How to minimize the most stubborn fat areas on the body often comes down to a combination of overall fat loss, strength training, healthy lifestyle habits and body sculpting. Where your body stores fat is influenced by factors including genetics, age, hormones and body composition, which is why areas such as the upper arms, stomach, chin, thighs and buttocks can be particularly difficult to change. While you can’t choose exactly where your body loses fat first, there are ways to improve your overall body composition and target the appearance of these stubborn areas.
Upper Arms
Having untoned, jiggly underarms can be both a pet-peeve and a reason to trigger insecurities. It’s especially obvious in the summer with tank-top and sleeveless clothing. Unfortunately, the excess stubborn fat can build-up as a person ages, only to gradually get worse if not addressed. The skin naturally loses its elasticity as you age, and the body fat tends to increase due to less muscle. Plus, if you don’t work out regularly, this can be a serious problem. If you want to lose upper arm fat, start incorporating simple arm toning exercises, focusing on the triceps, along with making dietary changes, such as balanced diet and regular exercises.
Around the Stomach
The stomach and waist are common areas for the body to store excess fat. Genetics, age, hormones, overall body composition and lifestyle can all influence where fat accumulates. While you can’t specifically target stomach fat through diet or exercise alone, maintaining a balanced diet and staying active can help reduce overall body fat and improve the appearance of your waistline.
Under the Chin
Your face is the first thing you see in the mirror every day, so it’s no surprise the heightened scrutiny can cause undue stress! A “double chin” is the most common issue facing both men and women. Though having one generally is harmless, it can make people feel insecure. As you age, your skin will naturally sag as it loses collagen. However, if you become proactive and have a good skincare routine (the earlier you start the better!!!) it will help mitigate sagging and the development of a double chin.
Applying the appropriate SPF when in the sun, using prescription retinol, drinking primarily water and little to no sugary drinks and alcohol and a healthy diet will help fight the signs of premature aging and sagging skin around your jawline.
Thighs and Bottom
Eating excess carbs and processed foods can often lead to the storage of stubborn fat in these areas. Moreover, your age and hormones also play a role in storing stubborn fat around the lower part of your body. You can try exercises such as planks, squats, and side lunges to strengthen and tone the muscles in these areas. Moreover, working on your diet can also make a big difference in reducing stubborn fat not only in your lower body but all throughout your body.
When Stubborn Areas Don’t Respond to Diet and Exercise
Stubborn areas can be frustrating, especially when you’re already exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet. While lifestyle changes are the foundation for reducing overall body fat, they don’t allow you to choose exactly where your body changes first.
For areas such as the stomach, waist, thighs, buttocks and upper arms, TushToners body sculpting provides another option for targeting specific areas and improving body contour.
Whether you prefer to work on your goals at home or schedule a professional session, TushToners gives you both options.
