Today I'm going to tackle one of the most common questions a personal trainer hears during the initial interview they do with a weight loss client. That question is "What exercise should I do to get rid of my handles on my back and tire around my waist?"
Lets start at the beginning with this one. Since the beginning is the place most things start. It can't hurt to laugh a little while you learn right?
Losing weight off only one area of the body falls into spot reducing, right? It doesn't really work that way. Spot reducing does not happen to a noticeable degree.
If you asked a question like that, I would understand what you want to achieve but what you think is the way to achieve it, is not the way to achieve it. The reason I say that is because you burn fat over your entire system.
Unfortunately, usually the areas where you want to lose weight on, are usually for men or women the areas that tend to go last. The quickest way really to tighten up your stomach is not going to be with sit-ups, crunches or any of the wide assortment of machines you will find on late night infomercials. It's the exact same if you want to tighten up your butt. It's not going to be lunges or anything like that. It's going to be just a calorie deficit that's going to cause you to burn off the excess storage of energy that you have in that area that is carrying excess weight.
If you really want to get a nice flat stomach or six-pack, cut out the junk. This is going to be a recurring theme once you understand how the body works. Cut out the junk and burn some more calories. Speed up your metabolism. I would personally do wind sprints, to be honest with you. If I wanted to harden up my six-pack I'd get out and start sprinting. And then I'd throw in some weight training, too, just for "shape".
When I say shape, it's not like you can say, "My bicep looks like this, and I want it to look like this." It's just a matter of growth or not growth. So, if you're lacking shape in a certain area, you can either build it up or reduce it in size, depending on how you train.
What you just learned was a very important piece of information that will save you a lot of money and wasted time and effort. No longer will you be tempted to buy expensive equipment with the idea that it is some how superior to any thing else for losing weight in a certain area of your body. The same goes when you see supplement adds.
You'll know that the secret to a flat sexy midsection, is simply burning off the stored fat you carry in the most efficient way possible. That is, big whole body exercises and a diet that is full of clean natural foods.
