You could be a model. It's too bad you're not sexy.


...is the feasting over?

Goodness, have gained pounds around my waist and thighs. Might take time again before I lose these bulges. *sobs* Just look at this ... Grrr

There's a very simple solution to protruding lower abdomen, actually. So, for girls out there who have developed excesses around the midsection after the holidays, you might be interested to read what advice I am to share.

Simple. Buy a skip rope. It promises a burn rate of 1300 cal/hour. It is an effective cardio work out and is said to be one of the best ways there is to burn fat. Like jumping at a moderate speed (70 to 120 turns/min) for at least 15 mins can burn around 150 to 200 calories. It's better to start with a lil heavy jump rope, though. Then, eventually, you can use the light one just for maintenance.

They say, if you want to burn fat faster, you can combine jump rope with push up and squat. Or, with run-in-place and squat. Squat is important for girls to get rid of the unwanted fat on the inner thigh. Since, it's impossible to target a specific area where fats are concentrated, cardio work out is the best option. Jump rope is my best bet.

Of course, at first, you can only do about a few jumps or a few seconds jumping. That's just fine. You can do skip rope, squat and run-in-place alternately until your muscles have adjusted or when your stamina has improved. Just do this regularly or at least 3 times a week. But, if you want faster result, then, get serious with it.

Oh, you can also do, skip rope and hoola hoop. That's more like playing, right? There are still more alternatives to burn fat like badminton, walking, running, basketball, aerobic exercises, dancing, etc. You can even opt to go to a gym nearby. Anything, but, of course...all require discipline. So, if you don't have it, then there's no hope for you.

There's another aid that might help -- Spanx. It's more of hiding the bulges when you have to wear tight clothing. Am not sure but if it works like the waist trimmer (a rubberized something that is wrapped around the breadbasket)..maybe it might help. Waist trimmer belt heats midsection and is said to increase blood flow. Best to use when jogging or doing any physical workout.

(Maybe, you might want to try Xenical or Xando. There's another one, Zhen de Zhou.)

However, none of what I have suggested will work without discipline. So, it helps if you control your food intake. Choose healthy snacks and meals. Drink plenty of water and keep moving. Healthy lifestyle is the key to a fit body. *wink*
