Being severely overweight is now considered an ‘epidemic’ in the U.S.A., with 33% of people in the U.S. considered overweight and an astonishing 10% considered obese. Much of this is due to the fluctuation in the American diet in the last forty years, with the rise of prepackaged foods, and a hustling work ethic that says it’s better to eat lunch at your cubicle and skip exercising.
We sleep in the bed we make, and in no area is that more prevelant than in the realm of health and fitness. Most people in the U.S. are carrying too much cellulite around the midriff, and trying to drop cellulite in trouble spots is hard. The general attempts at burning fat boil down to supplements, diet, and exercise.
Weight loss supplements usually promise to make you lose weight either in general or in specific locations - you’ve seen the internet ads for fat burning supplements. Diets work in the short term, when you need to fit into a specific outfit, but most of the weight loss from diets is temporary without making a severe lifestyle change in how you deal with food.
Exercise (and watching your diet) is the secret to getting your waist under control. Most of the practical workouts that rid you of fat focus on the abdominal muscles first and foremost. This is partly the reason why there’s such a huge market for the ‘ab-gadget’ on infomercials. By building up the strength of the abdominal muscles (and the lower back muscles to complement them) you’re building what’s called core body strength.
The simplest form of abdominal workouts start with the beloved crunch - put your knees up at a 90 degree angle (so you don’t use your hip flexors to torque up) and cross your arms across your chest, and raise up until your elbows meet your knees. Do this in moderation at first - it’s very easy to overdo it. The goal is to do a set of 5 at a time, rest, do another set of 5 and repeat. As this gets easier, hold a weight to your chest while you do it. Do this every other day, and on the off days, take time to walk or run, or do yoga to keep your muscles loose.
As you work out your core body, especially after you’ve added some weight to your crunches, start doing other exercises - shoulder lifts and shrugs with a dumbbell in each hand will work off of the core exercises you’ve been doing with your abs, and help tone up your chest and shoulders, giving you an overall sculpted look.
