How to Lose Fat and Tone in One Body Part

There is no magic bullet that you can use to tone up a specific body part and make fat disappear from there. Life will be so much easy if one exercise can actually do the magic in getting the result you want - but unfortunately that does not work. You can’t just take the fat and burn it right where it sits; because your body must first convert the fat into a form of fuel that your body can actually burn for energy. FAT is stored all over your body- in some body parts its more than other. Its different for men and women because of hormonal differences.

Lets look at how the FAT loss work at high level:  When your body needs energy, it doesn't get it from a single specific body part. Instead it will take fat from everywhere and convert it into free fatty acids which enter your blood stream and become fuel for muscles. That is why it takes more strategic planning if you want to tone a particular body part


So what is an effective strategy to lose Fat and tone in one body part?

Basics:
Find out which part has more fat and focus on that area.

Minimal Rest between workout sets - Light weight and more repetition

Repeat this routine 4-5 times a week

Keep athletic/balanced stand while doing exercise -- achieve your goal without getting hurt.

Steps #1:- Burn phase
 -Do 20-25 minutes high intensity/short/Interval based cardio to burn the calories then do toning so that fat gets used for energy.
- I use Tabata songs for my high intensity internal training (HIT).
- I prefer to do the exercise in the morning because your body is already in fasting mode and its relatively will burn more Fat.

Step#2- Tone a specific part
Perform exercises that specifically stress the muscles of the body part that you are trying to spot reduce. (see list of exercise example for toning arm below)

Steps#3 Diet
Reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories daily for seven days will result in 1 pound of fat tissue loss per week, according to the University of Illinois. You’ll need to maintain current levels of physical activity, or even increase physical activity, to start burning through fat reserves.

- Fuel moderately. Eat more veggies and high quality FAT (e.g Coconut oil, grass fed butter)from morning to late evening.
- In the evening you can have your normal meal  but make sure you finish you dinner before 8 pm. The idea is that your food must be digested before you go to sleep.
