Weight Loss and Fat Loss are often lumped into the same conversation.
⠀
They shouldn't be.
⠀
They are two VERY different things.
⠀
Weight loss is what your mom did in the 70s,80s,90s, doing tons of aerobics, zumba, Jenny Craig, and Weight Watchers.
⠀
Remember how excited she got about the scale going down 5 lbs?
⠀
The modern-day equivalent of weight loss are these low-carb, low-fat, FAD/CRASH diets along with sweaty, endorphin-inducing, heart racing exercise classes.
⠀
There is nothing wrong with bootcamp/HIIT workouts, but if you want to be "toned" you have to build muscle tone.
⠀
Building muscle means progressive overload, increasing the weight, reps, sets, volume, and overally INTENSITY.
⠀
This means some of my clients are now resting 2-4 minutes between sets when they used to rest 30 seconds.
⠀
It's not sexy. It's not sweaty.
⠀
Working 2-4 reps close to failure is key to building muscle. If you have still have 5-10 reps left in the tank, you are not lifting heavy enough.
⠀
Adding weight to the bar every week should be the goal if you want to build muscle, and using a 5lb dumbbell during your bootcamp workout is not going to build muscle.
⠀
Another key point is a calorie deficit.
⠀
If you are in too much of a deficit, you will not build muscle, you will LOSE WEIGHT.
⠀
This is not what you want, because you are just going to look the same, only smaller.
⠀
If you want to lose FAT, a moderate calorie deficit is key.
⠀
If you want, there is a calorie calculator in the link in my bio :)
⠀
A moderate deficit will help you continue to build muscle while losing fat and feeling good while you are doing it.
⠀
Lift Heavy. Eat More. Less Cardio. Less Sweatiness. More Protein. More Steps.
⠀
Good?
⠀
Good.
⠀
Love you guys.
