How do I get rid of my stomach fat?

Photo from my wonderful weekend away with my girls

I got asked this question last week and I know it's probably something which a few of you have been thinking too.

I thought about it back in 2012 when I took up Pilates as well.

Because I thought that Pilates would give me the flat stomach which I craved.

Not the case but instead I fell in love with Pilates and here I am teaching it 13 years later.

You see I was after that one exercise which I could do to get rid of my stomach.

If I only knew what it was then I would do it everyday until it was gone.

My motivation was high and there was nothing more I wanted than to have a flat stomach.

Fast forward and I'm here to tell you that there's not just one exercise which will get rid of your stomach for you.

For women who I coach who come to me I use a method which combines exercise, nutrition and body image work, to get achievable and sustainable results that they want.

When we use this method not only do you get fitter, healthier and stronger but how you feel about your body changes too.

So instead of thinking about that one bit of your body which you want to change/ get rid off/ cut off, you can actually look at a photo of yourself and not start picking yourself apart straight away.

Taking a whole body and mind approach to it really helps, it's a three pronged approach and one which works really well at achieving peace with your body, whilst also making it healthier too.

Throw in peri-menopause and a whole host of hormones and you could be excused to think that things get really hard, those stubborn bits get even more stubborn but in fact that's where the approach really comes into its own.

Doubling down on healthy habits, looking after yourself, having guidance around creating an exercise program which works for you and bespoke nutrition advice really is a game changer - even when the game has been the same for 20 years!
