Fat Loss, Weight, Diets And You

By Robert | July 23, 2008

People are obsessed with their weight. When most of us think of fat loss we imagine people with 60lbs or more to lose. We lose sight of the fact that we can be fat and fit or thin and unfit.

I know many of my Pilates clients who by conventional wisdom would be classed as well over weight or even fat. These people though can run like stags and have cardiovascular endurance that would put many of their thin friends to shame. They are also tremendously strong and quite flexible. I know most people who are well over weight are also untoned and flabby but that isn’t always the case.

I prefer to teach this type of person than the really skinny ones. The skinny type in my experience have poor core stability and little functional strength. This has often been caused by years of yo yo dieting and the accompanying muscle loss. No muscle no fat burning machine :(

So the next time you spot that porky person at a class or in the gym consider this, they may be fitter than you.

All the best,
