    • Hi there. Thanks for following me. In regards to your question, if you want to build lean muscle mass you have got to do 3 things , Resistance, Diet and Rest (RDR).

      Resistance: do a lot of strength training and weights. For example: Squats with weights, lunges with weights, deadlifts, push ups, arm exercises with weights, etc. You’ve got to challenge yourself each time you are doing your workout. Keep your repetitions between 8-12reps, do 3-5sets. The benefits of doing resistance training is that it burn more calories coz you are building and strengthening your muscles up. It’s not just that, it’s the after-burn effect too where you will still burn calories at rest even after 24hrs.

      Below are examples of high intensity that will help you burn fat and build muscles at the same time.

      Warm up
      10-15min cardio- jog and sprint
      Squats with weights 12×3 sets
      Skip 30secs
      Rest 1-2min
      Lunges with weights 12×3 sets
      Skip 30secs
      Rest 1-2min
      Tummy tucks 12x3sets
      Skip 30 secs
      Rest 1-2min
      Bicycle crunches 12x3sets
      Skip 30 secs
      Rest 1-2min
      Plank 20secs x 3
      Cool down and Stretch
      Finish

      ***You can add arm exercises too.

      You also need to aim for at least 30mins-1hr workout per day for about 4x a week if you are really serious about losing weight and you also have to target at least to burn 300-500kcals on each session.

      Diet: To ensure that you are able to perform well during each workout session, you need to eat healthy. After your workout ensure that ur having enough carbs and protein as well. Try to eat a small post workout snack within 30mins after your workout (the magic window where it won’t be stored in your body). Make sure you are eating a balanced diet too. Eat a lot of fruits and veggies, plus drink a lot of water. You can read more about this at the ‘Diet Habit’ section. You can also check out #kaysnutritiontips hash tag at Instagram, where I posted a lot of information regarding nutrition. You can find info on foods that will increase your metabolism there.

      In order to lose weight your calories in needs to be less than calories out. The best way is to pick foods that have fewer calories but high in nutrition. You can also find this info at #kaysnutritiontips hash tag as well.

      Rest: After your workout session, especially after doing resistance or strength training you need to rest. Rest is very important in order for your muscles to repair itself and grow. Plus if you don’t give it time to recover, you won’t be able to perform your best at your next session. Get at least 7-8hrs sleep for adults.

      My final advise is, try to measure yourself every week (girth measurement) & keep a record. Weighing can be demotivating at times so measuring yourself is more of a much positive approach. Weigh yourself every 2 weeks or once a month.

      Thank you for writing to me. I’m glad you reach out to me and you look like a smart girl too. I’m sure you’ll get your ideal weight soon. Just stay positive and just keep going. The key has always been eating right and exercising. That’s all. Try to set a goal for example 3months or 6months goal. Make sure your goal is realistic and achievable too.

      I wish you all the best and good luck! Let me know how you go and share your progress ok.

      Have a nice day.

      • thank you so much for the tips..i’ll do my very best to achieve my goal! 😉
