HOW TO “RECOMP,” BURN “STUBBORN FAT FASTER,” AND MORE . . .

Let’s talk about body recomposition. The holy grail of fitness: losing fat and building muscle at the same time. Yes, it’s possible. No, it doesn’t require magic. Just strategy, consistency, and patience.

🔥 What is Recomping?

"Recomp" means you're restructuring your body. Dropping fat while building lean muscle.

The scale might not change much, but your body will look and feel completely different.

This is especially effective if:

• You're newer to strength training

• You’ve taken a break and are getting back to it

• You’ve been under-eating and overdoing cardio

  
  

💥 How to Burn “Stubborn” Fat Faster

Let’s be real. There’s no such thing as “spot fat reduction,” but there ways to target stubborn fat through smart training and nutrition:

1. Lift Weights. Heavy Ones. Muscle increases your metabolism and tightens your shape. Focus on compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows).

2. Increase Protein Intake. Aim for 0.8–1g of protein per pound of body weight. It supports recovery, keeps you full, and protects muscle while you burn fat.

3. Sprint Intervals (SIT). Short bursts of intense effort (like air bike or row sprints) are more effective than long, slow cardio for torching fat.

4. Dial in Your Macros. Eat enough to fuel strength and muscle but stay in a slight deficit to encourage fat loss. No starvation needed.

5. Track Progress Beyond the Scale. Use measurements, photos, and tools like the InBody scan to monitor changes in fat and muscle—not just weight.

   
   

✨ The Secret? It’s Consistency.

You don’t need to be perfect. Just consistent. Small daily wins with your workouts, protein, and mindset add up.
