I know I have been lacking on Wisdom Wednesday but as they say in the MBC charge it to my head and not my heart. However I did want to share this info that I found about Aerobics. I read an article that stated that Aerobic exercise is the most successful way to burn belly fat. Belly fat is associated with increased risks for heart disease, cancers and diabetes. So besides looking great in a two piece you may be able to prevent certain diseases. Apparently there was a study done for 8 month at Duke University in which they had adults participate in aerobics, weight training or a mixture of both. Aerobic activity had a better benefit in many areas that resistance training had little effect on. That is good news to me because I don’t want to be a body builder I just want to look good in a knee length skirt and a tank. The training programs were demanding but the study stated that the same results could be gotten with moderate activity. According to my research HIIT cardio which stands for High Intensity Interval Training is the best for losing belly fat. An example of HIIT that I got from BurnmybellyFat.com is to do the following:
- 2-3 Minutes of medium pace running
- 1-2 minutes of high pace running (push yourself here)
- 2-3 minutes of fast walking
- 1 minute of sprinting
- 2-3 minutes of medium pace running
- 2-3 minutes of high pace running
- 2-3 minutes of walking
So just doing the above mentioned will only take at the least 12 mins so you can do it twice plus some light stretching and be done in 30mins. In addition to running; cycling, swimming, jump roping, kickboxing, and walking/hiking are also good ways to burn that belly fat. Starting Sunday I am going to try the above exercise regimen and I will let you know how I feel and if I see or feel any kind of difference in my belly on next Thursdays post. I will measure myself just so it will be accurate.
