Fat Loss - Balancing Flexibility And Strength
The fast-food culture has conquered most of the globe and the world's inhabitants are succumbing to the tasty, mouth-watering drive-thru fare that just so happens to be dripping with LDL cholesterol (yes, the bad kind). Fortunately, there are a gauntlet of exercises proven to combat the surplus of caloric energy stored in love-handles and bouncing bellies.
Most of us are aware that no fat-loss workout regimen would be complete without some form of cardio exercise thrown in. The challenge for most people is choosing the right mix that will keep them exercising consistently, prevent hitting a plateau and getting bored. Dull workouts lead to skipped workouts which in turn results in slow fat loss.
A lot of people are still unaware of the usefulness of Pilates for losing weight and getting lean. More than a few novice gym goers stop working-out because they find their programs too dull and tiring. Because Pilates workouts are done at a low intensity and are invigorating, they're actually perfect for beginners who want to lose belly fat without dreading each session.
Because the movements don't take much effort to do, people of almost all ages and ailments can benefit from Pilates workouts. After consistent Pilates sessions, flexibility, balance and suppleness are improved significantly.
Cardio combined with strength training is the most common exercise program prescribed for fast and effective fat loss. Incorporating Pilates sessions with these will improve fat-burning efficiency of your workouts even more.
Weight training is essential in a fat-loss program because building muscle improves our metabolism. Resistance training causes stiffness to connective tissue and the joints however. This is where Pilates can come in- the smooth and continuous movements stretch the muscles of the whole body and this regains the lost suppleness lost from lifting weights.
The moves in Pilates exercises involve simultaneous action of all the core muscles- the upper and lower abdominals, the lumbar muscles, the obliques and even the buttocks. Since several muscles are being utilized at the same time, this means more calories burned in less time, ergo speedier weight loss.
A raised metabolism is one of the best weapons for keeping of excess weight because a larger amount of calories are burned. Constantly stretching the body's muscles causes them to be leaner, allowing a faster metabolism and a less flabby physique. - 17274
