4 Best Beach Exercises to Blast Off Fat

By Richard R Michaels

Want to blast that fat off on the beach on one of the most demanding terrains - the sand?
Well there are 4 excellent beach sports which will shed pounds off you, with the heat and exhaustion making you look more and more toned as you build up your beach stamina.

4 Best Beach Exercises:

1. The Lunge
The lunge is a tricky stretching technique to perform on sand, especially using weights which strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves.
By standing upright with your legs shoulder width apart, step forward with one leg and then lower the body keeping your back straight making sure the knee of your front that you have stepped forward, doesn't go past the toes of your front foot.
Stop until your glutes are level with your front knee then raise your body up till you're upright, and then step forward with your back foot.
An excellent exercise for building lower body strength especially on sand.

2. Beach Running
If you're used to running 8 to 10 km's without too much of an issue, when running on sand you will know that it's incredibly more taxing.
Tempting to run barefoot, it's always a good idea to wear some proper light running shoes to avoid rolling your ankles as well as cutting or grazing yourself.

3. Beach Volleyball
Beach volleyball is a tough cardio workout for both upper and lower part of the body.
You work legs like you do with the lunge as well as your core, plus your torso, arms and especially abs.
A tough but great hand-eye co-ordination team sport.

4. Beach Push-Ups
Push-ups themselves take a while to get good at especially if your working your core, as many people tend to lower the top half of the body instead of keeping the core parallel with your head as you raise your body down, and then push your body back up.
With beach push-ups there's no avoiding using your core as the unstable surface will bring it into action.
Avoid doing push-ups from the knees but instead regular push-ups to reap the best results.

Bottom line:
Exercising on sand whatever the sport, beach football, baseball or rugby will all prove much tougher but more rewarding team sports, which will shed pounds faster, speed up metabolism and strengthen the body unlike the challenge of any other terrain.
Be prepared to blast off fat deposits fast!

How to Eat and Burn Fat at the Same Time

By Brian Pankau 

 

The human body is easily susceptible for weight gains due to sugar and salt cravings. This is just the nature of how things work, but that does not mean you have to sit idly by and watch your form slip away from your grasp! You can control this by eating the proper foods spaced out between meals throughout the day. However, fad diets and misinformation run rampant across the web telling you to starve yourself in order to maintain a "low calories" or "low carbs" diet plan. In reality the simple foundation for keeping your body lean is simple; eat foods that are healthy, and exercise frequently.

Why Do People Always Talk About Carbs?
Carbohydrates - or carbs - are the biggest talk in the fitness scene because they contain glucose or fructose, which are forms of sugar that your metabolism uses to create energy. When eaten correctly this macronutrient does what it is supposed, but eaten excessively you gain fat quickly.

When carbs are broken they are sent down to be stored in your muscles and then your liver. After that the rest is sent to fat cells waiting to become filled. The truth though is that you can gain weight from eating anything in excessive amounts, and that includes vegetables! So what you have to do is eat carbs in moderation just like any other kind of foods, but also keep in mind that you require more grams of carbs per day than protein.

Great carbs to eat are brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa, and oats. Have popcorn on the side for snacking. Why would you want popcorn if you want to stay slim and burn fat? Honestly your body craves snacks, and why take away everything anyway since you only live once. Popcorn is actually a whole grain that provides your body with one daily serving of the amount needed of carbs, and you get fiber as well.

The High Protein Diet Plan
This is another diet plan that focuses on eating a higher amount of one macronutrient while sacrificing another. The whole point of this diet is to eat a higher amount of protein to keep your body full and appetite suppressed. This is where the saying "Good initiative, bad judgement" comes into use. Yes, protein does fill your stomach up and keep your cravings down for a couple of hours, but you cannot sacrifice the amount of carbs in order to achieve this.

Protein is found in all meats, but to stay lean focus on the breast meat of turkey and chicken. They contain a lesser amount of saturated fat compared to pork and beef. Then fish are a great source of protein that contain omega-3 fatty acids as well. You also have dairy products for slower digesting protein, and of course eggs.

Not All Fats Are Bad
Dietary fats are actually needed by your body and make up the third macronutrient that must be consumed on a daily basis. The amount needed is not high, but still something that should remain in your diet. People often confuse dietary fats - like olive oil and canola oil- with unhealthy fats. Saturated and trans fats are the ones you do not want in your diet. They cause cholesterol buildups that clog your arteries and cause health issues to occur.

You can eat properly now that you know all of these nutrients are needed regardless if you are muscle building or burning fat. Each person also has to eat the required amount of calories each day depending on their weight amount and activity levels.

The basic rundown of it all is that too many people are starving themselves just to lose weight, and if you are losing a lot of weight that is bad! You want to burn fat, which is entirely different than weight. When you burn fat you keep muscle and stay lean, plus muscle also burns more calories while your body is at rest. Nearly 50% of your diet consists of carbs, followed by protein, and then fats. Taking one out of the equation does not solve anything and takes you back to square one once you make even the slightest change in your diet. So enjoy food and remember that moderation is the key to staying in shape!

Why Can't I Seem To Lose Weight

 Quote: Food is like sex: when you abstain, even the worst stuff begins to look good.
- Beth McCollister

You have properly asked this question of yourself many times and you've probably also heard many other people say the same thing; why can't I seem to lose weight?

The simple fact that you're reading this information shows that you are still looking for a way to find the optimum body weight.

After trying many different diets and weight loss programs you might begin to think that you're a failure where the reality of the situation is that those very same diet and weight loss programs that you have tried have been the failures and not yourself.

They have failed to give you the desired results, not because of a lack of effort on your behalf, but more likely because they weren't targeting the cause of the problem.

In addition to that many diets and weight loss programs leave people feeling hungry for considerable times throughout the day and this is not how we are supposed to live.

Just as animals in the wild feel the need to eat when they are hungry humans react in the same way and it is only natural that you should seek out food if you're feeling hungry.

If your diet is supplying you have sufficient nutrients to meet your energy needs then you won't feel hungry all the time and any weight-loss program that keeps you in such a state of hunger is in fact destined to fail eventually no matter how much willpower you might have.

It is simply not the natural state of human life.

That is one of the most common reasons why people can't seem to lose weight.  It's just too hard to maintain and it is detrimental to your health and your body will fight against that starvation message that it is getting.

Anybody can lose weight whether they have good willpower or not provided the body is getting sufficient nutritional requirements to eliminate hunger and to satisfy healthy functioning of the body.

This workout mistake ruins 67% of your results

Most people are wasting 67% or MORE of their fat burning potential every time they work out.
Shocking, but true. Consider the “world’s most popular weight loss exercise” as an example.
Every year, 36 million people turn to jogging because they think it’ll get them the lean physique that inspires them.

But check this out…
In 2006, researchers from Berkley and Stanford Universities revealed the results of their study on habitual runners. To the shock of the entire fitness industry, ALL the runners— including those who ran as much as 8 miles per DAY—got fatter with every passing year!
Those folks are wasting 100% of their exercise time! And that’s obviously not what I want for you.

So how do we solve this?
There are three key “blocks” that must be included in any effective fat loss plan. We’ll talk about them in just a minute. But know this…

You can NOT hit 100% of your fat burning potential without all three.
The sad truth is, most conventional programs only hit one of the three essential methods, like jogging. And that means you’re only working with 33% of your fat burning potential—at best.

So what are the key workout ingredients for a successful fatloss plan?

1. Intense cardio interval training

2. Endurance cardio training

3. Metabolic-Muscle training

Without all three, it’s impossible to keep your metabolic machinery firing at 100% of your fatloss potential.
