Scroll down for RESULTS!!!
Hello! Thanks for checking in:) I am so excited you all have reached out (if you haven't, it's free to connect with me!!). I love helping you get RESULTS!!!
MY TOP 7 SLIM DOWN TRIED & TRUE- TIPS!!!
1. Drink A GALLON of Water (YES YOU CAN...take it slow)
You know water is insanely important. When you want to lose weight THIS IS THE FIRST PLACE TO START GAINING FOCUS. The conversion of fat into energy takes place in your liver, and this process requires that you be well hydrated.
Drinking a gallon of water over the course of your day is a goal to aim for. This goal is easily met when you get into the habit of sipping water throughout the day, drinking a full glass before meals, & WHEN YOU FIRST GET UP! (that is a favorite CANdi tip!!)
2. Cut out Alcohol (again, YOU CAN DO THIS!!! NO WHINING!!! and if you can not, we need to have a different conversation. hugs)
Despite being your least favorite of the tips I am laying out today, it remains one of the most effective. First, cutting out alcohol causes fat loss as it is empty calories!!! These are simple sugars that taste great but add up quickly as stored fat in all the wrong places. (and only feel good short term)
The second reason to avoid alcohol is that the simple energy that your body derives from the alcohol will be used as energy long before your fat stores are tapped, making it impossible to reduce body fat on days when alcohol is consumed. That some incentive to put down your glass and reach for some water.
3. Do a Variety of Cardio
Changing it up will make all the difference. Getting in calorie-burning activities is crucial to quickly eliminating fat stores. Its been proven (scientifically and in our studio) that long steady cardio is not the way.
Pick an Aerobic activity are enjoyable! Hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, jogging, brisk walking (Cardio HIITboxing at iCANdi is actually super fun and SERIOUSLY ALL LEVEL even if you can not get on the floor – any activity that requires you to move your body - though take breaks in between to get the true magic in the RESULTS!
4. Cut out Processed Junk
This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to SAVE MONEY and lose body fat and still you don't do it. Is it really that tough to say goodbye forever to those processed snacks?
This is one obstacle that prevents most people from achieving the body that they want.
The best tip for successfully getting processed junk food out of your life is to look for better alteratives. One step at a time. Google to see if there is a smilar option with out refined sugar and gluten.
If you think you may be addicted, start with a smaller portion of that go to snack and add a piece of fruit. When your belly is full of wholesome snacks, it’s hard to care too much about the processed junk you missed out on. I swear, natural things will start tasting way sweeter when you start cutting out the HIGH SUGAR foods you are currently eating...READ THE LABEL. And soon you’ll learn to love how lean and energetic these healthier foods make you feel.
5. Strength Train
So many people are still scared or do not know where to start with this seriously important way to A TONED BODY NOT JUST WEIGHT LOSS> (CANdis who have lost 50 plus lb don't have a lot of hanging skin because they go slow and steady AND STRENGTH TRAINING) The act of lifting weights causes those targeted muscles to stimulate new muscle tissue growth which means the muscle tissue becomes leaner and sculpted. PLUS THIS MEANS BETTER METABOLISM. So you will drop the weight easier!!
6. MOVE MORE
Sitting for more than a hour will put your body in conservation mode and frick your metabolism. (conservation mode means your body stops burning). Many watches now have a cool alarm to remind you to get up every hour.
Getting up and moving around, even walking or cleaning the house the same day as a workout, you will burn double!!!!
Our bodies are made to move, the more you move, the faster AND easier this journey will be!!!!!
Start small with 5 min, then increase....and increase
7. GET HELP!!!!
