We all want it! Men and women alike, flat but firm abs is a dream to everyone, especially those into the IT and banking industries. However, for that chiseled look, men have to go a few extra miles and most women would want anything but making their respective tummies a playground for muscles. Therefore, getting started on the initial exercises shall leave you with enough room to think later what you want to do with a ground that’s ploughed, sprinkled with fertilizers and been prepared for cultivation. Well, figuratively; however, you also need to unlearn first all the methods that you tried in vain all these years to reduce your belly fat.
That translates straight to doing crunches. Contrary to the popular belief, crunches are meant for toning up the muscles of the abs (those what you call the six-packs) and not for decreasing that beer belly. Toning comes later; unless you get rid of the fat, all your efforts shall be wasted, as the abs muscles shall stay hidden beneath the fat layers. To make them come out in the broad daylight, you need to burn the calories – the fat, which are nothing but energy reserves for energy.
At this point, you must get the theories right. Exercises are divided into two broad categories – aerobic and anaerobic. The first type is dependent on free oxygen or air, while the other one – as the name suggests – is marked by absence of free oxygen i.e. it creates the energy by breaking down the intercellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate, a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions). Aerobic exercises are thus much better in comparison when you need to break down the fat reserves of the body. The process is triggered by the process of oxidizing – as the definition goes – addition of oxygen to a compound with a loss of electrons, which always occurs accompanied by reduction.
All right, we cleared till this much; the next question is on the frequency of the workouts. Aerobic exercises, for just twice (remember, that’s the minimum you require) a week is enough to deliver to you a moderate success. It’s not that you need to dress up in special costumes and confine yourself for an hour-long session inside some classroom, but it can be as easy as a brisk walk, dancing to your favorite tune, a few kilometers of cycling; if you like water sports, then you may also consider rowing and swimming. The best schedule has been found out to be a combination of jogging, cycling, rowing and swimming; however, not all of us has a great deal of stamina to get going with all four right from the beginning. Thus, the best way to achieve substantial results is to keep one exercise a day, starting with 15 minutes and extending the time limit to 45 minutes over a month long span; once you gather enough stamina to sustain yourself comfortably, try a combination of any two in a day.
But there lies the hitch; such exercises can transform you into an absolute glutton; sweating out does have its own vices! No, you don’t need to starve, but always watch what you eat. A nutrition/diet specialist shall be able to suggest you the food that shall nourish you properly during this phase, supply you with the required calories but shall stop further accumulation of fat. And if you want to go the herbal way, as a supplement, go for a combination of Boerhavia and Tribulus Terrestris (500-mg. of each a day) along with the workouts to gain the fantastic results.
