With the right strategies in place, you can guarantee a super charged metabolism that helps you burn fat throughout the month of July- no matter what special event you take part in. Achieving your flat tummy goal is absolutely attainable!
Freedom from Fat: Five Fat Burning Tips for an Effective Summer Fitness Plan
1. Remember WHY
If the goal is to feel good and confident in your summer outfits why abandon all of your healthy habits only to end up feeling like you need to be a “slave” to your workouts in order to make up for all the weight you gained. No amount of eating or drinking is worth the effort it will take to remove those excess pounds.
2. Prevention is KeyIn the long run, prevention is always better than the cure.
If you already know ahead of time that you will be practicing in some overindulgence. Vamp up your exercise habits and fine tune what you are eating NOW. The best part about this type of routine is that you have a deadline. This will help keep you motivated to stick to your fitness goals.
3. Meal Management
WARNING: The last thing you want to do prior to, during or after a 4th of July event is to not eat. If you choose to skip your meals, two wonderful things happen to your body.
First, your metabolism slows down.
Next since you brain thinks that you are starving it will tell your body to store any food that it does receive in the form of fat.
Skipping Meals = Weight Gain!
Plan Your SplurgesIf you know you will be enjoying a bountiful feast at a 4th of July cookout, avoid overindulging during breakfast and/or lunch. Instead make your other meals that day light and more supportive.
Cookout Saboteurs:
These choices add very quickly to your calorie count. Decide ahead of time what you plan to indulge in and make more supportive choices until that meal.
5. Forget the Gym
Yes, to avoid unwanted weight and achieve a toned, flat stomach– you have to exercise - but your summer fat loss workout plan is not a tedious as you think. No hours of long, boring cardio, no fancy gym equipment necessary - some of the most effective fat blasting workouts can be done right at home - with your Own Body Weight.
Even better news when you switch to a more effective way of working out….your workouts take no more than 10 to 15 minutes!!!
Using short burst resistance training and intervals to super charge your metabolism so your body burns more fat and calories all day long! Resistance Training is KEY for it is the only form of exercise that will reshape your body with fat blasting lean muscle - Muscle Burns Fat!
Choose movements that use as many muscles as possible such as:Squats, Lunges, Push Ups, Pulls Ups, Planks, Wood Chops
Intervals keep your cardio short and sweet by vamping up the intensity. By alternating between short periods of high and low intensity, you will leave your metabolism super charged, but more importantly does not put you at risk for burning your lean muscle - the powerhouse behind your ability to lose more fat.
