So you want to get rid of some belly fat. And you can't help but be on the lookout for that magical exercise that will give you flat abs once-and-for-all. I'm sorry to burst your bubble of hope... But all the ab crunches in the world won't make a dent in your muffin top, as long as you continue with your unhealthy lifestyle. This isn't a cutting edge discovery. In fact, by now it's common knowledge that spot reduction is a myth. And yet, time after time, I'm asked to reveal the exercise, or exercise machine, that gets rid of stomach fat. There is no such magical exercise. The magic is found in altering your diet and exercise routine to promote fat loss from your overall body, including - but not limited to - your midsection. Here's how to really get rid of that belly fat: Flat Belly Tip #1: Cut Out Processed Foods You know how Disneyland has the FastPass tickets that allow you to cut to the front of the ride lines? Consider processed foods as a FastPass ticket to belly fat. I wouldn't be surprised if future studies show that the over-processing, chemical additives and high fructose corn syrup that are pumped into processed food specifically adds fat around your belly. If you want to lose pounds then stay away from sugars, sodas, chemically altered fats, processed, packaged, fried and preserved foods. Flat Belly Tip #2: Eat Fresh, Whole Foods Once you've cut the garbage out of your diet, fill in the void with fresh foods such as: Green veggies Whole fruit Lean, high quality meat Colorful veggies Whole grains, in moderation While these foods may seem boring at first, stick with it long enough and you'll grow to love the unadulterated flavor of real food. Eating a diet filled with the foods listed above will give your body all the nutrients it needs to shed pounds and lean out. Flat Belly Tip #3: A Consistent, Challenging Exercise Program The absolute best way to fight the battle of the muffin top is with a consistent, challenging exercise program. Consistent: You should exercise 3-5 times each week. Challenging: If you want to see results then keep your body guessing with new exercises and varied intensity. My exercise programs are specifically crafted to get you into the best shape of your life. I'd love to hear from you. Call or email today to get started.

Write a Comment Best Ab Exercises Just because those crunches won't reduce your body fat, that doesn't mean you shouldn't strengthen your abdominal muscles. Regular ab exercises are an essential part of your strength and conditioning – necessary in order to get that fit physique you want. Plank: Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air or sagging in the middle. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps. Knee Tucks: Start on your back, bend your knees into your chest, point your toes together, and open knees out to the sides, keeping toes touching. Extend both arms overhead on either side of your ears, palms facing up. Lift your hips off the floor and bring your knees up towards your armpits. Slowly lower your hips back down to start position. Repeat for 12-15 reps. One-Arm Full Sit Ups: Start lying on your back with your right knee bent, foot flat on the floor, and left leg extended straight out on the floor. Extend your right arm to the ceiling and reach your left arm towards your left foot. Sit all the way up, rolling through your back, keeping your right foot on the floor, and your right arm up over your shoulder and your left arm reaching in front of you all the way up. Slowly roll back down to the floor. That's one rep. Repeat 15 times on one side, 15 times on the other. For an extra challenge hold a dumbbell in your extended arm. Olive-Stuffed Turkey Meatballs Lean, ground turkey paired with Italian seasoning and tender olives, make these meatballs something special. The key to keeping this savory meal healthy is to pair it with a side of vegetables, rather than starchy pasta. Servings: 5 Here's what you need... 20 oz Italian Seasoned Lean Ground Turkey 30 pitted olives 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced Take one tablespoon of ground turkey at a time; flatten it in your hand and form around an olive to create a ball. Repeat with all of the turkey and olives. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and spread around the pan. Add the meatballs. Turn the meatballs every 3 minutes for 20 minutes of cooking. Remove once all sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through. Serve on a platter with any remaining olives.
