI and
Body Fat
Percentage.
Simply weighing
a certain amount
is hardly a
guarantee of a
specific "look"
that most people
want to achieve.
BF% on the other
hand is based on
how much fat the
person carries.
Obviously most
people want to
carry a lot less
than they do
now, or at least
if you are a
client coming to
me you certainly
do.
Unfortunately
clients don't
often just hand
me a bunch of
money and say "I
just wanna bathe
in the aura of
awesomeness that
is your
birthright!"
which totally
sucks because I
am pretty
awesome. So
getting back to
body fat %...,
this is the
first part of
the educational
process that I
take my fitness
training clients
through.
With so much
external
pressure to
weigh less, less
consideration is
put on body fat
percentage and
health. Getting
a female fitness
client to
understand that
dropping that
last 40 lbs to
reach that
coveted weight
of 83 lbs may
not result in
the body weight
they want can be
a bit
challenging.
Images usually
help. If they
have questions
or don't pick up
what I am
putting down
Leigh Peele
has a fantastic
visual aid you
can get by just
signing up for
her fitness
newsletter. It
helps people see
what body fat
percentages look
like across the
spectrum and
where they may
want to end up.
 Bottom
line is to have
lower body fat%
the key is
lifting heavy
objects.
Exercising on
the treadmill
and elliptical
rarely offer
enough of the
right stimulus
to get the
results you
desire. Get out
of the "cardio"
area of your gym
and hit the
weights. Lifting
heavy objects
will get you
leaner and give
you a butt you
can bounce
quarters off of
rather than one
that feels like
a beanbag chair. |

"fitness
by Design, Not by Coincidence"
A personal trainer can help you truly find your personal power! |
|
Exercise is
not a "one-size-fits-all" concept. The
fitness training program that is working for your friend
may not be the best option for you and vice
versa.
At Success Fitness we take all of
your personal fitness needs into consideration and
write individual programs based upon the
results of a thorough postural assessment
and movement-based screening to ensure that
you not only get the best possible results,
but also feel better and move better as the
fitness training program unfolds.
At Success
Fitness, "your goals are our goals" and we
are committed to providing you the best
training experience possible. Through
dedication to the appropriate exercise
progressions along with a responsible and
sound nutritional approach, we can guarantee
you will get the results you earn.
Fitness
training doesn't have to be only for everyone
else. Fitness training and fitness can belong to you too! As
personal training professionals, Success
Fitness coaches can show you the path and
guide you along the way to your fittest body
ever!

I had
recently lost nearly 50
pounds and with that much weight loss
comes loose and
saggy skin which is a look I
did not want. I started working
with Personal Trainer, Chris Olmstead
of Success
Fitness and things are
definitely changing. I have lost
an additional 20 pounds. My skin
is tightening and I am adding
good lean muscle to my body. My
body fat percentage is lower
than it has ever been in my life
and I am inspired to reach new
goals every month. Chris focuses
on the details of proper lifting
technique and diet so you get
the most out of your workouts
which is exactly what I needed.
He is passionate about what he
does and he cares about getting
the results you desire to have.
