Have you struggled with flab around your arms, lower back, thighs or tummy? Have you tried everything under the sun to get rid of it and yet failed? Do you run on the treadmill and sweat it out thinking it will help?
The key to getting results is doing a high intensity work out without tiring yourself too quickly. So, instead of running on the treadmill for 45 minutes, you might as well take a walk in the park and get some fresh air.
The fact is you will never get slim unless your muscles are doing the work. Thats when fat burns. For example, a woodcutter who uses a non motorized axe to chop wood, will be burning big number of calories even though his movement is slow because of the high intensity work involved.
Ultimately, fat will get replaced by muscle and the best part is it doesn't matter how fat you are. By following the right principle, you will reach your target, slowly but surely!
There are just so many exercises that you can do with your own body weight too which are very effective. Like for example - plank exercises. If you google search plank exercises, you will find there are plenty of variations too.
I believe any good workout should be planned well and that the first twenty minutes of any workout plays a crucial role.
One method I use is simple and effective. Depending on the muscle group you wish to train during your work out session, you will use the first twenty minutes of aerobic exercises to activate those muscles.
For example, if today was your bicep tricep day, then you would spend the first twenty minutes doing warm up exercises like the mountain climbers, burpees and push ups. This trick intensifies the work out experience and you can tell by the burning sensation in your arms.
Making the right combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises gets your body into the fat burning mode.
So, even though the bathroom scale does not show much change in your body weight, you can tell by looking at yourself in the mirror. Because your low density jiggly fat is being replaced by high density muscle mass.
A good six months of consistent work out will show you concrete results, provided you follow the right diet and the right technique.
