having twins to getting fitness model-lean. She recently interviewed
over a dozen of the top fat loss experts in the world.
Jen is also an expert trainer with plenty to share...
CB: Why do some beginners drop out?
JH:
The main reason clients fail to contact me when they need help is
because they think they have "fallen off the wagon" or "done
themselves in" with chocolate.

Really, these slight deviations from diet can actually be mentally
refreshing and easily worked around. The problem lies in a
prolonged absence from utilizing me due to feelings of guilt, shame
or failure.

None of my clients are failures. Life happens, and nothing should
stop anyone from using the help they pay for. If a trainer finds
major flaws in their clients for something like this, they are not
worth having as trainers.

CB: What do you think about cardio for fat loss?
JH:
When I see people ding only cardio at the gym every time I see
them, it is no wonder that they look the same year after year.

They are always trying to get rid of that "flabby tricep" or that
"last bit of fat" on their abs. Cardio in volumes won't do it.

Weight training will. Smart nutrition with weight training and an
appropriate and not egregious amount of cardio is the way.

CB: Why is that?
JH:
I am certain that it is because there is an intimidation factor
associated in people's minds with weights. This can be complicated
further more by the idea that weights will make them bulky.

CB: Jen, you use weights, but look fantastic, not bulky.
JH:
I am not bulky, but I don't eat volumes of food over maintenance
either. The only way to "bulk up" is to eat over maintenance
calories.

The only way to get started on burning fat effectively is to eat
enough to give you body the energy it needs to do it! It is truly
time to get off the machines, and find a combination of weight
training and nutrition that will yield the true results women are
after.

CB: What are some other problems with fat loss programs?
JH:
Changing training schemes and nutritional plans too soon is a huge
deterrent from success in physique goals.

Training plans are best implemented on a 6-8 week basis, with lots

The best thing to do is to focus on increasing the weights lifted,
or beating records form the workout before. Once the inevitable
results start coming from being consistent, it becomes much easier
to feel dedicated to a particular plan for a sufficient amount of
time.

CB: What about diet plans?
JH:
The same goes for nutrition. Nutrition is most of the results we
getting the gym to begin with as I stated at the beginning of this
interview.

You can never know how well a nutritional outline will work for you
if you don't give it a fair chance. This involves a minimum of 4
weeks eating a certain way before determining whether it is
effective for your body.

Again, the tendency here is just that we want results sooner,
better, faster. Realizing that those kinds of results are the ones
that don't last can be a major stepping stone in achieve a lean
sexy body over a longer period of time, one that lasts!

CB: Any fat loss tips outside of eating and exercising?
JH:
It is imperative to get enough sleep. It is one of those things
that must be decided upon and done. Get as much done as you can,
make sleep a priority and go to bed. Most things can wait till the
morning.
