Lose Abdominal Fat With Weight Training and Aerobics

If you want to burn off more abdominal fat, do intense weight workouts followed by 30 minutes of aerobics.

According to researchers from East Carolina University, weight training increased subcutaneous (fat under the skin) abdominal fat oxidation and promoted whole-body fat burning during and after exercise. A good form of intense weight exercise would be circuit training.

Circuit training involves performing each exercise with little or no rest between exercises. Japanese researchers showed that intense weight exercise uses stored carbohydrates which forces the body to use more fats during aerobic exercise. This is just one more case for combining weight exercise with aerobic exercise.

Exercise When You Can

There are no excuses for not exercising! Take advantage of the free time you have during the day and exercise. Doing two separate cardio sessions for 15 minutes each (or 3 sessions for 10 minutes each) gives you the same calorie burn as one 30 minute session.

So, go ahead and walk during your breaks at work! This will get you started and progressing to higher-intensity exercise.

Youth Exercise Cost A Little Money and A Lot of Effort

It doesn't cost much money for our youth to start exercising every day. They don't even need to be on a sports team or club.

Concentration should be on exercises that encourage core strength, balance, flexibilty and muscle endurance. Many of these exercises require little else but their body weight and their effort.

Examples are circuit jump roping, squats, lunges, single-leg squats, single-leg squat touchdowns, pushups, pullups, bridges, supergirls and ladder drill exercises.

So You're 40? What Should Be Your Exercise Focus?

Generally, at about age 40, maintaining bone mass density and improving coordination and balance should become more of a focus during your training.

Weight lifting continues to be important during this stage of life but aerobic training may become lower-impact. Balance and coordination can be improved by doing stability ball exercises and one-leg/one-arm standing exercises.
