Eric Maher lives in Sparks, Nevada and joined a 12-week fitness challenge at Anytime Fitness Reno/Sparks to help hold himself accountable during the holiday season. The 12-week challenge began when I first tested on the InBody. If you look at my results from the start of the challenge to now, my BMI went down 0.3. But looking at my InBody Results showed that my Skeletal Muscle Mass went up 3 pounds and my body fat went down by 7 pounds.
Levels of glucose in the blood naturally rise after you have eaten, resulting in beta cells releasing insulin to ensure this glucose can reach different cells in your body. Once your body has used all the energy it requires, any remaining glucose is stored as small amounts called glycogen. The brain requires glucose for brain cell energy. A 2011 study examining two groups of people, one group eating a Western diet of high fats and sugar and the other group eating a diet low in saturated fat and sugar, found that the group consuming a Western diet displayed poorer mental performance in relation to hippocampal sensitive memory tasks.
But in your research, you’ve found that there’s a debate — one between which training modality is best for the resistance training portion of your efforts to lose weight and improve body composition: free weights or bodyweight exercises. As a quick review, here’s the “science” definition of strength training (also referred to as “resistance training”) courtesy of Mosby’s Medical Dictionary: “a method of improving muscular strength by gradually increasing the ability to resist force through the use of free weights, machines, or the person’s own body weight. Using free weights for your resistance training involves lifting weights that are external to your body — i.e., adding resistance to a barbell with weighted plates and lifting it, or using dumbbells. Bodyweight exercises can be convenient, easy to start with, and potentially build and protect your joints, but the limitations of lower-body strength on a bodyweight-only workout regimen make lifting weights — at least for your lower body — still worthwhile.
