Hey! Nicole here from Shape It Up
helping women over 40
get fit, be fierce and have no limits
to what they can accomplish!
Each week on the Shape It Up channel, I post videos on workouts, fit tips
and nutrition strategies that you can
actually use and apply in your life
so if you are new here please consider subscribing.
Also, make sure you watch to the very end of the video today
because I will be sharing how to tighten
and tone up your arms and tush.
So can you target fat loss?"
The short answer is no.
Why you can't lose body fat in just one
area of your body?
Your body stores body fat in different areas of your body based on your genetics.
We all have primary fat storage and secondary fat storage so forth and so on.
Take me for instance, if I gain body fat it will immediately show up in my tush
(Hit the like button if you can relate!)
This is where I am going to gain fat first.
If I were to continue to gain body fat it would start in my hips
then it would progress to my thighs...and then my waist
and so forth and would fill out my frame.
Here's the kicker!
When I lose body fat it's not gonna come off of my tush first.
That's my primary fat storage site.
No!
I It will come off my face and my ankles first.
If I continue to lose body fat it will travel through my chest, my waist.
Eventually, when I am get closer to a lower body fat percentage
only then am I going to see it come off my hips and tush!
Have you ever uttered these words or heard a friend say
"I am losing weight but
my hips are just
huge!"
From my experience of working with 100's of women on how to lose body fat,
most women start to lose body fat in their face
Then it will start going into the torso and the arms and the waist.
What happens is as you get smaller...
because you primary body fat storage is your hips,
everything else is looking smaller
but your hips are just the same.
It's kind of an optical illusion.
You just haven't hit that primary body fat storage spot yet.
Here's another kicker!
If you start to lose body fat and you're getting close to hitting your primary storage area
BUT you start gaining body fat back….
guess where it goes???
You got it!
It goes right into your primary body fat storage area.
Which is...generally speaking for most women...is your hips.
Now, not only is your torso lean
and you still haven't lost the body fat you initially wanted...
now you are adding on to it
so your hips are going to be even wider!
Not what most women are going for!
This is one of the reasons why yo-you dieting is such a nightmare!
More on that in another Shape It Up video.
When you are getting close to your primary fat storage….
keep going!!
Those "trouble areas" will decrease and then may even disappear completely
as you hit your ideal body fat percentage.
