#65 - How do I lose body fat & get that ...

KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

But Kitty I don't want to look muscular I just want to tone up.

I've had quite a lot of women message me in the last few weeks saying they don't want to lift weights and become to muscular they just want to lose weight and tone up so wouldn't it be better to do pilates, yoga, classes, bootcamps and run??

I went into a store at ferry road a few months ago and the lady said to me "oh you have such a wonderful figure what do you do? running and yoga?"

I get it I used to think the same thing. I spent so many years doing HIIT, bootcamps, running for miles, classes and circuit type workouts trying to lose weight and 'tone up'.

So I thought I'd sit down with @iamcraigmcdonald and discuss exactly what you need to do to lose body fat and 'tone up' in a healthy and sustainable way, what we cover:

👉What does toned actually mean?

👉The difference between weight loss, fat loss and body recomposition

👉How do you build muscle

👉The number one reason most women are not making progress in the gym (getting stronger & building muscle)

👉Why weight isn't always a great indicator of progress

👉How do you know if you're ready for a fat loss phase?

👉What biofeedback and health markers should you be looking at before starting a fat loss phase?

👉Why is reverse dieting important after a fat loss phase?

👉What if I've just had a baby and I'm breast feeding should I do a fat loss phase?

👉What about cardio?
