A Nutrition Plan That Reduces Overall Body Fat
Sometimes the internet does share information that’s true. If you are 100 lbs overweight the good news is you already have “abs”, but seeing them is a result of reducing overall body fat.
If you are thicker around the mid-section training abs is NOT going to reveal them, it will just build endurance and strength of that muscle. It is not what everyone wants to hear all the time but you will speed up your results if you shift the time spent on abs, to meal prepping and getting your nutrition on point. You are what you eat and your body/energy/moods will display that.

Blending Short Intense Bursts of Cardio with Functional Strength Training
Man, oh man is cardio every misunderstood in this industry. It is sad to us how many men/women think they need to “add in more cardio” in order to get results. YES, you need to burn more calories than you are consuming to burn off fat, but you can do it so much more efficiently by combining total body strength training and high intensity intervals.
At NTC this is exactly how we training our clients. All of our workouts contain strength training, and intense intervals that will tone/build your muscles & help you to increase your metabolism which means more fat being burned during and after your workouts. No more running on the treadmill for an hour. Would it be nice to get the same results in 15 minutes?

G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S
No one wants to hear it but we are all built differently and a TON depends on genetics. Do certain exercises target specific areas? YES, but you cannot spot reduce when it comes to fat loss. When you start a nutrition plan that is set to fat loss your body will remove it from wherever it likes. So the question at times becomes how lean do you actually have to get to see your abs, and is that sustainable?
It is super important in life to lead with balance (at least that’s what we believe). Your body will 100% tell you whether or not your decisions are healthy or not. If you are carrying excess weight there must be an imbalance of sorts; either via lifestyle, stress or hormonal.
If you focus on healthy foods and exercise that challenges you the body you desire will one day be yours, and you won’t have to go searching for another diet plan again.
Work smarter, not harder.
