Although we may be conditioned to think that sit-ups and crunches are the only way to target the abdominal region, it’s time we realize that a
is also a great tool to get rid of unwanted fat. In fact, cardiovascular exercises are the only way to burn the mid-section. To make your routine more effective and safe, use a reliable treadmill like those from Sole or Smooth Fitness. Step-by-step, you can eliminate pounds and inches from your stomach with determination, discipline, and the use of a treadmill.Step #1
Before any cardio exercise, it is important to warm your body up. Make sure you are properly stretching, and then use a slow treadmill speed to get your blood flowing. Also, a slow start allows your body to get used to walking on a treadmill.
Step #2
When focusing on your core, it is important to use and swing your arms. This assists in keeping your balance and working the abs. It helps you keep your abs tight, and keeps your body facing and moving forward. This will also tone the abs.
Step #3
After you are warmed up, it is time to pick up the pace. If you are not a runner, you need to move quickly enough to get your heart rate to meet the target zone. This is 65% to 85% of your maximum heart rate for burning calories. It is necessary to stay in this range because if you don’t work hard enough, your body won’t burn fat. Most treadmills come with sensors to measure your rate. If you are unsure, you can find your target heart rate by age at the American Heart Association website, or consult your doctor or trainer at a gym.
Step #4
In order to reach your cardio and toning goals, don’t give up. At times it may be frustrating and exhausting, but the longer and more frequently your workout the faster, you will burn those unwanted fat.
In addition to any workout, you must eat right. Some think that because they have worked out, they can eat whatever they want. But in order to get rid of fat you must create a calorie deficit. For example, if you burn 500 calories, but eat an extra 500 calories, you aren’t going to reach your goals. You may be strengthening your muscles, heart and lungs, but you aren’t going to get rid of that unwanted belly fat.
Using your treadmill is a great way to not only keep your heart and lungs healthy, but also to tone and flatten your stomach. With proper warm up, focus on your core and a healthy diet, and you’ll discover that a treadmill is a great tool to get the most out of your workout.
