FLAT STOMACH

FLAT BELLY / PAUNCH / SIX PACK ABS

Question:
I have a a fat stomach, a paunch to be exact, will abdominal crunches and ab exercises give me a flat tummy?

Answer:
Stomach crunches and ab exercises targeted at the upper body can help strengthen the muscles near your belly, but they won’t make that paunch disappear on its own. Stomach crunches and ab exercises are generally  good, because it gets the heart pumping and the flood flowing. In fact any intense cardio workout is recommended because it will causes you to gasp for breath and pant. Panting is good and beneficial because it gets you to flush your lungs with fresh air and gets the blood oxygenated. Added to this, you need to get your heart to beat at  about 120 beats per minute for at least 20 minutes. It's a  sure way to maintain good health and burn that stomach fat  and get rid of those stored calories.

Burn calories and regular exercise equals six pack abs.

If you have a paunch because you haven't exercised in a long time, or been an armchair sportsman since your sports injury or you've just been complacent and inactive, just too busy to look after yourself, a skipping rope is the way to go. Skipping is non intrusive, is it easily done, results in minor muscle soreness, no stretching required and burns stomach fat fast especially lower belly fat.  Start off with 20 jumps and moderately increase them daily, stop when you tired but try for 20 minutes but monitor your heart rate. You don't have to jump high, just high enough for the rope to scrape through under your feet. The most important aspect of the skipping rope exercise is consistency. Consistency burns overall body fat like no other method. So skip daily. The second most effective overall aspect of loosing the lower belly fat is to control your calorie intake.

FAT CONTROL

Our bodies doesn’t reduce fat just in certain areas when we exercise because fat loss is a total-body experience. Fat gain is no different, when your belt size increases so does your collar size. Having said that, when we exercise and the waistline  reduces, the neckline and upper arm and thigh girth will follow. When we achieve that six pack the rest of the body reduces in conformity. Weight management is the key to success.

EAT MODERATELY

You are what you eat, if you eat health you will be healthy. Keep white bread consumption to a minimum. Eat your fruit, don't drink it. Drink lots of water especially before a meal, it will ste up your metabolism and will prevent you from over eating  Try to stay away from take-out, eat home cooked meals. Stay away from tea and coffee, they cause free radicals especially if you take sugar.

A NOTE OF CAUTION 

Three cups of coffee or tea per day with 3 spoons of sugar each equates to 27 spoons of sugar in three days -25 teaspoons full fills a cup. Try filling a cup with sugar and count the spoon-fulls for yourself. In a month you could consume as much as 10 cups of sugar. So cut down on your sugar intake.
