Amy is a 39-year-old full-time working mother. She weighs 175 lbs and is 63 inches tall. She has a family history of Type II diabetes and heart disease on her father’s side. She’s come to you to help her meet her goals. She’d like to lose weight and tone up. She’s heard that lifting weights will make her bulky, so she’s never participated in a strength training program. She’s only walked in the past, but she’s never been consistent with any form of exercise. Her friend has recently
lost weight on a fad diet, and Amy mentions she’d like to try it too. She says she’d like to lose 25 lbs in the next 4 weeks before she goes on her family’s beach
vacation.


1. What would you tell her about fad diets?


2. Do you think a 25 lb loss in 4 weeks is an appropriate goal?


3. She’s hesitant to participate in resistance training because she thinks she’ll
get big and bulky. What would you tell her to ease her mind about RT?


4. Exercise Demonstration/Selection – You’re determined to get the most of
her time with you she’ll need to incorporate combination exercises that will
work the upper and lower body at the same time. What are some of those exercises?
