Elite Personal Trainer Shares 5 Tools to Melt the Fat This Winter

by Lynn VanDyke

Don’t be held hostage to the obligatory holiday weight

gain. Instead, melt the fat by sculpting your own fitness

and nutrition program. If you feel that you need earmuffs

and blinders to withstand the blizzard of health and

fitness information, use these 5 simple tools from personal

trainer and sports nutritionist Lynn VanDyke to chisel your

perfect body.

Tool 1- Strength Training: Every pound of muscle burns

35-50 calories per day. Adding lean muscle mass is the best

way to kick-start your metabolism, fight osteoporosis and

melt the fat. Try doing 3 sets of 12 repetitions for each

major muscle group. Sprinkle in different exercises such

as bicep curls, lunges or tricep kickbacks. Work each

muscle 1-3 times per week and always use perfect form.

Tool 2- Cardio: Cardio strengthens our heart and lungs.

Anything that gets your heart pumping qualifies. Try

walking, jogging, running, dancing, swimming, biking, or

house cleaning. Cardio should be done at varying intensity

levels and session lengths. Mix up your week with a short,

high intensity session, a few long, low intensity sessions

and 1 or 2 medium intensity and length sessions. Variation

is key.

Tool 3- Nutrition: Healthy eating is usually the casualty

of a failed exercise program. Counteract the desire to eat

cookies and ice cream by fueling your body with lean

proteins and complex carbs. Snack in moderation by eating

small healthy meals throughout your day. More importantly,

if you indulge a bit more than you had planned forget the

guilt and get back on track. Guilt is not productive.

Tool 4- Rest: Take 1-2 days rest from working out each week

and grab between 7-9 hours of deep and peaceful shut eye

each and every night. Rest is not a luxury. It is a

necessity. Without proper rest our body never fully

repairs from the daily wear and tear we place on it. We

can grow tired and lose energy from irregular rest

patterns. Stay on top of your game by resting often.

Tool 5 – Grab a copy of A Step-by-Step Guide: How to Melt

the Fat & Gain a Life. This interactive program includes

over 200 exercises and workout routines, over 160 daily

menus and generates loads of motivation. Knowing how to

succeed with your weight loss goals is equally as important

as putting your plan in motion. This guide shows you

exactly how to eat, how to workout and how to succeed with

health.

“We can all melt the fat this winter if we follow these 5

simple tools,” says Lynn VanDyke, personal trainer and

creator of the Melt the Fat Interactive Guide. “The trick

is truly staying motivated and ignoring all the fitness

hype and diet fads. These 5 tools help you do just that.”
