Did you know that having a professionally designed workout and following a fat loss nutrition system
*still* doesn’t guarantee you’ll lose those unwanted pounds?

Frustrating but true.

I was just chatting with my friend and Moms Fat Loss Expert, Holly Rigsby and she’s discovered some interesting realities with her huge community of moms following her Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss System.

Here’s what Holly had to share:

“While thousands of moms have followed my Fit Yummy Mummy program and seen great results, I’ve found that a LOT of women don’t receive the results they are looking for because they fall short in three areas during their workouts:

3 Top Reasons Your Workouts Are Failing

_____________________________________________________________________________________

1. They don’t work out at the intensity necessary to make their body improve.

2. They don’t follow the proper workout design and maintain the pace of the workouts that she or other
fitness experts recommend in their programs.

3. They simply don’t understand how to do the exercises by simply looking at a picture in an e-book.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Her revelation was this: many women *need* to have a follow along workout they can watch to achieve the
results they want from their workouts.

Only by actually seeing how to do the exercises and follow the workout exactly as it was designed do these
women get the results that they’re looking for.”

===========================
A plan is only good if it’s followed
===========================

As you probably already know, the best diet, the most powerful workout…they’re only good if the person trying to follow them knows what they’re doing.

In other words, you can have the best workout in the world, but if you don’t know how to do the exercises properly, you’re not only going to miss out on results, but you might even get injured by using improper technique.

And it’s not your fault.

You’re trying to follow the plan…but you don’t know what you don’t know.

But if you’re willing to follow a plan and would like to know *exactly* how to do your workouts to get maximum results, you’re in luck!

Today I want to tell you about the best FAT LOSS DVD’s I’ve ever seen. Holly Rigsby has just released her Fit Yummy Mummy DVD Set with her patented ‘Learn It’ and ‘Do It’ sections so you never have to wonder if your workouts are giving you the results you’re looking for ever again.

I just completed my first 12 week fitness challenge. This is the first time that I used an online nutrition planner which was really awesome! It allowed me to see if I reached my daily goal for all of my nutrients. It also allowed me to see which foods that I normally eat are really good or bad for me. It is still amazing to me that due to my current height, weight, age and activity level that I need to consume between 2000 to 2200 calories / day just to lose weight! There are so many people that aren’t even eating enough calories let alone eating the right things.

I want to share the most important thing that I learned during this time. Our bodies are very similar to our relationships with our spouses and our children. We need to find their love language to communicate effectively with them. We also need to find our love language for our bodies. I’ve been tweaking my diet and fitness plans for years and still learning new things about MY body. It takes time to learn to work with our hubbies and kids and that changes over time just like our bodies change over time. What you did 3 years ago might not work for your body today.

I see fitness as a journey to learn my body even though I may not get the right answers for some time but each and every physical body is so different. I can’t base my success or my journey on everyone else’s flat belly results. What I can do is go that extra mile, like try the elimination diet to see which foods have the most negative effect on my body.  You have to figure out YOUR body’s love language to be most effective in your weight loss efforts.

I have also embraced that the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve lost so many inches and gone down 2 dress sizes but I tend to gain muscle really fast. This muscle gain really shows on the scale. I have seen great results but this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see my flat belly results by the end of this year since I have found the best fitness plan for this target area.

I have had the busiest year of my life but yet have found the most amount of energy due to focusing on my fitness and health goals. It’s been fun to watch my kids exercise with me and ask me why I’m doing so many exercises.  This is instilling a great value in their lives just as we give them other moral values. Ok on to my initial and final stats!

Total Loss -2 lbs -12 inches!

These were my goals back in January:

My Goals: To get rid of my belly fat (YUCK!). I used to have a perfect flat belly before kids and I want it back. My arms and thighs used to be very toned (even with kids) so I want my toned, chiseled arms and thighs back. It’s hard to say what that weight loss goal is but I will keep at it until I reach my flat belly and toned arms and thighs. I see the most progress (2 months on my own and 1 month with FYM) on my back and the back of my thighs. I used to have 3 rolls of fat on my back and a lot more cellulite on my thighs. I don’t know what I’m doing to get the most progress in those areas but I want some progress in my BELLY!!! LOL

I initially started my weight loss journey in March 2008 and I started out at 200 lbs. As you can see, I started to lose the most amount of weight in the beginning and the most amount of inches during my fitness challenge. The loss of 2 lbs in 12 weeks was actually a fluctuation throughout the entire time.

I had a hard time consistently intaking the high amount of calories that I needed on a daily basis. I am more encouraged that I actually met my goals which wasn’t based on the scale. I lost 4 inches in my belly! WOOHOO! This is an incredible start to an even greater journey. My arm definition is coming back, my thighs have slimmed down and are in now in a position to develop muscle definition again.  I plan to take a 2 week break (my body does better with weight loss after breaks) and jump right back into another 12 week challenge!

I also have to add that I have seen more results with my belly fat in 3 months with Quick Mom Workouts than my 3 years with Curves! These results also stem from working out less time with only 15 minutes a day for 6 days/week! Here are the key factors that I believe are the reasons:

1. Change of my workout every 4 weeks
2. Online Nutrition Planner with FYM
3. Club FYM support forum
4. Interval Training
5. Eating every 3-4 hours

Go for your weight loss goals and I’ll report back the awesome results from my next fitness challenge!

Great article by my fitness coach, Holly Rigsby

Seems everyone has a list these days. Well I have one of my own that not only works for me, but for hundreds of Fit Yummy Mummy’s as well. These foods will not only help your body burn more calories but they are delicious, affordable and EASY to prepare. So print out this list and Get Energized!

1. High Fiber Cereal - look for 5 grams or more of Fiber and no more than 8g of sugar. It’s good to have at least one hot cereal (rolled oats) and one cold (Kashi Go Lean Crunch).

2. Apples - Okay, any fresh fruit will do, but apples are so easy to grab and go, we always have them on hand. Make it easy on yourself and have at least 2 different fresh fruits you can choose to eat each day. This week I have apple slices and grapes on hand.

3. Almonds - Your “portable protein” – the perfect emergency snack or pair it up with a fruit or veggie. High in metabolism-boosting Protein and Healthy Fats. But it is easy to eat too many – measure out 1/4 cup servings and stick in a snack size baggie.

4. Eggs - Yes, they ARE good for you. They are considered the gold standard of protein quality because of their superior amino acid content. It takes less than 3 minutes to prepare an egg.

5. Spinach - This super veggie goes with everything. At only 5 calories per cup how could it not?! Use in omelets, wraps, salads, side dishes…the list goes on.

6. Yogurt - great source of protein and the live cultures help boost immunity. It goes great with Kashi Go Lean Crunch or other high fiber cereals. HOWEVER: Avoid choosing brands that contain added sugar – especially High Fructose Corn Syrup. Read the ingredients!

7. Grilled Chicken - okay this is tied with frozen wild salmon filets (loaded with omega-3′s.) One of the easiest, most versatile “meal makers” available. I’ll have to share the many ways chicken can be prepared just to prove it is not boring to eat!

8. Black Beans - Packed with the leanest protein and very high in fiber – and only $.75 a can – how can you go wrong? Beans are a great alternative to those who feel like they are eating the same protein day in and day out.

9. Salsa - yes, tomatoes have wonderful health benefits, but in salsa form they also work well to add low cal, energizing flavor to your meals. From eggs, to rice and beans and even as a salad dressing. Choose a spicy variety and get the added metabolism-boosting kick from Capsaicin – the chemical in peppers that gives them their bite.

10. Green Tea - A Morning Must. Now I used to be an avid Starbucks fan….but the extra calories and ton of sugar completely sabotaged my results. Green tea was the perfect replacement. It has a lower level of caffeine and loaded with EGCG. (studies show this ingredient causes your brain and nervous system to run more quickly- helping you burn more calories.) BONUS: It enhances your mood as well.

Get Ready to Target Your Core!

If you’ve been searching for the most effective Tummy Flattener – you’ve found the right place! As far as your workouts go, you need to use upper body and lower body exercises that work many muscles at once – but I can hear you saying, what about my abs?

I want to get rid of my “mommy belly”!

Sure, including Abs as part of your routine is beneficial for strength purposes, but remember – no amount of “abs exercises” will make your belly fat disappear. Doing hundreds of crunches a day will do nothing to flatten your tummy. Believe me, I know from experience! I used to do 100 crunches/day with NO results until I found these exercises!

You will get three times more out of your workout by concentrating on the largest muscles. The “Abs” that you want to work through crunches are small….you can burn triple the amount of calories by doing full body exercises that also include a core component.

Your CORE is your body’s pillar. It must be strong in order for the exercises you do to be most effective, delivering faster results. Some of the best “ab exercises” actually use your whole body! (work your abs, use more muscles, increase your metabolism….that’s the way to go!)

Here are 3 Top Belly Blaster Exercises:

The Plank

The plank seems to magically flatten your belly as you engage the deepest muscles of your core. Be sure to form straight line from the ears, through shoulders and hips, to heels. Your body should not arch or sag. Engage your legs and your glutes and hold for as long as you can. Also make sure to hold in your belly tight. Ideally you will work your way up to 3 sets of 60 second holds.

The Side Plank

Raise your body in a straight line so that your body hovers over the mat.  Keep your back straight and your hips up. Hold your abs tight. Pull your navel into your spine but breathe normally. Hold this position for the recommended amount of time.

The Belly Blaster

 

Keep your back straight and your hips up. Push off your forearms and raise your hips and glutes into the air and hold for 5-10 seconds. Lower your back to plank position so your body hovers just above the floor. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

These are tips that I’m learning from my fitness coach Holly Rigsby. She also has even more advanced belly blasters with different variations of the above exercises. As an athlete, this is very helpful for me because I tend to plateau in my weight loss. I love that she has incremental workouts so be sure to check out more of her exercises that focuses on all of those mommy trouble spots at Fit Yummy Mummy.
