Q & A To ask a question, go to 'members' under the main menu, and submit your query to one of our trainers! Question: What is the quickest way to burn stored fat around the waist line on women? Thanks! Tina Answer: To burn fat around the waistline is a hard task for many people, and we must take into account many influences such as body type, diet, medication, hormones and largely your overall lifestyle. Burning fat is a whole body workout - that is, your body burns fat evenly throughout, it's not possible to make it burn fat from just one particular area. You can assist in decreasing your waistline by putting more focus into that area, with specific abdominal and core exercises to strengthen and tone the area, resulting in a more defined look once the fat starts to decrease. Then assess your workout, your diet and lifestyle and be sure that you are getting an even spread of cardio, weights and abdominal work, combined with a healthy diet and stress free lifestyle. April Logan Personal Trainer Question: Hey guys, Ellie is 4 months old now. I've got 15 fun kilos to lose - feels like I'm back at point zero again, after all those years of training! just wondering how much I can exercise per day without losing milk 'cause I'm her food on legs. Thanks! Kylie Answer: There should be no problems at all with breast feeding and exercise if you take into account several key points: * Some research has suggested a build up of lactic acid in the body after intense exercise can cause the taste of breast milk to change (become more bitter), causing your baby to not feed as well. This is only relevant immediately post exercise (within the first hour or so) as once the lactic acid is moved through the blood stream, the effect diminishes. So, if you do very intense aerobic exercise, you may want to consider timing your baby's breast feeding so that this is not an issue, or expressing mild before exercise to use immediately after.
* Successful breast feeding is very much related to supply and demand and your supply should be perfectly adequate if you are: 1) staying well hydrated - remember to drink water all day long and more if you are exercising 2) eating a healthy, sensible diet with adequate kilojoule intake. Breast feeding mothers need at least an extra 500 calories (2000kJ) per day 3) while you may be keen to lose the added weight from your pregnancy, it is not advisable to 'diet' while you are breast feeding. It is more important to take in needed calories each day to ensure that your milk supply is as high as possible. As everybody responds in slightly different ways to exercise, it is also important to start gradually and monitor any changes that occur in relation to your breastfeeding as you increase your exercise levels. Hope this helps! Amber Kerruish Personal Trainer
