The Fight Between Weight Loss And Fat Loss Is A False One

August 5th, 2009

Obesity rates in the U. S. and other developed countries are rising. People are too quick to utter the phrase “I think I need to lose a little weight.” The problem is that most people don’t think about what they want to lose. They should be focusing on fat.

There are only three viable options for basic weight loss:

Remove water from your cells and organs
Reduce subcutaneous fat and inner body fat
Build muscle surrounding your skeletal structure to burn fat

Diets usually first draw water from the body. The term “water weight” refers to the five or ten pounds that are removed at the start of a serious diet. It makes the dieter more enthusiastic when the weight comes of quickly in the beginning.

The best diets show you how to lose body fat gradually and carefully pace the process one pound at a time. This means losing fat instead of muscle.

You can lose your muscle mass during an intense diet. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn daily. Your body even burns calories while you sleep. If you lose muscle mass during dieting this can be disastrous for your internal organs including that most important muscle; your heart.

You want to lose fat over muscle. Short duration high intensity weight training will begin the process of burning calories and decreasing your fat cells.

Eat a balanced series of meals through the day. I recommend  six small meals that include protein, clean carbohydrates monounsaturated  oil and fiber.

Take two of your meals in meal replacement form. A protein drink or breakfast shake for two of your meals will enhance your liver function. Since you are changing your lifestyle, go ahead and purchase the right vitamin and mineral supplements for your age and sex.

Be aware of your body type. Endomorphs tend to hold more fat for longer periods and store their fat in their face and neck, belly, hips and thighs. They are the circle.

Ectomorphs find it hard to gain muscle mass, and even when they are fat, you could hardly tell. They are the line.

Mesomorphs are the ones everyone want to be. They are muscular, tend to shed fat easily and pack on muscle just as easily.

You can beat the fat by focusing on the real problem. Once you take advantage of your unique strengths and support the weak points, you will be able to see quicker results. You won’t have to starve yourself or deprive your taste buds. You are on your way to a happier healthier leaner body.

Three Powerful Ways To Get Ripped Six Pack Abs

July 24th, 2009

The main inquiry I am asked by a few aspiring bodybuilders, who want to know about getting six pack abs, is  “What to do first?”  They want to know which exercise routine or stomach fat burner should be used to get the washboard abs effect?

My return question to them is,  What kind of commitment so you have to body shaping? So I ask you; What kind of physical condition are you in? Can you do 10 to 12pull ups, regular pushups and 25 hanging leg raises?

If so you are in decent shape. How is your body fat level? Are you somewhere near seven percent if you are guy or at or below 12 percent if you are a gal? Now you have seen some of the essentials that are important in fitness training.

The three secrets to getting great abs are good genes, high intensity compound exercises and a restricted calorie diet.

If you dilligently craft your eating plan to fit your body type, build muscle with compound exercises and pay attention to your unique physiology, you will burn a lot more calories, reduce your fat level, and begin to see your abs pop.

If you pay close attention to how you burn calories and focus on working your large muscles you will find that your body will get a better hormonal response. You will at long last get a much greater increase in metabolic rate for the hours and days following this type of workout.

Here is an easy way to cut your calories for a six week, fat burning training program. You will not have to count calories, but you will have to your food and keep your meals simple.

A simple meal plan should include six small meals a day. Each meal will be equal in composition and calorie requirements. You will have protein, beneficial fats and  in a ratio of 50/10/40. Follow a simple rule of never eating any of the three components alone.

Make sure that your portion size stays consistent. Use a tea cup saucer as your plate. I use a bowl that is four inches in diameter and two and a half inches deep. The only thing I get to eat in abundance on training days is salad.

For getting in shape I suggest the following workout a minimum of three times a week for four to six weeks.

* Barbell clean and press

* Barbell back squats

* Sumo squats

* Pull-ups

* One arm dumbbell

* Pushups

* Hanging leg raises

Because I tend to lean on the fat side of life, I have to continually burn fat with exercise. I take a free day once a week. If you are prone to packing on weight, you will need to ramp up the above workout to burn off your fat stores while building muscle.

Let us cover the topic of aerobics for a second. If you are usually active, you will simply want to apply a short duration high intensity aerobic workout on alternative days from your bodybuilding workouts.

You will be practicing high intensity aerobics to push your caloric burn and keep your lung capacity up to standard. You will not want to do this intensity for more than 20 minutes. Skipping Rope exercises are perfect for this or sprinting practice as well. A six week program will dramatically reveal your six pack abs as you drop fat from your body.
