in Fitness and Exercise
Hey. I'm new to this app as well as new to focusing on a fitness routine. I'm a teacher/mom and constantly on the go but never been big on regular exercising. I now have a gym pass and have been going 5 times a week (Mexico trip is a good incentive hey?). I'm by no means overweight but would like to tone up and focus on midsection as my tummy never has been the same after having two kiddos. Any suggestions on an exercise routines be to focus this area? (As well as arms, legs and butt!)

    Yoga is more challenging than I thought it would be. Pilates, too. They both toned me up. But it was simply losing the excess weight that made the most difference. If you have access to the group classes, check to see if they have BodyPump. Nice weight work routine with focus on abdominals at the end.

    If you want to lose fat there. You have to eat less food. Exercising doesn’t remove fat. Otherwise why wouldn’t every obese person have slender cheeks from talking or moving their mouths everyday?

    Exercise is great, but to lose fat it’s about how much you eat.

    Eat in a mild caloric deficit and get on a workout program. Not just some mishmash thing that was thrown together. Quality counts when it comes to exercising and progression

    Follow an established full body strength training program that hits each muscle group 2-3x a week and eat at a slight caloric deficit

    When I combined pilates, cardio, strength and yoga is when I got in the best shape of my life, working to get back there. A balance of all these helps.
