  1. How to get a summer worthy mid-section

    You probably know that crunches and sit-ups alone won’t give you a flat, sculpted midsection. Only a drop in overall body fat will uncover your stomach muscles.

    It is fully possible for you to do this with an effective combination of fat burning cardio, resistance training and clean eating. My clients routinely drop fat and transform their bodies. You can do it too.

    Here’s how to get your midsection ready for summer vacation…

    1) Exercise a minimum of 4 times per week.

    It is important to dedicate yourself to working out a minimum of 4 times a week if you want to transform your midsection. Anything less than this won’t make a large enough impact on your progress.

    2) Make sure your workouts are effective. 

    What makes a workout effective? It includes intense cardiovascular training coupled with effective resistance training. Walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes isn’t a fat-blasting routine. Neither is a leisurely 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. The truth is that you can dramatically increase your results while investing less time when your workouts are effective.  Our 30-minute functional fitness program is just the right mix of cardio exercise and resistance training to get impressive results for our over-50 clients in just 3 days per week.

    Cardio exercise is all about maintaining an effective level of intensity. This doesn’t mean that you should be out of breath or gasping for air, but it does mean that you need to push yourself.

    Resistance training is the second key part of a fat-burning workout. This means working your major muscle groups against resistance in a way that stimulates your metabolism. Again, the key here is to find the right intensity and to keep each muscle group guessing.

    3) Eat a clean diet.

    Diet is a big stumbling block for most people. If your diet is out of control then your waistline will be too. You can’t trim your waist without trimming the junk out of your diet, regardless of how intensely you exercise.

    Keep calories in check. Do you know how many calories you eat? The best way to find out is to record everything you eat for a few days. Tally the number of calories that you eat each day and do an evaluation—feel free to recruit me to help out with this part. Together we’ll chart improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum results.

    Just say “no” to junk food. While this may seem obvious, your definition of “junk food” may need an alteration. Refined sugar is one of the biggest culprits in the junk food world—it is found in soft drinks, blended coffee drinks, cookies, cakes, packaged snacks, and other sinfully sweet treats. Processed fat is another monster. As a rule of thumb you can safely view all processed or refined items as junk food.

    Eat more frequently. The key here is to never let your metabolism “crash” by going hours without eating. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to skip breakfast—as this is the meal that ‘breaks the fast’ that your body goes into each night. Stick with eating small meals every few hours and always avoid stuffing yourself.

    Do you want to flatten and sculpt your midsection once and for all? Simply decide that you really want it. Commit to yourself—you deserve it.

    See me for fat-blasting workouts, safe and effective for the over 50 crowd, that deliver results. Together we will get you on a program that will melt the fat off your midsection, exposing shape and definition.
