Women Only Fat Loss Tips

Women Only Fat Loss Tips
I train and design fat loss programs for a lot of women.
The main concepts of every single one of my fat loss
programs are always the same.

They focus on 5 principles that I'm going to reveal to you
now.

1) Do less cardio. This is by far the one that is hardest
for most ladies to stick to. I don't know why, but ladies
love long, boring, joint pounding cardio sessions. I think
it's because most women think that by doing resistance
training, they're going to magically turn into a guy and
get big, hulking muscles and grow a beard, so they do lots
and lots of slow cardio in their "fat burning zone" to get
around this.

I'm sorry ladies, but that's not how it works. First
there's no such thing as a fat burning zone. It's a myth
that should be laid to rest for good.

Second, I want you to stop thinking about calories burned
while doing the workout and start thinking about the amount
of fat burned while not exercising. There is a way to do
your cardio that gets you done in as little as 15 minutes
that burns more fat throughout the remainder of the day
than 90 minutes of moderate cardio in your fat burning zone.

It's called interval training. All interval training means
is you mix short bouts of intense activity with longer
bouts of moderate activity.

Take the treadmill as an example. After you warm-up, you
would run relatively fast for 20 seconds, followed by a
slow jog for 60 seconds, repeat that until you've gone
about 12 minutes. Then cool down and you're done. If you
do it correctly, I promise you you'll feel worked when
you're done and you'll be in and out of the gym quicker
than most of the other ladies warm-up.

2) Eat more fiber.

Fiber is king when it comes to fat loss. Eat more of it
and you will lose fat. Just start adding more fruits,
vegetables, healthy nuts and beans to your daily diet and
you'll notice results within days.

3) Stop drinking diet soda. Diet soda, believe it or not,
can be making you gain weight. How is that you ask?
Because it makes many ladies retain water. As if you
didn't have enough of that to worry about already, now you
have to worry about diet sodas making you retain water.

So, stop drinking them and you may lose upwards of 10
pounds in a week.

4) Do resistance training 3 times per week. No, you won't
get big burly muscles like a guy. In fact, many guys have
trouble getting big muscles. It's very, very hard to gain
1 pound of muscle and it's even harder for women because
they naturally don't have the hormones.

But doing resistance training doesn't necessarily mean you
have to go hang out with the boys. Just stick to 3 full
body workouts that focus on full body movements like
push-ups, rows, squats, lunges and full body core movements
like planks and mountain climbers rather than crunches.

Doing so will burn a lot more fat and tone your arms and
legs much faster than doing isolation movements like bicep
curls, triceps kickbacks and the inner thigh machines.

5) Stop doing so many crunches.

It drives me crazy to hear that people do hundreds of
crunches everyday. That will not give you a flat, sexy
stomach. It may strengthen those muscles, but what good
does that do if they're hidden below a layer of flabby goo?

You have to get rid of the stomach fat by following the
previous 4 tips I gave you. That's how you get the firm,
flat tummy you've always wanted. That's how you get rid of
the muffin top and fit into those skinny jeans you've
always wanted.

Not by doing endless amounts of crunches.
