2. I’ve also been busy this week writting a New Workout Program for You – Your Slimmer Thiner Thighs Program. I will be filming the workouts and taking all the exercise pictures this weekend – so this program should be available for you within the next 2 weeks.

So Now lets move onto the 17 Tips & Techniques you can use to Lose Stubborn Fat Fast

I’ve  made a list of the most helpful fat loss tips and strategies that if follwed will help you  lose stubborn fat fast, drop 10-15-20 pounds, 3-5 inches off your belly and increase your condfidence by 200%.

17 Tips & Techniques to Lose Stubborn Fat Fast

1. Workout at least 3 times a week – resistance training & intervals are best  for Fat Loss.  Perform both the Resistance Training & Interval Training on the same day 3 times a week, adding in 30 minutes of moderate activity on the days in between such as salsa, sports, walking etc. 

If you need a workout to follow and haven’t already got your FREE ‘Get Rid of Belly Fat’ Workouts yet then click the image below to get your workouts  instantly.

2. Resistance Training is the most important aspect to any woman’s fat loss program – and all of you should lift heavier weights that actually challenge your muscles and will sculpt the fit toned body you’re after.

3. Intervals are much better than long steady state cardio and will boost your metabolism, burn more overall calories and protect your precious lean muscle.

4. Reduce your workout time & increase intensity. I’ve found shorter more intense workouts such as circuit-style training and supersets  combining resistance training & bodyweight cardio exercises for around 30 minutes is more effective at burning fat  fast. 

5. Variety is essential. If you continue to repeat the same exercise sequences at the same intensity and for the same duration, you are missing out on one of the key principles of training which is to overload your body. By using a variety of strength/ cardio techniques you’ll continually keep your body challenged and steer clear of a plateau.

6. Realise that Each pound of fat equals 3500 calories. To Lose 1lb of Fat you must create a shortage of 3500 calories. (500 calories less a day = 1 pound of fat a week)

7. You should estimate your calorie needs (using the equation below) but don’t be obsessed with calories – instead use it as a guide.

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

This is just an example for a 120 pound woman.

The first step is to calculate your daily energy (calorie) expenditure.    
  
 Multiply your bodyweight (in pounds) by 11:  eg. 120 x 11 = 1320 calories.

Next, choose the correct exercise level and multiply the calories determined above by the percentage associated with your exercise level. 

20% for no exercise

25% for light exercise every day

30% for moderate exercise every day

35% for very intense exercise 3 or 4 days a week

In this example, we’ll use 30%.

Therefore, the physical activyt energy expenditure would be: 1320 x 0.30 = 396 calories.

Add this number  to the original number to get totoal energy expenditure: 1320 + 396 = 1716 calories.

You would need to eat 1716 calories per day to maintain bodyweight.

To start losing fat, adjust total energy expenditure by 0.9 to get a 10% calorie deficit. = 1716 x 0.9 =     1544 calories per day to loss fat.

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

8. Eat 6 small meals each day rather than 2-3 large meals. To do this you would need a well planned schedule including breakfast, a small morning snack, lunch, a small afternoon snack, a sensible dinner, and a small evening snack. Smaller more frequent meals help you control your blood sugar levels allowing you to avoid cavings and hunger pangs.

9.  A Lower  Carbohydrate diet is best for fat loss - focus on increasing your intake of the better types of carbs (fruits & vegetables) and decrease the amount of ‘bad’ carbs (starches & grains) 

10. Record your Nutrition - women who take the time to record the foods they eat are significantly more successful in losing fat than the women who don’t. A Journal causes you to plan ahead and be honest with yourself as you evaluate your actions. When you write down what you eat, you will be able to control the amount of food you are eating. You can’t control something you know nothing about.

11. Social Support – If you don’t have someone to cheer you on, it’s going to be one hundred times harder than it needs to be.

12. Get Rid of The Scale - most women get disappointed and end up giving up if they weight themselves every day – concentrate on how your clothes fit and inches (circumferences) and only measure those on a monthly basis.

13. Plan, Shop, Prepare - pick a day (I like Sunday’s) and plan your week out (workouts/meals/goals etc), grocery shop and only buy things on your list, and prepare your food/workout clothes etc for the week ahead.

14. Cut Calorie Dense drinks - Avoid sugary drinks at all costs, they quickly increase your calorie intake and play havoc with your blood sugar levels. On a fat burning program, it’s never a good idea to drink a large portion of your calories.

15. Be Consistent & Petient - don’t try to change everything at once. Aim for 2-3 imporvements each week eg. replace 1 calorie dense drink with 1 glass of water or green tea every day and add1 piece of fruit or vegetable to your daily meal plan.

16. Remove all sugar from your diet.

17. Enjoy!! If you don’t enjoy something -it’ll be very difficult to stick with it!! Find an activity that you can enjoy but still keep you active eg, salsa, rock climbing, volleyball etc.

Ok here we go – it’s the 4^th week of your slimmer abs and thighs transformation and we need to set your fat loss goals.

Last week you should have measured your body weight, body fat and circumferences for your chest/hips/waist/upper arm/thighs and calves. Now this week you need to set your goals in line with the measurements you got last week.

This simple procedure must be completed before you begin your transformation.

If you ignore this step – like most women do – you are destined to fail no matter what you do or how hard you try. Setting your Fat Loss Goals is crucial, whole books have been written about goal setting – that’s how important it is.

The truth is though, that most people never actually decide what they really want. This is the main reason for failure in most cases, the lack of clear written goals.

How can you possibly hit a target you can’t even see?

If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re probably not going to end up anywhere!

Goals give you direction by helping you define WHAT you want, WHY you want it and HOW to make it happen.

5 Tips for setting your Fat Loss Goals

1.      Make sure you set specific fat loss goals

Most women set really vague goals for their fat loss, something like, ‘I want to lose a few pounds’ or ‘I want to lose fat from my thighs’ or ‘I want to lose belly fat’.

That’s a good start, but it’s too general, narrow it down, be specific, right down to the digit.

• Exactly how many pounds?
• How many inches?
• Where from?
  •  
    • How many inches off your chest?
    • How many inches off your waist?
    • How many inches off your hips?
    • How many off your thighs?
    •  and so on and on
• How much do you want to weigh?
• What dress size do you want to be?
• Who would you like to look like?
• When do you want to complete your fat loss goal?

2.     Your Fat Loss Goals must be measureable

The Fat Loss goals you set must be able to be measured – otherwise you’ll never know whether you’ve actually reached your goals or not.

3.     Set Big Exciting Fat Loss Goals

Most women are scared of setting goals and only ask for what they think they can get, that’s not FUN! Come on ladies – Your Going to Set Goals that YOU REALLY WANT! Small goals are not motivating – big exciting goals that you Really Really want to achieve are motivating.

Please don’t be afraid to think big and set your sight high because you’ll only hit what you aim at.

Decide NOW what you truly want to look like if you could have any body you wanted.

4.     Your Fat Loss Goals Must Have Realistic Deadlines

‘There are no unrealistic goals, just unrealistic deadlines’.

  

Make an entire list of goals, not just one. Set long term and short term goals, break your big goal into smaller chunks making it easier to achieve. 

Write goals for everything – fitness, nutrition, relationships, career everything.

• Your ultimate long-term goal
  •  
    • Too Have a Body Like  Jessica Alba ->

• 12 month goal
  •  
    •  Lose 22 pounds of body fat, 2 inches from my chest, 2 inches from my waist, 1 inch off both thighs, dress size 12 in 12 week 2 days 31 minutes and 2 seconds.

• Three month goals
  •  
    •  It’s possible to do the above goal in 3 months if you’re really good!!!!

•  Weekly goals
  •  
    • Workout 3 times a week for 40 minutes, only have 3 cheat meals, eat breakfast every day and so on.

•  Daily goals (habits to develop, things to do every day repeatedly)
  •  
    •  
      • Consume 5 – 6 small meals a day of similar caloric value (3 main meals & 2-3 Snacks)
      • Consume lean protein, fibrous carbohydrates and healthy fats with every meal.
      • Eat 5-10 different coloured fruit & vegetables.
      • Drink ½ of your body weight in clean water

• The goal to always beat your personal best!

When looking to lose body fat – you would want to aim for 1-2 pounds a week (0.5% Body Fat) so calculate your goals using this time period.

You can lose more than 1-2 pounds a week but when setting your goals keep thse type of figures in mind.

5.     Establish the emotional reason behind your goals and use it!!

We all have days when we can’t be bothered or try finding excuses not to exercise or skip a meal.

If you have a strong enough WHY you can bear almost any HOW.

So set your goals right now and post them below

The most powerful fat burner

I just had a great weekend – it was my Dad’s 50th and I went home to visit him and the rest of the family. Unfortunately for my dad he didn’t realise after all the celebrations I wanted him to help me with my Biomechanics Coursework for My Masters – ha ha, but don’t worry it wasn’t that bad, his birthday was actually in the week so he didn’t mind helping out. You see we all need help sometimes.

That’s why today I want to help and show you the New Way of Fat Loss.

You see there’s an old way of doing almost everything, for example, listening to cassette tapes on your walkman, using pay phones rather then carrying a phone in your pocket and doing long slow boring cardio – oops no most women still do that.

There are also old ways to exercise, which may prevent you from getting the body you want. Here’s some new ways to spice up your workouts and burn more fat faster.

Old Way – 30 Minutes of Cardio v New Way – Intervals

While exercising at a low intensity does use more calories from fat, it doesn’t burn a lot of total calories. That’s why Cardio is actually a waste of time – all it does is burn calories while you work out but nothing more after you finish the session. On top of this Long Slow (Fat Burning Zone) Cardio has been linked with the release of the catabolic hormone cortisol, which is antagonistic to the development of lean muscle mass. What this means is that cardio actually has a negative effect on your metabolism while Intervals actually Boost Your Metabolism, Burn More Calories up to 36 Hours after you finish your workout and actually takes less time.

Old Way – Crunch after Crunch after Crunch v New Way – Full Body Fat Loss Circuits

Crunches will NOT Burn Your Stomach Fat..

The Only way to Burn Stomach Fat is to work you full body using all available muscles to boost your metabolism, burn more calories and lose fat in less time. If you’ve been doing hundreds of crunches consistently for the past few months or even years and you still haven’t lost your belly fat then why do you think doing even more crunches will get you a different result. Trust me crunches aren’t going to get you that flat stomach.

Old Way – Lifting Light Weights with High Repetitions v New Way – Heavier Weights with Low Repetitions.

For years you have been told to do a high number of repetitions with low weights to burn fat and muscles toning, but still you aren’t getting the results you deserve. You see heavier weights and lower repetitions will actually challenge you more and make your body burn more calories and are far better at boosting your metabolism and increasing the tone and definition of your muscles.

Old Way – Working Out at The Gym v New Way – Fat Loss Workouts at Home

Let’s face it; convenience is key and working out at home is very effective for fitting in regular fat burning workouts. Especially when you think of the time you spend packing your gym bag, driving to the gym, parking, checking in, going to the locker room, waiting for equipment and being friendly to staff and members, you could potentially be looking at 2 hours out of your day! Imagine doing this a few times a week. Now compare this to the fat burning workouts you can do at home with little or no equipment. On top of this why would you want to pay a gym membership to waste time when you could make a small investment in some basic equipment to get your workouts done from the comfort of your own home?

So if you are looking to Burn Your Stubborn Fat, Lose Belly Fat & Get The Body You deserve then you must start using Intervals & Full Body Fat Loss Circuits which you can do at home in less than half the time of your regular workouts.
