SAM SAYER

Programme: Private Weight Loss

Sam lost 8kg of fat and gained 1kg of muscle in 6 months. That’s despite taking his foot off the gas, continuing to enjoy a pint or two and going on holiday twice and letting his hair down. Crucially, Sam understands that maintaining a healthy weight is a question of lifestyle and that any indulgence or weight gain is reversible, simply by getting back to the right lifestyle.

THE BEGINNING

The first activity in his programme was our ‘Set up for Success’ induction. This comprised:

  • Taking measurements and photographs to benchmark Sam’s starting point.
  • Benchmarking his daily calorie expenditure.
  • Setting a goal. Sam wanted to get to 68kg.
  • Setting an initial level for his calorie intake. We cut calories and assumed a calorie burn from exercise.
  • Providing coaching on food intake. This included food theory and diet construction.
  • Constructing an exercise programme consisting of weight training and cardiovascular exercise.

THE JOURNEY

We keep a constant dialogue with clients to enable them to get the most from the programme. With Sam, we made the following observations and took the following actions:

  • Sam made lifestyle changes almost immediately.
  • Sam was ahead of target straight away and remained so for most of the programme.
  • Although Sam took his foot off the gas a little and went on holiday a couple of times, he understood the implications and was relaxed about them because he knew he could get back on track by getting back to his new lifestyle

THE PROGRAMME

The exercise programme had the following elements:

Cardiovascular exercise to

  • Strengthen his heart, lungs and vascular system.
  • Improve his ability to burn fat as a fuel.
  • Improve his health markers and resting heart rate.
  • Burn some extra calories.

Weight training to

  • Enable him to build muscle whilst losing weight.
  • Provide a metabolic and hormonal cascade of beneficial effects.
  • Develop balance and improved functional capability.
“With this it’s a lot more structured, focused…you know…I felt great after a workout.”
