How to Navigate the Get Healthy U TV Website

Hi there:

Great question. It won’t surprise you to know you are not alone! We get this question all the time – especially from women over 45. Peri-menopause and menopause can wreak havoc on our bodies and it can be frustrating, There is a certain amount of hormonal activity happening that you cannot change. So what CAN you change to improve that area ? IT’s a combination of CLEAN EATING, CARDIO EXERCISE and STRENGTH TRAINING! Yes – unfortunately you need all of these.

Eating processed, sugar or fat-laden foods , or even just too many empty carbohydrates make you bloated and retain fat in your mid-section. Clean eating means lean protein, high quality fat like olive oil or coconut oils, and lots of vegetables and natural fruit.

Cardio exercise helps shed calories and fat from your body taking off the layer of fat ALL OVER , since you CANNOT spot reduce. This means you can’t exercise one area and made it disappear. Science doesn’t work that way. Fat reduces evenly from all over your body. In addition – interval training such as Hiit once or twice is week really kicks your body into high gear for shedding fat!

Finally, building muscle matters because it improves your metabolism and helps shape and tone your body.

If you’re looking for a workouts suggestion I’d say try our Body CHisel calendar. It is a 28-day calendar that will help you lean and tone up.

If that doesn’t seem right for you, our Strong and Lean calendar is great but challenging!!! Let me know if you need other suggestions.
