Resourses for use by our visitors

Here are some advices to get fine belly shape and about motivation for training. We also have other resourses for use by our visitors. A complete list of the resourses is given here.

 

How to get a fine, flat and strong stomach

A thick or bulging stomach can be due to several factors: Too much fat under he stomach skin, too much internal fat, weak stomach muscles and engorged intestines due to trouble with he digestion. To get a really nice stomach all these factors must be taken care of with appropriate measures.

 

THE RIGHT DIET TO LOOSE FAT FROM THE STOMACH AREA

A right diet is one important key to getting a nice stomach. A good diet will help you loose fat, regulate your stomach function and help to build strong belly muscles.

The diet should not contain great amounts of fat and carbohydrates, but it must contain a good portion of full valued proteins at each meal. The diet should also be as natural as possible, without much added sugar, much added fat, chemically altered fat or refined carbohydrates.

Good protein sources are fish, seafood, foul, mushrooms, lean diary products, eggs, spawn, lean meat, nuts, almonds and sunflower seeds.

You need of course some carbohydrates and fat even though you should not exaggerate the consume of these. Good sources of carbohydrates are full corn bread or cereals, peas and beans. Good sources of fat are nuts, sunflower seeds, fat fish, almonds olive oil, rape oil, almond oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, sunflower oil and nut oils.

Try to vary between many oil types to get a right mixture of fatty acids. Do not only use soy oil, palm oil or corn oil as some do, since this will give you too much of only some fatty acids.

Food sources with much fibre, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants will help your body to get rid of excessive fat, help to build muscles and help against bulging of your stomach due to digestive trouble. Full corn bread or cereals, vegetables and fruit contain good amounts of these necessary substances.

 

HOW TO EXERCISE TO STRENGTHEN THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

Another necessary means to get a nice stomach are muscle exercises. You can find many good stomach exercises from a detailed instruction book, but here are three simple ones. Do at least 4 series with at least eight repetitions of one of the exercises at least every second day.

- This exercise strengthens your lover stomach area: Lie on your back. Use your hands as support under your buttocks. Lift your legs so that your feet are higher than your pelvis. Hold that position some seconds. Then lower your feet again. If your legs are straight, the exercise can be a little hard for your back. In order to make it less demanding for your back, you can flex your knees somewhat when you do the exercise.

-- This exercise strengthens your upper stomach area: Lie down straight on your back. Place your hands under your neck. Lift your upper body some distance over the floor. Your whole lower body shall all the time have contact with the floor. Hold the position some seconds. Then lower your upper body again.

A variation of this exercise lets the effect work more on the sides of your stomach than at the central part: Flex up your knees and twist your knees and lower body to the left side. Then lift your upper body some times. Then flex your knees and lower body to the right side and lift up your upper body some times again.

- Training devices that allow you pull or press down with your arms are also good to strengthen your stomach muscles. You stand on your knees, then stretch your arms right out, and then push or pull down at the device. Such devices are also good to strengthen the sides of your stomach. To do so you straighten out one arm to the side and push or pull down some times, and then do the same with the other arm.

Of course you should not only exercise your stomach muscles, but have a complete exercise program for the whole body where the stomach exercises are just one module. Regular condition training like running, cycling, swimming or skiing is also valuable, because they help you to loose fat, including fat on your stomach.

It is also important not to exaggerate the stomach exercises. If you do so, you can end up with thick abdominal muscles that make your stomach look fat.

 

SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT OF THE STOMACH SHAPE

On the market you can find supplements of fibres, minerals, vitamin and probiotics that are meant to increase your fat or sugar burning, regulate your digestion or stimulate tissue development. Such supplements may be of use to loose stomach fat and stimulate the strengthening of your stomach muscles.

 

Some advices about motivation and training

Without motivation, any training program will fall to the ground after some time. Logically motivation consist of the following components. You must have some goal that have a value for you. You must feel that the value of your goals must be greater than the costs, effords and risks of your training program. When you are training, you must feel a  pleasure that is greater than any pain also associated with your training effords. Here are some advices about motivation for training.

Set clear final goals: To know what you actually aim for, is a basic motivational factor. Many people begin training without actually knowing what results they want. Having a clear conseption of results aimed at, is an important motivation factor. Without a clear goal, your training program also will tend to be arbitratily composed. If you still manage to keep that program, you will get results, but not neccessarily results that give you any value, and when you see that the training give results you actully do not like, you will tend to give up your training program. You should consider several types of goals, for example:

Set clear intermediate goals:  Your final goals probably cannot be achieved at once, but need perhaps many years to fulfill. Therefore set  some intermediate goals that you can hope to achieve in a couple of months, and goals for the next couple of months, and so on. By setting intermediate goals you more easily can measure your achievements and you get better motivated to go on,

Analyse the realism in your goals and moderate them to what is realistic:  After having set some goal, you need to analyse what is realistic for you to achieve, and what is not. Are the sort of goals you have set realistic? If you for example want to look like Arnold Swarzenegger, this may be unrealistic because you just have quite anothe type of basic body shape in the first place. You cannot magically transform into something different than you actully are.

Analyse the costs of your goals and moderate them if those seem to be too high:  Allright, now you are pretty sure that your goals are realistic. But how much will these goals cost in terms of time, pain, money and risks? Try to make a realistic judgement about these cost factors. If they seem to be too high  in comparizon with the value of your goals, or too high for you to endure at a dayly basis, then moderete your goals so that the cost factor is not getting too high.

Visualize your goals: After having defined a realistic set of goals, then try to make a picture in your mind of how you will look like when the goals are reched. Also make a picture of what new abilities you will have, once the goals are reached. Also try to make a clear picture bout changes this will bring about in your life.

Compose an adequate program for your intermediate goals: Having set goals, you must  compose a right program to achieve your goals for the next couple of months. List your intermediate goals for the next couple of months and list the tasks you must do on a daily and weekly base to achieve these goals.

When these intermediate goals are reached, then compose a new program for the next couple of months, and proceed that way.

When your final results are reached, then do not give up training. At that time you must compose a program to preserve what you have achieved, and stick to your training habits.

But, perhaps you at that time find it feasable to increase your final goals and compose a program for even more ambitious results?

There are always some programs of fasion that are advertized and propagated by commerial interests, often combined with some fancy, but basically worthless  training equipment. These aproches seldome fit a personal sets of goals. You must analyze every goal you have set, and find out what training modality fit each of these goals, and make the right combination.  If you want to increase heavily in muscle mass, then you must use weight training as a body-building modality. If you primarily want better condition and losing weight, then aerobics or jogging are more appropriate.

Define Success on Your Own Terms:  Just because someone you know defines success as bench-pressing 350 pounds or building 20-inch arms doesn't mean you should, too. Define success for yourself and be prepared to celebrate once you achieve it. People who take time to savor small achievements en route to greater success are usually more motivated to continue with their training than people who are never satisfied.

Understand What motivates you and what demotivates you: When you begin training, you soon find out that on certain days you feel very motivated, and on other days you will feel that your training brings you nowhere, or that it is no value in it, or you just feel psychologically echausted even before doing your exercises. Try to write down what events cause the one or the other feeling, such as: Bad or negative comments from other people, being hungry or having eaten a big meal, just the time of the day, the weather, pain from diseases you may have, and so on. Then try to evade those circumstances that demotivate you and on the opposite try to make your exercises under those conditions that you feel motivating you. Sometimes you will encounter people that do not want you to succeed, and try to demotivate you by purpose, often by giving you advices that are camouflaged like common sense, but actually have the purpose of moderating your efforts to such an extend that you get nowhere if you follow them. Make it a motivating factor to beat those people, showing them that their negative comments or ill-purposed advices have the exact opposite effects of the intended ones.

Tell a Friend: Make a list of the most significant people in your life -- those individuals whose opinions you desire, value and respect. Rely on these people to help you stay focused on your exercise program. Something as simple as a few words of encouragement, or companionship during your workout, can really help. And to the extent that these significant others understand your exercise regimen and nutritional strategies, they can become far more effective supporters. Who knows -- maybe they'll follow your lead and start training themselves.

Study what others do, but be skeptikal: Elite athletes live and breathe their sport. You may not need to reproduce that same level of dedication, but those individuals can still teach you a valuable lesson. Read as much as you can about weight training, bodybuilding, aerobic exercise and nutrition. Attend fitness seminars and clinics hosted by exercise specialists. Knowledge enhances motivation, which leads to a deeper commitment. Be however skeptical about what you hear. Some people will only sell you products or programs to get your money.  

Connect Your Mind & Body: Your nervous system has an amazing, sophisticated relationship with the rest of your body. Any time you move, your brain is inundated with thousands of signals. It then makes decisions and sends signals back through the nervous system, where they're broken down into simpler, more precise messages intended for each muscle fiber. That helps explain the mind-muscle connection to which so many champion bodybuilders allude. To improve your workouts, learn to listen to what your body is telling your brain, and vice versa. When you become more aware of this mind-body connection, you'll be better prepared for the workout to follow.

Reward Yourself: You work hard in the gym, busting your tail after you've already invested yourself in work or school. Why not bribe -- er, reward -- yourself with a gift for sticking with the program? I recommend that all beginners reward themselves at least once a month, regardless of results. Setting a Herculean goal (for example, losing 25 pounds) that you must reach before you reward yourself misses the point. By sticking with your training, you're making exercise part of your regular lifestyle. The weight loss will eventually take care of itself.

Take the necessary time to achieve results: Any type of training is not about  iovernight success or automatic changes -- it's about making a commitment to a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and sound nutrition. Don't look at the professional bodybuilders or athletes in this magazines or the news and become disillusioned when you don't look like them after six months of training. Most elite sporters have been committed to the athletics lifestyle for many years. Having great genetics is merely a bonus for them. Stay the course and you'll see significant changes in the shape of your body, condition or wllness. Keep a logbook of your workouts and body measurements and, over time, you won't even need a mirror to see the improvements your training and diet have brought. They'll be staring back from the page in black and white.

The brain of a human. Motivation is mostly a task of the central inner parts of the brain, like the limbic system, but the thinking necessary to chieve the goals are done by more periferal parts of the brain.
