8 FAT BURNING FITNESS TIPS
1. Weights/Intervals
Burns Fat Faster: Doing a weightlifting program coupled with
intervals—alternating high-intensity bursts of riding a stationary bike or
running with a recovery period—is the best way to burn fat faster in addition to reshaping the body sooner. You can do them on seperate days or combined to save time and burn the most calories.
2. Stay
Hydrated: Drink plenty of purified water before, during and
after exercise. Keeping the body
hydrated will fuel your muscles and give aid in warding off fatigue as well as remove toxins from the body.
3. Strength Train Often: Alternate
doing upper body and lower body exercises at least 3 days a week, every other day is best. Be sure to do intervals after strength
training to burn the deep fat for energy and fat loss. Use free weights to use
more muscles and effectiveness. Free
weights cause you to use more muscles than using machines that are designed for
one muscle group.
4. Lift Heavy to Sculpt: Women
often choose light weights because they’re afraid they’ll get too big. The truth is only professional women body builders
have the brute strength to lift heavy enough to add major size and volume.
5. Increase
the weight or Reps: Choose a weight that you can definitely
lift eight, maybe 10, but definitely not 12 times. Do 10 reps in a set the first time, then 12,
then 15, and once you're doing sets of 15, increase the weight and go back to
10 reps per set.
6. Form is Everything: Proper
form is everything when lifting weights. Always lift in front of a mirror. If you aren’t sure how to lift correctly look
up the exercise online there are tons of articles and images to choose from,
print them off and place then were you can referred to them easily, or hire a
fitness coach to help you.
7. Fuel Your Body with the Foods it Needs: If you truly want to look lean by summer
then eat what your body craves--good, whole nutrition. Eat plenty of lean protein,
fresh fruit, veggies and clean fats such as flax seed oil or fish oil and raw almonds. As I always say, if God didn’t make it don’t
eat it. Processed foods are filled with toxins, stay clear of all junk
food, it will only make you tired, stressed, fatigues and you will have to workout harder in the gym to see little
progress if any. Proper nutrition is
essential when living a LivFit Lifestyle.
8. Log Your Success: Keep
a diet and fitness log in addition to a gratitude journal. Each day write what you ate and what exercises yhou did, along with how
you felt and how proud you were of yourself. Then retire by giving thanks for
your miraculous body and the fantastic day you had. By focusing on the positive your subconscious
mind will create new beliefs which support your heart’s desires of achieve success.
By doing these simple tips you will be able
to transform your physique by summer. Follow through ~ consistency is key! Plan ahead, make your workouts count and eat
smart, and before you know it you will be stronger, leaner and more confident
than ever before!
Happy training!
