Whether you have given birth or you consumed more than your fair share of extra servings over the years, you are well aware that it can be incredibly difficult to burn the fat around our midsection. If you have followed a diet and exercise plan for any length of time you know very well that post pregnancy belly fat is the hardest to lose.
While there are many techniques for helping you do this, they all have one common goal reducing your overall body fat percentage. The truth is that while on the surface we aim to target specific areas for intense focus in hopes that you will experience dramatic weight loss in that one area.
Why You Will Never See Real Results
In practice, this means that if you were interested in burning through your belly fat, you would spend 75% of your workout focused on a variety of abdominal exercises. Unfortunately no matter how hard you work you will never see real results. The reason for this is that despite what you have seen during the wee hours of the morning on late night television, there is no such thing as "spot reduction."
Where You Should Focus Your Efforts
You are incapable of shedding weight in your stomach without burning it all over the rest of your body. Your focus really should be on developing an overall workout routine that reduces your overall body fat percentage. If this is your first time making a sincere effort to lose weight, it may not be a bad idea to seek the advice of a certified personal trainer and nutritionist in your area.
The reason for this is simple; to experience true and lasting weight loss it is very important that you design a healthy eating plan and physical fitness regimen that fits your lifestyle. Many of these so called cookie cutter workout routines will not work for all people in the same way. Having a plan that is specifically tailored to your needs which ensures you will soon enjoy a flat post pregnancy belly.
Real Weight Loss Results Do Not Need to be Expensive
Keep in mind that as you go through this journey, there is no need for you to invest large amounts of money expensive exercise equipment or brand named diet plans. Over the years I have seen so many women and men fall into this trap of being seduced into buying the latest weight loss plan or fitness gadget.
A flat stomach is something you must earn over time, but that doesn't mean you can't make some quick fixes today.
