Disclaimer: Please remember that we cannot spot reduce fat, meaning we can’t choose the areas on our body where we lose fat. However to get fat loss results I recommend the following:
1. Being in calorie deficit
2. Cardio/ HIIT workout (I often call these Fat Loss/Burn workouts on my channel)
3. Resistance training and specific muscle targeted workouts. To strengthen and develop specific muscles.
I have hundreds of other home workouts available on my channel, so you can pick and choose which workouts you want to do, to not only make you build a strong body, but also feel amazing.
Please remember every body is different and we all progress at different rates. The fact that you have shown up and completed this workout is incredible. You should be very proud of yourself for taking the steps to improve not only your physical, but also your mental health.
The key to achieving your fitness and health goals is consistency and healthy lifestyle changes, without restriction. I don’t believe in crazy fad diets. Simply eat nutritious food, move your body, smile and enjoy the journey! Love Lilly

Goed, regte praatjies. As jy op soek is na resultate in jou kern en jy het al hierdie crunches, al hierdie oefensessies gedoen, en dit werk net nie, dit is die oefensessie vir jou. Dit is ‘n diep kern aktivering Pilates, net 8 minute lank. Ek kan waarborg jy gaan die mees ongelooflike brand voel. Eerlik, dit is ‘n belofte, en as jy konsekwent hierby hou, gaan jy so ‘n verskil in jou krag en jou resultate opmerk . So laat weet my hoe jy aangaan in die kommentaar hieronder. Verbind vir 14 dae en jy kan selfs elke dag dophou hoe jy aangaan en ander mense in die gemeenskap sal inspring, jou aanmoedig, moenie moed opgee nie. Goed ouens. Groot nuus vandag. Ja. Vandag is die begin van ons tot 75% afslag op Swart Vrydag-uitverkoping op alles, letterlik alles LEAN, insluitend die mat waaraan ek nou gaan uitwerk, wat terloops, daardie besparing massief is. Jy wil dit nie misloop nie. Sodra sommige van hierdie produkte uitverkoop is, is hulle weg. Moet dus nie uitmis nie. Ons het ook ons ​​topverkoper LEAN Greens. As jy sukkel met opgeblasenheid, is hierdie produk ‘n spelwisselaar en ons kollageen vir gloeiende vel, alles, die skakels hieronder, moet dit nie mis nie en ja, kom ons doen dit. Goed, so die belangrikste ding wanneer dit by diepkernaktivering kom, is om jou bekkenkanting te bemeester. Dan van daar af gaan dit ‘n bietjie makliker word. So ek sal jou op die mat afbring en jou wys. Kom nou al die pad af in lieg. Buig jou knieë en dan gaan ek jou kry om jou rug plat te maak deur jou bekken agtertoe te kantel. Maak seker dat letterlik as jy ‘n stuk papier daar gehad het, dit nie uitgetrek kon word nie. Goed. Van hier af is jou naeltjie terug en af ​​na jou ruggraat, en dan is jou ribbekas uitasem af. Jou kern is vasgemaak. Van hier af, vir die eerste oefening, gaan jy op ‘n enkelbeen-tafelblad kom, 90 grade by die knieë en die heupe, dit met die ander been weerspieël, en dan jou pad boontoe skil in ‘n knars. Jou arms is na die lug. Jy gaan, gaan reguit die teenoorgestelde arm tot been met beheer. Hou jou oog vorentoe kyk, asem uit, maak reguit, asem in. Nadeel. Wonderlik. Hou jou onderrug plat in die matte. Ongelooflike werk. Ons het net 10 sekondes oor hier. Dan gaan ons dit ‘n bietjie moeiliker maak. Wonderlik. Van hier af gaan ons net die beweging versnel en dit aan die beweeg hou. Goed. Maar probeer, as jy kan, die teenoorgestelde hand bereik, dan na die skeen. Binne vyf sekondes het ons ‘n houvas. Goed. Bene is op by 90. Arms is op na die lug. Hou daardie onderrug plat. Net vyf sekondes oor. Wonderlik. Van hier af, reik jou hande na jou enkels. Reguit die arms en bene. Maak seker dat jou onderrug plat in die mat bly. Goed. As jou nek seer is, kan jy jou kop laat sak. Indien nie, hou daardie oogblik vorentoe om jou nek te beskerm. Goed. Reguit die arms en die bene, en ons gaan net met ‘n gefladder. 20 sekondes. Ondersteun jou kop as jy die bene hoër moet lig, as jy voel dat jou rug die matte verlaat. Goed, ons het tien sekondes vashou. Hou nou daardie bene mooi en sterk. Jy het die struktuur opgemerk. 32ste. Eerste skuif 20 sekondes. Tweedens, beweeg. 10 sekondes. Hou vas. Goed, laer van daar af. Alles reg. Ons gaan onsself nou heeltemal in ‘n verknorsing bring. Reik daardie vingerpunte af na die tone, en van hier af gaan jy net die arms op en af ​​pomp. Pilates honderde, maak seker dat die onderrug plat is. Jou oogkyk is vorentoe, en jou ken na jou bors. Goed, lig daardie bene op. Nou 20 sekondes. In ‘n meer gevorderde Pilates, honderde. As jy die bene wil reguit trek, haal asem vir vyf in. Asem uit vir vyf. Goed. Tien sekondes. Hou vas. Jy kan dit doen. Ondersteun die nek. Sjoe. Hou daardie lae rug-flak. Hou daardie ribbekas af. Wonderlik. Die linkerknie is gebuig. Die regterbeen is reguit. Jou linkerhand is onder langs jou sy. Al die pad op. Crunch oor en weer terug af. Jy gaan nou daardie linkerbeenknars insweef en reguit maak. Goed. Nou, onthou die heeltyd, al het ons ‘n bietjie rotasie hier, bly jou laerug so ingeprent as moontlik, so plat as moontlik. Goed. Nou gaan jy so hoog kom as wat jy kan. Elmboog tot teenoorgestelde knie. Reik daardie hand en ontmoet dit dan met die ander. Hou, hou, hou, hou, hou, hou, hou. Goed. Reguit af. Jy gaan nou die regterknie buig. Linkerbeen as reguit. Kom op en weer af. Ons is amper daar. Goed. Beweeg jou regterbeen. Jy gaan in en oor elmboog tot teenoorgestelde knie knars en dan reguit maak. Asem uit as jy opkom. Asem in terwyl jy sak. Goed. Elmboog tot teenoorgestelde knie. Reik daardie hand so ver as wat jy kan. Lig die ander op. Hou vas, hou vas. Wonderlik. Werk reguit in Pilates in. Skêr. Jou linkerknie kom in jou bors. Regterbeen gaan sweefpomp in een, twee, en verander kante. Nou is dit normaal vir jou nek. Om ‘n bietjie spanning hier te voel. Maak seker dat jou ken teen jou bors vasgesteek is asof jy ‘n stukkie vrugte vashou. Goed. Nou gaan ons ‘n vlak opgaan om die been reguit te maak. Trek een, twee in en verander bene heeltemal op. Hande onder jou lae rug. Laer so ver as wat jy kan sonder daardie lae rug. Verlaat die mat vashou. Ons kan dit doen. Ongelooflik. Steek jou arms op en oor jou kop. Een sterk beweging op. Jy gaan nou jou voete bymekaar vat, jou knieë uitmekaar, terugrol na waar jy voel hoe jou kern inskop, en opkom tot waar jy regtig voel hoe daardie kern inskop. Neem daardie arms voor uit. Volg jou hand met jou oog. Oog oë as jy oop en toe maak. Goed, ons gaan hier hou. Hou vas waar jy regtig voel dat daardie oproep inskop. Ontspan jou skouers. Jy is nou amper daar, kom al die pad op. Reguit jou bene voor jou. Ons gaan nou verlaag tot ‘n telling van agt. Kom mooi en beklemtoon, jy is ‘n marionet aan ‘n toutjie. Kantel daardie pelvis terug. 8, 7, 6, 5, halfpad, 4, 3, 2, 1. Beweeg terug op en weer, stadig af. Kantel agtertoe in AC-vorm. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Heelpad op. Goed. Laat sak halfpad af en pols dit. Klein klein bewegings. Dit is jou laaste oefening. Komaan. Ons is amper deur hierdie uitdaging. Ons kan dit vyf sekondes doen. Goed. Hou nou tien sekondes vas. Moenie opgee nie. Ontspan daardie skouers. Dan is ons klaar. Ek voel dit ook. Ek bewe ook. Sjoe. O my aarde. Sjoe. Julle, reik net daardie arms op en oor jou kop. Reik jou tone so ver as moontlik van jou vingerpunte af. Neem ‘n paar baie lekker, kalm, diep asem in deur jou neus, uit deur jou mond. Waardeer hoe moeilik dit was. 8 minute, en jy het dit absoluut verpletter. En moenie vergeet nie, hierdie is net ‘n klein voorsmakie van my vollengte gidse, my gestruktureerde gidse om jou 8 weke lank in die beste vorm van jou lewe te kry. Die LEAN-transformasiemetode, dit is hieronder. Die oefensessies is ‘n vlak hoër. Gaan nie lieg nie, maar ek weet jy kan dit doen. Goed? Swaai jouself heeltemal op in sit en jy het dit gemaak. Welgedaan, ouens. Ek is so trots op jou. Ek is trots op myself. Dit was moeilik. Welgedaan ouens.
