Fat deposits that hide the waist both from the front and in profile are an important reason for physical training, even at home.
It would seem that the necessary exercises are obvious: you need to strengthen your abs, then the fat will escape under the pressure of developing muscles.However, those who with all their zeal only pump the rectus and oblique muscles of the abdomen are surprised: the abdominal press, of course, develops, but still under the same layer of fat, so that the volume of the abdomen and sides does not decrease, but grows.
Let's take a closer look at the correct organization of this type of gymnastics for losing weight on the stomach and sides at home, which, in combination with diet, training and lifestyle in general, will reliably remove excess fat from a slender frame.
Nutrition and mobility in the fight for an elegant waist
Eliminating unsightly folds on the sides and abdomen with the help of gymnastics will only be possible if the fat layer does not re-form due to excess nutrition and a slow lifestyle and is intensively consumed to provide energy for active movements.
To do this you need:
- Reduce the calorie content of the diet so that each day its energy value is less than the body's own expenses.As a result, the body receives the most direct and intelligible signal: it is no longer possible to accumulate fat, the time has come to spend the energy stored in it.
- Eat five to six moderate servings of food a day and drink one and a half to two liters of clean, high-quality water.This type of nutrition, on the one hand, eliminates the feeling of hunger even with low-calorie foods and, on the other hand, accelerates the metabolism and, consequently, the utilization of fats.
- Change your static lifestyle to regular training loads that involve not only problem areas, but also all muscle groups.At the same time, to replenish energy expenditure, fat cells will be decomposed and a new slim body, free of the fat layer, will harmoniously form.
To quickly achieve the desired results, home workouts should be done three times a week.The optimal time for them is from eleven in the morning to two in the afternoon or from six to eight in the afternoon.In any case, it is advisable to start exercising no earlier than two hours after eating and at least two hours before going to bed.
