The secrets to achieving the lean athletic physique that you've
always wanted are held by Canada's top trainer, Yuri Elkaim.
Most people waste a lot of time in the gym with no real
direction or positive results. Fitness and wellness coaches,
such as Yuri Elkaim know there is a better way.
Yuri is a former professional soccer, Certified Kinesiologist,
Registered Holistic Nutritionist, the Head Strength &
Conditioning Coach for the nationally ranked University of
Toronto men's soccer program, and considered by many as Canada's
top trainer and fitness expert. He's created Fitter U™, the
world's only 12-week body shaping fitness program for iPod/MP3
players geared to helping people lose weight, burn fat, and
improve their fitness level. In this article, Amy Coates, Total
Wellness Consulting's nutrition expert will be interviewing Yuri
on various facets of weight loss.
AC: Hi Yuri. What is your general approach to helping people
lose fat?
YE: The basic concept for any fat loss program is to burn as
many calories as possible and maintain or increase lean tissue
(which is what burns the calories in the first place).
Regardless of how many calories you burn in training - once you
lose lean tissue (a typical problem) you burn less calories
overall - so your focus has to be on burning calories while
trying to offset that problem.
A study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition (8(3):
213-222, 1998) showed that 5 days a week of 45 min aerobic
training for 12 weeks had no effect on body composition over
dieting alone. Obviously even at these high levels of activity
there is still a problem.
AC: Where do you start working with an overweight person?
YE: With a full lifestyle and structural evaluation. Typically
the overweight person has so little structural integrity that a
resistance training program to target their weaknesses and
imbalances is my first approach. I also spend a lot of time
educating them on the importance of maintaining a positive and
unwavering mindset. Finally, I spend a good deal of time looking
at their food intake, analyzing the integrity of their digestive
system and supportive endocrine glands, and teach them how to
prepare healthy menu plans.
It's interesting that the typical program for an overweight
person is usually 1000's of reps (i.e. aerobics) which will
cause more problems. A superior system would be to target the
muscular system and control set duration and rest periods in
order to create the same metabolic and cardiovascular demand. My
approach is mirrored in the workouts and structure of my Fitter
U™ MP3 fitness program.
AC: What type of questions and lifestyle review do you do with
overweight clients? Are there any common factors among
overweight clients?
YE: Primarily I see people with a lack of knowledge, lack of
motivation, and lack of commitment to sticking to a program. I
would say that the majority of what I do lies in motivating my
clients and helping them bring their true potential and hidden
greatness to surface. Every single person has greatness just
waiting to be unleashed and I think it's a necessary step in the
process.
Common factors: structural weaknesses, flexibility issues (i.e.
they would be unable to walk on a treadmill for 15 minutes
continuously)
overweight, almost malnourished people all the time), lack of
motivation, and need the accountability.
AC: What physical concerns do you have to be careful of when
working with overweight clients and how do you take these into
account?
YE: Typically the biggest physical concern is that they are
overweight and unconditioned. That's a big enough problem right
there.
But it's not just overweight clients - it's EVERYONE! Every
client is different and presents different challenges.
Everyone should have a full evaluation performed by a qualified
professional. Any serious health and medical issues should be
cleared by a medical professional first.
Most trainers have a program in mind when someone walks in the
gym. I have NO IDEA what I'm going to do until I see the client
and evaluate them. If you're not assessing - you're just
guessing!
