Training Philosophy

Livia has discovered – and experienced - that training needs to be more tailored as women age, especially after having children.

Fit Freedom, founded in March 2010 specialises in fat loss and body shaping programmes for women, which include heavy weight training and ‘fat burning’ cardio vascular exercise.

Body shaping follows bodybuilding theory but without increasing muscle density to the extent that body building can. Women lose half a pound of muscle per year from the age of 25 and this is replaced by body fat! The only way to regain and retain shape is to train with weights, which stops muscle wastage and therefore slows down the metabolism.
