Shredding Fat

This question seems to arise all the time, how do I lose weight from a certain area? (Stomach, Arms or Legs.)

The answer is you can't, your body decides this not the exercises you decide to do. Doing abs will not get rid of fat from your stomach, bicep curls from your arms or squats from your legs. Don't get me wrong it can build muscle in these places but it will still be covered with the fat that was there before if you continue a bad diet.

When you decide to eat well and exercise, calories will be burnt and in turn getting rid of fat % but you body will decide where this is going to be burnt from. Unfortunately for me and everyone else the body tends to keep the fat storage just above your hips and around your last set of abs.

So you need to stick with the healthy eating and the regular exercise and wait until your body decides to take the fat away from the part of the body you wish for.

Don't let this get you down because with a consistent healthy lifestyle you are going to be able to get rid of this fat.

Take That Step Into The Gym

Ok, so people always want to get into the gym but always have some excuse. Most of the excuses i hear are usually to do with not knowing the equipment very well, don't want to be judged, girls, and guys for that matter, don't want to get too muscular and the excuses go on forever.

Listen we all had to start somewhere and when i was 15 walking into that gym, lifting 5lb dumbbells let me tell you i had no clue what i was doing. Dumbbell curl and chest press were about the only thing i knew until i started watching people, reading blogs and just getting to know the equipment. 8 years on ill still pick up a dumbbell and try a random exercise i seen on Instagram or Twitter, see if it works for me and how i feel and then i might add into my routine.

What i'm trying to say is take that step, you'll never regret it. I promise now, you won't be judged, you won't get too big (Bodybuilders eat over 7,000 calories a day for years to get where they got) but i will tell you what you will get, great self-esteem, superb confidence and a great body to go with it (If you work hard).

Make that decision, be the best person you can.
