Kirstie Alliey's Weight Issue
I just read the May 18th issue of People Magazine.  Kirstie Alley was on the cover and she has gained back all the weight she lost.  It seems like she has been the focus of the tabloids and paparazzi for quite some time.  I give her a lot of credit for talking to the public about her weight issues.

She lost a bunch of weight and got down to 140 pounds, but now she is up to 228 pounds which is the heaviest she has ever been.  She was even the spokesperson for Jenny Craig.  She had discipline and a regimented eating plan, but then she let all that go.  She stopped exercising and started eating lots Chinese food, sugar and butter.

According to the article, she is now ready to get back on track.  My question is: How long will she stay with it this time?

This cycle of gaining a ton of weight and then losing it takes a huge toll on the body.  The fact that she can discipline herself enough to lose the weight and reach certain goals is great, but there is something that just isn’t right if the she can’t stick with a program.

What kind of help does she need?  She needs to first lay a strong foundation.  Many of these celebrity trainers strictly emphasize the importance of a strong core or otherwise known as stomach muscles.  I agree that a strong core is very important, but in order to get to that stage you have to first lay an even stronger foundation.  That foundation is cardiovascular exercise.  The heart must be strong and efficient in order for out bodies to function properly.  This step cannot be skipped.  Our heart controls our blood pressure and is directly related to our overall health.  A heavy person simply cannot perform the same abdominal strengthening exercises that a fit lean person can.  The range of motion is not there and the extra weight prevents them from performing the exercises correctly.  Stomach exercises can always be modified for the heavier person, but my point is that when too much emphasis is placed on core (stomach) exercises when a person is heavy then they aren’t really establishing the most important framework needed to take them to the next level.  Excess weight is an indirect sign that the heart is not efficient and is a major barrier to long-term success.

I’m not sure what Kirstie Alley’s routine was, but if I was her trainer I would get her ready for a triathlon.  I would spend a lot of time making sure her technique was very good on many different cardiovascular machines.  I would show her real progress through a consistent calorie burning cardio routine.  I would then slowly introduce more core and resistance exercises.  If her cardiovascular system was truly fit then I don’t believe she would ever have gained all the weight back again.

It’s very rare to see someone with a lean body and athletic heart just stop exercising and start eating whatever they want and gain a ton of weight.  Why?  Because it’s a lifestyle.  Athletes rarely just stop being athletes.  However, if someone goes from obese to slim through cutting way back on food and mostly non-cardio workouts then it’s quite common to see this not stick.  Why?  Because it’s too hard to maintain.  They feel like they are starving themselves all the time and finally they just snap.  This happens with lots and lots of people. 

So my prediction is that since Kirstie Alley is so fed up with her weight that she will undergo this drastic change and probably lose a bunch of weight.  She’ll probably be on the cover or some magazine in a year looking much better.  Just give it some time.  Most likely she’ll be right back to where she is today unless she learns how to get fit and lay that foundation that I’m talking about.  I don’t like to be negative, but I’m just looking at the odds here.  It’s not easy to be fit.  It’s a lifestyle change, but it’s so worth it.  The weight is not Kirstie’s problem.  Her lifestyle is the problem.

I hope Kirstie sees this, and I hope she decides to replace those weight machines in her living room with some Killer Cardio Machines.
