Why 93% Of Women NEVER Lose Belly Fat

Рет қаралды 171,015

What’s the real reason why 93% Of Women Never Lose Belly Fat?
BECAUSE IT’S REALLY…
REALLY…
REALLY HARD!
And because when we feel like results aren’t snowballing,
when we don’t see changes happening on the scale, we feel like the effort doesn’t equal the outcome…
And we QUIT.
But to lose from those oh so stubborn areas…To lose that last little bit…
We often NEED to keep going past the point we want to quit.
We need to stay consistent, be precise with our nutrition and workouts and not give up just because it feels like nothing is happening.
Because the simple fact of the matter is…
It’s not easy to reach a new level of leanness…especially for the first time.
And stubborn areas are stubborn for a reason.
Literally we may see fat being lost from EVERYWHERE else FIRST before we shed that final bit.
We may not see the scale change at all as we are actually getting leaner.
But we will only lose that last little bit of stubborn belly fat if we don’t quit or let little inconsistencies and 1% deviations from our plan start to add up.
We’ve got to embrace the suck of doing something hard and outside our comfort zone.
Which is easier to do when we remember that what you do to reach a goal is not what you’ll do to maintain it.
While we don’t want to sabotage our long-term success with fad diets or crazy 2 a day workout routines, we do need to recognize that not everything we do will feel sustainable.
There is a hard we have to push through before we then transition into maintenance and more of a lifestyle balance.
So now that I’ve sold you on still pursuing your goal of achieving abs so you can be in that 7%
I want to share why some areas are so stubborn to lose from…
Then go over the 2 main struggles you will have to push through…
And finally highlight 4 key tips that can make that 1% difference when you already have the fundamentals dialed in.
So first, why are areas like our stomachs, especially often the lower abs and obliques, so hard to lose from?

Reason we get and stay fat is because it is so incredibly easy to do so. 99% of the products sold in grocery store are slowly killing us while making us fat and sick. Our stressful lives and so comfortable couches are the other drivers. Let's break that cycle. Get sick and tired of being sick and tired! ❤🎉

I've had two children and am over 60yrs. I gained 30-40 pounds during the pandemic lockdown. Just when I thought I was just too old to get back into shape, I finally showed progress. I found that I do need to take breaks from dieting and eat spaghetti and meatballs or whatever once a week and just rest once or twice a week instead of mad exercise several times a day, every day.

@redefiningstrengthOC 14 күн бұрын

YES! It's not just one intensity forever. Diet breaks, "cheat days," refeeds...all help us create balance for consistency long term, which is key. Can't out exercise or out diet time and sometimes backing off and doing the minimum to even keep going helps us find that motivation again to push through a bit more!

I started working out consistently 1 Year ago in Feb. I am getting so much stronger. I can do things now I couldn't then. I didn't have abs yet but can see some definition. I'm in my late 40s and while I wish I would have done this in my 20s an grateful I finally found my strength.

5 days before my period I simply cannot exercise. I tried. Took another week to recover fully. So I just simply give myself a break that week before. I sleep more, eat more progesterone foods and when I get tired, I rest. Seriously, listening to your body is so underrated.

@redefiningstrengthOC 2 күн бұрын

Listening to your body is key but also, we have to recognize that so much of how we "feel" is also what we've TRAINED. We can feel full while under eating. We can train ourselves to repeat certain patterns. So responding to our body is key but also planning ahead to address what we "should" do and what may be needed despite how we feel also has to be balanced in. Meeting ourselves where we are at, while moving ourselves forward!

I needed this today! While working out at the gym yesterday, I noticed my upper abs are becoming more defined, but my lower pouch looked bigger. I felt deflated and lost some of my motivation. I couldn't understand why my lower pouch was getting bigger while everything else was getting smaller. I was not looking forward to today's workout. After seeing this, I am ready to hit it hard in the gym today! Saving this to watch as a reminder when I'm feeling less motivated. Thank you for sharing!!!

YES! Because you're losing, and haven't yet lost there, you feel it looks bigger. BUT keep going! You'll start to see changes in those stubborn areas!

@TheBaumcm 15 күн бұрын

I found the lower pouch, due to gravity, is the last to go. I also have extra skin which can take over a year to tighten up, longer and sometimes never the older you are and the longer it was there. It also may be the “everything is relative” function. Consider it a step along the way, as everything we do until the day we die is, much like a puppy who trips over his own ears until he grows into them. Even if it never disappears completely, it doesn’t mean you haven’t worked hard. Focus on the positives.

I think the switch from aesthetic goals to athletic goals is how you actually achieve aesthetic goals 😅. The moment I stopped worrying about looks or weight and started focusing on fun athletic goals like farther faster heavier and chasing things like can I learn to backflip? Can I sprint train without injury? What sort of flexibily/mobility/stability do I need to do those insane calisthenics moves?? Then I was training/eating in order to fuel something FUN not something that caused me stress (waist size). And let me tell you the body CONFIDENCE that comes from being able to do a dragon squat or multiple pull ups is second to none!

Definitely setting goals that motivate us to keep at the habits that also yield aesthetic goals is key! Love that you're finding ways to keep yourself motivated, moving forward and enjoying the journey! All about pursuing those challenges we want! And often that hard work does pay off in so many ways :-) Confidence and strength are truly built through what we overcome and show ourselves we can do!

It's been 9 months since I started to change habits, and 7 months since I started working out regularly. I watch your videos (to see your beautiful muscle tone) whenever I need more motivation. I've lost quite a bit of belly fat, but there's still a lot more to shred. I'm starting to see some definition in my stomach, though...well, if I squint hard😅 Hope I can continue this lifestyle forever.

I always love a good video that doesn't sell you tons of crap and false hopes. This is the truth you're saying here - good nutrition, good exercise, and quality over quantity. I would add fasting to that equation and you get yourself a very good recipe for a healthy metabolism. Preach!

@redefiningstrengthOC 14 күн бұрын

Those basics are essential. Only because I love nerding out about this I feel the need to say... I honestly would only debate you on the fasting, not because I don't like it (I do and have used it personally based on my specific goals at the time) and I see lots of merit for lots of clients, BUT because one meal timing doesn't work for everyone and you can achieve many of the benefits of fasting in other ways. And for some clients we avoid fasting as it leads to them creating too much restriction or not working with their schedule. All about knowing the options and opportunities in things and then finding what works for us!

Wow! More women need to see this video! I’m 50 in Menopause and at it for a year with weightlifting, rucking (weighted vest walking), walking and caloric deficit… I didn’t pay attention that I am loosing weight on my arms and chest and just looked at my belly. What an aha moment! Thanks! 🙏

It’s the consistency to me. A vacation or holiday comes up and knocks me totally off for a week or two.

It has in the past BUT knowing this pattern, you now have the power to adjust. What's one thing you could test out to help yourself not stay off track for weeks after? I know for me it was having meals already prepped for when I got back. It was having exactly a game plan and even implementing a mini cut at times prior. But when we know our patterns, while very hard to change, we do gain the power to adjust!

Those clips from the back in the day informercials tickled me. I used to like watching infomercials because I liked the promise of a new product. But nothing works if you don't work it. Or is nothing changes nothing changes. As always I enjoyed watching your video.

Two key points right there - the plan doesn't work if you don't work the plan. And to achieve a new and better result, you can't keep doing what you've always done!

I’m a guy watching this but it (almost) all applies to me too. Love the content. I guess you could consider me on a diet break after 3 years of weight loss. But I still want to lose that last belly fat. I like how you describe it as a worthwhile goal even if not absolutely necessary but as a way to conquer your body and just show that you can do it. Plus, I have a cute dog too.

@redefiningstrengthOC 16 күн бұрын

YES! So much really does apply to us all. And focusing on adjusting those macros, even as you keep your calories where they are, may help you kickstart that body recomp! And thank you! I like to own the hard but also realize that often goals are about what we can prove to ourselves we can accomplish!

Hey Corey, this is a great video-like all your videos. Something I would like to learn more about from you is the recovery process. I’ve been consistently strength training about five days a week and then I do a couple 5K runs usually for cardio, or maybe rowing if the weather is crappy. I get a decent amount of sleep, but I never know exactly what else I should be doing for recovery. Do I need to take an entire day off? Anyway, more about recovery would be awesome.

@redefiningstrengthOC 13 күн бұрын

Recovery definitely means a variety of things - even how you fuel. And if you're cycling areas worked and workout intensity, you're already doing some great things to give your body time to rebuild. And a day off doesn't have to mean doing nothing...it could be walks, mobility work...but yes a lower intensity day to rebuild and even allow your mind to relax and not have to push is key! But tracking your workouts to see how you're progressing can help you know if you need more recovery time or even a deload or full recovery week. But definitely a great subject to talk more on!

We need a bit of belly fat. We need to maintain a certain amount of body fat or else our hormones will become imbalanced.

@redefiningstrengthOC 15 күн бұрын

We need to have enough fat for hormonal balance, but that doesn't mean we can't have definition in our abs. And exactly what level a woman needs varies based on her genetics and build.

This was really helpful. Thank you! Do you have any videos showing a sample meal plan you follow? I track my calories but I think I'm still in too much of a deficit. I struggle to get in all of my protein. What you said about the scale made me feel better. I can physically see the changes but I haven't lost any additional weight in 2 weeks. I'm down 35lbs total.

@redefiningstrengthOC 16 күн бұрын

Congrats on those results already! Cycling your personal macros is key and if you're hitting that plateau after an extended deficit, a diet break or even slow retraining to eat more may be key! Also just staying consistent with a slight stall on the scale may be all you need as you break that next set point. Keep focusing on that protein and here are tips to help - redefiningstrength.com/the-best-way-to-use-protein-to-build-muscle-or-lose-fat-7-tips?sl=yc

I feel like we will always want to learn, grow and improve. And what aesthetic you want to achieve, may be different. But understanding the consistency it takes to reach a goal, is what can help us achieve anything we set our mind to!

@@redefiningstrengthOC I achieved my goal. It’s easy for me to be consistent. It’s my natural disposition. The process thought me that after getting abs one still has to stay focus because the next stage is to improve my body composition.
