Fat Loss And Core Strength - Start With Trunk And Legs
With the long list of things of things we have to do everyday- commute, work, social and leisure activities, it’s extremely difficult for a lot of people to squeeze-in a regular exercise schedule. Perhaps this explains why over 60% of North Americans are carrying around excess body fat from lack of physical activity.
The food industry’s successful production of fast gastronomic fare that more often than not fills-up our system with empty calories isn’t making things easier on our bellies either. Buckets of greasy chicken and calorie-loaded shakes are available to us round the clock and they’re taking their toll on our figures.
Like it or not, the fast food culture is here to stay and it’s up to us to practice self-control and stuff our faces with healthier alternatives. Replacing our favorite dip chips with fruits and nuts, mayonnaise with mustard or catsup and yogurt desserts instead of ice cream can do wonders. However, burning-off the excess calories by making it a point to exercise consistently is the most effective weapon to quickly eliminate excess body fat.
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.
Aside from the proven fat-busting benefits of cardio exercises, increasing the body’s BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate by increasing muscle mass is another way of improving our body’s ability to burn calories effectively. We can actually modify traditional cardio and weight training to maximize the usage of caloric energy and shorten our workout sessions significantly.
Involving the most number of muscle groups in a workout will multiply the amount of calories used up and doing core exercises that strengthen the trunk and legs is perfect for that. When the upper and lower abs, the lumbar, oblique and leg muscles are working together, such as lifting weights while trying to balance on the uneven surface of a Bosu ball, you can bet you’re using-up way more energy than if you were on a flat surface.
There are several ways to engage our base muscles and speed-up fat-loss in our workouts. Standing on one foot, while doing curls and presses, or using a Swiss ball as a platform in abdominal exercises will result in instability. The effort made by the core muscles in keeping the body steady results in a more intense workout, a more stable base and ultimately speedier fat loss.
