How can you lose the last 5-10 pounds? It really takes focus on your nutrition and meal planning. You additionally have to build a work out program complete with weight training, flexibility, and interval training. I suggest HIIT training. Many people are successful at losing a good amount of weight when they start their weight loss journey. If you have ever watch The Biggest Loser with Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper. You have seen this happen. Many will get results as soon as you start scheduling and putting focus on your training and diet. But typically, when it comes down to fine tuning your weight loss, leaning out, developing a 6 pack, it takes a lot of focus and adjustments on your schedule. I am an ACE personal trainer as well as certified in AFAA primary group exercise. I have been training people for group exercise for 20 years. Additionally I work for fitness celebrity Chalene Johnson as a presenter for Turbo Kick, PiYo, Hip Hop Hustle and All-Star Presenter Camp.
