3) Your client has appeared to be doing everything right coming into the gym every day (six days per week) and doing his extra hour of aerobic exercise to get back into shape for his hiking trip later this year. You check in with him while he is on the treadmill and know that he is working at the intensity you prescribed; yet, he is not losing any weight. He is not gaining weight either, but everyone is starting to wonder why he has not started to lose weight. He is a 100 kg man in his 40s, who has been walking on the treadmill at 10% grade and 3.5 mph for an hour to prepare for his hiking trip. Just from doing this aerobic exercise six days a week, how many calories would you have expected him to expend weekly, and by the end of in the first month (4 weeks) of training? Also calculate these values as pounds and kilograms of fat mass loss. Write a summary sentence including the following expectations: number of calories expended per week, fat mass lost per week, and by the end of the first month.
