How many times have you looked into a mirror and looked your body over?
Guys: Flexing arm muscles to see the biceps bulge, that front pose where your shoulders and neck are flexed, but when you get to your belly you cant quite see that 6-pack you are looking for. Instead you see a beer belly, or spare tire or those infamous love handles.
Ladies: you don't like the way your hips and thighs give you that pear shape, or that pouch still there from your last child.
Everybody wants to lose their belly fat and get a sleeker, toned, sexier body.
But they are afraid they will lose the other parts that looks good to them.
Unfortunatly, there is no excercise that will target just belly fat, but as you start burning fat, belly fat is the first kind of fat you will lose.
You will lose fat in other area's as well, but belly fat is more noticeable.
So guys, you may have noticed that just doing crunches, you're not losing that much belly fat, and ladies all that walking at the mall or jogging in the park aint slimming down those hips and thighs.
Cardio isn't gonna do it alone. It only burns fat while you are doing the cardio.
You need to keep burning fat, not only when your exercising, but even when you are done exercising and just sitting on the couch watching tv.
You are gonna need to add some high intensity excercises and or weight training to your list.
Now if you're thinking that if you start weight training, you are gonna end up looking like some muscle bound freak. That's not true.
When you weight train, you are making your muscles more active, which end up needing more energy.
When that happens your metabolism starts to rise, and as it rises, it burns more fat.
So adding these exercises, and or weight training into your list, will raise your metabolism and end up burning more fat.
Now on to the exercises.
#1 High Intensity Resistance Training
We are not talking about just strength training here. You need to incorperate speed and
conditioning into this as well. By exhausting the muscles, you build up your metabolism.
#2 Interval Training
Exercise hard for a minute, then easy for a minute, then hard for 20 minutes
Muscle confusion, keeps from ending up on a plataue.
#3 Hard Tempo Trianing
Running hard for 20 to 30 minutes, up hill, whether outside or inside on a treadmill with a steep incline,
Again you are exhausting muscles and burning up calories which means you are burning up fat.
#4 Core Exercises
Work the whole core, not just abdominals. That means dont just do crunches. Work upper and lower abs
obliques and inner wall abs.
#5 Squats
Doing squats work good because your using a large muscle group, your legs and back. This means you burn more fat.
This also helps in burning fat when your done exercising because you raise your metabolism.
#6 Back exercises
Like I mentioned earlier, the back is a large muscle group, and by exercising this muscle group to exhaustion you build up your metabolism which not only burns fat while your exercising, but also when you are resting.
#7 Chest and shoulder exercises
Another large muscle group that helps burn fat after exercising.
Even tho these large muscle groups aren't related to belly fat, your body will be digging into fat stores to feed these muscle groups.
Add these exercises into your list of a good nutrition plan, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of sleep and rest, and you will lose belly fat - FAST.
