Every week I get emails from women asking their fat burning
questions. The following is one that I received from a
subscriber.
Q. What is the best combination of fat-burning & firming?
A. In order to maximize your fat burning potential, just
doing one thing will not work. Also, a "one size fits all
approach", doesn't work either. It is a combination of
things that will help you achieve a lean, fit body. Many
women want to lose the belly fat, sculpt and firm up their
glutes, and slim down their hips but are following a plan
that does not work for them.
Women have different metabolisms and body types so what
works for one woman will not work necessarily work for
another.
The following are the 5 most important things you need to
know about fat burning and firming:
1. Whole body workouts. These are the best to burn fat
because you burn more calories per workout (using exercises
like squats, dumbbell presses, and rows are just a few
examples of exercises that you would include in a fat
burning workout)
2. Doing workouts that are worth your time. If you are
pressed for time, don't waste your time only doing workouts
that involve small muscle groups like shoulders.
Compound movements, will burn more calories and target your
shoulders as well. You can do a whole body workout at least
3x a week in order to get the maximum fat burning results.
3. Intensity is your friend. If you are not feeling it,
then you are not going to see the results you want (this
means challenging your muscles each time you workout) By
working out intensely you will burn more fat. This also
means using weight that makes you work. If you are afraid
of bulking up,it's okay because it just won't happen.
4. Eat your protein. I know speak about this a lot but so
many women out there aren't getting enough protein to blast
fat and firm up. You can have a great workout, but if your
nutrition is off then you won't see the results that you
want.
5. The right mindset. This is the #1 neglected part. It's
not about setting goals, it's about empowering yourself to
see no obstacle in your way of accomplishing the body that
you desire.
Putting the time and effort into this will pay off huge in
the end. I am talking about looking and feeling the way you
want.
Image yourself standing in front of the mirror and loving
what you see and feeling great. Keep this image in the
back of your mind and never let go of it until you have
reached your goal.
When it goes right down to it, you can have the best fat
burning and firming exercise and nutrition program, but
without the right mindset it will never happen.
