Wouldn't it be great if you could get rid of that excess fat on your stomach of firm up those hips and thighs? How many times have you tried diet and exercise to hit those areas only to see little or no change? Your not on your own as many people have been down that same path.

Having worked with many people, two things that i found with almost every client was that they ALL had specific areas of their body that they really wanted to change.

For some it was the back of their arms and for others it was their bottom. And the second thing is nearly all of those people also felt it was impossible to achieve their goals.

Well ive got news for you, you can flatten your stomach, lose love handles, tone thighs and get rid of the bingo wings and all by doing just 15-20 mins of exercise 3 times a week!

People are constantly looking for the quick fix to sort those problem areas, but there is no real quick fix...well, a fairly quick one instead.

The method used to achieve your desired goals is what i call "BLASTING" and involves progressive training. Progressive exercise means forcing your body to work a little harder each time. That doesn't mean you have to build up to doing 60 minuites of aerobics like many people do, nor does it mean you should keep piling on the weight on the strength training exercises.

You just need to challenge the body with a stress that is strong enough to force the body to make improvements. You can do this in loads of ways but here are just a few

For strength training

Increase resistance
Perform more reps
Move the weight slower
Add an additional set
Use static holds
Change the exercises

For Cardiovascular

Go Faster
Increase workout time
Incorporate intervals
Use an incline (if possible)
Cross-train (change activity)

If you are unfamiliar with some of these techniques i mentioned above please contact me and i will be happy to help and provide you with a tailored program to fit your needs.
 

I have put together a HybridFit Challenge suitable for everyone, slight changes between male and female but overall the same. Full details to follow in the next couple days so keep checking back to this post as this is where they will be and we will ALL be starting them next week.

Ok, find below the first of the fitness tests that ive put together.

HFT1
1500mtr run
2 mins pushups
2 mins situps
Max effort swings 12kg female 16/20kg male (2 hands)

HFT2
1.5mile run
2 mins pushups
2 mins situps
Max effort snatches 8/12kg female 16/20kg male

Both the above tests are for best effort, so that means dont stop just keep going from one exercise to the next. See me if you want more details.

We'll as the title says, by making small changes to diet and exercise you can reap big rewards, its not just about doing strenuous exercise everyday but simply increasing your heart rate to make you a little breathless and to the point of sweating for 30 mins 4 times a week and you will be doing good. Try it!!
