How to Lose that Extra Layer of Fat
Follow this sequence, which is known to work, and watch that extra layer disappear:-
- Firstly, you have to diet
- Secondly, use a Cardio workout
- Thirdly, you need to build Muscle
- And last, do those Abs exercises
So, to tackle your eating habits, AVOID PROCESSED FOODS, as they all contain additives that will add those inches to your middle.
Instead, go for Healthy Foods, such as Vegetables, Fruit and Whole Grain food, particularly dark-coloured foods which have more antioxidants in them, and contain anti-inflammatory properties and goodness.
Also, those SWEETENED DRINKS, particularly the FIZZY ones will have to go, if you’re serious. Processed drinks are responsible for a lot of belly bulges.
Another thing to remember is SIZE MATTERS. It’s important to keep to reduced portions and not to leave out whole grains, which will reduce belly fat.
Try and eat every 3 – 4 hours, to keep your blood sugar levels correct and keep your sugar intake as near to nil as possible, as most natural food has sufficient sugar in it. This will also keep your insulin levels down.
Chewing is a good habit to get into, as your food will digest quicker and you will not feel bloated or experience indigestion.
There are many CARDIO WORKOUT programmes available, but some work better than others.
Now you may not see yourself as a fighter, but boxing can give you a good workout by quickening the pace or using weights (up to 2lbs), will help flatten your core area. Add a twist to this and it will work those AB Muscles as well. This will also burn those calories. Try alternating with 10 minutes weights and 10 minutes without at a quicker pace.
To strengthen your STOMACH MUSCLES you should try this routine:-
- Up to
2 forward exercises, like crunches and sit-ups - Up to
2 side exercises, like side crunches and side bends - Up to
2 body rotational exercises, like rotating trunk and standing twists, which
exercise your obliques, often used for warming up.
The ABS needs progressively working, increasing the training intensity each time and needs working 3 times per week. Overworking the abs will not achieve earlier results and may well lead to internal damage.
If you follow the procedures above, you will feel healthier and fitter, your body will look more toned and the exercises will become easier as you settle into a regular routine
To Your Health,
