TAKING ACTION: ✅I want to hear from everyone today! Share your weekly win below and let’s celebrate one another! 🎉 Happy Friday, friends! Today is a rest & recovery day, but I want to briefly talk about how our strategic workouts help to burn stubborn belly fat. Many studies show that, when done strategically, both HIIT and strength training aid in burning fat in hard-to-lose places. 🔥HIIT - Many studies show that HIIT is significantly more effective for losing fat than low-intensity cardio. One study showed that participants lost more fat doing four to six 30-second sprints (with 4-minute rest intervals in between) than walking at an incline for 60 minutes! I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather do four to six 30-second sprints than walk at an incline for an hour! 😅 🔥Lift Heavy! Strength training is a key strategy for burning fat. When you’re trying to lose fat, lifting heavy weights will help preserve your muscle mass. Muscle tissue is critical to maintain if you want to continue burning fat. Lifting heavy also increases your basal metabolic rate for several days after a workout. In fact, studies show you can burn hundreds more calories over several days (post-heavy lifting) than if you were to use lighter weights. Now you’ve learned that both nutrition and exercise matter when it comes to burning more stubborn belly fat. On Fridays, we celebrate our wins, but as you can see, if you’re following our strategies, you’re already winning. 🎉

TAKING ACTION: ✅What was your favorite belly blast move from yesterday’s workout? Tell me about it below! Speaking of, we’re discussing all things belly fat this week, and as promised, I’ll also be giving you all of the best tips for reducing unwanted belly fat. Before we get too far into it this week, it’s important to understand that there are two types of belly fat—subcutaneous and visceral. 👇 📌Subcutaneous fat: Lies just below the skin. This is the fat you can feel/squeeze/pinch on your belly, like a pooch or love handles. 📌Visceral fat: Accumulates deep inside your body. It sticks to and surrounds your organs, including your heart. Visceral fat is dangerous to your health for reasons we will continue to discuss in the coming days and weeks. Since visceral fat is the most dangerous, let’s briefly talk more about it. The bad news about visceral fat is that genetics often play a role in where you gain fat. More contributing factors are 👉 an imbalanced diet (refined carbs and sugar, alcohol, etc.) 👉 inadequate sleep 👉 a sedentary lifestyle 👉 menopause/aging The good news is that this lifestyle/program/platform gives you the greatest chance of burning both visceral and subcutaneous belly fat. Many studies suggest that a diet made up of mostly whole-food nutrition, strength training, an appropriate amount of high-intensity exercise, healthy sleeping habits, and lowering stress can all help when it comes to burning this deeper fat that surrounds your organs. Knowing this information, it appears we’re all in the right place, doesn’t it? 😉 See HIIT workout in comments or go for a brisk walk today!

“Rest, recover, renew, repeat.” ~Courtney Carver TAKING ACTION: ✅How do you plan to rest, recover, and renew today? Share with us below as we prepare our bodies and minds for a new week! Today, we rest. ✨ I wish I could say it better than the quote above says it, but the truth is—I can’t. That’s the answer. Rest. Recover. Renew. Repeat. This is exactly what consistency looks like, which is what we’ve talked a lot about this week. Even if you don’t have the capacity to challenge yourself past the point of comfort each week, maintaining a foundational routine (rest, recover, renew, and repeat) counts for something—and it helps build the habit of consistency. Take time to rest today. Recover and renew. And starting tomorrow, we repeat. ✨ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We are starting more education on Mindset this coming week, education on thyroid health, Planning & Taking Inventory + a 24-Hour FAST on Thursday!
