Do you suffer from “regional” fat storage? You know, “problem
area” fat deposits — like on your hips, butt, thighs, stomach,
“love handles”, or god forbid, the dreaded “man boobs”?
Let me guess, every trainer you’ve talked to has told you the
same thing:
“It’s not possible to ‘spot reduce’. You lose fat over your entire
body and you can’t ‘pick and choose’ where you lose it from.”
Right?
WRONG!
The problem is that most people don’t understand the CAUSES
of regional fat storage, and thus can’t provide you with a solution.
Fortunately, I DO know both — the causes AND the solutions,
and I’ve gotta give credit to one of my best friends and NY trainer
John Romaniello.
Problem Area: “love handles”
Hormone to Blame: Insulin
Solution Hormone: IGF-1
How to stimulate IGF-1 release: “Dynamic” Training
Problem Area: hips, butt, thighs and/or “man boobs”
Hormone to Blame: Estrogen
Solution Hormone: Testosterone
How to stimulate Testosterone release: “Density” Training
Problem Area: “belly/stomach”
Hormone to Blame: Cortisol
Solution Hormone: Growth Hormone
How to stimulate IGF-1 release: “Lactic Acid” Training
Fact is, you can fight off “problem area” hormones by
naturally producing more combative hormones via specific
types of training and exercise.
