Fat Loss And Core Strength - Start With Trunk And Legs

By Dan Solaris

In these financially lean times, more and more people are getting so caught-up in the daily grind. It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a regular exercise regimen and having a healthy diet is becoming a luxury only a few can afford because of lack of time. This explains why a majority of the North American population is overweight.

The culture of fast food we've come to embrace isn't making things any easier on our waistlines too. Cheezy triple burgers, coffees with the caloric amount of a full meal and 24-hour pizzas these evidently wind-up as excess calories and unsightly flab- making-us heavier and less happy about ourselves.

Since we're living in a democracy and our government can't really dictate what stores and restaurants serve, it's quite obvious that the only way to curb effects of high-calorie dining is through regular exercise. Adopting a regular workout routine even for 30 minutes a day can get us in shape as well as reduce the stresses of the day.

Since time is an issue for most people these days, choosing workouts that have the highest efficiency in using-up energy is the key. Countless studies have been done and it's been found that there is a way to burn enough calories each day to bring about fat loss without spending most of your post-work hours in the gym.

Our body packs on the pounds when we regularly consume more calories than we need for our daily activities. Those ugly love handles are filled with stored energy in the form of fat tissue and the only way to get rid of it is by creating a calorie deficit each day.

There is no doubt as to the effectiveness of cardio exercises when it comes to isolating body fat for energy. However intense anaerobic exercises (bodybuilding) can be just as effective because additional muscle tissue improves our body's ability to burn calories even while we're not exercising. Traditional weight-training can be modified to increase intensity and enabling us to burn more calories and shorten our sessions.

Working several muscles simultaneously while exercising uses-up more energy. The more caloric energy we use, the faster we eliminate body fat. Involving the muscles of our core (lower back, hips, buttocks and mid-section) in regular weight-lifting exercises will effectively intensify our anaerobic workouts and result in a more rapid loss of fat while improving our balance and endurance.

The variety of core exercises we can choose from allows flexibility and fun in our workout regimen and this keeps us from getting bored and burning-out. We can actually strengthen our core by incorporating exercise balls, planks and Dyna discs into our weight-lifting sessions- making them less dull and monotonous. - 17274
