5 Healthy Helpful Tips to Lose Your Belly
- Meal frequency. Most people think skipping meals helps you lose weight. Wrong! Through recent studies it has been proved that in order to take in fewer calories it is best to eat about 5 or even 6 times a day. This doesn’t mean have 5 or 6 huge meals of course.Through taking in and noticing what’s in your food, less calories, you are lowering your level of cholesterol. When deciding what to eat make sure your meals have lots of fiber and protein in and your belly will begin to go!
- Type of Exercise. As I said above, exercising (specifically cardio) is not the ultimate weight loss tip, but for busy people (probably yourself) exercising for hours is not possible.I recommend interval training, e.g. sprints or a bike with the resistance almost maximum. This resistance will help you lose weight whilst increasing your muscle mass.In addition to interval training, you should be using a linear progression principle in order to continue to lift heavier, which will increase muscle mass and metabolism, and which will decrease body fat. Ladies, have no fear, you will NOT get “bulky”.
- Focus and Intensity! When you are working out you need to put your attention on burning the carbohydrates rather than the fat. Once your workout is complete, you need to be able to continue burning calories into the night (after burn).When you use the above advice of interval and resistance training you end up with the after burn. Your body continues to work long after you finish your workout, what can be better than that?
- Repetitions and Consistency! This is the key when working out. You need to put in the time, put in the reps, and not miss a workout.You will need to continue to experiment and change the types of repetitions and exercises that you do. In order to remove belly fat you need to keep growing your muscles and doing several different exercises.
- Keep the time you work out to under an hour. If you go to the gym, or work out at home after a hard day’s work, only spend around 30 minutes on it, however, in these 30 minutes you should do quick circuits and continue to use heavier weights than before.The shorter your time the more you will feel like you had a good time and want to do it tomorrow or/and the day after.If you spend too long you automatically feel like working out is boring and whenever you think about it, an alarm will ring in your head about how you could be doing something more fun, like eating!
Keep it to 45 minutes of exercise, then stretch for 10 minutes. In and out in under and hour!
