The best way to get rid of those trouble spots. Trouble spots are
those pesky areas such as your hips, inner thighs, love handles, and
behind the arms.
Most of us have them and they seem impossible to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as spot reduction; only plastic
surgeons have the ability to do that for us. Yet their are some great
ways of reducing the appearance of our imperfections.
A good aerobic routine with a healthy clean diet will give the
results you wish for. This sounds easier then what it is because for
most of we burn ourselves out after a couple dedicated weeks of strong
cardio exercise. We can not let this happen because perfection will not
come over night. The most effective cardio for this specific fitness
goal would be low intensity long duration cardio. An example of this
would be to exercise between 60 and 75 percent of your (MHR). The best
way to calculate your intensity and the amount of calories you burn is
by a heart rate monitor. To find your maximum heart rate (MHR) subtract
your age from 220, then multiply by 60 then 70 percent. Between these
two numbers is your fat- burning zone.
The duration of your cardio workout should be about 45 to 75
minutes, five to six times a week. Although if you are just starting
out gradually work up to this. Another very important part of fat loss
is diet. Start eating healthy portion controlled meals four to five
times a day. By doing this you will jump start your metabolism and
increase your natural fat burning ability. Stay consistent and be
patient, you will see results. |
