How To Lose Stubborn Belly Fat By Training Your Hormones
Do you feel stuck with your workout and are wondering why you are not losing any more body fat and weight? Especially, if you just had a kid or you are going through menopause you may find it challenging to lose the stubborn fat. Women's bodies go through so many hormonal changes and if you know how to work with your body you can see some changes in body fat composition and weight. There is so much information out there that seems to give women the wrong information on how they really should train, particularly when there is a hormonal shift.
The latest research shows that women can train their bodies in a way that their hormones will respond in helping lose that stubborn belly fat. Training your body using the right type of workout will train your hormones.(which include insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon and much more) Especially, cortisol which is a hormone that is produced when you are stressed. Women feel stressed with the daily activities of having a family or maturing.
Let's look at some of the mistakes women make with their training that are ineffective for ultimate fat loss. The old way of thinking is doing a set of bicep curls then rest for a minute and do another. This is very ineffective training when your goal is to take control of your body and develop a sculpted physique and shed that stubborn body fat. Super slow training will not produce nearly the after burn affect that of a metabolic workout, because of it's very slow pace. This doesn't do anything to train your hormones because it simply doesn't elicit a big enough shift in your body, (such as growth hormone-that builds lean muscle) to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. Another ineffective way is walking on the treadmill or just leisurely walking. Cortisol is produced when women do too much cardio, which does not produce the fat burning results you are after. Doing cardio is on of the biggest myths that women still think is better than weight training when it comes to losing the belly fat. Especially if you are on a low calorie diet which will compound the problem, shutting your metabolism down and producing more hormonal fluctuations that take you away from a lean body
So what can you do to effectively train your hormones for fat loss?
It's called Metabolic Training. Various methods of training combined creates this type of hormonal shift to lose body fat. Here is a partial metabolic workout:
Flat dumbbell press (8-12 reps) make sure the weight is challenging. Rows with pulley bands (alternate feet and do 10 fast reps on each side) Treadmill sprints (30-60 sec intervals) Repeat 3-4 times- no rest is taken in between the sets
This is only part of the workout and believe me once you train like this you won't want to go back to your old routine. These workouts, in conjunction with the right fat loss program, gives you 2x your fat burning results than an ordinary program would. Too many women become frustrated losing the extra body fat after having kids or when they have reached menopause. The secret is having the right information, in the right order, and applying to achieve your fat loss goals.
