Lose Weight, and Get Rid of Belly Fat

Belly fat, that stubborn bit of gel that remains around the waist after all the diet and exercise have done their work can be sent packing with this simple technique. Known as wind sprints to some, I call them, "push periods." This technique works to rev up your bodies response to your routine and burn off that last stubborn ten pounds around your waist.

"What are push periods?" you ask. Simple, they are a way to get more out of your exercise routine with out putting in a major effort. You simply work harder for just a few moments and then return to your regular exercise routine. Do this three to five times during your work out session and you will build muscle, that belly fat will be a fading memory with in a month.

If you normally walk for exercise and you walk at a rate of a mile in fifteen minuets, speed up after your warm up and work at pushing yourself to a ten minute mile rate, do this for just thirty of forty seconds. After this short period of the rapid pace, return to your regular pace until you have recovered from your push period. Even if you can only get up to a twelve minute mile pace for fifteen seconds to start, that's OK, do it. Before long you will be pushing harder and longer. You'll be burning more of that bulbous belly fat. You will see your base rate speed pick up too.

If you bike and normally sit through your most of your routine, stand up and really haul on those handle bars, this will be your push period. Keep the push period pace up for fifteen seconds, that's all. Three to five push periods of standing and pushing hard for those fifteen seconds will have your waist whittled with in a month.

If you run, switch from a jog to a sprint. Warm up, jog for two or three minuets, then sprint all out for fifteen seconds. Return to your jog rate until you have recovered your wind and then do another sprint. Again three to five of these pushes and that belly bounce will melt away.

The more push you can put into your push periods, the more fat you will burn. That burn will stay with you all day long burning those extra pounds off the whole time. You will have more energy, more strength and burn more calories all day. You will gain more speed, have better cardiovascular fitness, better looking skin and more of your muscles will be in shape. What more could you want?

That's it, really. Just three to five of these, "push periods," during each workout session and you will reach your six pack goal, you'll have that flat belly. Your mirror will love you.
