Stop thinking about weight loss. Our main focus at EarthFIT Gym and the number one step for almost everybody is Beaufort fat loss. Having a well-built, lean, toned body isn’t about how much people weigh. Even if your objective or goal is not to appear like Arnold Schwarzenegger with 260 pounds of pure muscles but simply to look like one of the famous person or a superstar walking down the red carpet, then you’ll absolutely want to benefit from “the science of body recomposition” that is entirely embraced at EarthFIT.

“The science of body re-composition is more than just losing the unwanted pounds. It is about making sure that you shed pounds of fat, while maintaining—or even increasing—muscle mass.” This method of Beaufort fat loss offers various advantages. Keeping this focus in mind guarantees that after you achieve your goal you do not end up with saggy and weak body. Instead when you lose the fat and keep your muscles, the result is you will become stronger and toned.

This is exactly what you will achieve if you work out at EarthFIT Gym in Beaufort. The measure of your progress is not how many pounds you lost but how much fat you lost. Measuring actual fat loss is possible, your body fat percentage can be determined through any of the available method:

-Skin calipers

-Bioelectrical impedance devices

-Hydrostatic weighing or even the gold-standard expensive method Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA scanning).

“Your body fat percentage is estimated at baseline, and then repeat estimates are taken ,using the same instrument, and are compared to original readings to get an accurate estimation of fat loss and potential muscular gains. Fat loss is revered especially when you manage to add even a few pounds of muscle. This drastically changes your metabolic needs at rest. In everyday lingo that translates to more calories burnt while you are doing absolutely nothing. Interestingly, many obese or very overweight people try to determine their caloric needs per day based, using all the available formulas, by just plugging in their actual weights. In many instances, this results in an erroneously high estimate because what is happening is that the large mass of fat in their bodies are throwing the numbers off, because it is inert, it does not actually burn any calories. When the fat mass is large enough, the numbers yielded can be ridiculously high (nearing 3500 calories per day at times.) Even a modest fat loss in these cases can help improve the accuracy of the estimation of daily maintenance caloric needs.”

Fat loss is at the back of the health benefits of general weight loss. While fat is metabolically inert, it is biologically active. It’s kind of confusing, right? But for you to know, “Adipose tissue (fat) does not burn calories but it manufactures a variety of hormones, including the female hormone Estrogen. Males definitely don’t want that in their system! And it is also detrimental for females. Hyperestrogenaemia (too much Estrogen) is implicated in breast and endometrial cancers.”

EarthFIT gym in Beaufort will help you do it the right way whether your Beaufort fat loss goals are motivated by vanity or health consciousness!
