By now you know what you want to achieve.  You can picture your new body and you are ready to sacrifice whatever you have to in order to reach your goals.  So what does it take to reach them?  How are you going to succeed where so many have failed?  That’s why we at Emerge are here, to help you put it all together and get you to achieve or surpass these goals in record time.

You need to have the proper balance between exercise, diet, rest, and supplementation.  The first three are the most important.  The type of exercise and diet you choose will make or break your progress.  As for rest, without it your muscles will not recover and grow.

Most people think that you go to the gym and lift weights to build muscle.  This is not true.  You go to the gym and lift weights to break down muscle.  You build muscle outside the gym with proper rest and nutrition.  This is where most people get it wrong.  Working out is the easy part.  That’s only one hour of your day.  The other 23 hours are making sure your body gets what it needs to recover and be ready to do it all over again.

Another thing I want to stress is why you are working out, if you are going there to lose fat.  Don’t think about how many calories you are burning when you are working out with weights.  In an hour it could be 500 calories or more depending on your overall size and intensity level. 

I want you to think of lifting weights as a way to maintain or increase your metabolism while dieting to get leaner.  Too often I see trainers in gyms pushing their clients through their workout with jumping jacks, shadow boxing or running up and down stairs between sets.  I want you to save your energy for lifting weights so your body adapts by adding muscle.  Tiring yourself out on cardiovascular exercises will only take away from your weight training objective.

When it comes to supplementation things can get tricky.  There are many products out there with many amazing claims.  Some work, most don’t.  What works for one person may not work for you.  With supplements, like any medication you need the right product for a specific symptom.

So how much rest do we need?  How often do we have to workout?  What and how much should we eat?  That’s why people come to Emerge, to skip the trial and error and find out the facts, not the fads.  Unfortunately, there are no simple answers for these questions or everyone would look great.  But don’t worry, we will give you all these answers and you will look great!

At Emerge we will cover all of these topics to help you put together an action plan that will place you on the right track and keep you there no matter what your goal is.  You will learn everything you need to about resistance training (lifting weights), recovery times (rest), and nutrition.

Basically we will teach you how to jack your metabolic rate up so you can burn as much body fat as you want.  I will also teach you how to gain as much muscle as your body will let you, and maybe even a little more.  With your desire and our techniques, you will be able to reach and surpass your fitness and body image goals.
