Forbes asked for my thoughts on "weight loss programs for women."

Here's what I said:

Q) Are there any specific workout plans you would recommend for women who are trying to lose weight?

A) I'm assuming you actually mean "brand name" workouts when you say, "specific workout plans."

Brand name workouts are designed to sell and entertain. Not necessarily to get results.

Marketers know that "New, Different, and Flashy" sells far better than Proven-Yet-Boring.

Besides, women, in particular, have been brainwashed into focusing on working "problem" areas.

The truth is that a workout plan for weight loss should work your full body and should focus on compound movements.

A Calorie is a unit of Mechanical Work.

You maximize the amount of Mechanical Work (thus total calories burned) by using:
lots of muscles per exercise
lots of your larger muscles, and
lots of muscle fibers in each muscle
with challenging weights.

That's exactly what my 3-4-5 Total Body Fitness Program is designed to do.

And that's why it's been featured in Women's Health, Shape, Fitness, Runner's World, and even Woman's Day.

Isolation exercises like crunches, hip abductions, and triceps kickbacks (ugh!) aren't an effective use of your time.

If you want help designing a program that finally works, let me know.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
