    5 Fitness & Fat Loss Rules for Inverness Mums and Dads

    RULE 1:

    You CANNOT Out-Train a Bad Diet

    Whaaat? I know… I know

    a tough one to take

    and wouldn’t life be easier if we could eat and drink what we want no matter how hard we work in gym

    but yeah

    if you want to lose a good amount of body fat/weight

    it won’t work simply but training hard for 45 minutes 2/3/4/5 times a week

     

    Whether that’s here at DM Elite, Inverness or another Gym in Inverness

    that’s great ^ and I think its great to mainly focus on the training side of things when just getting started

    1 habit at a time and all….

    but to get where you want to go

    it will require some work in your own time in terms of what you eat & how much of ‘it’

    you have to create a calorie deficit

    maybe you train to enjoy what you want to enjoy and that’s fair

    but most of us want to look and feel as good as we possibly can

    and we can’t do this but enjoying a well earned few glasses of wine/ben and jerrys et all

    every time we train

    you’ve got to build upon the good work and keep at it day after day

    …for a consistent period of time

    boring (I know) but it works

    RULE 2:

    Biggest Fat Loss WILL Require To Lift Heavier Weights

    Building strength is crucial for burning fat

    (don’t worry ladies, you will NOT get bulky…promise – and that’s where Rule 1 is important ^)

    first though technique must be on point, and we will make sure of that

    and once you have nailed the technique…build upon that and push barriers

    you will only ever tone up/get lean if you push yourself and put time under tension through muscle groups

    so that means – listening to coaches with respect to TEMPO of exercises (slow down/pause/explode up for example)

    and individually choosing to up the resistance you work with

    whether its deadlifts, squats, rows, shoulder pressing, pushing the prowler

    Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself ! 🙂

    RULE 3:

    NOW we have got RULE 2 sorted – let’s look at fully utilising MRT (Metabolic Resistance Training)

    So now our heavy lifting/muscle burning sorted

    lets now look to ramp that up with metabolic training/lung burners

    here we want to go HARD at It when we have these short periods of work on ‘cardio’ stages to workouts

    here we want to do as many full-body movements as possible, as we do

    so when we have that 30/45 seconds of work…yes again be conscious of technique

    BUT go full at it, there’s a reason the time isn’t too long…its designed to really push you

    and hate life  bit for 30/45 seconds periods of time ha ha

    yes you will be tired

    you will feel like dropping intensity

    but again if you fully want to utilise your time and maximise results

    then the metabolic part of your workout must be productive 🙂

    RULE 4:

    Standard ‘Cardio’ aren’t wrong as such…just not priority

    So now we have our food on point

    our muscles are burning

    pushing ourselves from a metabolic standpoint

    NOW it’s time to look at steadier state cardio

     

    This is one part of Results based fitness that’s hugely underrated

    again I wouldn’t say this is priority but still important

    jogging, long walks, cycles are great from an aerobic POV and will burn fuel/calories

    and definitely serve you well as active rest days from more intense stuff

    but they have been proven to be less effective for FAT LOSS

    heart/health benefits still great so still well worth doing

    its just your body will adapt a lot quicker, a lot harder to progress other than time & less kind on joints (running)

    to summarise MRT will hit fat loss goals quicker

    cardio will help burn calories/fuel but it is a lot harder to adapt

    both are well worth including in your schedule (especially a daily high step count)

    but I would prioritize MRT 🙂

    RULE 5 –

    FOCUS ON FULL BODY:

    Maybe if you’re reading this and NOT a member of DM Elite Training, Inverness

    The reason why we do this is because you can’t really lose spots in specific areas with specific exercises

    Gyms everywhere are full of people doing endless crunches to lose belly fat or spending hours on the treeadmill

    and whilst this makes perfect sense, the body doesn’t work like that

    So when working out/eating/living day to day remember that 4 rules above ^

    and that this is all a LIFESTYLE shift and a process

    DO NOT fall for the AB 3000 on channel 3000 on Sky with some oiled up American fitness model guy showing it off

    this will not give you a 6 pack in 28 days, honest

    what will it following the 4 steps above

    & KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE

    now we all know this, like a lot of it you may have known already

    the other half is APPLICATION

    as well as making sure you get adequate sleep, eating veggies, drinking water

    and don’t kill yourself with all of this…it takes times

    it’s important you enjoy life too

    or else you won’t be able to sustain it

    Hope that helps

    Any questions on any of the above

    how it applies to you, any points you’re not totally clear on

    just ask
