3. Increase the intensity of your exercisesIt is normal to reach the ceiling of weight loss, if you have been following the same training for long. A simple way to lose those last pounds, is to increase the intensity of your workout. For example you might normally do four sets of 30 crunches, two minutes of rest and then go on with your leg raises. Instead perform the exercises quickly after one another. Because you are pushing the limits of your body, you stimulate muscle building that has grown stagnant.
4. Eat more protein
The fourth way to lose the last pounds, is to consume more protein. It is important to know that the leaner you are, the lower your overall caloric intake is, the more protein you need. Namely proteins prevent muscle loss and promote the recovery of your body. In addition, your body requires two times more energy to digest proteins than it does for digesting fats or carbohydrates. Proteins are in tofu, eggs, fish, chicken, lean pork or beef, nuts, beans and dairy products.
5. Combine sprints with cardio training
Do you always practice the same old cardio workout? Consider how you can adjust your routine. You can interrupt your cardio workout with around five to eight interval sprints with a rest period of 90 seconds. Close with another 15 minutes of moderate cardio training. This allows you kill two birds with one stone. You stimulate your metabolism with interval training and with cardio workouts your body uses fat as fuel.
