VERY IMPORTANT! UADD ALERT

The Centre for Disease and Fat Control released a report on Thursday stating that the incidence of UADD (Under Arm Dingle Dangle) has increased dramatically for women aged 40 and over due to lack of activity and poor nutrition. The CDFC warns that continued sedentary living and excessive caloric intake could lead to an UADD epidemic eventually leading to a full blown pandemic of BA (Bingo Arms) in women aged 40 and over.

The CDFC recommends that women over 20 years of age consider implementing regular cardiovascular exercise, strength training and sensible nutrition into their lives immediately to avoid being another statistic in this growing health crisis.

The Gunt Phenomenon

When my friend Theresa first introduced me to the term “Gunt” I was shocked that I had been out of the so-called loop for so long. I quickly began to realize how crucial this term was for being able to accurately describe the way a woman’s body can take shape below the belt and above the hooha. This is often more of an issue for women who have had kids.
The mission of this particular post is to help ensure you don’t develop one and if you have a gunt, to help you get rid of it and minimize its appearance in the meantime.

So first, let’s determine if you have a gunt. Stand sideways and look in the mirror. Do you see a bulge below your waistline and above your precious place? If not, yahoo! But you’re still not off the hook. You still need to do preventative exercises to ensure you don’t develop one.
If you do see a bulge, we need to immediately work on minimizing the appearance of your gunt.

Rule #1 – do not wear a belt that pinches your waist.
Rule #2 – avoid all high waisted pants.
Rule #3 – you MUST start sucking your stomach in and doing a kegel throughout your day.
Rule #4 – you should try to choose tops that drape below the waist and are loose fitting for the time being

So the following exercises are completely imperative if you want to minimize your gunt or avoid developing one in the future. You can complete my fave anti-gunt exercises 2-3 times per week on top of creating a calorie deficit and getting a few cardio sessions in each week.

Exercise #1-
Lie on your back with your legs straight up in the air. Roll up a hand towel and place it between your knees. Do a kegel and squeeze the towel. Then slightly lift your tailbone off the floor and suck in your gunt. Hold and lift your chest up with your chin off your chest and elbows wide. Keep holding until your can’t anymore. Repeat 2-3 times working to fatigue each time.

Exercise #2 –
Place your hands and knees on the floor with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keeping your back almost flat suck your belly button in hollowing out your gunt area. Release and repeat 10-15 more times making sure you feel this deep inside your core.

Exercise #3 –
Stand in front of the mirror and relax your core muscles. Now imagine someone just zipped a corset around your waist and shrink your waist in exhaling all the air out of your stomach. Do a kegel and hold for as long as you can hold your breath. You should see your gunt disappear and/or your waist shrink.

Interview with Belly Fat

So many people come to me and say while grabbing their belly fat, "I just want to get rid of this". Yet when I tell people what they have to do and design a program and work on nutrition and lifestyle choices, many clients hit roadblocks in their quest to melt away their bellies. It's almost like they aren't in control of their choices, like a part of them is set on sabotaging themselves. It's almost like their belly fat has a mind of its own and a life of its own constantly tempting its host to continue making choices that will ensure its continued existence. So if belly fat has a mind of its own and a stake in continuing to exist, I asked myself "What would a belly say if it had a voice" and this is what I came up with based on my years of experience in trying to annihilate many bellies.

Question:
What is the meaning of life?
Belly Answer:
I'm too busy sitting on the couch and watching TV or sitting at a computer to have time to think about the meaning of life.

Question:
How did you come to exist?
Belly Answer:
My owner feel asleep at the wheel and that was my 'in'. I saw that she was starting to work too much, eat too much, and then BAM! She had a nasty breakup and that's when I started to realize I could take over.

Question:
What's your dirtiest little secret?
Belly Answer:
I will probably eventually be part of my owner dying early...I've been linked to increased rates of a variety of cancers and heart disease but shhhh...don't tell anyone.

Question:
What's the fatest way to kill you?
Belly Answer:
It's actually really simple. I'm surprised I've lasted this long. All my owner has to do is eat less and move more. But I just keep growing. Yay for me!!!

Question:
If you were on your death bed, what would you have to say to the world?
Belly Answer:
I will never actually die because once my owner has created a fat cell, it never dissapears. You may think you've killed me but it's easy for me to reappear. HA HA HA!
