Exercises To Slim Down

Split Up Your Exercise: There are a number of excuses for not working out such as no time. This is a number one excuse.But this reason becomes obsolete if you split up your workout time into two, three or even four mini-workouts daily. You will burn the same amount of calories whether you do your workout all at once or in bits and pieces. For instance, you can do a brisk ten-minute walk before work, climb your office stairs for ten minutes at lunchtime and dance to your favourite music for ten minutes while you’re cooking your dinner.

Eat Right:
Combining a healthy diet and exercise will give the best and most healthy results. If exercising is making you more hungry than usual, ensure that you are drinking plenty of water, and stock up on healthy snacks to avoid the temptation to eat quick-fix snacks. If your energy is dwindling, choose a food, such as a banana, which will release sugar and therefore energy back into your system slowly. Do not starve yourself. If you are hungry after exercise it is important that you eat, you don’t want to end up fainting because you haven’t replaced any of the energy you have just expended. Any programme that involves starving your body of adequate amounts of food will not be sustainable in the long run. Exercise should form part of a healthy lifestyle that can be lived and enjoyed long term, it is not about quick results and then reverting back to bad old habits. While exercising will certainly help to burn calories and therefore fat, it doesn’t mean you can eat what you like. Low-fat and low-sugar foods are equally important, but one of the many happy by products of regular exercise is that you may find you can eat more.

Exercise To Reduce Belly Fat:
The most common stomach-slimming is the sit-up. Sit-ups can be in several ways and in various levels of intensity. Sit-ups can be done with both feet firmly planted on the ground, commonly known as the male way of doing sit-ups. They can also be done with your legs crossed, knees bent and knees in the air at a 90-degree angle from your hips. The male way of doing it creates more resistance and is more difficult. Sit-ups contract the stomach muscles, helping you gain muscle and trim fat. This exercise may be difficult but the end result is a flat tummy.
