plateaus sucks
Especially when you’re working hard in the gym and in the kitchen to make sure you’re doing all the right things to lose fat. You workout a few times a week, right? You’re eating healthy, right? You’re doing your cardio, right? What more can you do?
Oftentimes, all you are a few simple tweaks and you’ll be back on track, shedding fat, and getting your six pack. Get back to the basics and jump-start your fat loss this season with our ten tips, all of which are guaranteed to work. Within a few weeks, you’ll start seeing more definition in your arms and midsection without sacrificing the gains in the weight room.
1) DROP YOUR CALORIE INTAKE BY 500
diet
To slash fat, you must maintain a caloric deficit: you consume fewer calories than you burn per day. Yet, often, we underestimate how much we intake and overestimate how much we use.
Instead, keep a food journal for 3 to 4 days and track exactly how many calories you’re eating and drinking. Then, gently reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories per day to boost your fat loss. Measure your body fat every few weeks with fat calipers to make sure you’re moving the right direction.
2) ADD ONE EXTRA DAY OF HIIT CARDIO

If your fat loss is stalling, ditch the long jog on a treadmill and start doing intense intervals. High-intensity interval workouts burn far more fat than steady-state exercise.
Add one extra day of pure HIIT training: use a total-body circuit with goblet squats, rows, push presses, and pushups, and do them each for 30 seconds and rest for 30 more seconds before moving to the next exercise. Instead of a basic sprint interval, you’ll hammer your entire body, further boosting your metabolism. As a finisher, use an airdyne bike, stationary rowing machine, weighted sled, etc. and do max-effort intervals, 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off.
