Losing Stomach Fat Fast

fitnessmagazine

Believe it or not, everybody has a flat tummy! Yeah, true. The thing is, undigested food accumulates in the intestines, making up to 5%  of total body weight; And as such, most tummies are covered with this accumulated excess fat. Also, blood sugar (glucose) can cover a person's tummy with excess fat since glucose can add more fat around the tummy. If most of your diet is sugary or starchy, you will experience this situation because starchy and sugary foods are a great source of blood sugar or glucose.

Regularly partaking in intensive cardiovascular exercises, mid-section strength training and maintaining a stable blood sugar level will make you lose this stomach fat easily. When you go cardio, you will not only keep yourself healthy, but you will get that killer trim waist line and flat tummy devoid of excess fat that you've always dreamed of.

This is so because, cardiovascular exercises are targeted at raising your heart rate, keeping your muscles in shape and making them stronger. Now hold on here. Don't let the word muscle scare you, because your heart is also a muscle and that's what I am talking about. Cardio exercises also stabilize blood sugar levels in your body, boosts your lung capacity and burns calories. 

Go on and give some of the following cardio exercises a try:

1. Swimming

This co-ordinated movement, whereby your limbs and/or body glides through water or another liquid, mostly for recreation, sport, exercise, or even survival is a low-impact exercise that needs no introduction at all. Not only will you achieve all the benefits of cardiovascular exercise when you swim, but since you will feel weightless as you glide through the water, it will help reduce impact on your joints.

What It Really Does For You:

Because some swimming movements will require you to move your arms up and over the water while moving your legs too, it becomes a very daunting task for you. However, this is good for you because your heart will pump faster to sustain you as you do this, strengthening your heart muscles in the process. Depending on your efforts, you can burn about 800 calories in just an hour of a swimming exercise!

2. Walking (Brisk)

You sure know that a simple walk through the grocery store will not do that much to or for your belly or your body. A regular walk that is brisk and intensive enough to leave you breathing at a faster rate than usual, give some strains to your leg muscles  and lets you sweat at least lightly, is what will help you a great deal.

What It Really Does For You:

 If your walking is vigorous enough, such that it will give your heart and lungs a challenging workout, not only will you get rid of belly fat, but you will experience the awesome benefits of lower rates of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.

3. Bicycling/Biking/Cycling

Back some years ago, cycling was a fun activity we all loved to engage in. But now, with more awareness and consciousness of or on our health, particularly our weight, whether you jump on an exercise bike or a "normal'' bike, it won't be just for the fun of it, but to reap lots of benefits essential for our health.

What It Really Does For You:

Depending on the duration and intensity of your cycling, you will burn lots of calories and strengthen your hips and knees. Since you will be working your entire lower body as you pedal away regularly, you will soon be spotting a tight body. Particularly for women, you will get a tight butt plus toned thighs too.

NB: 
Cardio exercises are part of any weight loss program. If done well and properly, your metabolism will increase for a full 24 hours and even more!
For workout intervals, make sure you always warm up for 2 to 5 minutes at an easy pace prior to beginning any of these exercises. Perform any of these exercises for 30 seconds. Make it hard and challenging as possible. Always have a recovery time to catch your breath and take a water break (if you want) in about a minute. Now repeat this cycle 5-10 times & you are good to go.  To prevent injuries and little niggles that may pop up in your muscles, don't forget to stretch a little before, during or after hard exercising.
