Denise Austin’s Burn Fat Fast
Fat Loss LEG MELTER: Dumbell Swings for Sexy Legs + Arms (Cardio Conditioning)
Will it help me lose my belly fat?
I am buying a stationary bike tomorrow, and am planning on using it for an hour in the morning, 30 minutes in the afternoon, and another hour in the evening, along with that I’ll be doing 30 minutes of walking in the evening as well, and weight training every other day.
I’m currently in good shape, but have a good bit of stubborn belly fat that I cant seem to get rid of.
I am on a low carb diet, and have already lost 2 in and 5 pounds. But the weight loss has come to a sudden halt, and I am hoping that adding this much more exercise in will help.
I am 5′4 and 130 pounds, but again I have a good bit of extra belly fat.
Do you think 2 1/2 hours on a stationary bike, plus a 30 minute walk daily will help me lose the extra belly fat? (along with a low carb diet)
And if so, how long until I should see results?
Thanks!
3 hours of cardio a day sounds like a lot, I know. But I’m in very good shape, and have a lot of extra time on my hands now that its summer.
A bike is a great way to get aerobic exercise, which is great for burning extra fat. However, I’m a little bit concerned about the amount of time you want to spend, even if you are in good shape.
How much you are exercising right now, and what you are doing? Your first goal should be to get up to 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, biking hard enough that you are ‘huffing and puffing’ and it’s a little hard to talk. You don’t want to put your body into a survival mode where it is so stressed that you have trouble losing weight.
If you are already at that point, you’re in good physical shape, and the extra belly fat might be more because of your eating than your activity.
You also mention a low-carb diet. Remember that carbohydrates contain water (that ‘hydra’ part of the word). Less carbs mean less water in your system, so your pounds and inches may be mostly water.
I myself keep a food and exercise diary, and track my weight daily and measurements weekly to check that I’m not gaining any fat. That will help you check your progress.
In keeping a food diary, you don’t need to add up all the carbs and calories you eat, but just write down everything you are eating. People often don’t really notice how much they eat, even though they notice a little tummy fat right away.
Putting it together, if you are losing or gaining weight, you can use your diary to compare it with your eating and exercise to help discover how much to eat to lose or gain weight. If your weight loss slows down, then you might be close to your goal weight, or you might consider adding a little more exercise, possibly strength training, or reducing your eating a little, if you are eating over 1400 calories.
