Have Trouble Areas?
Most of us have areas of our body that we are not comfortable with. Some of us would like to tighten and tone our midsections and others our buns and thighs. I have a lot of people ask me “Can I spot reduce?” The truth is there is no such thing as spot reduction exercise. In order to work on our problem areas we need a fitness routine that targets our entire body, and a healthy diet. This is the only way to shape and sculpt your entire body. The biggest key to getting the results you desire and the body you want is to be consistent. There are no quick fixes, magic pills or spot reduction machines; ultimately it is up to you to put in the work and time to achieve your ideal body. If you want to work on your problem areas, be healthier, get into better shape then you have to “pay the rent.” This is an axiom used by author Rory Vaden in his book Take the Stairs, which in summary says that having a healthy fit body is never owned it’s rented, and you have to pay the rent every day.
Be leery of infomercials, websites, and products that make spot reduction claims. The health, fitness, and weight loss market misinforms the public every day. Often, false claims and testimonials are made that proclaim the benefits of their products and they do not deliver. We have all been there sucked in by the late night infomercial that is so good and convincing. Don’t waste your money. Not that all of the products are bad or don’t deliver, but most are just hype.
The two keys to obtaining the body of your dreams and the results you desire are proper nutrition, and metabolic resistance training. These are the two proven elements I have seen over and over that deliver the results most of us want.
- Proper Nutrition
Having a quality diet is a must in order to get the results you desire. No amount of exercise can counter balance poor nutritional habits. 70-80% of your results will come from your diet. That’s how important it is. Keep it simple, cut out all processed food, and unnecessary sugars. Stick with lean meats, fresh veggies, fruit, nuts, and beans. Give yourself one cheat day a week in moderation. Make smart nutritional choices every day, and overtime results will follow. So lay off the sweets, and limit your alcohol consumption to one drink a week.
- Metabolic Resistance Training
This style of weight training targets fat loss. Metabolic resistance training is basically working out in a circuit fashion or multi-set training style where you move from one exercise to the next with minimal rest and are normally full body workouts. The goal is to keep your heart rate elevated and burn the optimal amount of calories. Workouts should last no longer then 45 minutes and can even be as short as 15 minutes.

Although infomercials are exciting and entertaining to watch, nothing beats proper nutrition and metabolic resistance training for outstanding results. Proper nutrition is the best way to reduce stubborn fat around the belly and thighs, crunch machines or sit-up chairs may look like the answer on a late a sleepless night of T.V. watching, but in the light of day a full body workout that elevates your heart rate and increases your lean muscle mass is the best way to work out in order to lose inches and weight. Start paying the rent today! Remember the body of your dreams is never owned, it’s rented and the rent is due every day.
