Strength Training for Fat Loss (Free Workouts)

November 1, 2016 By Heather Blackmon

.

We’re headed into the final few months of the year, which is often filled with more food and temptation than any other time of year. I want to help you end the year on a high note with a free strength training program for fat loss goals!

Download the FREE two week workout guide to help you make progress toward your fat loss goals. This guide includes full workout descriptions with specific sets & reps for each exercise, links to video demonstrations of each exercise, & home workout options (with dumbbells or bands). Grab your copy & start making progress! (via @fitaspire)

This is the time of year where one of two things happen:

  • you decide to put off your health goals until the new year or
  • you choose to stay focused on your goals to finish the year strong!

The problem with putting your health goals on hold until next year, is that you start to dig an even deeper hole. When January rolls around, this means you have steeper hill to climb, which sets you up for frustration. We all like to see results fast, but if you dig a hole for 2 months, it may take another 2 months to get back to where you are now. That’s not fun.

Imagine what could happen if you don’t put your goals on hold.

What if you choose to focus on your goals for just 1 hour, 4-5 days per week? Imagine where you would be after just a few months with this approach! Instead of a deeper hole to dig out of, you would actually be closer to your goal. What an awesome way to start 2017!

Why Focus on Strength Training?

When your goal is related to body composition (like fat loss) many people mistakenly focus on cardio workouts. I believe cardiovascular health is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle, but spending hours on cardio machines is not the best way to help reshape your body. I admit that I made this mistake for years, before I learned there was a better approach.

The best way to reach your fat loss goals is to combine effective strength training strategies, targeted cardio workouts, and eating support your health & goals. When I’m working with a client on these goals, we typically create a program with 3-4 days of strength training, 2-3 days of cardio (focusing on shorter, HIIT-style workouts), and a nutrition plan that focuses on changing habits and learning effective portions and timing of macros for the goals.

Now you’re probably wondering how to determine what strength training workouts you should do…

Free Strength Training for Fat Loss Workouts

I’m excited to share a full week of  workouts & nutrition tips, designed specifically for your fat loss goals. For 7 days, I’ll send you the workouts to do each day (plus a bonus nutrition challenge). You can choose the workouts that are best for you – whether you’re just getting started or have been lifting consistently for several months. The workouts will include options for gym or home workouts, so you can choose which is better for you. All you need for home workouts are dumbbells or resistance bands. 

When you sign up, I’ll be your virtual trainer for the next week!

You’ll get a daily email, including the workout for the day & a nutrition tip. The workout will include:

  • Full workout details, including the specific sets & reps for each exercise
  • Links to video demonstrations of each exercise, so you’ll feel confident knowing exactly what to do
  • Print-ready workout, to make it easy to take each workout to the gym or wherever you workout

Each workout is designed to take just 30-45 to complete, so you knock out the workout quickly & get back to your busy life. And you can start improving your nutrition immediately, by taking action with the nutrition tips.

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
