My name is Katrina, I'm 23 and I live in California. This is my blog recording my yoga practice & efforts to get in the best shape possible. It is also a resource for others who are working towards the same things I am.

I have recently begun teaching R.I.P.P.E.D. and other fitness classes. I'm so excited to be sharing my love of fitness and a healthy lifestyle with others!

    “I have been trying to lose the last 5kgs till my goal weight so i have restricted my calorie intake to 1200 and have been exercising for at least 30mins five times a week but the weight doesnt seem to be going anywhere - i feel firmer but i just cant seem to lose these last kilos. Any suggestions??”

    Some people just have a really hard time losing weight. They can eat and workout exactly the same amount as someone else and not have the same results because their body is just different. I’m one of those people who have a hard time seeing results too, so you aren’t alone.

    Since you feel firmer you are likely putting on muscle while you’re losing fat, so your weight stays the same. Don’t rely on a number on the scale.

    I recommend two things:

    Make sure that 1200 calories is your NET calories. Meaning if you burned 300 calories at the gym you eat 1500 calories so your body doesn’t go into starvation mode (this will make you lose muscle instead of fat).

    Switch up your routine, try different workouts. Make sure to challenge yourself. Give maximum effort to get maximum results. Try High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with BodyRock.tv. It will make you push yourself like crazy. Also try having days where you eat 1500 net cals to give your metabolism a boost.

    Good luck!
