Eat Your Veggies to Lose Belly Fat

You're doing hours upon hours of sit-ups, crunches, and leg raises and still can't lose that unsightly fat around your waist. You've also put yourself on a rigid diet plan but it seems as though you are just spinning your wheels.

It's not your fault. The food you eat, the water you drink, and the air around you contain chemicals known as xeno estrogens which promote abdominal fat. Fight this fat by eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard and turnip greens.

Build a toned midsection with these exercises If you want rock-hard abs like these, you have to melt away that body fat. But exercise is needed to tone and build abdominal muscles. The armor plating you see at left is the result of the stripping away of excess body fat and an intense abdominal workout. My workout included some weights because I wanted to enlarge the muscles. But if you don't want to build up these muscles, skip the weights. More...

How to Lift Weights Intelligently

I don't want to make it sound as if weight training is complicated - that you have to be a rocket scientist in order to do it right. But on the other hand I don't wish to paint a picture of 'tip-toeing through the tulips' with careless abandon either.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do anything. That includes lifting weights. And although it isn't difficult, doing it the wrong way can lead to injury (which is counterproductive to your goal.)

Strengthen your lower back by playing "Superman"

As I was flipping through the pages of Muscle & Performance magazine, I came upon an exercise movement that targets the lower back.

I happen to have a bad lower back which I need to keep strong. To strengthen it I perform hyperextensions. For that I use a sit-up chair at the gym I attend.

But what if you were on vacation, or didn't have access to that special chair? Well this movement which I will describe fills in nicely.

This lower back exercise is called the "superman." Lie flat on your stomach with your arms outstretched above your head and palms on the floor. Now lift your arms and upper body while at the same time lifting your legs. (Don't bend the knees.)

Return to the starting position and repeat. The movement is small but extremely effective.
