Have you ever wondered how fitness models look so good in magazines? Well, it’s not all smoke, mirrors, and Adobe Photoshop editing.
Believe it or not, some photographers will outright reject a fitness model if she appears out of shape in a photoshoot. It’s too hard to sell pictures of flabby fitness models.
So how do models reaffirm themselves before a shoot? There are many ways to do this, but the easiest way is to give yourself two weeks to lose five pounds.
It may not seem like a lot of weight to lose, but looking good isn’t so much about losing weight as it is about redistributing it.
In reality, losing five pounds of fat could mean the difference between a 32-inch waist and a 28-inch waist. With these five steps, you’ll drop that body movement in no time.
Step 1: double your aerobic exercises
Instead of exercising for 30 minutes on the treadmill, increase to 60 minutes. No need to walk, stomp or jog faster, just longer. Extending your workouts beyond 30 minutes gives your body more time to burn fat, rather than just burning carbohydrates for energy.
Bonus tip, don’t eat more because you exercise more. Lean bodies are nutritionally efficient bodies.
Step 2: Go to bed at the same time every night before 11 p.m. M.
When bodybuilders train for a show, you can bet on one thing for sure: they’re sleeping at 11pm. M. Every night. Going to bed constantly at 11 a.m. gives fat the one-two knockout.
Early sleep reduces the amount of cortisol levels in the blood. Higher-than-normal cortisol levels promote fat storage. As an added boost, when you regulate your sleep, your melatonin levels kick in like clockwork every night to not only improve your sleep, but to burn fat better.
Step 3: wake up 30 minutes early
Okay, you have to get double the exercise time from somewhere, so it comes from your sleep time. Getting up earlier also helps you sleep better. With the added fatigue of working out and going to bed at a regular time, your sleep hours will be more relaxed and you probably won’t even notice those 30 minutes you skipped.
Step 4: eat your last meal before 6:30 pm
If you know a successful fitness model, one thing you are sure to find is that they have their eating habits reduced to science. Closing the kitchen at 6:30 has several benefits for losing weight.
First, by not eating for a full twelve hours each day, you give your stomach time to empty and allow your body to use excess fat for energy. Second, if your last meal is at 6:30 p.m. M. And he goes to bed at 11 p.m. M., Your body will not be as busy digesting food throughout the night, which will make your rest even more peaceful.
Step 5: eat more often, 6 to 8 times a day
Manipulating your metabolism is the cornerstone of weight loss. Manipulate your meals and manipulate your metabolism.
If you normally eat 3-5 meals a day, divide them into 6-8 mini meals. Remember, don’t add more food, just divide the meals in two. Regularly feeding your body keeps the body’s energy level at its optimal level.
Plus, you’ll have the energy you need to get through a long cardio session.
There you have it, five steps to lose weight. And yes, it works like clockwork. Take two weeks and watch the last bit of sagging slip away. I dare you.
