This article will explore> how to flatten your stomach.

The first thing you need to know when you want to know how to flatten stomach is that you are going to need some exercise. Aerobic exercise or cardiovascular exercise is a great way to start melting away the pounds. I recommend using interval training . Interval training means you do intense aerobic exercise for a period of time then you interval moderate exercise and repeat. An example of this would be go out for a run and run full speed for 1 minute and the jog for 20 seconds and keep repeating for 20-30 minutes. Interval training speeds up metabolism and burns a lot of calories.

How to flatten stomach fat using weight or resistance training. You should do weight training at least 2-3 times a week. Work on different part of the body each time you do your weight training. The muscles you build weight lifting are continuously burning calories even when your body is at rest.

You can flatten stomach bulge by doing abdominal exercises. Even though you can\’t spot reduce fat you can start toning the muscles under the fat by doing abdominal exercises. There are many very good abdominal exercise to tone your stomach muscles. I have found the best of these exercises are the captains chair, the bicycle and crunch on an exercise ball.

Captains Chair This exercise is done using a piece of equipment found in most gyms.

1. Stand on chair and grip handholds to stabilize your upper body.

2. Press your back against the pad and contract the abs to raise the legs and lift knees towards your chest.

3. Don\’t arch the back and remember to breathe smoothly.

The Bicycle This exercise can be done anywhere laying on the floor.

1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.

2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.

3. Straighten the left leg out while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.

4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.

Crunch on an Exercise Ball An excellent exercise done using an exercise ball.

1. Lie face-up with the ball resting under your mid/lower back.

2. Cross your arms over the chest or place them behind your head.

3. Contract your abs to lift your torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips.

4. As you curl up, keep the ball stable.

5. Lower back down, getting a stretch in the belly.

As you can probably tell these are just some examples of how to flatten stomach. Regardless if you start with a couple of these suggestions or go all in it is important to just get started and you will start melting the fat away. As you might suspect exercise alone is not going to flatten your stomach you will need to include a healthy diet plan with your workout to flatten your stomach.

How to Lose Belly Fat – 3 Top Tips Revealed

by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under Weight

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!

3 Little Known Tips for Effective Oblique Exercises and 1 Big Mistake

by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under Weight

Do you find yourself not getting results with your oblique exercises? I know how you feel. You look at the posters flashing fitness models that has razor oblique and wishing one day that you will have that. Then, you train really hard, everyday but at the end, you get no results. You get frustrated, you blame your genetics and you are about to give up. If you are really feeling the way I have described, do not give up yet. Not until you have read my article.

My name is Tony Leong and I also have made mistakes in training my oblique. But through consistent learning from info sites and fitness newsletters, I have found out that what I have been doing all these years is wrong. No wonder I am not getting the results that I have wanted. This mistake that I have done in my oblique training is quite common. You will see people doing this oblique exercise everyday in the gym but very few people realize that it would not produce any results. That is doing lateral movement. That is my biggest mistake in trying to get razor sharp oblique.

A typical lateral movement oblique exercise is by standing up straight, holding a pair of dumbbells and tilting to left and to the right. That exercise actually works the lower back. Yeah, you feel it working because you are just compressing the sides of your stomach together. You are not actually exercising the oblique muscles. I am going to share with you 3 little known tips for effective oblique exercise. Lets dive into it.

Tip Number 1 For Effective Oblique Exercises

Do rotational movements at the torso. Rotational movements is the function of the oblique muscles and by overloading the movement, you will be able to train those muscle much more effectively. The best floor exercise that uses rotational movements is the bicycle crunch. There are many abs exercises that involve rotation the torso. You can also do standing cable rotation. These movements tie in perfectly to the function of the oblique muscles. So from now on, no more lateral movements, just stick with rotational movements for your oblique exercise.

Tip Number 2 For Effective Oblique Exercises

Now, this tip is about doing rotational torso movements with cables. Most of us do this exercise while standing up. If you want to really torture your oblique muscles, do it sitting down on a fitball or by doing the exercise with a lunge position. By sitting down, you take away the strength and stability from the legs and every effort in executing the exercise will from the oblique and core.

Replace the cable with an elastic band. The elastic band is more effective that the cables because of the recoil. It really focuses of the entire oblique muscle and gives you a different feel. You will be crying in agony after you have completed 3 sets of 20 reps of elastic band oblique twist.

Tip Number 3 For Effective Oblique Exercises

If you really want razor sharp oblique muscles, you cannot get it by just doing hundreds of rotational torso exercises. You need to get the body fat down and just concentrate on about 10 sets of oblique exercises. To really get that V look, you have to focus on cardiovascular training as well. You have to get the body fat down. Make 14 percent body fat as your initial target and focus on getting in your cardiovascular training and weight training. Do 2 time of weight training a week and at least of intense 3 to 5 sessions of cardio training per week.

Start taking action today and revise your weight loss program. Weed out all the lateral movement exercise for oblique and replace them with bicycle crunches. Use elastic band instead of cable for your oblique twist and do it sitting down or in a lunge position. A lunge position is where you have a leg in the front and the other leg far at the back with the back knee almost touching the ground. Then, get in your cardio, at least 3 to 5 times a week. You can get more information on weight loss by joining weight loss newsletter like Fast Fat Loss E-Mag where you can skip the learning curve and lose weight faster.

5 Best \”Cardio\” Intervals for Fat Loss

by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under Weight

Long, slow cardio is not the fastest way to burn fat. Research shows that short interval training workouts burn belly fat faster.

I was one of the first trainers to question long, slow cardio for fat loss back in the late 1990\’s and I believe that traditional cardio is over-rated.

Interval training, or interval \”cardio\” if you want to call it that, is much, much better for fat loss. It burns belly fat in half the workout time.

I figured this out just before the year 2000. Back in 1998-99, I was but a lowly grad student, studying the effects of androstenedione (the supplement taken by the mighty baseball player, Mark McGwire during his record-breaking home run quest in \’98).

In my study (which was published in the Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology for any science nerds like myself out there), we had guys use the supplement and go through a couple of weight training sessions. By February of \’99 I was stuck in the lab, analyzing the blood samples using some fancy radio-active isotopes.

And when I say stuck in the lab, I mean STUCK. I\’d get there at 7am, and record my last data point at 11pm. Sixteen hours of mad science. And if I wasn\’t there, I was downstairs in the medical library, studying papers on testosterone and training.

Now coming from a very athletic background, this sedentary lifestyle didn\’t sit well with me. But there I was, studing for a degree in Exercise Physiology and left with no time for exercise. Or so I thought.

Fortunately, I actually had a 50 minute window once per day of \”down-time\” while the lab\’s gamma-counter analyzed blood samples.

That left me 50 minutes to get to the gym (5 minutes across campus) and get a workout in the remaining 40 or so minutes. I knew that if I applied my studies to the workout, I could get maximum results in minimum time.

As a former athlete, I knew that I had to find a way to stay fit and to avoid the fat gain that comes with working long hours in a sedentary environment. And I also had to stay true to the high-school bodybuilder I once was, so there was no way I was willing to sacrifice my muscle to one of those long-cardio, low protein fat-loss plans that were popular at the time.

Instead, I had to draw on my academic studies and my experiences working with athletes as the school\’s Strength & Conditioning Coach. I knew that sprint intervals were associated with more fat loss than slow cardio, and I knew that you could also increase aerobic fitness by doing sprints (but you can\’t increase sprint performance by doing aerobic training).

So clearly, intervals were (and ARE!) superior to long slow cardio for fat loss. I had seen first hand the incredible results of sprint intervals in the summer and fall, as the athletes made huge fitness improvements and shed winter fat in a short time using my interval programs. I knew that intervals had to be the next step in the evolution of cardio.

The biggest benefit of intervals? A lot of results in a short amount of time. I knew that I only had 40 minutes to train, and therefore I could only spend 15-20 minutes doing intervals.

I also understand that interval training sounds intimidating to a lot of people, so I need to clear up how an interval training workout goes.

After all, I believe everyone can do interval training for fat burning. Even beginners. For beginners who usually exercise for 30 minutes at 3.5 mph on the treadmill, their interval workout would be to go for 1 minute at 3.8mph and then recover for 2 minutes at 3.0 mph. That\’s it. Repeat 6 times. If you are more advanced, you would use more intense exercise.

Interval training doesn\’t have to be sprinting for your life. It just needs to start off harder than normal and progress from there.

Most folks hate cardio, so they are happy to use interval training as an effective replacement to lose stomach fat. Here is my list of preferred ways to do your intervals, ranked in order from best to worst, based on my experiences.

1. Sprinting outdoors (Hill sprinting might be the absolute best method)
2. Kettlebell exercises
3. Bodyweight interval circuits
4. Treadmill running
5. Stationary cycle (upright cycling preferred over recumbant bike)

With those 5 interval training methods, you\’ll burn fat fast and never have to do cardio again!

Kettlebell Training for Women

by admin on Jan.30, 2010, under Women's Health

Wake up girls!

I finally found the best soloution for exercise and shifting your fat!

Training with kettlebells! I don\’t know many girls who have been training with kettlebells who go back to traditional means of slogging it out on the treadmill to lose thier love handles, because doing kettlebells give you?quicker results and challenges your whole body.?Kettlebells are soon becoming hot property in?the UK fitness industry?these days as you can create exciting workouts with them and they challenge your whole body in a short space of time.?But when only done correctly! That is, if you have had good instruction from a qualified kettlebell instructor then you are on your way to transforming your body. Everyone these days is looking for a fast solution to get their training done in the week. But Kettlebells will? help you fit?your workout?around your busy life -provided you know what you are doing. Unlike dumbbells, kettlebells displace weight, so physics forces body awareness and requires you to work against resistance through a longer range of motion. This increases the intensity of your workout and improves flexibility and calorie expenditure. Because the kettlebell hangs behind your hand and rests on your forearm it makes the weight easier to balance. And the handle makes it easier to hold on to for ballistic movements. This more intense workout will result in achieving your fat loss in less time. .

Jamie LloydBSc RKC?a certified Kettlebll Coach?who teaches kettlebell training to many men and women in London, and believes that results only come when kettlebell lifting properly-and that is with proper form.

So what exercises should women do?

Well there a bunch of exercises that women can do, well- 1001 in fact.? But the emphasis should be on efficiency and being able to master the basic moves like Bent Leg?Deadlifts, Swings, Cleans, Squats, Push Press and Windmills.? As these exercises will give most women a good foundation and will burn off most muscle groups.

But what?I suggest is that you do kettlebells little and often and and maybe do 15-20 minutes work and stick to the basics and train up to 4 x a week. Then you will not only learn the exercises but you will see a difference!

Here is an example workout:

Do as a circuit without any rest.

  • Bent Leg Deadlifts x 15
  • 2 Arm Swings x 10
  • Cleans x 5
  • Push Press x 5
  • Sling Shots x 10
  • Side Bends x 10???

Then rest for 1 minute and repeat 3-4 times.
