Fat Loss And Core Strength - The Impatient Fitness Enthusiast

By Dan Solaris

There's nothing more frustrating than hitting the gym each day sweating it out and not see significant results from our efforts. Pumping iron and doing abdominal exercises like crunches and leg raises day in and day out without seeing tangible results can eventually take a toll on one's motivation and eventually cause one to stop working-out.

Though body type slightly determines how fast an individual develops muscle and loses fat (endomorphs have a tendency to store fat faster), exercise and eating habits are still the major factors. The rate of fat loss simply depends on how much calories are put into the body and burned-off at the end of the day.

Any fitness expert will tell you that the problem of fat-loss comes down to creating a calorie deficit- burning more calories than we take-in through food each day. Due to the sheer number of novelty diets and workout schemes out there however, they will not always tell you the fastest way of getting lean and forming a shredded six pack.

Recent studies have shown a direct relation between fat loss and core strength. Our core muscles- the abdominals, lower back, the buttocks hips and obliques serve as our body's foundation. Doing exercises that isolate our core not only gets rid of fat effectively, but it improves stability, balance and endurance as well.

Getting all of the core muscles into the action when we're exercising obviously necessitates the use of more energy and thus, faster fat loss. Incorporating core exercises into our workout regimen is a good way to achieve faster results as it improves the efficiency of our body in using-up calories.

It's quite difficult to work-out the core muscles effectively by doing conventional exercise programs. Utilizing exercise balls and similar aids with unstable surfaces can enable an individual to really get the core muscles working.

The wider range of motion and balancing efforts involved in Pilates and core exercises recruits more muscle fibers around the midsection. Obviously and this entails further usage of stored calories from body fat, toning-up the body and giving you faster results and increased motivation.

Burning more calories in less time through core exercises can shorten your sessions, lessening your chances of getting bored. Increased usage of caloric energy means a more efficient workout and more visible results- keeping you motivated and on the path to a lean, shredded physique in less time. - 17269
