Maybe you are a new mom or maybe you've hit menopause and
your body hasn't bounced back like you feel it should. One
of the reasons this happens is that your hormones fluctuate
causing an imbalance. Also, other factors like eating too
much, and not exercising enough can contribute to this as
well. Many women want to know how to lose belly fat and
other problem areas like hips, glutes, and thighs.
The latest research shows that women can train their bodies
in a way that their hormones will respond in helping lose
that stubborn belly fat. When you learn to train your body
the right way, you train your hormones.(which include
insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon and much more)
Especially, cortisol which is a hormone that is produced
when you are stressed. I see this in many women as they
feel overwhelmed with the day to day life either being a
new mom or aging.
First let's address what doesn't work. The old way of
thinking is doing a set of bicep curls then rest for a
minute and do another. This is very ineffective training
when your goal is to take control of your body and develop
a sculpted physique and shed that stubborn body fat.
Another ineffective method of training is what has been
called super slow training, pushing and pulling weight at a
very slow rate. This doesn't do anything to train your
hormones because it simply doesn't elicit a big enough
shift in your body, (such as growth hormone-that builds
lean muscle) to turn your body into a fat-burning machine.
Another ineffective way is walking on the treadmill or just
leisurely walking. Too much steady state cardio will in
fact produce too much cortisol which is exactly what you
don't want. Many women still think that cardio is the best
way to lose belly fat and inches and this is definitely not
true. Especially if you are on a low calorie diet which
will compound the problem, shutting your metabolism down
and producing more hormonal fluctuations that take you away
from a lean body
So what can you do to effectively train your hormones for
fat loss?
It's called Metabolic Training. This is where you are
mixing up various methods of training all in one to produce
some incredible hormonal shifts in your body. An example
segment of this type of workout is the following:
Flat dumbbell press (8-12 reps) make sure the weight is
challenging. Rows with pulley bands (alternate feet and do
10 fast reps on each side) Treadmill sprints (30-60 sec
intervals) Repeat 3-4 times- no rest is taken in between
the sets
This is only part of the workout and believe me once you
train like this you won't want to go back to your old
routine. These workouts, in conjunction with the right fat
loss program, gives you 2x your fat burning results than an
ordinary program would. Too many women become frustrated
losing the extra body fat after having kids or when they
have reached menopause. The secret is having the right
information, in the right order, and applying to achieve
your fat loss goals.
