Reach Your Ideal Weight
PHC helps you get there.
Body Composition Matters
Want to lose weight? Why? Weight is a measure of muscle, fat, internal organs, blood volume, water and bone. The scale doesn’t distinguish between fat loss and muscle loss. It doesn’t tell you if weight gain is fat, muscle or water retention. Using it as a tool to measure the results of your fitness efforts can be frustrating.
A Better Way
What you’re really after is better body composition. The right ratio of muscle to fat that results in the health and appearance you want. When you attain that, then it’s time to step on the scale. That’s your ideal weight.
Your Fat Furnace
A smart strategy for achieving and maintaining your ideal weight is increasing your body’s ability to burn calories. The more efficient your body becomes at burning calories, the less likely you will store the calories you eat as fat. At the same time, your body is more likely to draw upon stored body fat to meet your increased energy needs. Think of this as your fat furnace.
How PHC Turns Up Your Fat Furnace
We have the strategies and tools to not only help you achieve your ideal weight but maintain it for good. Here’s a few of the ways PHC can help you turn up your fat burning furnace:
Building Your Aerobic Capacity
It’s about improving your body’s ability to use oxygen. You do this with cardiovascular exercise. As you improve your aerobic conditioning you’ll burn more calories in less time. You’ll also boost your metabolism for hours after your workout. It’s like turning your fat furnace up another 10 degrees.
PHC offers a diverse line of cardiovascular equipment. Treadmills, upright and recumbent bikes, rowing machines, steppers, ellipticals and more. And you’ll get more from your workouts with heart rate monitors and cardio-theater.
Building Lean Muscle
The more lean muscle tissue you have, the more calories you’ll burn at rest. (Get more on this here.) Adding muscle jacks up your fat furnace all day and all night long. Resistance training builds lean muscle. PHC offers free weights, strength training machines, and a variety of other options for adding fat burning lean muscle tissue to you body.
