4 Effective Tips to Melt Away Unwanted Fat And Sculpt Muscle

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
John Graham Baines asked:


1 - Choose the right exercises for your fitness level

Choosing the right exercises for your fitness level is key to losing weight. You simply can’t go to the gym and straight away pile on pounds of steel on the barbell or select the highest speed and resistance on the treadmill. You should take it slow so that your body can adapt easily and to avoid injury which would completely ruin your exercise schedule.

The main resistance exercises you should be focusing on are pullups, pushups, bench press, squats, dips and lunges. These exercises involve all your major muscle groups and thus will allow you to build more muscle and burn more fat than if you tried resistance exercises that focuses on single muscle groups.

With respect to cardio you should set the resistance level and speed level to the lowest setting, overtime you may increase the speed and resistance.

2 - Your workout should be intense enough

When you workout you need to make sure that the intensity of the exercise is high enough. With high intensity exercises I DO NOT mean exercise through pain, I simply mean high intensity exercises to the point of moderate discomfort.

High intensity exercises will allow you to lose weight a lot quicker than if you did low intensity exercises. High intensity exercises will also build you more muscle which will allow you to prevent injuries from intense activities and also to allow you to move more freely and be able to lift and carry heavy objects with ease. As a rule of thumb “High intensity = Quicker results.”

3 - Your workout should progress over time

As time flies by when you workout you need to take your exercises to the next level by either increasing the resistance of the exercise or by increasing the number of repetitions of that exercise. If you don’t progress by increasing either the resistance or the number of repetitions your body will not allow you to lose weight since it doesn’t have any reason to change. You need to force your body to lose weight.

For example, pushups. Once you could do 1 set of 12 pushups you can make the exercise more difficult by placing your legs on a higher surface such as a chair or a set of stairs or you could increase the number of repetitions of pushups from 12 to 13 or more.

4 - Decrease rest times

By decreasing the time you rest between the sets of your exercise you are allowing your body to adapt to the decreased rest times. For example, If you usually take a 1 minute break between each set then reduce that to 45 seconds. This will force your body to work more efficiently.

Designing your Own Body Sculpting Workout Plan

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Machelle Lee asked:


A body sculpting work out plan can be hard on your body. By using intense resistance exercises and multiple repetitions, you can define your muscles, tighten any ‘loose’ areas, and reshape your figure. But all the information you find on the internet and in magazines may have you wondering if it’s even possible for you to find one body sculpting work out plan that will work for you – there are just too many choices out there. In truth, you can design a body sculpting plan that will work for you.

Here’s how: When you want to create your own body sculpting work out plan, you need to look at what your body needs. Are you looking to add muscle tone or are you new to exercise altogether? Once you determine your goals, you will be able to create a plan that’s custom-made for you.

Make a list of all the goals you want to achieve with this fitness plan and then consider the following body areas you can target:

· Upper body

· Abdominals

· Lower body

While you may have certain areas that need more toning than others, you will want to create a body sculpting work out plan that includes all of the major areas of your body. This allows you to have a balanced look instead of creating a body that’s toned in some areas, but not in others. And it’s also good to note that spot reducing is not possible. Trying to reduce the size of your thighs is not something a body sculpting plan can do necessarily possible, but when you increase the muscle in your arms and torso, your thighs can look thinner in comparison as well as be tighter from your fitness work.

There are seven exercises that every body sculpting work out plan should include:

· Basic abdominal crunches

· Pushups

· Shoulder presses

· Bench presses

· Squats

· Lunges

· Calf raises

While these exercises might seem too simple, they are simply the most effective choices for a beginning plan. As you progress, you can add more exercises to the routine or reconfigure the routine entirely. After all, why make your body sculpting work out plan more complicated than it needs to be? To make your body sculpting work out plan effective, we sure to workout out certain muscle groups every other day. For example, you should workout your upper body one day and the lower body the next. Or you can do all of your exercises on one day and then rest the day after. You need to include this rest in order for your muscles to repair themselves and be ready to work hard the next time.
