The Best Strategies To Reduce Stomach Fat.
I often get asked, "What's the simplest way to reduce weight and lose my belly?" Most people would like to know if aerobics is better than weight training, or if traditional cardio exercise is far better than intervals.
Actually, to say I've done all of them might possibly be an understatement.
With over many years experience assisting other people, training myself, training for sports, spending countless hours in the fitness center, AND definitely conducting laboratory research studies on different exercise methods, I'm pretty confident in knowing what works and what does not.
But for a start, I'd like to frame my responses. I'm going to discuss about what works best for people that have a little period of time to exercise, typically because I believe your readers do not have 90 minutes each day to devote to a workout, unlike the normal audience of the fitness magazine.
That is why there's a big disconnect between some of the information found in magazines and the ability of the reader to use it to their lives.
We just don't have 6-8 hours per week for workouts, nor do we need it. In case you are a tri athlete, you might need that, but not somebody that just wants to lose fat and gain muscle.
Having said all that, the bottom line for getting a much better body is...
Benefit from bodyweight exercises to warm-up, strength training supersets to build muscle, and complete training session with interval training to shed weight in a very short period of time. I've structured my system so that you are in and out of the gym in 45 minutes, three times each week.
You'll do 5 minutes of bodyweight exercises to warm-up. This is a additional efficient approach than spending 5 minutes walking on a treadmill, which often does not prepare you for anything except more walking on a treadmill.
Then we go to the weight training supersets, where we use two exercises performed back to back with minimum rest between each. This reduces our workout time, while still giving us maximum results. We only need 20 minutes just for this, and we'll use simple workouts, and sometimes even more bodyweight exercises, according to the client's goal for muscle building.
Last but not least, we are going to do 18 minutes of interval training. A warm-up, followed by six short intervals at the appropriate level of fitness for the client, interspersed with short periods of low-intensity recovery. Finish with a cool-down. And that's the workout. Again, about 45 minutes total.
Comparing that to what most people do, which can be run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight. Sure, which will burn calories, but it does not build a better body.
Believe it or not, there are some "dark sides" to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries, and it is an inefficient form of exercise. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your exercise and you spend all of it on a cardio machine, when are you going to train all of your muscles and sculpt a much better body?
For that reason the best ways to burn belly fat is with a variety of strength training and interval training. It's fast, it works, and it is fun!
