Lose That Big Belly Fast!
You might meet someone every once in a while you has a big belly and isn’t annoyed by it, but most of the people with this problem find it very unattractive. It is natural to want it to just go away so it is no surprise that we tend to seek out methods that promise to work quickly.
Since we have this tendency, a billion dollar business has developed that makes its money by selling people on the idea of “spot reduction” or dropping extra pounds in a specific area of the body. They tell us that, by focusing on just this one area, like our belly, pounds will come off quicker. Unfortunately, there are lots of people who fall for this unproven plan and they end up buying all sorts of fancy exercise equipment supposedly designed to work on specific areas.
Before falling prey to these people, you need to know that there is no way to reduce in one target area! Spot reduction cannot work by using some special diet or exercise equipment either. When you gain weight your body adds fat all over the body. Sure some people get lumps and bumps in some areas quicker than others but they are adding fat everywhere.
Fat reduction works precisely the same way as gaining fat only in reverse. So the only way to lose fat from your belly or anywhere else is to lose it everywhere. You can start a diet and or exercise regimen that may cause you to lose your belly fat, but it will only be because you lost fat from your entire body.
If you want to lose weight fast, the best way is to do cardiovascular exercises. These are the type of exercises that raise the heart rate for at least 30 minutes. Even better are interval type exercises, where you work your body at different rates during the workout. Great examples of these types of workouts are various team sports where the intensity varies constantly.
A team sport like Basketball is a great exercise because it requires lots of rapid acceleration and braking and turning. When you are doing an exercise like this, your body’s short term supplies of carbohydrate are used up fairly quickly and the body starts burning fat through the rest of the workout. Not only does it burn fat during the exercise but, if you do this type of exercise regularly, it will raise your base metabolism rate and your body will burn more energy all day!
You can use a diet as an effective short term method of losing extra weight, which would include your belly. But you need to realize that maintaining a lower weight will require you to make permanent reductions in what you eat so that what you take in is metabolized by your daily activity. The problem starts coming back if you eat just a little extra each day. It may not seem like much at the time, but it can add up to lots of extra pounds within a year.
To be successful in getting rid of your belly and keeping it off, you will need to make a fundamental change to your lifestyle so you are permanently doing adequate exercise and also not over eating. If you do both of these things, you’ll not only lose the belly, you’ll feel great and look like you have a new body!
