‘abdominal fat’

Doing sit-ups in two days to improve performance

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

For the summer we all want to look enviable figure with a waist fat-free and fully toned. This often costs a lot to get us. Viton and we know the maximum memory that are three, diet, aerobic exercise and abdominal. So we’ll stop in the third, abdominal work, which most of us do not give it the importance and we do mean and ill because of lack of time. To avoid this we are going to propose to divide the work abdominal muscles abdominal areas.

The abdominal wall is one of the most powerful muscle groups and large body, which presents several areas, the bottom half, the upper and obliques. All these areas should be tackled with the same impact to allow an appropriate balance in the abdominals. Many people only do one type of exercise to be more operational and faster in training. A very common bug that will not help us develop the abdomen as it should.

Viton what we propose is designed exercises to work every area in itself and more focused on it, but to meet the needs of each user should better be divided into two days so as to leave no party without work and to do so profound and effective. To begin, we must be clear that we must be consistent when two days working on the muscles of the abdomen. If we do this so we fall into the same error as always and worked only part of the abs to the detriment of others.

The way to separate the exercises will be done the first day, those affecting the lower abdomen and midsection. On the second day that we will train the upper abdomen and obliques. This way of working will allow us to perform more than an exercise area, thereby improving the degree of intensity and mobility of this part of the body, which will translate into more muscle strength and definition in this part, besides being a great help us in planning our time in training routines. This way to train abs take us very little time and help us train them properly.

Why sleep disorders affect our body weight

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

More and more studies associate the weight gain to sleep loss. Experts recommend that adults sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night to stabilize a healthy body weight. Why should we sleep to maintain a healthy weight? One theory is that lack of sleep disrupts hormones such as leptin and insulin, that regulate appetite and body weight. But an appetite that goes awry and benchmarks to manage the weight disappear, it can grow.

Narcolepsy

Another scientific explanation suggests that deprivation of sleep leaves us too tired to exercise. It is well known that to lose weight and stabilize the weight lost, it does not follow a balanced diet and healthy, we must also exercise regularly (4 or 5 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time).

Moreover, as lack of sleep can disturb our mood (making us uncomfortable or irritable for example), we tend to look to food for our spirits up. We eat when our emotions, without being able to control our portions, and this can cause weight gain.

Genes and saturated fat cause stomach

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

abdominal fatThere is a possible link between genes that are inherited and size of the abdomen, followed a study.

The researchers followed the 1.754 French for seven years and a half, and recorded what they ate. Found that having any of five genetic particularities doubled the risk that an individual had abdominal obesity, and eating lots of saturated fat raised the risk even more.

However, we also found that having a genetic particularities did not raise the risk of metabolic syndrome. The study examined the metabolic syndrome, a condition in which abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure together increase the risk of several diseases, including stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Furthermore, it was noted that although the study found a relationship between genes and abdominal obesity in some subjects the intake of saturated fat accounted for over 15.5 percent of total calories. The current recommendation is ten percent for most healthy people and seven percent for those with high cholesterol and other metabolic risk factors for heart disease, he said. (more…)
