Losing weight in itself isn’t the hardest thing in the world. A lot of media would worry you into believing it was but the truth is, with the right amount of perseverance and patience you can easily shed those pounds. What’s often a lot more difficult is targeted weight loss, in which people want to lose fat or weight from a certain area of themselves. This is generally the belly or thighs but can pretty much be anywhere. You can just go for full on weight loss and hope the pounds will drop away from a certain area but it most cases it might be worth using more targeted exercises or techniques.
Some areas are particularly hard to lose far from, especially for women. Belly fat can be a real burden for certain ladies and no matter how much weight they seem to lose their belly fat simply doesn’t budge. This can be massively disconcerting and upsetting to say the least and it can put a lot of ladies off weight loss altogether. The truth is that there could be some good reasons that your belly fat won’t budge and though you think you’re doing everything right you may actually have missed some important information.
Muscle memory is especially important in this. If you’ve been doing a lot of abdominal training then there’s more than the possibility that the muscles in your abdomen have gotten used to the exercises you’ve been doing. This is called muscle memory it’s where the muscles have learnt a certain exercise and will do it almost automatically, removing any positive effect this exercise might have been having but making it much easier to do. Great if you’re doing endurance training, not so good if you’re trying to shift that belly fat.
Shake it up a bit and try out some different exercises, don’t give up just come at the issue from a different direction!
