In a previous article "Lose Stomach Fat - It is a Mindset" we addressed the issues of mindset, motivation and approach in order to lose stomach fat. The article ended with cutting the junk food and planning meals.
It is that meal planning that we need to highlight in more detail. For the rest of your meals, focus on the following. Start by cutting portion sizes so you reduce calories in (Obvious to some but not to others). Try to replace grain products with fruits and vegetables - this will help cut calories - simply by volume, you just can't easily eat as many calories from fruits and vegetables as you can from whole-grains.
Start reading the nutrition information on the products you buy. Look at the number of calories, salt, fat etc.. Plan, shop, and prepare on the weekend and one night during the week so that you are never without your planned meal. Remember, we're only talking about four weeks plan here. Not the rest of your life.
So stick to some sacrifices and focus on the big day or week or summer ahead. All of this is getting your mind set right that will enable you to embark on the exercise aspect of wanting to lose stomach fat. Once you’re convinced that you’re on the right track then you can start training workouts.
Every training workout or exercise period you embark on should start with a general warm-up. The main purpose of the warm-up is to specifically prepare your muscles for action.
You are going to put your muscles through some action in a bid to lose stomach fat or lose weight in general. A good place to start every workout is with a general, total body circuit. When putting together total-body workouts and warm-ups, think about the four hot zones on the body. You have to address all four hot zones with exercises in the warm-up. The hot zones are:
a) Back of Legs
b) Upper Back
c) Chest
d) Abdominals
Now we are ready to address that other aspect of trying to lose stomach fat. Lets get onto training and exercise. You'll do three days of total body strength training per week. Here is a strength workout formula to follow:
- 5-minute bodyweight warm-up circuit
- first superset of the most difficult exercises, performed for 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions (you could even use explosive exercises here)
- second superset of moderate difficulty exercises, performed for 3-4 sets of 8 repetitions (I look at this as the "bodybuilding" superset)
- third superset features high rep bodyweight or dumbbell exercises.
- once per week spend 10-15 minutes on abdominal training
- rotate the main superset to focus on different muscle groups each workout, so that in workout 1 of the week, you might focus on upper body pressing, while in workout 2, you'd switch to lower body, and in workout 3, upper body pulling.
You will have gathered by now that the workout above is from a recognized successful workout or exercise program. The Turbulence training program is such a program and you can lose stomach fat with their Revolutionary Turbulence training fat loss system.
