Q & A
"Hey Geo,
One place i really want to get rid of is my mid-section and tone up my arms and inner and outer thighs so i can get that beyonce shape (lol i wish) my main concern really is the mid-section because I want to be well proportioned. Is there any I can do specifically to get this done?
This is a very interesting question that I get a lot. Everyone is interested in finding the "secret" way to toning up their abs, arms and thighs. But that's just it... There isn't a secret. The information is out there but many of you most likely will never take action.
In order to drop bodyfat, and lose inches here are some simple guidelines to follow:
-Eat 5-6 small protein based meals.
With every meal you want to make sure you consume some protein. Protein takes more energy to breakdown then carbs or fat thus increasing the amount of calories you burn. Imagine that just eating chicken instead of pasta can help you shave off a few more calories.
-Lift weights, real weights.
We are talking about some real weight lifting here. Not the 2.5 lb dumbbell for 100 reps. You must challenge yourself by lifting a weight that you could only do for 8-15 repetitions. This is the best way to stimulate muscle growth. Muscle burns fat and increases your metabolism. Light weight lifting simply is a waste of time.
-Intense Cardio
Put your magazine, or that exciting book back in your locker and really do some cardio. Too many people are wasting their time when performing cardio. If you can read a magazine while you're doing your cardio, again you're wasting your time. Intense cardio helps burn more fat. The key is how many calories you burn not only during your workout but after your workout is done. So increase the intensity on the bicycle and do some interval training. Interval training is where you alternate between high intensity and low intensity bouts for a desired period of time.
The combination of these three steps will help you create a fat burning machine that will have you much closer to shaking your "uh-oh" in no time.
