Is it your dream of getting a well-toned body and that perfect shape? If yes, then just going on a diet isn't enough. Along with taking up a balanced diet, you need to take up fat burning exercises to cut down the weight. You would have to follow a strict exercise regimen to burn those extra calories and get into shape. Regular exercises help you in getting rid of unwanted fat and tone up your muscles.
BELOW ARE SOME EXERCISES THAT CAN HELP
One of the most important tips on reducing unwanted fat is to perform with slow, aerobic exercises. Other forms of simple exercises such as walking, jogging, running, cycling, and swimming can also help you burn a lot of fat. Taking up any kind of sports that require a lot of physical movement such as basketball, tennis, racquetball and golf will also benefit you significantly in burning calories and staying fit. Sprinting is another very popular form of sugar burning exercise.
Swimming
Doing lengths up and down the pool for an hour will burn off 800 calories, and also tone almost all of your body. Stay motivated by giving yourself half an hour extra to make use of the Jacuzzi when you've finished
Step Aerobics
This mainly targets your legs, hips and bum, which are often the areas that women most want to tone. Doing an hour a day, split into two half an hour sessions, will ensure that you see results within 2 weeks. If you aren't sure how to do these,Another very similar exercise is bench presses, which go very well in sets with step aerobics. I found it really hard to do them to start with, so make sure you're doing them right or you'll see no results
Tiptoe Butterfly Curls
Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms at sides. Lift left foot and place sole against right calf (or for help with balance, keep left toes on floor). Curl weights, then lower them. Complete a full set. On the second set, try to raise right heel and balance on ball of foot. Firms: arms, abs
Bridge Chest Press
Lie faceup, knees bent, with feet flat. Hold a weight in each hand at chest level. Squeeze butt and lift it and hips off the floor as you extend arms and press weights toward the ceiling. Body should form a straight line from chest to knees. Return to start. Perform a full set. Firms: chest, arms, abs, butt
Marching Shoulder Raise
Stand holding dumbbells at sides. Raise left knee and right arm out in front of you and left arm out to the side. Lower to start and repeat, raising the right knee and lifting the left arm forward and the right arm to the side. Alternate, doing a full set on each side. Firms: arms, shoulders, abs
Bicycle pumps. Lie on the floor flat on your back. We have a curvature of the spine on our lower back that usually elevates it a bit and barely touches the floor. Make sure you press your lower back to the ground. Put your hands above your head. Raise you left bent knee and raise your right elbow to touch it. Without bringing your raised knee and arm down, do the same knee-to-elbow touching on the other pair. Repeat these bicycle pumps twenty times before returning to your original position. This, in conjunction with the other exercises below, will reduce stomach fat.
Full circle torso twist. Stand upright on the floor, feet apart, hands on your waist. When you feel stable enough, raise both hands and clasp them together on top of your head. Face right without moving your legs, from this position you will bend down and sideward to your right, going toward your foot, and twisting till your torso arcs in a circle that passes your left foot and completes the arc with your hands raised and clasped on top of your head again. You can start from the left or right as you so choose. Do five full circle torso twists starting on either side, then switch sides.
Be Patient When Trying to Burn Fat by Exercise
As you can see, it takes time and considerable physical effort to achieve any kind of rapid fat-loss by exercise alone. So if you want to burn off your last pockets of fat by increased fitness training, give yourself enough time and don't jump onto your bathroom scales more often than once a month. Also, be aware that muscle is denser (heavier mass) than fat. So while you may look leaner, your weight may show only a slight reduction.
