Body Fat

Posted on April 10th, 2009 by josh in Overall Fitness

The one thing many people don’t consider when trying to get abs is body fat percentage, always remember your diet along with exercise is a big part in building a healthy lifestyle. You can do sit ups and crunches all day long, but if you do not have a proper body fat percentage, it is all for nothing. Your abs will not really start to show until you get your body fat percentage down. This is very achievable if you watch your diet and increase your exercise. Add an additional resistance session with your trainer, or pick up a little cardio on the weekends. You can do this at home without fancy gym equipment. This is a quick, simple and effective way to reach your goals.

Most of the information you have learned with regards to getting a flatter stomach is more times than not, wrong. Crunches are not as effective as you are led to believe. Don’t get me wrong, they do help, but not in the way you have been told. If you want to flatten your stomach, you need to do full body workouts. Full body workouts are great because almost all exercises involve your abs and they will benefit greatly. Remember proper nutrition and a little exercise will lower your body fat percentage, as well get you those abs. The main key, as always, is to increase your exercise output!

    Would you chance to know if it is’s safe to lift weights while trying to lose weight? I have made it my new years resolution so I am trying to stay with it.

    Of course you can do that, in fact I would suggest you do that. Muscle is the only thing known to burn fat.
    Keep in mind that the more muscle you have the more fat you burn.
    However, muscle also weighs more than fat, so you will have the appearance of looking thinner and you will go down in sizes, but your overall weight may not drop.
    Most importantlt, only lift weights in a supervised environment.

    Good luck!

    Not so much you can do but to mark it as spam. It has a lot tp do with the coding of the site and safe domains. Research that and see what you come up with.

    WordPress. But customized to the fullest.

    Cosistency, and patience should always be held in high regard when using traditional workoput materials. In all actuality our own bodies in combination with gravity allow for enough resistance to obtain a full body workout. Please be more specific so I may elaborate on this subject.

    I Liked reading this post. Quite some usefull fitness info in it for me :) . And after reading this i think you will really like the book Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. To me this is like the health and fitness bible. Last year i lost almost 25 pounds and gained an inch on my arms in 12 weeks. What you describe here does resemble the book a bit, but there is so much more! I added the link in my name so you dont have to search for it ;) . Again, nice post and i hope you keep it up!

    If you are truly serious about losing weight, you need to make serious, life-long lifestyle changes which are practical – and healthy! But eating the amount you intend to, your body isn’t getting nearly enough nutrients, or calorie intake thus will go into starvation mode and horde every calorie; your metabolism will be wrecked, and you will end up right back at square one.
