| Millions
of people across America are following an undocumented weight
management program, the ‘beer lifting’ plan. The diet of hops
and barley is pretty simple to follow. It entails leaving the
sofa and walking to an icy receptacle to retrieve a cold one.
Although lifting is 12 ounces per consumption interval, good work-outs
include six stretches from the sofa to the refrigerator.
As simple as the
‘beer lifting’ plan is to follow, the results do not offer the
best health benefits. Generally, the adverse effects of the
diet include an inflated waistline where the belly protrudes
over pants. Since, many beers are high in carbohydrates, it
allows the body to collect fat around the middle section.
For people focused
on stretching their abdomens into great proportions, the ‘beer
lifting’ plan will achieve outstanding results. Alternatively,
for the self-conscious there are a few ways to break the beer
belly phenomena.
Use the following
strategies to counter the beer belly bulge:
• Pull the belly
inwards. To flatten the abdomen while improving one’s posture,
pull in the naval toward the direction of the spine. Perform
the exercise several times a day. Belly dancers use the same
movement for controlling abdominal muscles.
• Crunch the stomach.
Before you start the ‘beer lift’ plan, do 50 - 100 crunches.
Add 20 crunches a week until you are able to perform 200 crunches
– at a time.
• Replace beer lift
plans with 20 - 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. At least
five days of cardiovascular training should be incorporated
with two to three days of strength/weight training. Strength
training is an important aspect of the cardio-work out because
it allows the body to increase the number of calories burned.
• Reduce food portions.
Consume food slowly to avoid the habit of overeating. Adequate
food intake should never entail a feeling being full.
• Limit ‘beer lifting’.
In order to trim the waistline, ‘beer lifting’ should be minimized |
