There is soon to be a new focus at Coach K Fitness on the numbers 36 and 30.
The number 36 is used by famous or infamous Dr. Oz as to the maximum waist measurement for men and women. His idea is to focus on this measurement and less on the # on the scale. I agree with this to a certain point, as there is significant evidence about the correlation of "belly fat" and cardiac disease as well as other systemic problems.
The number 30 relates to Body Fat %. Anything over 30% puts a person into the Obese range, not the layman term of "a little overweight". I prefer using this method as a person, especially women can have a small waistline but still be obese- hence the fitness term "skinny fat". For women, this is critical as it puts them more at risks for Osteoporosis, risks for falls and general loss of functional independence.
So stay tuned, as all clients at Coach K Fitness will soon be recording their measurements and taking the appropriate actions to make corrections as needed.
