More results in eight weeks than I had in three years.
Number sixteen in a series about what clients have to say about their workouts.
Barbi was an avid runner. She began
strength training eight weeks ago. Barbi had this to say, “I have had more results in eight weeks than in three years working out with another trainer”.
With strength training in order to produce a change the body has to perform more work than it is used to handling. Then, given adequate time to recover and adequate nutrition, the body adapts as a form of self-protection by becoming stronger.
Exercise, two steps forward and one step back - not necessarily
It has long been assumed that if you don’t head back to the gym a few days after you last session your positive results will begin to dwindle. Take a couple weeks off from 
running and you will find that that will usually be that case. Take a week or two off from weight training and you might find that you come back stronger.
Muscle tone
Muscle tone or tonus is the slight contraction of muscle even when it is at rest. Muscle tone comes from having strong muscles. Athletes who look incredibly toned are that way because they are strong.

eir expectations for changing how they look are unrealistic. Flashy fitness ads and promises of suspect exercise devices reinforce these unrealistic expectations.
