Bill – Lynn, what do you think is the biggest
obstacle to overcome for someone trying to reach their ideal
weight?
Lynn – Sticking with it. Without a doubt sticking
with a program is the hardest part of losing fat and keeping
it off. The way to overcome this obstacle is through a bit
of planning, a touch of fat loss education, a kick-butt
fitness program, a smart menu, and results.
Seeing healthy and positive results
yields excellent motivation.
Bill – How did you get started
as a personal trainer?
Lynn – A good friend of mine was
opening her own fitness center. She was having a tough time
finding quality employees to work for her. She asked me to
become the fitness center manager. I had NO experience in
the fitness industry at that time. I only had an extensive
background in sports.
Despite that, I decided to take the
management position. After hiring trainers and watching the
interactions between trainer and client, it became
increasingly clear to me that I had a passion to provide
guidance and focus to those people who were serious about
their life.
I became certified and started my
training career. I was surprised to see how many trainers
lacked motivation and pizzazz. I used that to my
advantage. I became the best trainer I could be through
providing life-changing results to all of my clients. Word
got out and within a short time my training business
exploded. It’s all about delivering results and teaching
people how to feel great and in charge of their lives.
I’m in the business of empowering
folks.

Bill – Lynn, I think that many
women who are trying to lose weight are reluctant to lift
weights for fear of becoming muscle bound. Can you help
dispel that myth for our readers?
Lynn – Absolutey- it is NOT
true! Myth busted! Seriously though, women cannot get big
and bulky like some guys do. One of the most important
reasons is that women do not have enough testosterone to
build large muscles. Men have plenty of testosterone and
therefore can build larger muscles.
Now some women, like professional
bodybuilders, have very cut and defined bodies. These women
center their life around bodybuilding. They eat a strict
diet, they train hard (very hard!), they have a team of
coaches, nutritionists and trainers.
For most women looking to “tone up” and
get fit, lifting a 10, 20, 30 pound weight is not going to
result in big, bulky muscles. It just is not that easy to
build muscle. I’ll go as far as to say that lifting a 3 or 5
pound weight is not going to do much for most women.
Lifting heavy (once you are warmed up
and used to the movement) is typically the key to amazing
results.
Bill – Can anyone follow your
Melt the Fat guide or is it just designed for women?
Lynn – It is designed and
written with a woman in mind, but many men have bought and
benefited from the ebook. The reality is most men and women
will train the exact same way. They’ll lift the same amount
of reps and they’ll perform the same exercises. The only
major thing that is different is the amount of weight
lifted. Men can typically lift heavier weights.
Melt the Fat has sold across the
world because it works. It is not some miracle program. It
is a collection of common sense, results-focused programs
that focus on one thing- ensuring healthy and safe fat loss.
Men and women are seeking a
step-by-step program. Melt the Fat delivers above
and beyond. The testimonials and success stories show
that. I even offer a refund policy. Try the ebook for at
least 30 days. If it doesn’t provide results- get your
money back!
Bill – Can the Melt the Fat
program be followed from home with minimal equipment or does
one need to join a gym?
Lynn – You know the funny thing
is that most people assume I train in a fancy-schmancy gym
with top quality equipment and machines. I train in my home
with a stability ball, adjustable bench, free weight set and
a barbell. That’s it.

Melt the Fat has routines that
can be done at home and in the gym. It’s all covered.
There are Plyometric routines, at-home routines, in-the-gym
routines and variations of those three.
Bill – What are some things a
person could expect to learn by purchasing your Melt the
Fat ebook?
Lynn – They can expect the
truth. I don’t try to sell anything else. I don’t push a
certain diet or brand of supplements. I actually tell folks
what to avoid and what to seek out in their nutrition
programs.
I also go one step further- I provide
everything people need to know about being totally,
holistically healthy. I provide over 800 meal suggestions.
I provide over 100 strength training routines. I hand over
loads of strength training, cardio and nutrition information
in bite-sized, manageable, plain-English talk. There is no
scientific talk!
Expect success. I tell all of my site
visitors to expect success. Melt the Fat is the program of
choice for so many people because it walks you through YOUR
fat loss process. It starts with reasons and goals. An
Action Plan if you will.
From there it gets into the
nitty-gritty details of creating your own fitness routine
and menu. Even if you select to forego creating your own
program… it’s totally fine. I have tons and tons of sample
programs and menus to select from.
Bill – One of my weight loss
industry peeves is the before and after pictures from diet
supplement ads. You know - the ones where the person
suddenly has a great tan, whiter teeth, and two attractive
members of the opposite sex hanging off their arm – all in
only six weeks after taking the magic weight loss pill! Do
you have any weight loss industry peeves?
Lynn – That’s also one of my pet
peeves. Those photos are air brushed, and the small type at
the bottom of the ad reads “Results Are Not Typical.”
Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves is
the way women are expected to wear a size 4 and look
“perfect” at all times. The reality is that is NOT
reality. It’s so sad how many companies are getting rich
off of the cash of female insecurities.
Women are bombarded with images of
tall, skinny, flawless faces day in and day out. We spend
our entire lives chasing an image that is not healthy. I’d
love the advertising, fashion, cosmetic and fitness industry
to start focusing on real women with real lives.
My goal is to talk incessantly about
this issue. A beautiful woman is one who is secure,
powerful, and happy. Happy inside. No diet pill will
provide that. No miracle diet will provide that. A clean
bill of health and a feeling of focus and pride WILL create
happiness.
Bill – Lynn, I want to commend
you for your achievements. You have taken personal training
to the World Wide Web, created a complete fat loss course
for less than the price of one personal training session at
a gym, and you also go a step further and answer
emails from your customers! This type of service (Along with
your money back guarantee) sets you out from the rest.

Lynn – Thanks for the
recognition, Bill. It means a lot coming from someone such
as your self. And thank you for the opportunity to share a
bit of my story with your readers.
Bill – Any last words for our
readers?
Lynn – Yes, think about your
dreams. Then give your dreams a voice and make them goals.
Provide action to your goals and make them your new
reality. You are the factor that can make or break your
life. Take charge of it, find your own way and succeed!
You’ll never have regrets if you follow your heart.
Bill – Thank you again for
taking time out of your busy schedule to visit with our
readers.
