Do you want to know the best way to finally lose belly fat and inches, especially if you are a new mom or are going through menopause? You need to know that there are ways you can train your hormones to lose excess fat. Many women that have had children or are going through menopause will complain about the extra belly fat. If this is you, then you need to take a closer look at your workouts.



You can train your hormones so that you can get things moving in the right direction.

The latest research shows that women can train their bodies in a way that their hormones will respond in helping lose that stubborn belly fat. When you learn to train your body the right way, you train your hormones.(which include insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon and much more) Especially, cortisol which is a hormone that is produced when you are stressed. I see this in many women as they feel overwhelmed with the day to day life either being a new mom or aging.

Let's look at some of the mistakes women make with their training that are ineffective for ultimate fat loss. The old way of thinking is doing a set of bicep curls then rest for a minute and do another. This is very ineffective training when your goal is to take control of your body and develop a sculpted physique and shed that stubborn body fat. Another ineffective method of training is what has been called super slow training, pushing and pulling weight at a very slow rate. This doesn't do anything to train your hormones because it simply doesn't elicit a big enough shift in your body, (such as growth hormone-that builds lean muscle) to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. Another ineffective way is walking on the treadmill or just leisurely walking. Cortisol is produced when women do too much cardio, which does not produce the fat burning results you are after. Doing cardio is on of the biggest myths that women still think is better than weight training when it comes to losing the belly fat. Especially if you are on a low calorie diet which will compound the problem, shutting your metabolism down and producing more hormonal fluctuations that take you away from a lean body

So what can you do to effectively train your hormones for fat loss?

It's called Metabolic Training. Various methods of training combined creates this type of hormonal shift to lose body fat. An example segment of this type of workout is the following:

Flat dumbbell press (8-12 reps) make sure the weight is challenging. Rows with pulley bands (alternate feet and do 10 fast reps on each side) Treadmill sprints (30-60 sec intervals) Repeat 3-4 times- no rest is taken in between the sets

This is only part of the workout and believe me once you train like this you won't want to go back to your old routine. These workouts, in conjunction with the right fat loss program, gives you 2x your fat burning results than an ordinary program would. Too many women become frustrated losing the extra body fat after having kids or when they have reached menopause. The secret is having the right information, in the right order, and applying to achieve your fat loss goals.
