Melt Body Fat Slowly

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009


Lose the weight fast, gain it back. Lose the weight slowly, keep it off for a lifetime. The power is in your hands to control how you take off excess body fat.

When you learn how to melt body fat slowly, you also learn more about yourself. Your body has time to make some adjustments to the  changes you need to make to be successful in your fat loss efforts. Just as your body mass expanded and your body adjusted to it, the same applies as you reduce your body mass.

The three methods described in the video above will result in the removal of unwanted body fat over a period of time. More time spent applying the right principles, the better you become at reducing fat and  keeping the fat from returning.

Functional Strength

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009


Performing core exercises is a whole lot more than doing crunches.

Crunches are great, but if you can strengthen your abdominal muscles while you are also doing other exercises, you increase your physical fitness level faster. An  exercise such as the exercise demonstrated in the video above requires the use of many muscles.

Muscles being used includes the obliques (love handles), latissimus dorsi (back), biceps/triceps (upper arms), gluteus maximus (buns), adductors (inner thighs), quadriceps/hamstrings (thighs) and the flexors and extensors of the lower arms.

Exercises that help you work many muscles at the same time are rated as high value exercises. These types of exercises also help you improve your balance, flexibility and coordination in addition to increasing your functional strength.

As you grow older,  functional strength can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life.
