Many women know that it s important to include exercise as part of their diet program to lose weight, but most of them don t know which exercise to use and how to do them effectively to produce results. As a personal trainer, I m here to tell you how to use a simple but powerful way to exercise that will help you lose weight, fast!
Exercise is not only important to lose weight, it s vital for your body to function well to keep you healthy. But when it comes to exercising specifically for weight lose the question is: which exercises should you do? If you want to burn fat and tone up your muscles fast, one of the most effective exercises you can do is the push up IF it s done right! The beauty of this exercise is that you don t need any fancy equipment or expensive gear just your body and the right technique will incinerate the fat on your body!
Here s the drill. Clear an area in your room, put down an exercise mat or town and get down on the floor on your knees, stretching your legs straight and feet together. Keep our back and arms straight, with your hands placed apart at about shoulder width. Now here is the important part: lower yourself SLOWLY, until your elbows are at a right angle, pause for the count of five seconds, and then SLOWLY come back up. See, that was easy, it s not complicated! What makes this work is the focus on the timing; doing this exercise slowly increases the stress on the muscles, making them work harder.
What muscles does this work? It exercises your shoulders, your back, your arms... and to deal with the exercise, your body uses up a lot of extra energy. The extra energy used means that your body will burn fat quickly to make up for it. And this leads to quick weight loss. Do a few sets of these every day, and you re well on the way to fast weight loss.
Now if you want to really stick with this exercise the best way to do that is to vary the push up routine. However, if you are just starting your exercise program, start with an easy alternative to the full push up. The half push up is done with the knees bent instead of with straight legs. Simply bend your legs at the knees, and then slowly lower and raise your body. Then as you master this position, you can switch your routine to the full push up or other advanced ways to performing this exercise. Starting with the easier form means that there s less strain and you ll still reap the benefits of weight loss.
For even more of a challenge to the full push up, try adding a little rhythm. In the clap push up, when you get to the point where your arms are straight, push yourself up, clap your hands together quickly, and put your hands back down. This explosion of energy will give you even better results! One of the most difficult variation of the push up is the one handed push up. Watch out, this one is really tough but it s a powerful way to lose weight. In this push up, you put one hand behind your back, and do the push ups like that.
