Toned Abs, Tight Jeans

By Dan Solaris

The fast-food culture people in the Western countries have combined with the hectic schedules that leave little room for daily exercise are causing more and more people to fall victim to obesity. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts the percentage of overweight Americans at 66% and almost half that number already obese.

Indeed, as the pace of life becomes increasingly faster, our waistlines are growing and wearing tight, sexy clothes have ceased to be an option for most folks. Working the daily grind has made it quite difficult to stay in shape these days but not at all impossible if we really put our mind to it.

Exercising consistently, every day if possible, is the most effective weapon against unsightly flab. The multiple benefits we get from regular work-outs make any questions about the value of exercise in fast-paced times like these is a no-brainer.

The elevated metabolism, a more positive mood, stronger immune system and several other health improvements we gain by exercising constantly puts to rest any questions whether making the effort to sweat it out each day is worth it. Another plus factor in working-out (a good one to think about to stay motivated) is being able to wear nicer clothes and look great in public.

Making it a point to exercise everyday also does wonders for our demeanor as it promotes the release of endorphins- chemicals which give us a feeling of being content or even happy. Exercising then goes beyond physical gains and even relieves us of pent-up stress, making us feel better about life.

Nicely toned abs and a better disposition- what better way to offset the ravages of an unhealthy diet and job stress? Having a tight schedule is no excuse because with the right combination of exercises, it's possible to create a daily calorie deficit in just 30 minutes a day.

Cardiovascular exercises have long been known to be the best way to burn calories from body fat, but one needs to keep at it for at least an hour in order to burn enough calories and facilitate fat-loss. For folks whose schedules are packed, intensifying cardio and muscle-building routines will let them reap the same weight-loss benefits for less than an hour each day.

Doing moderate cardio exercises interspersed with periods of high intensity maximizes calorie-burn- enabling us to get out of the gym quicker. The same goes for with doing abdominal exercises and weight training using an exercise ball or similar aid. The effort of trying to stay balanced while doing the reps recruits more muscle groups in activity and this means more caloric energy spent in less time. - 17274
