Getting rid of "spare tire" and minor beer gut question? |
Ok, started a walking routine about 8 months ago, basically just a brisk 30 minute walk, 6 days a week, sometimes stationary bike instead. It's worked well, slimmed down very well, was always thin-framed anyway. But I still can't get rid of the spare tire and minor "beer gut." I guess situps would work for the beer gut, which I don't really want to do, but what about the spare tire syndrome? A good way to tone up the "spare tire" area is to do some good old-fashioned windmills. The trick is when you turn side to side pretend as if you are pushing a heavy weight to add resistance. Working out with weights is also a good way to tone the area. Hold the weight at your side, lift the weight slowly in an arching motion over your head and to the side, bend your body sidewaysand reach as far as you can until you feel the stretch in your side. Push the weight using the strength from your side muscles . When you are extended as far as you can go, hold for 10- 15 seconds. Do 20 reps on each side 3 times. I promise it will help to trim down those cute little love handles! :) I hope you can understand the directions. It's hard to explain without a demonstration! Well doing sit up's won't really get rid of any fat around the stomach area. Just working out the area where you want to loose weight is known as 'spot reduction' and does not work. It may help to build some extra muscle in the area, which is good for weight loss though. I would suggest doing more cardio. The abdominal area is the hardest area in males to get rid of weight because it is the first area for fat to be deposited. Just work really hard at it. im 14 and the during weightlifting for football we work on plios also.through that i lost alot of weight and gained a six pack, so through that u could lose wut u want and gain more than wut u wanted =] these are some exercised we do to work out our stomach/abs bycicle - lay on ur back, but lift ur shoulderblades in the air. interlock ur fingers behind ur head. 1) touch ur right elbow to ur left knee while ur right leg is completly straight. hold it for about two seconds. then 2) do the same but opposite side. 3) same as one 4) same as 2. this is ONE. repeat steps 1-4, it is then TWO. go up to 10-20. superman - lay on your belly. lift every body part off of the air, so ur only laying on your hips. try to get them higher and higher. after twenty seconds rest. V-ups--- lay on your back. lift your legs straight up in the air and keep your knees straight! touch your hands to your toes so its its pretty much a sit up but with legs in the air(its more effectice than a sit up). do this 25-30 times(u can go more if u feel like u want to) V-sit---- lift your legs 15INCHES off of the ground and hover them there. hover your back slightly off of the ground and extend your arms forward. stay in this position for 1 min. or lower and work your way up with every day/week. forearm hover- position your elbows in 90 degree angels. and rest your forearms on the ground and your toes on the ground. the only thing that should be holding you up are you toes and your forearms. stay in this position for 1:30. EXERCISES WITH MEDICINE BALLS. lay on your back. put a lightweight medicine ball inbetween your ankles and a normal one between your hands(hold it lol) do a v-up but with your legs starting from the ground. 10 of these is torture enough for me. (u need a parter for this) sit on the ground and hover your back 45-60 degrees from the ground. hover and cross your legs off of the ground(its imperitive that you keep them hovering). have a parter toss you the medicine ball. now you turn your shoulders and touch it to the ground once. toss it back to him. he tosses it to you. this time you touch one side, then the other. the toss it back. so basically 1 time, then 2 times, then 3 times, and so on until you reach 10, then work your way back down to 1. do these every other day =] hope this helped =] there is no such thing as spot reduction so just keep doing cardio for 40-50min at least 4 days a week. sit ups will make it bigger. |
