How To Get Rid of Belly Fat - Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions
Stubborn belly fat - how to remove it from your list of Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions?
Reducing belly fat remains one of the most difficult Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions for many people and it is amazing how it continues to be in the list year in, year out.
Now most people will say lose weight in their new year’s resolutions. However, I would rather say lose that stubborn belly fat instead. Why? Because there is no way you will have abs if you are unfit. You will get better results by focussing your effort on removing that stubborn belly fat and for sure, you will lose weight in the process too.
Now you may wonder whether there is really any way to finally tick off stubborn belly fat from appearing again in your Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions next year?
Well the answer is an absolute yes…
What you need are three simple steps - Mindset, Nutrition and Workouts.
Let’s tackle Mindset/Motivation. Now almost everyone who failed to get rid of belly fat and take it off their list of Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions did not do this correctly. Remember this is the most important step.
Go ahead and do this now:
1.Imagine exactly what you want (such as how energized you want to feel, how you want your body to look etc)
2.Really want what you are going to do
3.Be specific and list down the goals you want to achieve (such as the hours to set aside every single week for workouts, the time period to achieve your goals, the type of food you want to skip)
4.Tell yourself you can reach your goals
Once your mindset is set right, you have to deal with nutrition next. Understand this - nutrition is much more important than your exercises. Why you might ask? Well simple put, if all you eat are junk foods, there is absolutely no workouts out there that can remove the junk you put in.
The simple guide about Nutrition is to eat healthy, natural foods.
So avoid any processed foods and go for natural foods such as meats, fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts.
Now if you have been eating foods with healthy labels such as low fat, low sugar, diet or slim and think you are doing a mighty fine job of eating healthily, then you are in for a rude shock. These so called “health foods” are nothing more than a marketing gimmick to ride on the health trends. They are still processed foods and no less unhealthy as those without these labels (and way more expensive too).
And whatever you do, just give fast foods a fast getaway. Don’t eat them. Your healthy eating starts at the grocery store and the more you educate yourself about food labels, the better off you are. Watch out for transfats and give it a wide berth.
Once you are more conscious of what you eat, you can then focus on your workouts. Now most people have the wrong idea of what a great workout is supposed to be. You need to reprogram your mind for this.
Most people have the mistaken idea that a great workout means long cardio exercises. Heck most fitness trainers told you so too. However, long cardios are not the ideal workout if you want to lose fat, which is what you need to do if you want to reduce belly fat. Cardios gives you constant heart rate which is not good for burning fat. You need workouts that give you a range of heart rates instead.
So what is a good fat burning workout? Skipping. If you skip fast for say 30 seconds and take a rest to recover your breathing and skip fast again for another 30 seconds, you will be burning a lot more fat than extended cardio workouts. The great thing about it is that you only need ten to 15 minutes of this intense workout to do the trick.
One of the reasons many people failed to remove their stubborn fat is because they got bored with the workouts. Don’t keep doing the same exercises all the time. Inject variety in your routines. Change skipping to swimming or sprinting or cycling. Variety means fun and fun means you will enjoy your workouts and make working out a habit.
Yes it is as simple as that. Just 3 steps to reduce belly fat and meet one of your goals in your Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions!
