How To Go From A Keg Belly To A Six Pack
The question is always asked “In order to lose my belly, what is the most efficient way?” Aerobics, strength training, cardio, or intervals?
It would be an understatement to say I have tried them all.
Using laboratory research and training for at least 15 years both for myself and sports I can tell you what exercises work and what don’t.
But first of all, I want to frame my responses. I’m going to talk about what works for people that have a limited amount of time to exercise, mostly because I expect your readers don’t have 90 minutes per day to devote to a workout, unlike the typical audience of a fitness magazine.
Exercise magazines portray that we need 90 minutes to exercise. People don’t have that and disconnect.
You don’t need 6-8 hours/week to exercise. Maybe if your goal is a triathlon you do. But for those of us trying to lose and tone there is still hope.
Therefore to get a better body, you need…
Use bodyweight exercises to warm-up, strength training supersets to build muscle, and then finish your workout with interval training to burn fat in a short amount of time. I’ve structured my system so that you are in and out of the gym in 45 minutes, three times per week.
Warm up using 5 minutes of bodyweight exercise. This will be much more effective than walking on a treadmill. Walking on a tread mill will only get you ready to walk more on a treadmill.
Then we move into the strength training supersets, where we use two exercises performed back to back with minimum rest between each. This cuts our workout time, while still giving us maximum results. We only need 20 minutes for this, and we’ll use basic exercises, and sometimes even more bodyweight exercises, depending on the client’s goal for muscle building.
Finally, 18 minutes of interval training. This will include a warm up, then determined by the client’s fitness level five or six short intervals while switching off with short periods of low intensity recovery.
That will be a much more effective workout than running, cycling, or a cardio machine for 45 min straight. Sure they all burn calories but they don’t build a better body.
In fact, long slow cardio has a downside. We already know results are different. But overusing muscle groups leads to injuries and it is an inefficient form of exercise. When are you going to build your muscles and sculpt that beautiful body if you are on a cardio machine for 30-45 min straight?
So the best way to burn belly fat is with a combination of strength training and interval training. It’s fast, it works, and it’s fun!

Get In Shape At Home With A Yoga Fitness DVD
Relaxation – Endurance – Stress Management – Flexibility
What do all these things have in common? First, they are all things we need to work on improving in our busy Yankee lifestyles. Getting better at these areas has for some time been suggested by health professionals as a method to increase our quality of living, reduce the danger of injury or sickness, and even to live longer!
Second, these are all benefits of working out with yoga – something you can easily do with a yoga fitness DVD at home! Practicing hatha yoga – the physical yoga postures or “asanas” that many of us associate with yoga exercise – is a good way to add muscle, increase the range of motion in our joints, and make a break for calm, balance and relaxation in our daily schedules. Now before you get twitchy that I’m going to go all “transcendental” on you, don’t worry! Though yoga traditionally does include a large amount of non secular, meditative and holistic practices, you can get lots of the benefits of a yoga way of living by just incorporating a little yoga fitness workout routine into your weekly schedule. Whether you can do 60-minutes 3x per week, or squeeze in some Sun Salutations for 15 mins each morning – even a moderate increase in your activity level thru the incorporation of yoga practices can help.
One of the biggest objections many people have about working out with yoga is over the fear that they don’t have time for exercise. Working out at home with a yoga fitness DVD can be a great solution to the problem.
I know your schedule already feels jam-packed and you’re worried you won’t have time for yoga. As a full-time-mom (all parents are full-time in my opinion – you never stop worrying about your kids!) and a business-owner, I find that there are never enough hours in the day to do everything I want to. However, it’s important to prioritize your health and make time for replenishing your body and spirit on a daily basis. Exercise is a great way to do that. When you work out at home with a yoga fitness DVD, you can squeeze in your exercise whenever you have time. Before dawn when the house is quiet, when the kids are napping or the family’s watching TV downstairs, or even as a family activity that encourages everyone in the household to be active and share time together.
Another concern that many people have about yoga exercise is that it might be more than we are able to afford. Yoga has essentially enjoyed a period of “trendiness” latterly and with yoga classes growing up all over the country at select fitness centers and studios, it’s simple to see how yoga has gotten the name for being expensive. However, remember that yoga was developed by ascetics in some of the most impoverished areas of the Earth. You have got more than they do re material possessions – if they can do it, you can do. Although you do not “need” anything to practice yoga, and you can even learn it free with some workout videos from the library or picture books that show you step by step what to do, I advise that you begin with 2 essentials : A yoga mat to enhance your comfort and safety while doing the poses, and a good instructional yoga video to lead you through a workout or two that you can follow and enjoy again and again.
For the cost of a class or 2 at the local yoga studio, you can get everything you need to workout at home. Besides the yoga workout DVD, you may want to pick up a yoga mat, or some lovable yoga garments, but these are not required to get started.
I encourage you to look into yoga exercise as a total body workout, or a supplement to your existing health regimen.
