I’m going to a new gym that just opened up right now and they had a party on tonight and they were offering free body composition analysis (electronic impedance) and I’m trying to set an overall goal for myself so I have something to strive for. I know just do your best but it still would be nice to have a goal.

my current stats are
Weight 285.6 Lean Weight 176lbs
Fat% 38.4 Fat weight 109.6

my goal is to have 12% body fat but it’s the goal of how much muscle I want to put on that’s the question. I don’t want to look like a juice pig….just nice and fit

scenario one

Weight 242 Lean weight 213 fat% 12 Fat weight 39 so I would have to lose 70.6 lbs of fat and gain 37lbs of muscle

scenario two

weight 227 lean weight 200 fat%12 fat weight 27 would have to lose 82.6 lbs fat and gain 24lbs muscle

last one was weight 215 lean weight 190 fat 12% fat weight 25 so would need to lose 84.6 lbs fat and gain 14 lbs muscle
I’m just having a hard time because I can’t visualize the muscle gain so I don’t know if 14/24/37 would be right…….any suggestions would be welcomed
thanks for the responses so far and for the support in the second one. Weight training is important because muscle burns fat more than nothing at all and it is important to also know that your body doesn’t enter into fat burning mode until about after 20 mins of cardio so it is actually best to warm up for 10 mins and then do your weight lifting routine followed by your cardio that way you are already in fat burning mode and your cardio will burn fat the entire time. If you don’t do strength bearing exercises along with cardio you stand a risk of losing muscle mass which is counter intuitive. I’ve read Fat wars by brad king and many other sources so I got a feel for what I need to do, I’m just trying to visualize the result a bit and figure out how much fat I want to lose. I’m 5′8 but my lean mass right now is 176 so obviously I don’t want to go below whatever 176 is plus 12% body fat

I saw one of those drama shows on Spanish speaking tv, like “Lo que callamos las mujeres” about a little girl that went without eating for like a week and was diagnosed anorexic. What I can’t wrap my mind around is how much does someone who suffers from anorexia want to weigh? Do they even have an ideal weight in mind? Do these people not set goals or something?

With more self-confidence, you can allow emotions to rise and fall naturally. You can experience emotions that used to control you and gain a better understanding of yourself.

Men and women are using their mind power to beat back pain and headaches, to lose weight, to improve performance and a wide range of other uses. Current research is showing how the mind-body connection can be used as a powerful healing tool. A study from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine revealed that over 36% of adults are using some form of alternative, mind-body therapy. When prayer, affirmation, and positive suggestion are included, the numbers rise to 60%.

Mind-body therapies such as hypnosis, EMDR, and yoga will continue to grow in popularity because they empower people to transform themselves. People are taking back their ability to change themselves from within. An affirmative, calming thought held in the mind has a physical effect on the body. Studies are showing how simple self-hypnosis techniques ease pain of surgery, reduce time of procedures and quicken recovery time. People are combining mind-body techniques with traditional healing modalities and taking charge of their own healing and transformation.

Everyone can learn simple, easy to use techniques to begin changing their lives. Self-hypnosis is a natural, unused skill that all people have. Permanent changes can be experienced using positive affirmations and suggestions .

This CD uses binaural beat frequencies. Binaural beats are internal auditory responses which result from the interaction of two different sounds in opposite ears. For example, if a tone of 400 Hz is heard in the right ear and a tone of 410 Hz is heard simultaneously in the left ear, the difference between the two tones, 10 hz, is perceived in the brain.
