Introduction
If you’ve ever said to yourself “I want to get in shape” then you must have had
some picture in your head of what that “shape” is supposed to be. You might be
able to describe it in some abstract terms like, “I’d like to lose some weight”, or
“I’d like to put on some muscle” or “I want to look like >Insert name of popular
Hollywood celebrity here<”.
Unfortunately, simply wanting to look better doesn’t give you much of a direction
or road map to follow. How much weight do you want to lose? How much weight
CAN you lose?
How much muscle do you want to build? How much muscle CAN you build? And
most importantly how much muscle SHOULD you build?
Suppose you wanted to do both of these things (build muscle and lose fat). How
would you know where to start with a workout and diet program, and even more
importantly how would you know when you’ve reached the right size?
Is 10 pounds of weight loss enough? Is 20 pounds? How do you measure fat loss
and muscle gain at the same time?
