How to sculpt your thighs and hips and lower belly fat after 40

Q.My thighs and hips lower belly as I am 47 seem to be very hard to address! Can you help? from Eileen

A. Don't buy into the myth just because you are over 40 that you should accept being stuck with your body. I have worked with many women that are over 40 that have achieved a better body than in their 20's or 30's! You may be asking so what is the SECRET?

The real secret isn't a diet, but a MINDSET. You must first stop telling yourself what you don't want and focus on what you want! I know that may sound simple but too many women
go into their story of how they hate their bodies and feel that there is nothing they can do.

Here's the deal...if you are serious about trimming off the lower belly fat, and shedding the extra inches you need to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself to do what it takes.

I find that women need to not only give themselves that push mentally, but physically too.

If you are only weight training 2x week, that isn't going to cut it. Especially if you are using the little pink weights!

Here's what works:
*3-4x weight training (either do an upper/lower body split or full body workouts)
Here is an example:
Monday- Upper body (chest and back)
Wednesday- Lower body (legs)
Friday- Full body workout (chest, back, legs, abs)

* Mix up your cardio- Do intervals and longer steady state sessions.
For example:
3x week intervals
1x week steady state (too much steady state will not give you the results you are looking for)

*Increase your intensity. - In order to take your body to the next level increasing either the weights you are currently using or taking less rest in between.

*Raise your calories- I find most women eating like birds and wonder why their metabolism is so slow. Do this slowly and stay at maintenance calories for a few weeks and this will work wonders.

*Increase your protein intake.- Protein is your SECRET weapon to slim down the hips, thighs, and belly and tighten your muscles.

*Decrease your starchy carbs- Many women can't handle too many carbs. Depending on the frequency of your training your carb intake will vary. Save the bread for special treat days. I show you exactly how you should do this in my 6 week fat burning system
