It is sports time! A good time to burn fat and pursue our weight loss program while watching our favorite sports. What are your favorite sports? BASKETBALL, SOCCER, BASEBALL, TENNIS, VOLLEY BALL, CRICKET … then, by all means, take advantage of the ADRENALINE and use it to burn fat. Certainly, losing weight can be entertaining!

Let’s think for a moment, a game is usually between 60 to 90 minutes. Can you imagine all the exercises we can do while watching a game? Listen, do not panic, you do not have to exercise the entire time… but let’s say, you can take 10 - 30 minutes to exercise while watching your game and pursue your weight loss program. Sounds good? Awesome!

HINT: Keep a COLD PITCHER of GREEN TEA and try to finish it during the game… it will speed up your BURNING FAT mode, increasing the metabolism.

Do you get motivated while watching your favorite sport, or favorite players? Hey, you can use that motivation to complete your exercise routine! For instance, I get highly motivated when seeing my favorite teams, did I say MILAN? and nervous when they are losing. Hence, my exercise routine while watching a game depends on MOODS ha ha ha ha How about for you?

I encourage you to prepare a basic routine and enjoy your game while toning your muscles. Squats, ABS exercises and upper weight lifting training are great to release tension while watching a game. If you have a treadmill at home, it is even better!

For soccer fans, here it comes the Champions League, Serie A, La Liga, EPL, MLS, Liga Mexicana, Argentina, Brazil … wowwww so many to mention! What is your suggested exercise routine? For me, it is time to modify my exercise routine to improve my weight loss program and fitness maintenance, which means back to soccer drills, strengthening, resistance, the elliptical, and abs toning.

Since I am a soccer fan, let me share with you my predictions for the Champions League 2005-2006.

Chris Chew asked:


Do you know that you are actually fighting against nature when you are attempting to lose weight? You see, way back long ago, when a caveman’s next meal was uncertain and he was hungry, the body will store and conserve as much fat as possible to ensure its survival.

Furthermore, it will lower the metabolism rate so that less fat is being burnt for energy. Therefore we all have this built-in survival mechanism and this is the reason why skipping meals when trying to lose weight is not such a good idea. Now, you can see why it is so easy to gain weight and so difficult to lose them?

Although we now have certainty when our next meal is coming, our body will still instinctively store fat for it is a natural survival mechanism since the body can’t think. Fortunately, there are a number of ways we can raise our metabolism and keep fat at bay.

If you want to burn fat by raising your metabolism, try lifting weights. Lift weights using compound exercises with high repetitions. The idea is not to build muscles but to raise your metabolism in order to burn fat. Since compound exercises such as dead lifts, squats and bench presses work on many muscle parts, you will be puffing and panting. In other words, you are having a good fat burning cardio work out.

Because the exercises work on many muscle parts, more calories are expanded and that meant more fat is burnt. Don’t waste your time doing puny exercises like bicep curls or tricep extensions. Yes, these exercises have their places, but they are not efficient for fat burning.

You should also limit the number of sets of each exercise to 3 or 4 sets since there are some studies showing that there is no difference in doing four or six sets for fat burning purpose.

Next, do pay close attention to how long you rest in between sets. Resting for too long, say for 2 minutes will clear a fat burning hormone releasing chemical called lactate from your bloodstream. Therefore if you want to burn fat, you need to keep lactate in your blood stream for as long as possible. Therefore do not rest more than a minute in between sets.

Yes, you say that there is not sufficient recovery time after the last set and performing the next set before recovery will not be efficient. Well, you can get around this easily by alternating the exercises such as doing a lower body exercise, and then do an upper body exercise next.

Tempo when lifting weight is vitally important. By swinging your weights up and down will get you nowhere, perhaps even getting an injury. This is because when you swing the weight up, you are using momentum and when you lower them quickly, you are using gravity to assist you.

Therefore, slow things down to a consistent rhythm but fairly quickly enough to get a cardio workout.

Although the above exercise techniques are not meant for building muscles but for raising metabolism to burn fat, if you have never lifted weights before, you will also gain some muscles. Do know that muscles are natural fat burner and the more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. When you have gained enough muscles, you will become a natural fat burner.

How to lose belly fat is on a lot of people’s intentions these days. Some people believe that the most crucial step in learning how to lose belly fat is to do crunches and sit_ ups but, these just build muscles on your abdomen. You won’t even be capable to see this deviation if those abdominal muscles are concealed in fat. How to lose belly fat is the most often inquired question by women, and of course they want the very best and quickest way to lose it. An important part of discovering how to lose belly fat is getting extremely serious about the food you consume and don’t consume every day.

Abs

Exercises that fortify the major abdominal muscles and form muscle mass in your torso will help you have that washboard abs you have always dreamed of. It doesn’t matter how much core work you execute, your chiseled abs will remain concealed under the levels of fat until you get rid of the fat first. Once the fat is becoming scarce, begin abs exercise to tone the abdominal section. A great way to do this is integrating a circuit style of training the abs on three days alternately in a week.

Diet

Diet is a significant part in dropping weight. Diet and exercise go hand and hand. A diet program is useful in the procedure of cutting fat just because you need to demand that your weight stays steady. Diet success calls for a number of things to be in order before you can obtain anything substantial.

Exercises

Exercises to lose belly fat can be easy going and most importantly fun for you. Exercises if done pursuing the correct procedures are vastly effective but rendered fitness diets are there to endorse and enhance their potency. Exercises with a fitness ball is good for all the muscle groups. Exercise is critical, but your diet is power when it comes to losing body fat. Exercises like, squats, lunge and press, full squats (going from squat to semi-jump), or even sprints will burn more calories than just cardiovascular alone, and they will also construct the much required muscle in order to passively cut excess calories during the day.

Workout

One of the great ways to diminish the waistline is to jump-start your cardiovascular workout. Workout with weights 2 times a week and do your cardiovascular workout 3 times a week. In order to lose belly fat, you must drink enough water, especially when you workout or sweat. Programs or routines such as circuit training, aerobics and other combo body training workouts should do this for you.

Ask any trainer or read any fitness article to find out how to lose belly fat and formulate six pack abs and the response you’ll usually find admits various proficiencies such as morning cardiovascular, circuit training, low carb diets, high intensity weight training, and ab supersets. However, there is an upside to completing all those sit-ups and crunches when regarding how to lose belly fat, and that is this will make your abdomen look more chiseled once the fat does start to melt away. If you’re questioning how to lose belly fat, and yet you’re still consuming a lot of foods stuffed with saturated and trans fats, you’ll never get there. Minding your good foods is always a crucial step in learning how to lose belly fat. How to lose belly fat is 1 of the biggest ideas in American society today.



Fool Proof Guide To Fat Loss

Rena Wong asked:


Many people yearn for six pack abs and yet struggle to turn that desire into reality. Are you one of them?

In this article, I want to highlight 3 proven strategies on how to lose belly fat and develop six pack abs. You don’t need any fat loss pills, ab gadgets or follow any fad diets to achieve your goal of getting ripped or six pack abs, or a flat stomach. Once you do what is right, you will be showing your ripped abs in no time and be the envy of others!

Firstly, dietary habits are the sole determinant of whether you get ripped abs. Most people will never have low enough body fat for visible abs if their diet is poor. Do you know that diet is even more important than exercising if you want to lose belly fat? Unfortunately, there has been so much misleading and confusing messages in the media about what’s healthy and what’s not in promoting fat loss. Gimmicky diets usually limit or favour one food group such as low fat, high protein, low carb, atkins, south beach, vegetarian, cabbage soup, fasting and so forth. They tend to focus more on one macronutrient while your body needs all macronutrients, vitamins and minerals. By eliminating an entire food group, your body is deprived of what it needs to function most efficiently. It is important to eat a wholesome, natural and balanced diet as much as possible. Avoid refined (grains, flour, sugar, oil), processed foods and trans fat as these can damage your metabolism and adversely affect your hormone balance in your body.

Secondly, focus on the intensity of your workouts and on training the largest muscle groups of the body to maximize your fat burning effect. Working out large muscle groups like the legs, back and chest stimulates fat burning hormones and metabolism. Some effective exercises include squats, deadlifts, lunges, clean and press, etc. Although training small muscle groups like biceps, triceps and shoulders have certain benefits, it does not develop a lean body.

Long, steady cardio is not the best way to lose body fat and get visible six pack abs. Interval training is more effective than slow cardio routines. Due to the variety of intensity, interval training has been proven to strengthen the heart and maximize fat loss. Your metabolism remains elevated post interval workout so your body burns more calories than it would have burned during a cardio workout.

Thirdly, let’s discuss about abs training. Forget about doing hundreds of crunches and sit ups. These ab exercises do not provide enough stimulus for the abs of most people who already has some training under their belt. Resistance helps to build and tone muscles. However, crunches are one of the ab exercises that provide the least amount of resistance. High resistance ab exercises such as hanging leg raises and lying leg thrusts are more effective in developing six pack abs.

Bear in mind that ab exercises do not get rid of belly fat, so don’t waste too much time training your abs directly. Specific ab training should only form a small part of your workout program. Your six pack abs will not be visible if covered with fat. Focus on full body exercises which create metabolic changes that help to reduce body fat. These exercises also indirectly work the entire midsection. Combined that with a healthy, natural and wholesome diet, you will definitely get your ripped abs in the shortest time!
