Re: Reducing Bodyfat

Hi,

I'm new to this news group thing, but just wanted to add something to this
conversation.

Most people believe that Cardio is the way to burn fat, however the bigger
the muscle the more fat & energy required.
Therefore weight training is best for fat loss. Cardio work is best for
increasing your fitness levels.

Also some gyms still use the pinch test as a measure of body fat. This
method is very inaccurate. The results can depend on who is performing the
test, for women what time of the month it is in their cycle etc.

I recently tested a lady in her 40's. She works out three to four times a
week, has a great diet and a great body. The test results revealed she was
obese!!!!

Thanks
Melstar
