Losing fat around stomach
Okay so most of us are probably a few pound overweight here and there on our body, but have you noticed that it’s often mainly concentrated around your stomach area?
And if you do put weight on, this seems to be where it becomes instantly added to. Why is this? How can we get rid of it?
One of the best ways is to do aerobic and cardio exercise. As well as this, weight training can be an ideal way to burn fat, as the more muscles you have, the more calories you burn!
Try to cut down on carbohydrates and fatty foods as these are just screaming ‘stomach fat’!
Sit- ups are really good, as well as more specific abdominal exercises. Yoga and pilates are fantastic ways of not over- exerting yourself whilst losing weight and feeling fit and healthy!
Often the stomach fat at the bottom is the hardest to shift, even if you lose lots and lots of weight, this always seems to be the most difficult to get rid of. This is because youre body burns fat from the body as a whole, not on specific areas. That’s why specific stomach exercises are vital to lose weight and maintain weight loss.
It is really important to try and reduce your sugar and carbohydrate intake- protein and fibre are good, fibre works well for your digestive system and protein makes you feel full reducing any cravings you may have! If you eat healthier you really do feel healthier, so its worth spending that little bit more on fresh produce and organic products!
