Getting rid of tummy bloating is simple: just combine a sound diet and exercise regime.
What about “fat loss pills?”
Don’t waste your money on them. Many TV infomercials make it sound as if you can just pop their pill and instantly start losing fat. While they might aid you in your efforts, they will make no difference at all if you don’t exercise or eat healthy.
What are they designed to do?
Most simply help you retain the water from your foods a bit better. This gives you more energy when you exercise. You might see a 5% increase in your workout performance, but that’s about it.
In other words, no pill will be the difference between success and failure. If you want results it will require exercise.
And diet makes a big difference as well.
Quite simply, you can’t eat fast food everyday and expect to get toned, even if you have the perfect workout regime. Why make it harder than it needs to be?
The only people who exercise enough to overcome their lousy eating habits are professional athletes. They are simply so active that they are able to stay in shape despite what they eat. But for most people this isn’t possible.
So what are the best workouts? Body core and Pilates are great starting points. Here are two of the best:
Exercise ball abs crunches
This may be among one of the top exercises there is. Start with your feet firmly on the ground.
Then lay backwards on the exercise ball to the point where your thighs are parallel to the floor. You should almost be on you back at this point. Make sure your lower and middle back are being supported by the ball.
Then gradually lift your abs to forty five degrees and then back down. In other words, you are doing a standard crunch while on an exercise ball. This has proven to workout more muscles in the abs section than regular crunches, so it might be slightly more effective.
Vertical leg crunch
Start out laying on your back facing upward. Then lift your legs straight up toward the ceiling. The knees don’t have to be locked; in fact they should be a little flexed. From this position, proceed to do a normal crunch.
And while your hands should be behind your head, make sure you aren’t pulling with them. Many people end up with long term neck pain from this.
What about cardio?
While this has its place, it’s far from the most effective method of burning fat. In fact, when compared with body core and Pilates exercises it doesn’t come close.
Conclusion: make body core and Pilates the bulk of your routine and you should see rapid fat loss quite quickly.
