Getting Rid of Last Layer of Fat: Post from Aubrey, June 1, 2009
Q: Hey sexy! Okay here's my dilemma; I have a good amount of muscle going on in my core area but I have a little layer of fat that I just can't seem to get rid of. It's hiding my muscles a little bit. How do I go about getting rid of this pester?
A: Hey Aubrey! That last little layer of fat, whether it’s on your tummy or on your butt and thighs (like mine), is something we all contend with. Unfortunately, as we get leaner, our bodies will resist letting that last bit of fat go because it kicks into preservation mode.
In order to overcome this plateau, you need to either change your diet (really be nit-picky on calories or try a carb rotation) or you can try increasing your calorie burn with exercises that provide more of a challenge.I typically like to incorporate plyometrics into my routine a few days a week to really shock my system into letting those last few pounds of fat go. If you haven’t seen my “plyo card” video yet, you might try that routine. It seems fairly easy at first, but I think once you get through it, you’ll be surprised at how challenging it is. If you are super advanced, try adding a medicine ball.
