| WHICH EXERCISES ARE YOU PERFORMING?
Sure it's fine to say "I am going to tone by
butt and thighs" but if you are using a program that may not be correct for
your body type you can easily and unintentionally increase the size of both
of them!
How to Reduce Your Butt and Thigh Size!
Fat Burning Exercise
Fat burning exercise is a great way to help reduce the size of your thighs
and butt. To start with try walking or using the treadmill. Bikes or cycling
are great too just as long as you keep the resistance to an absolute minimum.
Why!? Because often when first starting an exercise program your muscle growth
is easily stimulated, which means if you include too much resistance in your
fat burning exercise you may promote muscle growth and size.
Toning Exercise
It is important that you perform a full body
workout, rather than just concentrating on your butt and thighs. Perform
an exercise on each body part using light weights and high reps on your lower
half. One of the best ways to ensure you are re-shaping your body with the
correct workout, especially if you are pear shaped, is to look into getting
a program designed for you. It is well worth your while and it will save
you allot of frustration.
Low Fat Eating Program
I know you think low-fat eating is boring but
it's not. Although if you choose to make it boring and choose not to experiment
with low fat foods then I guess it would be. There are so many wonderful
ways to eat the supposed "fast foods" as "low in fat". Over the years I have
gone out of my way to make an effort to find new and exciting ways of cooking
low-fat tasty meals. There are so many options out there if you only
look.
A low fat "simple to follow eating program"
is vital when re-shaping your body and will determine whether or not you
achieve your re-shaping program goals. Your workout/s and eating program
work hand in hand to help stimulate your metabolism to burn body fat and
to help re-shape and tone muscle.
To ensure my Virtual Fitness Trainer: Members
Club Members
(www.virtualfitnesstrainer.com)
have the best opportunity possible to reach their health and fitness goals
I have put together some great low fat menus and recipes along with the low
fat eating programs all for which are designed to suit their training
goals.
Follow these steps:
Don't "over consume" starchy carbohydrates,
sugars and fats, this will bulk you up. Reduce your starchy carbohydrates
towards the end of the day. (Starchy carbohydrates: bread, cereal, rice,
pasta, potato etc) Cut out as many fats from your diet as possible - be realistic
of course - not radical. Don't use fatty sauces, dressings or too much margarine
or butter in your meals. Cut all fat and skin off your meat and "grill" -
do not fry your meat! Eat decent servings of fresh fruit and veggies. Eat
5-6 smaller meals per day. Increase your lean protein intake such as meat,
chicken, seafood, protein shakes, egg whites. Your protein shake must low
in fat, low in carbohydrates and high in protein. And remember before starting
any exercise or eating program you should consult your doctor first.
