Struggling to shift your belly fat? You may be older and Wiser but no need to be Wider! Sit ups, crunches alone won’t shift the fat. As we age, the total amount of energy (that’s calories your body burns) when you’re resting decreases. We need to shake up our metabolism. The right combination of exercises and diet will help reduce body fat. As you get older, how efficiently you work out begins to matter more than ever. Consider lifestyle factors, kids, work life. Naturally our metabolism slows down. Fat bellies are not just because of stored fat, our intestinal track can accumulate toxins and waste products from a diet of processed and refined foods. When our diet is deficient in fibre, waste products won't be eliminated from the GI track as intended by nature. • AVOID PROCESSED FOODS • INCREASE FIBRE • INCREASE LEAN PROTEIN • LIMIT SUGAR • EXERCISE - 3-5 times weekly 90% of body fat is subcutaneous, a layer just beneath the skin. The remaining 10% — called visceral or intra-abdominal fat — lies out of reach, beneath the firm abdominal wall.

Vegetarian Protein Sources We all know Meat provides protein, but so do beans, 🥚 eggs, nuts, yogurt and even broccoli 🥦 🥜 Nuts and seeds (4-10 grams per 1 ounce serving): walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, sunflower seeds, almond butter, hemp, chia and flax seeds. You can get plenty of protein without eating meat.

Weight-bearing exercise is especially good because it improves #bonedensity reducing the chances of #osteoporosis

As a fitness professional I am very active. If you have a big natural chest, finding a good fitting sports bra, that fits well, keeps your boobs in place and looks good can be quite a challenge.
My biggest problem is running or high impact exercise. I tend to wear 2 sports bras which isn’t ideal in the heat. I don’t understand why sports bra designers appear only to consider the younger generation with perky breasts
A good sports bra might feel tight in the changing room, but keeping your chest secure and reducing bounce helps alleviate back and breast pain. Runners World
Victoria Secret - they look good, mould nicely around the boobs, great when I’m teaching Lagree or Pilates with no impact
Shock Absorber bras squeeze your boobs in and make them feel secure while running but my boobs are still bouncing.
Freya - Not great looking but keeps the boobs in place.
Marks and Spencer - High Impact bra, new range I only bought it last week. Fits nicely and comfortable, I like the front zip, I was disappointed as it certainly isn’t high impact, my boobs were bouncing everywhere. More suited to low impact exercise or just wearing casually.
Oysho - love this brand for fitness gear, bras look nice but not sutured to high impact
I would really appreciate any recommendations or suggestions. I’m not a young 25 year old, the anatomy is dropping!
