Love Your Figure Again: Stomach Pt.2♥

So your doing crunches and your watching what you eat but you still can't seem to get rid of the fat pouch that you call your stomach!

Belly fat is the hardest thing to get rid of......BUT it is possible.

The key is CARDIO, CARDIO, CARDIO; Not crunches and abs exercises.

I say this only because Cardio exercises (jogging, bicycling, stair stepping, dancing, etc.) burns fat while ab exercises strengthens your abdominal muscles....so even if you do 100 crunches a day, you won't see your six pack if it's hidden under the fat! You have to combine A HEALTHY DIET, WITH REGULAR CARDIO, AND A COUPLE SETS OF AB EXERCISES PER WEEK.

The best and most effective way to get a flatter stomach is to exercise at the proper intensity. Your workouts should be challenging. You should feel your heart pumping faster and you should build up a sweat. Try to maintain a good intensity for at least 20 minutes to kick in to your fat burning zone!

Nikki Tip: After cardio do 3 sets of 20 crunches and 3 sets of 15 squats to maintain a sexy figure.
PEACE :) NIKKI♥

Love Your Figure Again: Stomach Pt.1♥

Many of us tend to gain weight in our stomachs. It sucks because it's hard to get rid of and it DOES NOT compliment our figures.

Wikipedia says that in practice only 8% of women have hour glass figures and that became very obvious to me as I looked around today and noticed bulging belly's on the majority of women I saw.

So what can we do to stop secretly drooling over the great, fit, curvy, toned, and tamed figures we see strutting around all over television.....well lets start with turning off the T.V lol. ♥

Secondly you will have to get serious about being active throughout the day and eating smaller and healthier portions of food. You will see a reduction in belly fat when you start burning more calories than you take in everyday.

Go to this website and use the Women's calorie calculator to find out how many calories you should be taking in per day based off of your desired weight: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm

I will follow up with another post shortly, but lets deal with one thing at a time. You can and you will obtain a body you can be proud of on a beach, in a sexy sleek dress, and naked in the shower. It's all up to you.

kisses Nikki :)
