In an attempt to quickly lose weight, people have resorted to different (some extreme) methods of achieving their ideal weight in the shortest time. Many people have approached me with questions on why haven’t they seen results with using certain diet pills or some other popular exercise program.
Have you ever wondered why people who went back to “normal” weight due to dieting or weight loss pills still end up with high blood pressure and heart diseases? And why do people who exercise regularly, run marathons or those generally considered “fit” still look fat? The reason is high body fat percentage in their overall body composition.
The problem with working out at the gym is, it is after all a public venue. This means the moment you decide to sign up for a gym membership you will have to co-exist with the other gym members and deal with whatever peculiarities they have. This can prove to be very challenging especially when you are at the gym working hard on exercising to reduce tummy and the presence of some others are making it hard for you to do so.
When it comes to exercising to reduce tummy fat, there are so many different schools of thought out there. Some may say you need to exercise for 20 minutes with moderate intensity so you can remain in the fat burning zone. While others claim that just by jogging for 30 minutes every day and you will automatically burn off your belly fat. Oh and don’t forget the all-time favorite, just do 500 sit ups a day and you will get an amazing six pack. Do any of the above sound familiar to you?
As you know, the quickest way to lose weight is by consuming less and exercising more. The problem steady state jogging is much of the weight that is lost is muscle (catabolic activity). The breaking down of muscle must be offset by building it back up, which is only possible with the proper foods and exercises that concentrate on building muscles. Only with muscle building in mind can a fat loss program be effective and sustainable. Weight loss in this way assures that muscle tone is increased at the same time.
In today’s Exercises to Lose Weight Fast Video Series, we are going to introduce a unilateral exercise called, Bulgarian Squats. For those who feel that the regular prisoner squats is too easy, this is a great exercise to reignite muscular growth in your quads and get your body burning more calories.
The Dumbbell Row is also a compound exercise that targets your back, biceps, forearms, shoulders and core. It burns a hell lot of calories as well as helping you to sculpt that thick muscular back that separates you from all the other amateurs.
Today, we’re going to look at perhaps one of the best exercises to lose weight fast – Squats! Like all compound exercises, squats activates multiple muscle groups such as hamstrings, calves, quads, glutes, core and your other stabilizer muscles. Because of this, the amount of calories burnt performing this exercise is higher than say a leg extension. While this seems like an easy “up and down” exercise, you’ll also need to know how to execute it correctly to maximize its benefits and avoid injury.
Do you think exercise to reduce tummy is more effective at the gym than it is at home? There’s this guy at the gym, James (not his real name), who has been working out at the gym for the last two years. Last week, he came to me and asked, “Hey Daniel, how long does it take to look like you? I’ve been training for awhile, but I’m still like this…”
You spent the last few weeks giving 110% to your fat loss plan to reduce your tummy. You endured the sickening pain of the exercises and post-workout muscle soreness. You stuck to your diet religiously and changed your lifestyle in your dedicated attempt to lose weight. But one fine day, illness or injury strikes. You are out of action for a few days, sometimes weeks. All that time off causes your muscles to go flat and the lack of physical activity makes you grow fat all over again. All that exercise to reduce tummy seem to have gone to waste.
