More Lessons from Health Education: Leverage your Strengths
In Health Education, there is a set of principles and methods called Community Organizing.

Put In The Work
One of the things I stress with clients is that the low hanging fruit should be picked first. It's fairly standards in this field for clients and trainers to "go for broke" and set up really complicated programming to reach their goal.

Exercise doesn’t burn fat by itself, from the “no f*cking duh” catagory.
Exercise doesn’t burn a lot of calories under the best of circumstances ( think 100 kcal/mile during a marathon ), hence why exercise is a bad idea if it is going to be your only means of trying to reduce fat mass.
