Lose the excess fat and eat well!
First things first, you
need to target the areas of fat by doing some cardiovascular
exercise. It does not matter how much you exercise if there is a
layer of fat over your abdominals, your six pack will be
unnoticeable. Examples of this would be; Running, jogging or cycling.
Anything that gets your heart and blood pumping is good to not only
lose weight but to stay healthy. It is important not to skip
breakfast as what usually happens is you will end up eating a massive
lunch due to not eating anything for hours on end which of course is
guaranteed to make you pile on the pounds. You should try not to skip
lunch either as again, you will end up eating a larger dinner and
most people are usually not very active after dinner which will lead
to weight gain. 3 sensible well balanced meals a day and if you must
snack between meals, make them low fat ones.
Drink water
Make sure you keep your
fluid intake up as quite often, thirst is mistaken for hunger. So
when we feel hungry we are actually thirsty. Keeping our fluid levels
up not only suppresses appetite so that we eat less which is good for
weight control, it ensures optimum digestion, removes waste products
from the body, helps to keep our skin glowing and complexion healthy
and encourages our kidney to function properly which increases the
efficiency of our liver’s fat burning capacities.
Build muscle
You do not need to shell
out on expensive equipment to build muscle. Exercises you can do at
home include, sit ups, crunches, leg lifts and using a stability ball
that supports your back and body so that you can effectively perform
these exercises without strain. You should carry out these exercises
at least three times a week. If you do have some money to spend you
can buy some dumbbells very affordably, the more muscle you have the
more calories your body will burn. Lifting weights and doing some
kind of resistance training is important to make sure you do not loss
too much muscle mass while you are reducing your calorie intake. You
need to try to do an even amount of cardiovascular and resistance
training otherwise if you concentrate on sorely cardiovascular
activities you may lose the muscle mass that you develop in your abs.
