Over the years, clients have pointed to every single body part and said, “I want to lose fat right here.”
Here are a few of the most common areas: the stomach, the hips/butt, and the “jiggle under the arm”.
Here’s the deal: You can’t actually target fat loss in a specific body part. I know you’ll see all sorts of ads for products that say you can “burn off belly fat” or “tone your legs,” but these are empty promises. No magic pill, lotion, wrap, or diet can target fat loss in one area.
The truth is that you must use fitness to reduce overall body fat. Your body will decide where the fat is lost, but if you lose fat in general, you’ll improve problem areas, too.
You can double down on that process by building a bit of muscle. We aren’t talking bulky, bulging bodybuilder muscle. We are talking about very small increases. You won’t ever suddenly become “bulky” – but that’s a myth for another time.
Our Fat-Loss Program
So how do you use fitness to reduce body fat and build muscle?
There are lots of ways to do it. We’ll tell you how we do it, and we grantee it works! (Don’t take our word for it. Feel free to ask any one of our members!)
We use a combination of cardiovascular training and strength training to burn calories and build muscle. So that means we don’t just run for 30 minutes or just lift weights for 3 sets of 8. Our coaches execute programs that are perfectly designed to help clients accomplish goals.
Sometimes, a single workout might have two parts: one “cardio” element and one strength element. Other times, we might blend cardio and strength training together. That might look something like this: Do 5 barbell back squats at a certain weight and then row 200 meters – repeat 5 times. Sometimes we do focus on either strength or conditioning in a single session. But overall, we focus on both and keep it constantly varied.
The end result? You get stronger and build a little muscle, and you burn calories and body fat. Do this regularly, and you’re going to begin to see some muscle definition. No, your abs won’t instantly pop out. That’s a long-term goal. But you will notice that clothes start to fit better, and you’ll be able to see some visible changes. You’ll also be able to see clear progress in your workout log.
Another secret: You can accelerate your progress by improving your diet, which we can help you with that, too!
