Carl Hoffsten resuming his training 4 weeks into chemo and radiation therapy for brain cancer:
”This place is a paradise!”
“The premium membership has worked wonders for me to keep me in shape and motivated. I no longer have to worry about designing my own workouts or worry if I am performing the exercises correctly. Not to mention I am saving a TON of time, money, and frustration!“
“Training for the 2008 Olympic Weightlifting Team I was at college and had all sorts of distractions in the weight room. I missed the 2008 Olympic Games by 1 lift. 2012 will be different. Now that I am at home, and training at The Lab 2012 is in the bank!”
St Louis Fitness Articles: Resistance Training trumps
Aerobics for most effective
F.A.T. B.U.R.N.
Most people have only one thing on their mind when they join a gym or approach a personal trainer...
fat-loss. With more than half of the adult population registering as overweight it is no wonder that fat loss is such a hot topic.
It's simple, really. We used to think that cardiovascular training was the quickest and most effective way to shed unwanted pounds. Aerobics, jogging, swimming and biking were the activities to turn to when we wanted to slim down.
Boy, were we misled.
The idea was that when you perform low level aerobic exercise your body relied on calories from fat. Sounds good, right? Well, there were a couple of major limitations with this method…
First of all you only burn fat calories while the aerobics are performed. If you do twenty minutes, then you only burn for twenty minutes; if you do two hours, then you only burn for two hours.
Secondly, if you are overzealous with aerobics your body
actually eats away at lean tissue, leaving you with lowered calorie
requirements. Ever wonder why you eat the same amount but still put on
pounds? A loss in lean
tissue will do that to you every time.
So where does this leave you?
Lucky for us, we live in a time of great scientific discovery with tools and statistics that give us the cutting edge in our quest for a slimmer, sexier body. And science has given us the solution for optimal F.A.T. B.U.R.N.
The Solution: Resistance Training
You have probably heard about the many
benefits of resistance training. Here are just a few: 1. Increase in muscle strength
2. Injury prevention
3. Improved bone density
But what about F.A.T. B.U.R.N.? Here are the two reasons that resistance training is the most effective way to B.U.R.N. F.A.T.
Oxygen Debt
Now I know debt isn't usually a word that we enjoy…but in this
case I'm sure you will agree that it's a great thing. Resistance
training puts your body into oxygen debt which means you will B.U.R.N.
F.A.T. as you recover from your
workout. And this effect can last quite awhile - studies have shown an
increase in calorie burning for up to three days following a resistance
training workout.
Lean Tissue Burns More
The other way that F.A.T. B.U.R.N. is accomplished with
resistance training is through an increase in your resting metabolism.
You see, lean tissue (muscle) requires many more calories each day than
fatty tissue. In fact, one
pound of muscle burns 30-50 calories each day at rest - compared to a
measly 9 calories per pound of fat.
When you perform resistance training exercises your body composition will change to contain more lean tissue, thus resulting in extra calories burned while you sleep. What could be better than that?
Resistance training is truly worth your time - talk about an exercise that keeps on giving.

“I have lost over 133 pounds, I am no longer diabetic after 12 years, and have come off of 2 blood pressure medications. All of this happened inside of 8 months while working with Justin Thacker's nutrition and exercise programs. I have had to buy a new pair of pants every 2 weeks! Justin saved my life and I have so many new beginnings as I turn 51.”
“Exercise has always been such a huge part of my life. I have been a runner for years. Once I started working with Justin 1-on-1. I achieved things I never thought possible at my age! On my 75th birthday I did 80 pushups!!!
*That’s not all folks: Donald also has done these amazing feats: Squatted 225 for 15 reps, leg pressed 550 for 15 reps, and dips with 90 pounds attached to his body. All at age 75 and a bodyweight of only 150 pounds...absolutely incredible!
“I have been working with Justin for about 6 years. In the first 7 months of training he helped me lose over 60 pounds and now I am hard as a rock. I never knew how much muscle I was hiding!”
“We have been training together with a trainer for years but once we started training with Justin we found out just what we were missing. Every workout is a fresh new challenge!”
