Most Of Your Progress Will Come From Shifting To
More Favorable Nutritional Habits
& THEN Maintaining These Habits Consistently
Over Time.
..but, you’re here for the IMMEDIATE results Right?
Great, because intentional physical activity ACCELERATES the fat stripping process.
But not just any old physical activity, namely,
RESISTANCE TRAINING.
A few weight training sessions a week is all you need! And are Provided under the Program tab. If you don’t have a gym membership, join one. Small towns have THE BEST GYMS btw, you just have to use the google machine to find one.
If you don’t have access to gym equipment, get some bands and start collecting dumbbells and a bench, or do like I did when the gyms closed for covid and build your own with buckets, concrete, lumber, pulleys and rope.
Until you get access to gym equipment, you can still go for a walk, do some body weight interval training. You will get some benefit from a quick calorie burning walk and the refreshing air, it just drags the fat loss process out even longer.
Just MOVE your body DAILY!
A QUICK NOTE ON: Cardio...
DO ANY OF THESE RESULTS SOUND FAMILIAR?
In previous fat loss attempts with a CARDIO based program have you experienced:
Complete weight loss stalls,
Sometimes fat gain
Left looking skinny fat,
Never seeing the muscle tone, or belly fat NEVER leaves
Discouraged, Beatdown, FRUSTRATED, hating cardio
The MORE you do it seems the SLOWER the results come
...ready to quit..
THE STRESS SIGNAL
Performing cardio as your main form of exercise elicits a little signal of “stress,” a sense of danger. And our body’s response is to immediately dump the metabolically active tissues that are more wasteful with those calories and threatening to the survival of the human race, i.e. muscle tissue.
It’s no surprise that US ladies get the short end of the fat LOSS stick.
When we abound a cardio dominant program, our hormonal composition is programmed to respond in a way that promotes the retention of body fat.
Because, without us there is no more human race.
Our bodies don’t understand we are intentionally restricting readily abundant food and we aren't escaping the fangs of a sabretooth.
WE KNOW THIS. Yet, women STILL tend to embark on a new diet and an exercise routine centered around CARDIO and they’re left spinning their wheels.
HIIT is CARDIO, btw.
TWO TYPES OF MUSCLE
In an effort to further explain your body’s physiological response to cardio, it helps to understand how and when your muscles are utilizing stored fat/carbs as energy and when they’re using oxygen.
Performing mostly cardio based training is great for burning calories, But ONLY while you’re working out. Here’s why:
You have two types of muscle fiber, Fast twitch and Slow twitch.
Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers:
These are your Weight Training Muscles.
Energy Source: stored body FAT and stored muscle glycogen.
They ARE metabolically active meaning they burn stored glycogen (carbs) and body fat for fuel even long after your training session.
Make you look GOOD naked, providing ALL the little bumps and humps you REALLY want.
The SECRET is in the recovery process. They fatigue fast and tear easy (this is positive, it’s forces adaptation, meaning the addition of fibers in the repair process which = more metabolic activity 24 hrs a day 365 days a year. which means more fat burning for doing ABSOLUTELY nothing more
Weight training forces your body to burn through stored FAT.
Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers:
These are your CARDIO Muscles.
Energy Source: Oxygen ..not stored bodyfat or glycogen
Responsible for helping us push longer and farther. Think regular cardio and light weight HIIT training.
They make you look SKINNY FAT when cardio is your only form of exercise.
They are not metabolically active outside of the actual cardio session itself.
The calorie burn only comes from the elevated heart rate speeding up just the normal bodily processes.
Once you stop doing the work, so does the calorie burn. The beneficial calorie burn is just in the moment.
I’m sure you get the point by now
