If you have been on some sort of “last 10 pounds to lose” program, it’s likely included exercise. You are probably doing cardio like crazy. Well, you should be. If you have not been doing cardio, now is the time to start. If you have been, then now’s the time to kick it up a notch. The last 10 pounds to lose is as easy as increasing your output. Doubling your cardio to 6 times per week, or if you’ve already been doing that, then do a second cardio session in the evening for a twice a day cardio workout. Wow, that will really kick things into gear. One caveat: if you increase your output of exercise, you may also need to increase your calorie consumption a bit to match your bodies’ new need for food. Dropping too low in calories may throw your body into starvation mode. You do not want to reduce calories too much lower than 10% to 15% lower than what you require to maintain your weight. An increase in exercise to help with the last 10 pounds to lose may eventually require an increase in calories. IF that is the case, increase your protein. Increasing protein increases thermogenics at the same time that it does not increase any blood sugar fluctuations. If you do a second session of cardio for 400 to 700 more calories burned per day, look at adding two to three ounces of protein per meal to compensate for it.
It is critical to do weight bearing exercises while on a fat loss program. Just doing cardio may turn your body into a muscle burning machine which is exactly the opposite of what you want. Doing weight bearing exercise, or bodybuilding while your on your fat burning program will help you increase your chance of not only keeping your muscle, but building more fat burning muscle to aid in your goals. Muscle is much more pleasing to look at than fat, and the last 10 pounds to lose should be fat, not muscle. Consider replacing 10 pounds of fat with 10 pounds of muscle. Stay the same weight, just drop some inches.
Lift weights, muscle mass helps burn calories which will help you lose fat. Dont worry about getting buff because girls don't have as much testosterone as men do. Testosterone is what causes them to become muscular and drop their voices. Have a weekly schedule (ie: Monday legs, tuesday arms, Wednesday shoulders, thursday back, Friday chest, saturday abs, etc) make sure to eat healthy, but if you work out you won't have to worry as much about diet. It's impossible to target fat loss so don't try to only do abs and expect your stomach to look better
Eat less, excercise at least 5 days a week (cardio3-5, weight training2-3 days). Try some fat burners too like spicy food, caffein etc...
..maybe hydroxycut if you;re feeling lazy
