Assessments: "An Insight To Your Personal Weight Loss Trends"

In a previous article I discussed the myth of “Spot Reduction”. A concept that implies you burn fat from specific areas of your body that you exercise. As I had gone on to say, everybody’s body burns fat from different areas more than others, and spot reduction does not exist.

I personally experience the last of my weight to come out of my mid-section, while the rest of my body tightens up much quicker.

With all of my clients I do regular assessments to help track weight loss, as well as their inches lost. I measure 9 different areas of their body. From assessment to assessment you can follow the trends in inches lost to get a feel of what areas your body draws it’s fat energy from.

So, for example if you notice you are continually seeing a high number of inches lost in your waist then you can pinpoint that as one of the areas that your body draws fat energy from. If your legs continually lose minimal inches then you know it’s an area that your body does not draw from nearly as much, and you can anticipate that it will be one of the last areas to go.

In this way your assessment provides you some foresight into your future weight loss, and the new shape your body is taking on.  There are other factors that come in to play such as the exchange of fat for muscle, but even with that said. If you exchange fat for muscle in some areas more than others, you will be able to identify that with the information provided in your assessments as well.
