10,000 steps a day is great. Get those steps in. But, (as some of my cleints have seen me demonstrate), if the goal is to lose pounds, the pace of your walk needs to increase dramatically. If you can walk and hold a conversation, that may not be fast enough. 10,000 steps can be great as a recovery strategy or for general health, but losing those last few pounds needs a more intense effort most times.

How many calories does walking 10,000 steps a day burn? Find out what affects calorie burn, how it supports fat loss, and what actually works.

This client is 265 lbs. 41 years old. Mostly muscle. For 7 years he been training 6 days per week, (3 days Crossfit style and 3 days bodybuilding style). He's not losing fat like he use to. I gave him a couple of options based upon his InBody results, initial lab data results, and further investigation of his nutritional habits.

This is a lifestyle. Not a thing to do for a season.

I've been talking about using body fat percentage over BMI for years. Glad studies are catching up and more doctors and insurance companies should act accordingly.

You are what you do consistently. When I sit down with potential clients, the one thing I hear is "I know what to eat, I just....". Knowing what to do and doing it are two very different things.
