Hey there,
Feeling and looking fantastic really shouldn’t be stressing you out right now but it clearly is and it’s so frustrating, isn’t it?
If you are wondering how I know this, it’s because I am in my forties myself and I’ve also experienced some of these things too. I understand and appreciate the challenges that other women in our age group face and I’ve also trained hundreds of women in their forties who have had the same issues.
Counting calories is actually a recipe for disaster, it’s just not as simple as calories in versus calories out. In fact, women on a ridicoulsly low calorie diet should, in theory, disappear into thin air with the low calorie diets they are consuming.
The great cardio myth
Did you know that your body adapts very quickly to steady state cardio, which mean you burn fewer calories each time you workout?
Did you know that too much long, slow cardio can actually make you lose lean muscle mass, which in turn slows down your metabolism?
Did you know that long, slow cardio workouts have little or no impact on your resting metabolism?
So what should you be doing for effective fat loss?
Short duration high-intensity activity burns fat and boosts your metabolism, making your body more efficient at processing food and burning calories and these can be done in your own home with no equipment other than your own bodyweight to get you the results you desire.
This type of training requires the body to use fat for energy and will mean that your body will continue to burn fat for up to 48 hours after you have finished
