Two Total Gym Trouble Tone Zone Workouts
Did you ever think to yourself, where on earth did that fat come from? Did it happen overnight? How the heck does it go away? We’re talking about that unwanted, unnecessary fat that seemed to appear overnight in the trouble zone areas!
We all have our own personal trouble zone spots. A trouble zone is an area of our body where extra fat deposits build up which can leave us feeling self-conscious and frustrated. The best way to tackle the problem is with diet and exercise. It is difficult to spot-reduce fat in specific areas, however it is possible to build up the muscle underneath the skin to tighten, tone and reduce the fat for a better appearance. This is done with a workout that focuses on specific movements that target the trouble zone areas.
Some trouble zone areas of the body are commonly known as arm flab (triceps), legs rubbing (inner thighs), sagging butt (glutes) and pudge belly (abs). If one of these is your biggest enemy, don’t give up and let it get the best of you; with a little patience, hard work and dedication – along with diet and exercise – you can kiss that stubborn fat good-bye!
This workout will blast that unwanted fat off the trouble zones and tone up the area by replacing the fat with muscle. Be patient; just as it didn’t appear overnight, it won’t disappear overnight. This workout, along with following a clean diet, will deliver the results efficiently and effectively.
The Trouble Tone Zone Prescription
Do this workout two to three times a week along with following a clean diet and doing cardio exercises to burn off extra calories.
Perform each Trouble Tone Zone exercise 12-15 times, then transition directly to the next exercise with little to no rest. Rest once the entire workout circuit has been completed.
Cycle through this continuous workout circuit for two to three sets.
• For an extra challenge, add in a minute of cardio exercises between the Trouble Tone Zone exercises, then repeat from the top.
• Increase the incline for an added challenge and to change the workout slightly.
