Describe Patty Neavill's experience in achieving her weight loss and fitness goals
What will be an ideal response?
Patty enrolled in a fitness course. At the end of the 16-week semester during which she followed a prescribed exercise and nutrition program like the one in this book, Patty's cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility ratings had all improved from poor to the good category; her weight decreased from 240 to 190 pounds; and her percent body fat had decreased from 41 to 22.5, which was lower than the average for college female physical education major students (about 23% body fat). Patty maintained her aerobic and strength-training programs. A year after ending her calorie-restricted diet, her weight increased by 10 pounds, but her body fat decreased from 22.5 to 21.2%. The 2-year follow-up revealed a further decrease in body fat, to 19.5%. Patty understood the new quality of life reaped through a sound fitness program, and at the same time, she finally learned how to apply the principles that regulate weight maintenance.
