Your Questions About Fat Burning Workouts For Women At Home

Jack T. answers:

Want to regain momentum? There’s good news: our bodies are incredibly fast learners.

But what about the softie syndrome? It’s true, women lose muscle during stretches of inactivity faster than men, but your muscles have a killer memory that will help get you back in shape. The key? Jump back in slowly. Don’t let your drive get extinguished on day one. A gradual rebuild in your fitness regimen will bring you great results without the risk of overdoing it. There’s an awesome article about what you should expect from your workouts on the Women’s Health magazine website called “Get Your Body Back.” Check it out at http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/revive-your-workout.

Certain muscle groups, like your arms, knees, and back, will be more sensitive at the beginning but WILL come around as you begin training regularly. Try a week-by-week approach to your workout intensity and you’ll get super-fit, not super-burned-out.

For simple exercises to regain fat-torching momentum and to prepare yourself between personal training sessions, try out these easy moves from WH. (http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/at-home-workouts-0)

Jack T. answers:

Don’t focus on cardios…it is not as effective as turbulence training (combination of high intense strength training and interval training)…have you seen the ladies day in and day out working out on long cardios, and their figure never seems to change.

Need to eat right too.

Try to focus on GAINING muscle mass if you’re getting in shape (doing weight training). You might not gain weight on the scale if you also do aerobics at the same time and lose body fat so you can still stabilize for a couple of months.

You start seeing results when you go down a dress size, which is about losing 2 inches on you measurements at your weight.
A 130lbs person would only need to lose one inch on her measurements to go down a size.

Weight wise, you can lose one inch on your breast, waist and hips measurements about every 10lbs loss.
Measure wise, without losing any weight on the scale, you can still lose one inch getting in shape in about 2 to 3 month while gaining muscle mass (weight training) but stabilizing le body by also doing aerobics to lose body fat (but not weight on the scale).
For the same mass, muscle mass is 3 times heavier than body fat (or you could say muscle mass takes 3 times less space than body fat for the same weight so you get thinner, stronger and toner without even losing weight) but will made your aerobics easier and more efficient.

I burn 32 calories per mile biking (That’s my average number, whatever my speed). I usually do an average of 12.5 miles/hour so I burn 400 calories in one hour. I would have to bike 109 miles in order to lose one pound of body fat (hopefully not on the scale, if I’m trying to get in shape and gain muscle mass).

Aerobics:
Try to choose 3 main aerobic activities to avoid boredom, challenge your body in different ways and allow for flexibility (I walk/jog, swim and bike). Do not jog (you can power walk) or do other high impact exercises as you weigh more than 140lbs, to protect your joints.

Anaerobics:
As a woman, for weight training, you just need to do calisthenics and use small weights at home. Get 2.5lbs, 5lbs and 8lbs dumbbells and some wrist/ankle weights like 1.5lbs, 2.5lbs and 5lbs adjustable (1 to 5).
Do only one set to failure and rest every other day…or two or three days (in your 30s), three or four days (in your 40s), four or five days (in your 50s)…and so on. The older you get, the longer you have to wait for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) so you can repair stronger and not interfere with your healing.
Do calisthenics (crunches, lunges, squats, push-ups, heel raises…) and use free weights (leg extension, butt/hip extension, back left lift, dumbbells curls and other arm/shoulder/back exercises). Make sure that you eat well so you get a good blood sugar level since your body cannot use body fat doing anaerobics (not enough oxygen, since it’s too intense).
Squats are the best (quads, hamstrings and gluteus – Lower Body) but also do lunges (quads – Lower Body), push-ups (chest, triceps and shoulders – Upper Body) and any exercise you feel that you need…dumbbells curls for biceps (Upper Body) or using a ThighMaster for hip adductors (inner thighs – Lower Body).

A whole body workout could be push-ups (Upper Body), lunges (Lower Body), back strengtheners (UB), door squats (LB), shoulder lateral raises (UB), leg extension (LB), triceps extensions (UB), ThighMaster (LB), dumbbells curls (UB), side leg lifts (LB), crunches (abs) and heel raises (LB).

Then, if you have an extra half an hour, you could do more crunches (abs) and upright row (UB), butt/hip extension (LB), arm kickbacks (UB), back leg lifts (LB) and seated rows (UB).
