how to lose weight/get a flat stomach..and quick?!?
lately i’ve noticed i’ve been putting on tons of weight on my hips and my stomach. I don’t have the greatest diet, and I’ve given up on working out because I just don’t have the patience…I can’t go on diet pills because I don’t believe in those
any tips/workout/meal plans t help me? D:
well first, crunches and sit ups may cause you to have a bigger somach as you build up muscle through doing them. (this is what people usually think of when they want a flat stomach <crunches/sit ups etc>)
FAT IS NOT TURNED TO MUSCLE. so you tend to build muscle beneath the layer of fat on your tummy and it may appear larger than before.
THIS IS WHY CARDIO IS IMPORTANT – IT BURNS THE FAT!
just do running/jogging/biking/swimming/skipping for 20 mins to start with, then gradually move up to 30, then 40 and so on.
(bear in mind that you have to change your workout routine after a while, because if you don’t you will keep on using the same muscle groups and will build muscleinstead of burning fat; therefore your workouts should be challenging – like different lengths of time and different intensities and try to do varied exercises to engage all muscle groups)
Try HULA HOOPING – ‘the cardio for abdominals’!!
it’s not that hard to learn and it burns lots using all different abdominal muscles
The results can be better than you believe – do it for just 10 minutes a day and you can lose as much as 100 calories. And this will mean that you can shed up to 2 inches from the waist in just 30 days.
you can also do pilates as they strengthen your muscles
or try "belly waving" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li8NArR5M…
it aids the intestines to move food in your body – speeding up metabolism
SIMPLE CHANGES ALONGSIDE WORKOUTS AND TRAINING:
substitute – walk or bike instead of taking a car/bus
take the stairs instead of a lift – run up
take the longer path instead short cut
take with you additional weight like books or a big bottle of water
water – drink at least 2 litres of it /day. It prevents dehydration therefeore water isn’t stored in your body (bloating stomach and places around ankles and all that lot), + it detoxifines the body and therefore helps to speed up metabolism
a natural way is also green tea – it boosts up metabolism in a natural way (5-6 cups a day burns off additional 70-80 calories)
eat plenty of fibre rich foods as they aid the movement of your intestines therefore speed up metabolism
and last but not least – a healthy balanced diet. lean protein, fruit, veggies- at least 5 a day (keep doc away), fish, nuts; also ditch snacks like sweets, chocolate, haribo, marshmallows, ice-cream, chips, crisps, fried foods, sodas, fizzy drinks, don’t eat take aways, avoid high salt foods,
small portions, but eat 6 times a day and you’ll be fine
get your fat *** off the couch
try some meth that will do the trick in no time !
Swimming and diet..no fat..no red meat..more fruits and water..no overeating..
