There’s no doubt that network television shows focused on the weight loss are ratings grabbers. Everyone likes to see obese individuals conquer their eating issues, lose weight, gain confidence and most importantly, good health.
According to instructors with the Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) program at Cortiva Institute School of Massage Therapy, one of the main reasons individuals featured on these shows have such weight loss success is that they often work out several hours each day – sometimes as many as seven – a lot more than most of us can fit in within the 9 to 5 grind.
Contestants on the show can burn anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 calories a day. For the rest of us, 1,000 calories per day is tough enough to achieve. CPTs follow specific protocols to ensure the quickest possible weight loss result while avoiding injury. That includes nutrition, exercise and lifestyle change. It may not be as riveting as what you see on TV, but the results can be no less significant.
