Is running good for stomach?Fat is stored in the body when the amount of nutrition consumed exceeds the energy requirement of the body. The body also stores fat as an emergency source of nutrition that is used when the body does not have access to new food. Fat is required in any healthy diet. However, many people tend to eat beyond their requirements, thus ending up with excess weight. Running is one of the most effective exercises for weight loss. Running works well because of the fact that it puts a continuous moderate load on the body. This means that the body will have to burn food constantly to keep up with the requirement of energy that running brings with it. When the body needs energy, sugar from the blood is burned. It is when this sugar runs out that the real weight loss beings. That is because the body has to then burn fat to keep itself going. Therefore running for abdominal fat is one of the best methods possible for this objective. Running is easy and can be done virtually anywhere. One should ramp up the speed and distance slowly over a period of time in order to achieve the benefits in terms of weight loss. |

Does running up and down stairs burn stomach fat?Obesity is one of the most common conditions all over the world and is the root cause of a number of other medical problems. Attempting to burn stomach fat can be rather harder than compared to burning fat from almost any other part of the body. Abdominal fat is considered to be the hardest type of fat to burn and is usually the last to go. Running for stomach fat is one of the most popular methods of exercise because of the fact that it is one of the simplest forms of exercise in terms of equipment required and convenience. However, one misconception about running for flat abs is that you need to make sure to perform 30 minute workouts in order to get your metabolism up and running in order to help you lose more fat. 10-minute workouts are equivalently beneficial for your health and weight loss program as long as they are performed in earnest. Set a timer and hit the stairs for a whole period of 10 minutes without a break will see you burn a high number of calories as well as develop your muscle tissue substantially. Moreover, this cardiovascular form of exercise will also help you develop better circulation and respiratory habits. |

Does running burn hip fat?Running for hips reduction is one of the best and easiest exercises and also helps in burning overall body fat. Running is especially beneficial when there is lesser body fat on the waist, hips and the buttocks.

Losing fat from the stomach - and by 'back' the assumption is 'hips' - is one of the toughest things to do. Losing fat from these areas is neither simple nor easy. You will, therefore, need to dedicate a few hours everyday to this activity, making it a part of your daily routine. For this, you will have to do both, follow a well-planned diet and an exercise regime. The first order of the day is to bring about a change in your daily diet. Try and eliminate foods that are deep fried such as chips, fries, chicken wings, to name a few. You will also need to avoid processed and canned foods, aerated drinks, and alcohol as well. Since our body requires proteins and carbohydrates to function normally, you will need to become very selective about the foods that you eat. You will have to make sure that proteins and carbohydrates that you consume are without any fats. For example, you can do away with white rice and substitute it with brown rice, do away with potatoes, have whole grain or light brown bread instead of white bread, etc. Even with milk products, instead of whole milk, have fat free or reduced fat milk, have yogurt instead of milkshakes, cottage cheese instead of cheese, and so on. Make sure your diet is well-balanced and healthy and includes vegetables, fruits, grains, milk products, and nuts in adequate quantities. Avoid snacking whenever you feel like. If you must, eat nuts like pistachio, walnut, almond, pecan or fruits likes apples, peaches, papayas, pears, oranges, lemons, and cherries. Avoid eating bananas, as they tend to help put on weight. You will need to accompany the diet with exercises as well, especially since you want to target the fat deposits on the stomach and hips. The best exercise for the hips is either walking or swimming. These exercises will not only help remove the fat from your hips but also help tone up your leg muscles, although, swimming will help tone up your whole body. For the stomach, the best and the most effective exercise is stomach crunches. You can start with a set of simple crunches and progress to more complicated ones over a period of time. To these, you can add a few, simple stretching exercises and you are well on your way to reducing those problem areas. But do keep in mind to be patient, for this will take time. |
