That annoying fat you continue to fight with is often caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalance, poor sleep, stress, and processed foods. Women especially tend to carry fat around the stomach due to fluctuating estrogen levels; more specifically affecting women between the ages of 30 to 40 as they are beginning to experience premenopausal symptoms.
Crunches alone won’t fix this. As your body needs a full system reset, rather than the same routine training with the expectation of changed results. Often, this layer of extra fat is caused by chronic inflammation caused by various factors, such as diet, medications, stress, and undiagnosed digestive issues.
Exercising regularly can have a great amount of health benefits, such as providing boosts of metabolism, boosting mental health, and strengthening your heart and bones. Working out can also help regulate hormones, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases and inflammation. Most importantly, improving fitness levels it builds confidence.
You don’t need to train like a marathon runner or an Olympic powerlifter to see steady and empowering progress. Another key factor to progressing in fitness is having a fun and healthy environment and that’s where we separate ourselves at KellyFit.
Another key to losing that layer of extra fat anywhere in your body is stress management. This is such an important factor on this journey, as the more stressed and anxious you are, the more cortisol, and other harmful endorphins that will flood your system.
Cortisol has a direct correlation with chronic inflammation and lipid retention. A simple walk or relaxing activity can do wonders for your adrenal glands and parasympathetic nervous system, allowing for your glands and body to drain hormones like cortisol. This allows for your body to shed fat and burn calories through better sleep and relaxation.
It is not always easy to start in the gym; perhaps you’re too busy, or feel self-conscious about what other people might think, which is normal.
Start easy, with 3 short workouts a week. Mix introductory strength training with mild cardiovascular exercises, and add movement throughout the day such as a walk, stretch or whatever gets you moving.
You don’t need a gym to start, just your body and commitment. Download a fitness tracker and journal your workouts to stay motivated; include tracking nutritional intake and meals and you will be more than on your way.
Your body thrives on routine. This stats with our circadian rhythm; we like to go to sleep and wake up at the same time. When you schedule workouts and meals, you remove the guesswork and unnecessary opportunity for a quick solution, which tends to be fast food and skipping workouts, the easiest solution.
Set reminders, stay on top of the little things; as this will relieve you of last second tasks and scrambling around for things like meals and hydration. Doing this will allow you to have a substantial amount of additional free time during your day, empowering you to be more committed to your wellness.
Block off 30 to 45 minutes daily for yourself. Structure builds discipline, and discipline builds results. We are all human, and we need time to ourselves to unwind, whether that’s reading a book, going for a walk, or having a hobby that you are interested in. The less stress and anxiety in your day, the smaller number of harmful hormones, like cortisol, will exist and stay in your system.
Fat-burning comes from compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups:
● Burpees
● Mountain climbers
● High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
● Planks with knee taps
● Russian twists
● Weighted squats and lunges
Try 2 circuits, 3 times a week, and watch your waistline transform.
All carbs are not the enemy, but the wrong ones are. Ditch processed bread, sugary cereals, and soda. Replace them with pure sourdough bread, fruits and sweet potatoes. Pair healthy carbs with lean protein and healthy fats to avoid spikes in blood sugar and cravings. This will help keep a steady appetite, and those sugar cravings will dwindle away over time.
Meal prepping saves time, money, and stress. Cook in batches:
● Pick 2 proteins (e.g., chicken, tofu)
● 2 veggies (e.g., broccoli, peppers)
● 2 carbs (e.g., brown rice, sweet potatoes)
● Prep snacks like Greek yogurt, almonds, and boiled eggs
Label containers by day. Sunday and Wednesday are great days to reset and cook. You will then always prepared, and not tempted.
