Avoid Skinny Fat Syndrome!

SKINNY FAT SYNDROME!!

Let me save you a few thousand bucks and give you a $3000 post.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a Peloton and your goal is to torch stubborn fat and get lean, you might want to put your credit card away.

Here’s why…

A Peloton is great for two things, and two things only:

#1. Helping get sedentary people off the couch.

#2. General cardiovascular fitness.

And contrary to what many people have been led to believe…

Those two things do NOT translate to sustainable fat-loss.

or any other form of long state cardio

Not even close, actually.

Instead, here are the three things you should focus your time and energy on if your goal is to get lean & improve body composition permanently:

#1. Strength Training 3x / Week

This will help you avoid “skinny-fat syndrome” by building size, shape, and hardness across key areas of your body. So when you torch that stubborn fat, you’ll have a masculine, Harder look and feel.

Prioritize large, multi-joint movements like pressing, pulling, squatting, and lunging 80% of the time.

And add in smaller, single joint accessories like bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises 20% of the time.

For the best results, stick to full-body workouts and avoid the old-school “bro” splits.

#2. Managing Calorie & Protein Threshold

This is your primary driver for fat-loss and if done correctly, will allow you to torch that stubborn belly, love handle, and chest fat permanently while enjoying your favourite foods.

While these targets will vary greatly from person to person, here’s a good jumping-off point for most people.

Calories:

Your bodyweight multiplied by 9, 10, or 11. For example, if you weigh 200lbs, your calories will likely land somewhere between 1800 to 2200 / day.

Protein: 0.8-1.0 gram of protein - to your GOAL weight in grams.

Example: if your goal weight is 200lbs then consume 160g grams of protein.

#3. Walking (Not running) 10,000 Steps / Day

Nailing your daily steps provides endless benefits.

Not only is this a great way to burn additional calories while enhancing recovery, but walking 10,000 steps every day is also associated with a profound decrease in all-cause mortality.

In other words…

If you want to live a long and healthy life free from disease and illness, get your steps in.

Deploy these three strategies religiously, meticulously, and consistently, and in a matter of 6 months you’ll be staring at a new person in the mirror.

Life’s short, Optimise it.
