Now, I know I’m not the only person in the world with a stubborn belly! The main part of my body that is oversized is definately my stomach, and although it’s slimmed a little through exercise, it’s taking it’s time to go away!
I’ve read lots of articles about Green Tea helping to reduce stomach fat when keeping up healthy eating and exercise. I usually have one cup of tea every other day on average, so I’m not a big tea drinker. But I thought to myself that I would try swapping my PG Tips for Green Tea for a while and see how it goes!
So, I’m going to try drinking one cup of Green tea every day or every other day for at least 2 months, keep up the exercise and healthy eating and see what the results are. I must say, I’m excited to see if green Tea will really make a difference some people claim!
I’ve also read many times that crunches and sit ups alone are not going to do the job when it comes to getting rid of those tubby tummies. Of course, they will help to a certain extent, but it’s best to concentrate on full body cardio to shed the fat. So instead of doing 40 sit ups and 10 minutes on a cross trainer or tread mill, go for 10-20 sit ups and then more time on the cross trainer or tread mill. I’ve also started to apply this to my own work out routines. I’ll do 10 sit ups and 30 minutes on the cross trainer in each session after work.
Also, if your tummy is the main area you want to work, but you also want to use weights in your workout routine, do the weights first every time. It’s something I have learned from a lot of trainers and physiotherapists recently that if you do weights after your cardio workout, your natural strength is hindered considerably and you won’t benefit from the weights workout nearly as much in comparison with doing weights before your cardio. You also create higher risk of injury as your muscles are more fatigued after a cardio workout and doing weights will strain your muscles more.
Lastly, one more little tip…stop slouching! I’m terrible for slouching when I’m typing at the computer *promptly sits up whilst typing!* and when sitting in front to the television. When sitting up properly, it really has made a difference to the way my stomach feels and also how it looks! I feel less sluggish and my back feels more stimulated. I’ve also been trying to improve my posture when walking, like not locking my knees when standing and keeping my back straight and relaxed when walking and standing. It has certainly helped to improve aches and pains, but it’s hard to get into the habit!
