I’ve Had it With My Fat Abs!

Victoria,

I was watching TV and I saw an ad about belly fat and I was wondering if it is as dangerous as the ad said. You know that they just want to sell you a bunch of expensive pills and then they tell you, you don’t have to exercise and you can eat whatever you want.

I have a big round belly and I hate it. I hate my fat abs and I want to do something that works. It’s not so much buying the pills that worries me, it’s a waste of my time and money and still never being able to sit down without my stomach resting in my lap. I feel really self-conscious. It seems that the fat is getting lumpier by the day.

What is the truth and what can I do to get rid of this stuff?

Or will it just be another year of everybody but me?

Who are you going to be this year? Who are you going to believe this year? The people who will help you and show you the way or the people who sabotage you and make you feel guilty?

Who are you going allow to help you become GREAT?

You know there is more to this life and your mere existence of just getting b. You know that you want to look, feel and be better. It is part of God’s design for you to seek a higher, more beautiful way to look and live.

Blasting Belly Fat

What exactly is belly fat?

Fatty tissue which is stored around the stomach and abdomen which is called visceral fat and intra-abdominal carries a greater health risk than fat located in the lower body around the butt and thighs.

Is Fat around Your Midsection Unhealthy?

Yes, Yes and oh yeah did I say….YES!
Location…Location….Location!
Fat on Your Abdomen is more dangerous than fat on other parts of your body.

SO basically you can have a fat rear end and not have half the health risks as the person with belly fat. If you only have “love handles” — those are composed of fat near the surface of the skin. It’s the visceral fat that wraps around organs deeper in the abdomen that appears to be metabolically active.

People with a high degree of belly fat tend to lose sensitivity to insulin, a crucial hormone that helps the body burn energy. When insulin loses its power, the body responds by pumping out more of the hormone, which only throws the system further off balance.

As a result, people with extra belly fat are vulnerable to many problems such as insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome. The syndrome affects an estimated 70 million to 80 million Americans and comes with a frightening number of potential complications. AAAHHH!!!  You need to learn the Truth About Abs and losing belly fat once and for all.

Practice Calorie Control

This is the hardest part of all my suggestions. When I got started in my quest for physical improvement I didn’t even really know that I had to be so disciplined and specific about what I ate. Here is a basic formula to create a caloric plan that will help you lose fat and reduce cellulite.

Abdominal Training- You Don’t Have to Re-Invent The Wheel

When I was in grade school my mom bought an abdominal wheel. It was a piece of super training equipment advertised on TV for toning your upper body and shaping your abs.

Unlike many of the fitness gadgets that are promoted today, this product does what it says and is and was worth every penny. I used it all through high school. It was my secret weapon for having a strong upper body. I could do hand stands quick hand springs because of the strength I built.

My mom was always reading about diets and equipment and got me totally into it too.

I was probably six when I first pulled it from under her bed when she was shopping and not around. I grabbed it and started to rolling. The first couple of times I rolled all the way to the ground and almost lost my two front teeth as I hit the floor. I literally bit the dust.

Being a typical kid, I was not giving up. I clamped my little hands around the handles and tried it again. After a few more rolls I got it. Once I mastered it, I continued to use it until I left for college.

You see, I don’t think we have to always try to reinvent the wheel so to speak when it comes to training. I use traditional exercises when I develop a program for myself and my clients. Although I don’t use an abdominal wheel today, I have valued greatly from the foundational strength and conditioning I got from it.

Just because we learn something new does not mean we abandon everything that came before it. I was training for aerobic competitions and my abs were ripped and I was strong in my center, my upper and lower back were strong and flexible. I had not heard of pilates, yet I was kicking butt in the competitions and at the beach!
