Lose My Tummy Fat!

I am not a fan of going to the gym but i have become a fan of classes which are at the gym.

Classes which are good for you and fun are:

Spinning Class – Sit on a bike and spin your legs in time with an instructor
Legs, bums and tums – a workout that focuses on legs, bums and tums
Total Combat – self defence disciplines including kickboxing, tai chi and karate
Salsa – a great way to get your hips moving
Step classes – a way to get you moving but not at a fast pace
Aqua Aerobics – aerobic type moves in the water to increase mobility, improve fitness, muscular strength and endurance.

It is a known fact that a Salad is not fattening, that is until you cover it with salad dressing.

I am a big fan of a Caesar Salad when i am out having a meal before a night out as i always thought it was light and good for you but i have been told that a salad from a restaurant is one of the worst things you can order and a pizza is probably healthier for you.

So beware when going out for a meal do not always go for what you think is healthy, go for fish, chicken and veg.

I have got a Wii Fit as i am not the keenest person to be going to the gym and this way i dont feel so bad if i miss a night as i go on this every night i dont go.

There are lots of activities to keep you occupied like:

• Yoga
• Balance Games
• Aerobics
• Training plus

A personal favorite for me is the Hoola Hoop as it really gets your heart pumping and also lets you get a bit of a sweat on.

The Wii Fit is ideal for any age group as you have a body test when you add your own character so grandads and grannys are good to go as well as us young uns..

There are lots of Aerobic DVD’s hitting the shops with it coming up to Christmas and i have been looking on Amazon.co.uk to find out what is selling

Below is a list of what i would personally buy but this may not be to everyones taste.

1. Roll off the pounds – aerobic gymball excercise £10.88
2. Carmen Electra’s Advanced Aerobic Striptese £7.37
3. Power Aerobics – Abs, buns & Legs £3.95
4. Body Sculpt – dance aerobics £2.66
5. The firm cardio dance slim down – £8.98

there are lots of different types of aerobics that can be done so dont think it is just stepping of and on a box.

A lot of people think the only way to get a flat tummy is to do sit-ups every day, these do play a part  but most flabby abs are caused by an unhealthy gut, bad posture and a toxic diet.

A few secrets to a flat stomach which can help you along the way are:

• Avoid fizzy drinks

• Avoid Chewing Gum

• Avoid wheat and white foods (eg cake, pasta)

• Cut back on Dairy

• drink herbal teas

• Try not to get too stressed

• Use Epsom bath sales

• Exercise (inc running, cycling, aerobics, swimming and kickboxing)

• Avoid fruit after your meals

• Activate your abs

• Keep your shoulders relaxed and breathe properly

• Do the right ab exercises

An easy option to get a smaller tummy is to have the gastric band fitted but this is only ideal if you are obese and have trouble loosing your weight..

The operation is to fit an adjustable band around the upper part of your stomach to create a pouch, the pouch fills up quickly than passes through the gap slowly into the lower part of your stomach, it than passes normally through your digestive system and the operation is usally done using key hole surgery.

Complications that can come from the operation are:

• Infection
• Damage to other organs or abdomen
• Band Problems
• Gallstones

Strange Facts

1. A girl of 14 is the youngest person to have a Gastric Band fitted
2. Fern britton had a gastric band fitted
3. The worlds fattest man went from 77 stone to 27 stone

Having a Tummy Tuck is one of the easiest ways to get a flat stomach but this option is not always the cheepest ones.

The skin and fat around the tummy area is removed to make a flatter stomach appear, this is often done after pregnancy or loosing a substantial amount of weight.

I know people who have had this done and they have said it is agony after the operation as you cannot bend too far or stand up too straight and you cant lift objects.

I dont think i could ever have a tummy tuck but each to their own i suppose…

Dancing is one of the most beneficial forms of exercise that you can do. Not only is it great cardiovascular workout but also helps tone all your muscles. A dance class such as ballet really focuses on the core and therefore can help tone your flabby stomach.
Belly dancing (even if you are conscious about your belly) this is a great to help lose your belly fat and according to all reports shaking it in a belly dancing class can help boost your self confidence too.
Salsa dancing is another great tip for helping to tone your belly. The hip action in the Salsa can often make you feel as if you have a stitch but it is simple your stomach muscles working out!!!
However as all the exercises stipulated in this blog, fat can only be reduced with a lot of hard work and a combination of exercise and diet.

Personal Trainers can be a great benefit when trying to lose weight. You can get ones who come out to your house (if the gym is not for you) or hire a trainer who is affiliated to your gym and have a training session there. They will work you really hard, push you further than you think you can go and would normally go on your own and they also have great ideas about the best types of exercises.
They can also help you target your training. So if you specifically feel that you want to hammer your flabby belly then a personal trainer may be the key.
I think they can be quite expensive though!! Especially if you also pay for the gym membership too!!

The gym is an essential part of trying to lose your tummy fat. Lots of different exercises are needed otherwise to keep your body guessing, if you only ever do the same thing every time you go to the gym your body will simply get used to the exercises and it will have no effect. However if you change it often it will have more benefits. Here is the theory; the movement of the Power Plate creates instability in the body with vibrations. This forces the body’s muscles react many times a second helping increase muscle strength. The claim is that if you use the Power Plate as part of your exercise regime then you are likely to lose a higher percentage of fat. The Power Plate is a great machine to use in the gym. I suggest you ask the advice of a gym instructor about the best exercises though.
