Do you really want to know the secret to losing belly fat? There are many misconceptions on the best way to lose belly fat. If you are doing 500 crunches a day and oblique twists thinking that it will shrink your waist, please stop. Crunches will strengthen your stomach muscles, but won’t burn the belly fat that covers your abs. You’re wasting time & effort by doing 500 daily crunches.

So what is the secret? Here are the 5 best and simple natural ways to lose your belly fat:

1. Eat Healthy

You know there is a saying that “Abs are made in the kitchen”. You can exercise all day long for 3 hours running on the treadmill and lifting weights, but if you eat junk food all day long, you won’t lose your belly fat. Stop eating processed food. Start eating healthy and well balanced meals.

2. Eat FrequentlyYou do not have to starve yourself to lose your belly fat. Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day to boost up your metabolism.

Here’s a sample meal plan:

Morning Breakfast: Oatmeal with Berries

Mid-morning Snack: 20 almonds with Yogurt

Lunch: Lean Protein with brownrice or quinoa and a big salad with low fat dressing

Afternoon Snack: Veggie Juice or Veggie snacks

Dinner: Lean protein with brown rice or whole grain pasta and a big healthy salad

3. Weight Training

If you are a woman thinking that weight training will make you look like the big hulk then you got it wrong. In fact, weight training will tone your body and build lean muscle mass, which will burn more fat. Don’t be afraid to lift weights. Weight training will not only define your physique, but it will increase your strength. Strong is SEXY! Razor Fitness in Richmond has over 200+ weight training equipment and a large free weights area.

4. Aerobics

Don’t forget to add cardio into your fitness routine. Cardio will burn overall body fat, which will eventually burn belly fat.

5. Stay Motivated

Looking at your belly in the mirror will not magically make the fat disappear. Instead of looking at yourself in the mirror. DO THE EXERCISES, Stay motivated.

Keep a training and food diary where you log the exercises you did, what you ate and also write down how you feel before and after the exercises. Measure, weigh youself and take progress pictures every 2 weeks. This will keep you focused, determined and don’t give up.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” -Thomas Edison

Tips on how to get started
· Get a partner, team mates or do the challenge individually
· Keep Track of your attendance by filling out the “4 week wellness tracking sheet” with our Razor Representative.
· Keep Track of your personal progress by starting a fitness journal and write down your own exercise program how much sets, reps did you do, what type of exercise and also include your nutrition.
(Optional, but recommended: Depending on your goals. Weigh and measure yourself.)

MERLYN

Administration/Membership Coordinator

Born in Fiji, raised in Vanvouver BC, Merlyn has received many accolades regarding her dance performances. She never expected her passion for dance to become sought out entertainment for Indian functions and festivals. Perhaps it was her obsession of dance that is the secret of her success.
Merlyn has been dancing on stage for the past fifteen years but truly started dancing when she was eight years old at home and gatherings. Influenced by the great Bollywood icon, Helen, Sridevi and other Bollywood stars of the 70s and 80s, Merlyn started mimicking their moves and perfected their dance sequences from their films. Dancing became a part of Merlyn’s daily life. The popularity of Merlyn’s performances spread and she was in demand to perform at local South Asian events. Still with no formal training, Merlyn began teaching and choreographing not only for herself, but for members in her community as well. Merlyn Began teaching herself all forms of dance; Bollywood Style (Filmi and a variety of Indian Classical dance forms such as Bharata Natyam and Tandav), Post Modern, Bhangra, Hip-hop, Belly Dancing, Salsa and Jazz. Ultimately diversity in learning a surplus of dance forms had given Merlyn a multifaceted style of Bollywood Dancing. Through her active involvement in charity shows, dance contests and festivals, Merlyn was acknowledged by the India based dance show Boogie Woogie. She was offered a judge position for the Vancouver auditions with the finals held in Toronto.
