Lose Your Weight Through Sports
Posted by Wilson | Posted in gym weight | Posted on 06-11-2009
‘Aren’t you concerned loosing your weight?’ ‘Yes you look more obese and have a large waistline.’ These are the comments you will hear if you have grown your waistline above a limit. The easiest way to find that you have grown in size is by measuring your pants. If it still fits you then you are slim, if it is not then well you too know the answer.
Lose weight is the new mantra of the present generation. They seem to fear it a lot. They are obsessed by it. If ask a group of person about whether they are undergoing any weight lose course then most likely their answer would be yes rather than a straight no. so if you want to enter into this league then you should make your facts right. You may find various different approaches but if you are new to this then you have come to the right place. It is because you can lose your weight in a thousand different ways but if you want to lose it with pleasure then you must read the article.
There are three different ways to lose weight- healthy life style, healthy diet, and a healthy living in general. But the most people go for the exercise way i.e. they lose their weight through exercise. But you and I well know how tough the exercises are. Each day we look for some excuse to abstain from gym and exercises. But there is one thing which gives you enjoyment as well as helps you lose your weight. This thing is sports.
There is very few percentage of our population wants to go to gym, lifting all those weights and subsequently doing the aerobics. They can do no more than being soaked in the sweat and from the next time find some excuse. There is also much less percentage of person who plays sports besides enjoying it. Sports are one of the very few ways through which you can lose weight without any heart burn.
Incidentally we enjoy playing it. It is one thing we enjoy without any break. But when it comes to playing it very few people come forward. One such game is racquetball. It is because most of the racquetball courts can be hired for as little as ten dollars an hour which is very convenient considering the fact that we spend more than that amount for one stroke of tequila.

If possible, tips on losing love handles too |D
I’m willing to spend up to an hour and a half a day.
PLEASE DON’T SUGGEST RUNNING DDDDD:
But yeah, through working out, not dieting. I’m cutting soda from my diet already.
Swimming is a great workout. Try some yoga too – great core workout!

Flat Belly Foods
- Drink water instead of bubbly drinks like soda, which just fill your stomach with air (i know you are cutting soda out)
- Pick whole grains over starchy carbs, like white break and pasta. The fiber in whole grains helps keep your tummy flat!
- Cut out fried foods and limit salty onesthat will make you puffy, like potato chips and soy sauce.

This was my answer to a similar question: (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtnxvEhusiYT4EQI1iawtCzty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090306163433AAgraHe&show=7#profile-info-cCqwugA1aa)

**1 set, 10-12 reps
Exercise: Side crunch
Primary Muscle: Obliques
Additional Muscles: rectos abdominis
-keep your legs straight and extend your right arm along the floor (for balance) while lying on your right side. Cup your left hand behind your head while holding your head a few inches above the floor with your elbow pointing toward the ceiling. Remember to keep your head still (do not bend it toward your feet) throughout the movement phase.
-contract the muscles of the left side of your torso while moving our upper torso toward your feet so that your upper body curls into a smooth arc. Simultaneously, lift your legs upward, while keeping your ankles locked together, to form a "V" shape with your body. When your obliques are fully contracted, begin returning slowly to the starting position. Reverse your position afterward doing several repeats to work the right side of the body
