So today in the locker room at swim practice one of the girls meantioned how she is SUPPOSE to be losing a pound a week. I asked her why she would even think that, and she told me how she put all of her information into a pyramid her teacher told her to do and it came out saying she should. Basically she had to put in how much she weighed, her hieght,what she eats daily,how much she works out and etc. I think that programs like that are giving people false hopes , i mean sure it may help you have some sort of idea but it isnt something to live by. We asked our weights coach about it and he said that the work out idea to the pyramid is not enough, Because what people burn during work out is very different. Since i have been swimming competitively since i was six, if i put in that i work out 4 hours a day swimming, i will not burn as much as someone who rarely swims and goes and swims for an hour. Since your body builds endurance too specific things you do everyday, thats why you have to change up your work outs. I know that post was random and really has nothing to do with much, but just trying to make people aware that if you are doing this pyramid method and not dropping weight, its not completely your fault, hang in there !
