Ways of getting slim

Submitted by Fitlifeforever on Friday, 6 March 2009No Comment

diet-healthThere are certain exercises which aim are specially aimed at killing the unwanted fats at some parts of the body. You also need to maintain a healthy diet to remain slim and workout regularly.

Please note that these exercises are to be done in proper slow manner only after some routine stretching.

Exercises are as following:

1 ) Stretch and Cardio:

 Stretching is usually done when warming up. Before hitting the treadmill or joining the aerobic team for a 30-minute to one hour cardio and sweat-it-all-out routine, you must condition your body parts first for about 5 to 10 minutes. This is to avoid getting strained. It is recommended 3-5 days of cardio for about 30-60 minutes. Bill Phillips, creator of Body for Life, recommends 20 minutes of high intensity cardio 3 times a week.

2 ) Core Synergistic. In this routine, you combine cardio, stretching and resistance trainings together so that you can aim on your major muscle groups.

Abs Ripper - In just 16 minutes, you will rip fats off your abs through intense sit-ups and Pilates. Pilates is a form of exercise where you use your mind’s focus to control the muscles.

3 ) Breathing and alignment of the torso muscles will help you get a well-postured body.

Another one is jumping in 30 variations. This is more of a flying routine that promotes harmony between your legs and the entire body.

4 ) Leg Press- For this exercise you need a leg press machine. Sit on it and place your feet at about shoulder distance against the footrest. Point the toes slightly outward and grab the handles or the seat for support. Next bend your knees and try to lower the weights as much as possible without changing the position of your hips. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then bring the weights back to their original position using your heels.

5 ) Shoulders, Triceps and Chest:

 Develop muscles on your upper body by doing push-ups, dips and flies. Slow motions and repetitions are more effective. Do not execute abruptly but feel the contraction instead.

6 ) Straight Leg Dead-lifts- For this exercise hold a barbell with your hands and feet both at a shoulder distance. Next bend yourself in such a way that your back is straight and parallel with the floor and your eyes are looking straight ahead. Always make your sure that there is no hunch formed with your back. Hold the position for 15 seconds and then come back to the original position. 

7 )Back and Chest.

To gain resistance on your back and chest areas, you can do the pull-ups and push-up on bars. You can also use the heavyweight dumbbells and pull them up and down slowly. Fast execute may trigger injury on your back.

Thus, the above exercises will strengthen your body parts and give proper shape. But one important thing to note is continuity. Breakage in the exercise regime will not yield any results.
