THE BEST EXERCISES TO GET RID OF A MUFFIN TOP WAIST
The so-called muffin top is the overhanging flesh that spills over the waistband. Not a good look by anyone’s standards. Ditch the muffin top right now by following the steps below.
STRIP THE FAT WITH THE RIGHT KIND OF EXERCISE
Muffin tops are made up of excess fat around the abdominal area all the way round your waist. Stripping excess fat from your body with cardio exercise is one of the best ways to get rid of it. Women tap into fat stores for energy much more slowly than men, usually after 40 minutes of exercising, so aim for at least this, but ideally building up to an hour, three times a week. We give good, free advice on exactly what kinds of exercise you need to do to strip the fat at the website we specially set up to help women ditch their muffin tops – http://www.MuffinTopBlaster.com
WORK OUT LATERALLY
Women often exercise the muscles of the front of the body, backs of the legs and abs by jogging, step machines and other aerobic activities. The sides of the abs, or the “oblique abdominals” are often neglected in workouts that are not specially tailored to combat muffin tops. Guess which muscles you need to target the most? The obliques! Having conditioned muscles all the way round your waist will greatly decrease the muffin appearance. Special tips on training the obliques can be found at http://www.MuffinTopBlaster.com.
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE EXERCISE!!
Lifestyle and diet are also key to the battle against the muffin top! Consuming fewer toxins is a great way to help your body release the stored fat. Toxins include processed foods, caffeine, alcohol and smoking (the worst of all!). As a survival mechanism, our bodies try to protect us and keep toxins away from our vital organs by wrapping water, fat and cholesterol around them. This is then stored, particularly around our middle and hips and leads to the dreaded muffin top. Toxins that are trapped in the fat cells around your waste can be flushed out by: * Eating a low-sugar diet rich in vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains * Drinking two litres of water a day * Taking regular baths with Epsom salts. This will help expel them and reduce excess water retention. This is popular with celebs who want to keep their waists and hips as streamlined as possible.
EAT MORE FAT!
If you want to drop the muffin top, eat more fat!! You heard me! Our bodies need fat for energy and for a whole host of other functions. When we say fat, we mean high quality unsaturated fats such as omega 3, 6 and 9 that are essential to the body’s wellbeing and not saturated fat. These essential fats are used by the body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, to give us shiny hair and nails, and to transport nutrients around the body. It’s a cunning paradox that we need to eat fat to burn fat, as not eating enough of the right kind of fat can stop our fat cells functioning properly. Essential fats are naturally occurring in oily fish (salmon, herring, and & mackerel) and eggs. Additionally, you can buy food supplements that make it simple to obtain the right daily amount of high quality fats. These include flaxseed oil, walnut oil and evening primrose oil.
ALCOHOL CAN MAKE YOU FAT TOO
Alcohol is the silent partner in crime when it comes to adding unwanted fat to the body. Most people understand that foods contain calories and that if you eat more calories than you use during the day, the excess, unused calories are converted and stored as fat. Perhaps less well known is the fact that alcohol also contains calories. Alcohol calories are classed as “empty” calories, as they contain no nutritional value. Even though there is no fat in wine, there are the same amount of calories in a bottle of white wine as four fishfingers. So, taming the amount of units you consume each week will also have an effect on the amount of calories you are consuming
BRUSHING AND SCRUBBING
Brushing and scrubbing your muffin top with a good exfoliator and gentle massage (as you would around cellulite laden bums and legs) will also help stimulate cells and improve circulation, getting nutrients in and toxins out. Next time you are in the shower, scrub as vigorously as you can for at least five minutes.
