When or at what point do you start storing fat?
Any time that you consume more then you burn. That is a general answer. Really that’s a hard question to answer because it just depends. For instance:
Let’s say you eat a big meal of sugar and protein. As soon as that food starts to be broken down the nutrients will be shuttled into your blood stream and sent to areas of the body that need protein and/or sugar. If no areas need those nutrients then they get stored as fat. Except for protein that is handled a little differently, i.e. typically excreted. However, after exercise this scenario is a little different. Your body can handle more carbs after exercise and upon waking then at any other point in the day. So less carbs are turned into fat to be stored.
When do you start losing weight/inches?
When you call 632-1229 and sign up for fitness coaching.
How many calories a day would you have to burn before you start to lose inches?
Depends on your caloric intake and output.
BW x 9
12
15
Why is it these numbers? Why not 10, 11, 13, 14?
It actually is those numbers too. But if you strive for 15 cals per lb then you may actually hit your sweet spot at 12.765 cals per lb. Those are just estimates to aim for.
How do I count calories for my kids? You don’t. You should be counting hours of play/exercise.
Is the BW x 9,12 or 15 same for kids? Yes, but it can actually be higher because of their incredibly active metabolisms. But don’t worry about that, just feed them good food and have them play lots of active games. The Wii does not count.
Often time’s doctors tell you that you need to lose weight to bring your blood pressure down; assumption is genetics are not an issue and your exercise above average. Would you still say muscle build vs. fat loss is just as effective in this scenario? Weight loss will absolutely lower your blood pressure. So will diet though. Short term success, cardio and diet. Long term success, weights and diet with cardio added in as extra work.
Do you do HIIT at your gym and how that done without cardio?
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is “cardio”. Cardio is a mis-used term that is really a “catch all” to mean anything that brings your heart rate up.
We do HIIT pretty much exclusively.
Have you ever worked with someone who has celiac disease (no gluten) on their nutrition to work on weight reduction?
I actually prefer our members to try and eliminate gluten and processed foods from their diet. It is just bad news. It is safe to say that over 50% of the population is allergic to some degree to gluten. Seriously.

KDR Fitness will be hosting a lecture by Court Vreeland on Tuesday, October 20th at 7PM. It will be on the “Reduction of Pain and Inflammation NATURALLY”. Come learn how you can control the inflammation in your body and reduce your pain level and feel younger and healthier with simple dietary changes. The knowledge you will gain from this lecture is invaluable!
Dr. Vreeland is a board certified chiropractic neurologist. He attended Fairleigh Dickson University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and received his Doctorate from Logan College Of Chiropractic. Dr. Vreeland is also a Diplomat at the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. He practices in Norwich, VT.
I am totally psyched to hear Court speak. We usually spend a good 10-15 minutes talking about nutrition after his work out and I am always blown away by his knowledge base and the simplicity of his explanations. Do not miss this lecture!

How often should one see a fitness person?
That all depends on how fast you want results, how much time you have available during the week, where your current fitness level is, etc. Every one is a little different, however, generally I like to see my clients 2-4 times a week, with an average of 3 times a week.
Sounds too good! Who else is doing this? Nationwide? World Wide?
Anyone who is successful in my business!

Just to name a few.
The sad thing is there are more people who don’t do what I do than do. Really it comes down to information and either a lack there of or no desire to learn more. A lot of certifications require very little in terms of recertifications. Even for the NSCA-CSCS (one of the hardest certs to get and also the most prestigious) you only have to attend one to two seminars per year over 3 years to keep your cert.
What do you know about how menopause affects women and weight gain? The main thing with menopause is a drop in hormone levels and subsequently how different kinds of food affects hormone level. Really the main thing you are trying to control at all times is insulin level when we talk about fat loss. So with that being said, weight loss and muscle building is still possible during and post menopause. You just have to be much more strict with your food choices. How do you incorporate that into a program? Much more strict with the diet and supplementation.
How do I get motivated to do strength training when lifting weights feels so boring to me?
Pick a goal and shoot for it. I encourage my clients to train for something other thn what they really want. A lot of my clients have a performance goal in mind (for instance to do one perfect push up) that they are really striving for. There is a reason why athletes tend to have the body type most people want. If you train for sport, you look pretty good.
What type of cardio is best for weight loss? High Intensity Interval Training. Come to my lecture next time.
What foods should I eat to lose weight? High protein, moderate fat and low processed carbs. Statistically those types of diets have a higher success rate, are the easiest to maintain and are scientifically backed up with the most research supporting them.
Do the shoes I wear make a difference? Absolutely! Just like the tires should fit the season, the shoes should fit the foot and purpose.
What’s the best diet? See above.
If you are an endurance athlete (i.e. training for a half marathon), how do you lose weight? Huh, that is a different question than I’m used to. I would say (with only having the data you supplied me) adjust your diet and eat a few more carbs. I know I know! But endurance runners tend to need a little bit more energy than protein.
What would be a good/typical pre-bed snack? Low fat cottage cheese, protein powder, all natural almond butter or peanut butter and flax seed. If that doesn’t sound appetizing, lean protein and veggies.
How does one do HIIT training safely when overweight? (I’m worried about straining Knees, for example, while running so I generally stick with a slow jog pace). Anything can be HIIT; it all just depends on what you’re capable of. Walking at a 15% incline at 2.5 to 3.5 mph for a minute tends to get a lot of people.
What do you include in the programs you give your clients? All depends on what results they want. Typically: a dynamic warm up, movement prep/activation, pre-hab, core, main exercise and then an interval.
Cardio? If you’re in a weight gain/muscle Dev. Program? Easy walking on a treadmill at a high incline 2-3 times a week for no longer than 30 minutes each session. Make sure you consume some BCAA’s pre/during and post.
What are your thoughts on overtraining? Wouldn’t most athletes in session be overtraining? (Practice 5 days/wk for 3 hours game day sat and then repeat)- Over training is more about undereating than over working. Overtraining can happen any time someone isn’t recovering quickly enough. I also think true overtraining is a very hard state to get into.
Is it better to do HIIT after a resistance workout? The next day would be a little bit better. Although you can do a short 4-10 minute workout at the end of the session.
Explain the window for before and after your workout again? 2hrs. before and after? Typically the window encompasses 30 minutes before the workout to 2 hours after the workout. That is the time when you can lay a good foundation for work (30 minutes pre), start the repair and recovery process as early as during the exercise and finish the workout with key nutrients essential to rapid recovery at a time when your body is starving for those nutrients.
Do you have experience working with people with food addictions? If so, how do you address this issue? I personally do not. However, most people have very fond feelings towards favorite foods. I would suggest seeking professional help.
What can you replace lunges with? I would have to ask why you want to replace them? If it’s because of a pain issue in a joint, then you are probably doing the exercise wrong. Everyone can do a lunge; it is just an exaggerated step.
