Up front and personal, body fat chooses where it sits within your body and when it is converted to energy.

We all know the common places for our fat stores thighs, tums and bums for females (including under arms and boobs); men carry it up front.

No matter how much exercise you do you will not be able to target certain parts of your body to loose fat. Your body fat sits on top of your muscles like a heavy all weather jacket, you will not see the designer clothes underneath unless you remove the jacket or change it for a summer jacket. If you fill a glass of water standing in a bowl and you fill the glass with too much water it will over flow and be caught in the bowl. The water is food, the bowl is your body, the over flow of water now becomes body fat. If you drink the full glass of water before it overflows, then there is no water in the bowl (body fat).

Drinking the water by being active and exercising is the only way to ensure the glass does not overflow.

So how do we burn the body fat we have, the answer is obviously exercise but not all exercise achieves the same goals. The other answer is that we still need food, so starvation is not an option. If you choose to starve yourself then any food you eat will be stored as body fat as your body goes into shock and thinks its needs to store food because It 20

Your body then diverts its attention to other sources of energy and will start to break down the muscle fibres range that your heart rate (HR) for energy.

Each Personal Trainer has a different approach but my advice is to work with your body and listen to your heart as it is an automatic regulator. Depending on your everyday stress levels, sleep and diet your heart will always tell you how you are feeling, guiding you to what you can achieve on any particular day. The scientific method to find your optimum fat burning range is the formula 220 – Age = this gives you your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). You then need to calculate 60% and 70% of your MHR. This will then give you the There is no quick fix to burning fat or getting fit. I would suggest focusing on getting into a routine and aim for noticeable changes in your body size within 3 months. Do not forget that rest is just as important so give yourself a day off every now and again from your routine so your body can repair itself and be stronger to go again.

GREEK GINS

Jin Jin Jingle All The Way!

I’ve lost count of the amount of new and exciting gin bottles hitting the shelves this year and I know many of you will find the process of buying a Christmas gin quite daunting given all the new and magical flavours. Also, there are so many gorgeous bottle designs out there, and it’s easy to get carried away with aesthetics, so, to keep you on Santa’s GOOD List, I’ve not only found some gins that taste as good as they look, I’ve also added a St. Nikolas Cocktail and a Special Santa Gin for you to make at home! Can’t have you drunk in charge of your sled, can we? So, let’s start with the gins!

Whitley

Neill have brought out the most magical Mince Pie Gin, which really launches strong aromas of rich, mince pies and a touch of citrus upon opening. It is sweet on the palate with hints of mince pies and raisins, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg all adding to the Christmassy taste. With a hint of pine Christmas trees on the end, this gin is heartily recommended, but try it with soda instead of tonic if you find it too sweet. Terry’s Chocolate Oranges were a special Christmas treat in our stockings and up until 2005, they were produced in the city of York. In homage to this and York’s long chocolatemaking history, (with a quick hello to my chocolate making Koumbaros) York Gin have created a wonderful full-strength Chocolate & Orange Gin in time for Christmas with fresh oranges and cocoa nibs. Just fabulous! Warner’s Christmas Cake Gin is inspired by founder Tom’s mum’s Christmas cake recipe. Uniquely distilled with real dark chocolate, ginger, juniper and festive spices, then expertly blended with cherry juice, this hand-picked sloe gin macerate & pure treacle is like drinking a Jamaican ginger cake! Try it served over ice with cola and a slice of orange, or if you are feeling fancy, it’s out of this world in a velvety hot chocolate or game-changing Espresso Martini (http:// theginnolier.com/cocktails. html)
