Know your body



1. How Does Weight Loss Work?

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest every 24 hours. To lose your excess pounds, you need to increase your RMR and decrease your calorie intake. Here’s how:

1. Cut back on calories:
Eat 500 calories less than your RMR daily and you will lose one pound of excess weight per week.


2. Exercise:
Burn several hundred extra calories a day with your favorite activity to lose weight faster.


3. Weight Training:
Increase your muscle mass with weight training and you’ll boost your metabolic rate, to burn even more calories daily. For each 10 pounds of muscle you gain, your RMR will increase by 140.

2.What Shape Are You?



When it comes to fat distribution, every body falls into one of three body shapes:
The Upper: Face, neck, chest and waist.
The Lower: Hips and thighs.
The Proportionate: Throughout the upper and lower body.

3 Body Shapes for Women


Upper:

Usually caused by lack of exercise and the wrong diet. The bad news: Excess weight around your waist can put your health at risk. The good news: ShapeWorks can help remodel your lean-to-fat ratio to improve both your shape and your health.

Lower:

Often partially inherited. The bad news: It can be the toughest fat to lose. The good news: This shape is not associated with specific health risks. Increasing your protein intake with ShapeWorks and incorporating lower-body workout routines in your exercise program are key.

Proportionate:

Usually caused by the wrong diet. The bad news: Too much weight, even if it’s evenly distributed, can put your health at risk. The good news: ShapeWorks can help improve your lean-to-fat ratio for a leaner, healthier you.
