Certified fitness trainer Olivia Perry thinks combining the appropriate exercises with a low-carb diet can maximise your results. “You want a mix of strength and cardio to maximise fat loss while preserving muscle,” she says.
1. Training in Strength
“Lifting weights changes everything,” Olivia explains. Strength training increases lean muscle, so raising metabolism. Her favourite moves include deadlifts, squats, and push-ups. “Look for three sessions a week, emphasising compound motions.”
2. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Olivia loves HIIT sessions for fast calorie burning. She advises alternately 30 seconds of strong work, akin to sprinting, and 30 seconds of recuperation. HIIT for just twenty minutes will leave you feeling successful.
3. Flexibility and Recovery
“Don’t skip yoga or stretching,” Olivia says. Exercises in flexibility help to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Twice a week she usually includes yoga in her regimen. “It’s also a terrific way to de-stress,” she says.
Following Olivia’s professional counsel, keeping active on a low-carb diet turns out to be both sensible and fun. She advises “Listen to your body and find what works for you”.
