Training for fat loss

Did you know that 30.7 percent of adults are considered overweight and 42 percent have obesity? Roughly 48 percent of men and 61 percent of women in the United States have reported they desire to lose weight. But what is the best exercise method to use when training for fat loss? In this episode, NSCA certified trainer Aaron Patterson, M.S., discusses training for fat loss and explores what the research says about the topic. 

Certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Aaron has over 11 years of experience as a personal trainer and sport performance coach. He holds specialty certifications as a Certified Weightlifting Performance Coach (CWPC), Certified Speed and Agility Coach (CSAC), and Certified Tennis Performance Specialist (CTPS). In addition, he is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (in training) helping athletes improve their mental performance. As a track and field coach specializing in jumps and sprints, Aaron is also a Certified American Sport Education Program Coach, and is a member of the National High School Strength Coaches Association (NHSSCA), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). Aaron completed his Master of Science in Kinesiology, Exercise and Sport Psychology, from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.
