The Quickest Path To A Flat Stomach
I have struggled with my weight ever since I stopped regular competitive sport. The sudden reduction in exercise and effects of growing older saw my waist grow from thirty inches to thirty six inches in less than a year. I literally became a fat bloke over night.
That was ten years ago, and ever since my weight has fluctuated up and down as I’ve gone through fanatical fitness phases and then back to incredibly lazy periods, it’s easy to get drawn in to the latter as time goes by!
I have over the years perfected my own program for getting back into shape quickly, I literally lose most of my excess fat and build muscle in only a few weeks. So how do I go about losing my belly fat?
The first thing that has to change is my diet. I absolutely love junk food and take-aways. Just like most people, I simply love the things that are bad for me; beer and fries to name just a couple. Once I am on a quest for a flat stomach these are all removed from my diet immediately. I replace them with a balanced diet of natural meals, avoiding as far as possible processed foods.
What is important is that I don’t have to starve myself to lose weight and I don’t diet in the conventional sense. I just focus on eating the right things in moderation, being careful to ensure that my daily calorie intake is less than the number of calories I burn each day. Lots of fruit, vegetables, fish and lean meats.
My weekly program also includes regular exercise.Two or three aerobic workouts every week, all running. I find running burns more calories than most other exercises, you can keep your fancy exercise machines, stick to basics.The last element of my program is weight training, I do just one session per week!
I work all of my main muscle groups with heavy weight, low repetition lifts targeted to stimulate maximum muscle growth (including my abdominals). I then allow the muscles a full week to recover and grow stronger, something most amateurs fail to do.
