Flat Abs Fitness Training

Corte Madera, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) July 12, 2011

Body By X knows that rowing is great exercise for the whole body and mind, which is why the Marin personal training facility is teaming up with Open Water Rowing Center (OWRC), a Sausalito-based rowing club, to train beginners? rowing skills?indoors and out.

This new training series?the only of its kind in Marin?will be taught by Body By X master rowing instructor Eileen Hansen and will include indoor and on-the-water sessions. The classes, which will stress proper technique and offer a fun, challenging format perfect for people of all fitness levels, will also provide participants with the skills they will need to enjoy the exhilarating experience of open water rowing on the San Francisco Bay with OWRC.

?Whether you?ve always wanted to learn to row, or are looking for an efficient and fun way to keep in shape, lose weight, cross-train for another sport, or rehabilitate from injury, this is the perfect place to start,? says Nadia McClinton, co-owner of Body By X. ?Rowing works your arms, legs, chest, back, abs?even your mind. Your whole body gets a workout from the efficient, rhythmic motion of rowing. It?s such great exercise in so many different ways.?

Rowing works the entire body: the lower body initiates the drive and the upper body completes the stroke, while the whole movement engages the back and abs. It is a high calorie burner because it uses so many muscle groups?the Mayo Clinic estimates that rowing burns 511 calories an hour for a 160-pound person. It is superb aerobic exercise for cardiovascular fitness. Rowing is low-impact (easy on the knees and ankles), and is great for joint health, as it takes joints through a wide range of motion. And while rowing machines, or ?ergs? as they?re known in the rowing world, are commonly found in many gyms, few people know how to use them properly and safely tap into all the great benefits rowing offers.

That?s why Body By X has turned to Eileen Hansen to teach their rowing classes. ?There?s a lot that goes into rowing,? says Nadia. ?There?s more technique than meets the eye, and Eileen brings seasoned knowledge and longtime experience to our classes.? Eileen, a competitive sculler, has participated in flat water and open water races throughout the country. She has won the Catalina Crossing, a 32-mile race from Marina del Rey to Catalina, twice in a single racing shell and once in a mixed double. Her most recent win was the 2011 Open Ocean Regatta, a race that goes out the Golden Gate Bridge to Point Diablo and back to Sausalito. She rowed that race in a mixed double with Stefan Benton, former UCSB crew member.

Eileen teaches rowing classes at Body By X on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 6:30 AM. Similar to spin classes, Eileen?s classes take participants through their paces, combining interval and steady state rowing pieces. The classes are free to members or $ 15 for drop-ins.

The new OWRC training series, also taught by Eileen, will be twice a week for four weeks on Tuesdays at 6:30 AM and Sundays at 9 AM starting on August 9th. At the end of the series, Eileen will take each participant on the water for a one-on-one introductory rowing session out of Open Water Rowing Center.

Body By X is excited to present this opportunity to beginning rowers. ?This collaboration is unique in Marin,? says Nadia. ?We?re thrilled to team with OWRC and to help introduce people to the benefits of rowing.?

Exercise fitness is an essential way to have a great body and stay in shape. Most people become involved in exercises such as aerobic fitness and muscle fitness, because of the many known benefits of each. Any fitness trainer can help you get that rock hard body that you desire, but beside the aesthetic benefits, exercise fitness, has the ability to lower blood pressure, decrease the risk of heart attack, and control weight gain. It also boosts people’s confidence and self esteem. Therefore, the significance of exercise fitness cannot be stressed enough. To top it all off, the benefits of exercise routines such as aerobic fitness and muscle fitness can be realized regardless of your age, sex, or physical ability. For example, people of all ages can do a simple form of exercise fitness like doing crunches in order to get the six pack you’ve always wanted. Body transformations through exercise fitness are especially true if you utilize the proper fitness equipment and fitness trainer.

While many people have gotten into the habit of not taking part in an exercise fitness, such as aerobic fitness and muscle fitness, due to lack of time, the cost of a fitness trainer and/or fitness equipment, or the lack of fitness facilities, remember that the changes to your body and the way you feel from exercising are well worth it. Two of the most common types of exercise routines that benefit your body and spirit are aerobic fitness and muscle fitness, each of which can be executed through the use of fitness machines and fitness trainers.

Aerobic fitness is the type of exercise fitness that enhances the body’s oxygen consumption. This is quite different from muscle fitness where one is practicing strength or weight training. Common benefits of aerobic fitness include the strengthening of the muscles and the heart, toning of the muscles, circulation improvement, and reduction of stress. When one is practicing an aerobic fitness exercise, unlike a muscle fitness routine, glycogen is slowly being deteriorated in the body, which is then further broken down into glucose, which then uses oxygen to produce energy. This type of exercise fitness can be enjoyable for anyone because there are so many different ways to take part in an aerobic fitness routine; and they all help you stay in shape and keep healthy. For example, running, with or without the use of fitness machines, and playing basketball are all types of aerobic fitness than can shed your love handles while you listen to the music you love. A fitness trainer will most likely suggest at least twenty minutes of aerobic fitness, at least two to three times a week, to see results. Fitness equipment that is most popular for this kind of exercise fitness includes treadmills, bicycles, steppers, and the elliptical. You can read up on the reviews that we provide for these fitness machines and more at productreviewsonline.com

Unlike an aerobic fitness, during muscle fitness routines your body breaks down glycogen without using oxygen. Muscle fitness focuses on developing the muscle’s strength and size. Fitness trainers will most likely use fitness machines, such as weight stacks and weighted bars, during these exercises and have you do various repetitions of each. When doing those exercise fitness routines, fitness equipment such as those implement the force of gravity to oppose the force generated by muscle contraction. If used properly, fitness machines can target specific muscles or even help your body move a specific way. A fitness trainer can assist you with your repetitions on fitness machines and even guide you into proper form in order to reach your desired endurance, size, and strength goals. A fitness trainer can also serve as your spotter during these kinds of exercise fitness. Besides the typical fitness equipment used, muscle fitness also involves the use of the body’s own weight in order to reach your desired size and strength. For example, you can do exercise fitness like chin-ups and pushups in order to get well defined arms and chest. While your body may be the cheapest fitness machines out there, a fitness trainer will teach you that in order to increase your endurance and capabilities, investing in fitness equipment is a great way to build on your goals.

Losing weight is often a priority for athletes when they want to improve their sports fitness training. However, athletes must remember to not only focus on losing weight. It is much more important to lose body fat and maintain muscle, rather than focusing on the number on the scale.

There are some general rules for weight loss. If you are around 100 pounds, you should lose a half pound every week. If you are closer to three or four hundred pounds, you can lose three pounds a week.

As with many things, age and genetics have to be factored in to determine how fast you can lose weight during your sports fitness training. A twenty-year old is going to have a much easier time than a fifty-year old. If you have always been able to do sprints and jumps and are naturally athletic, you will have an easier time losing weight. Someone who excels in distance running will not lose body fat as easy as someone who can sprint and jump.

The last few pounds of fat are always the hardest to lose. Your body tends to cling to these last pounds for fear you are trying to starve yourself.

Remember to not focus on the scale! Muscle really does weigh more than fat. So even though you are exercising and eating well, the scale may not move. This is because you are increasing your muscle. This is not a bad thing during your sports fitness training.  Your clothes will start to fit better, and your energy will increase. You will begin to feel better all around.

I recommend being very careful using the scale. Find an outfit that doesn’t fit you very well. Use this as your watermark for success during your sports fitness training. By eating well, exercising, and maintaining your motivation, you will notice improvements in how you look and feel. Focus on physical performance, not numbers on a machine, and your performance will continue to improve.

There are some types of sports that have to have a specific number on the scale, such as wrestling. These athletes need to monitor their calories, sodium, potassium, and other variables in their workouts. These types of athletes tend to be in tune with their body and know exactly what they must do during their sports fitness training to get their body where they need it.

People who are new to exercise and dieting will feel confused by the scale at first. Remember to not get discouraged!

A better measurement than a scale is a body fat test. This measures the quality, rather than the quantity, of your weight loss. You can lose weight but not body fat, and this is not desirable.

Your body can lose muscle and water while still increasing body fat. People who refuse to eat enough for fear of gaining weight often follow this path. If your body is forced to go long periods without many calories, your body thinks it is being starved and begins to break down muscle fiber for energy. It also starts to store more fat, to use in lean times. This is not a good way to approach your sports fitness training.

A body that is starving considers fat to be more important than muscle. So your body conserves your fat instead of your muscle. In order to lose fat, but not muscle, you need to eat foods that are muscle-building and fat-burning. This is the only way to ensure quality weight loss.

A man’s body fat level should be between 6-9%, and a woman’s should be between 10-14%. Some people can even go lower than this. These are just the optimal levels you want to achieve to be in good shape.

There are instances where a higher level of body fat can be good, and even necessary. In football, for example, an offensive lineman can hold upwards of 20% body fat. In softball, a pitcher will do well to have a higher body fat percentage because more weight may actually generate a stronger force on pitches.

Sadly, our society accepts being overweight as normal. The average body fat for men is over 20% and over 25% for women. This is not just overweight – this is obese. When I tell people what the optimal body fat levels are, they think it is impossible to obtain such numbers. It is not.

Most people in America today eat a diet full of high glycemic carbohydrates, bad proteins, and loads of saturated fat. They eat tons of processed foods and don’t exercise, or they do not understand how to exercise correctly. For proper sports fitness training, this diet and lack of exercise is disastrous.

In just one year of proper diet, exercise and increased motivation, you will be amazed to see the difference in your body.

Types of Body Fat Testing

There are different ways to test body fat. Hydrostatic, or under water, and the Bod-Pod are currently considered to be the best methods. I use a test involving skin fold calipers. With this test, I can see where the fat loss is coming from. I prefer a ten-site test on my clients.

What to Expect When Losing Body Fat

A reasonable goal is to lose one-fourth to one point of body fat percentage per week. Some bodybuilders and advanced athletes will lose more than one point a week. Sometimes this happens because they are using illegal drugs in order to speed up their weight loss. It is much better to lose this weight naturally because drugs often have negative side effects.

Some people want noticeable muscle definition. Places that you desire great muscle definition, such as your arms, shoulders, or abs, need to have a reading on your caliper of less than ten millimeters. Personally, I believe readings below five millimeters are perfect for noticeable muscle definition.

To see what I mean more clearly, take a look at these pictures.

When you do measurements on yourself with a set of body fat calipers, you will instantly understand what I am saying. A stomach that measures 30 millimeters is a stomach that needs some work done! Don’t pacify yourself by claiming you have thick skin. If the site reading is high, you know you are fat at that site. By working on your sports fitness training, you can reduce that fat.  Start improving your diet, exercise, and motivation, and you can watch that fat site start to disappear!

Getting flat abs for women is a little bit harder than for men. The reason being is that women naturally store more fat than men. This is due to the obvious fact that women are ment to produce children and NEED to store fat.

The sad part is that women tend to be taken in by all the miracle diets and fat burning machines out there. More money is spent and wasted on trying to find the miracle cure for belly fat. There just isn’t one. Why do you think that the diet and fitness industry is constantly coming out with “new” ways to supposedly burn fat?

The methods that they push just simply don’t work. I bet you yourself has fallen victim once or twice to all the newest gadgets and pills. If fat could be melted away by taking a pill, obesity would be wiped out.

Getting flat abs for women will require you to give up old eating habits for new ones and to change the way you exercise and think about fat loss. Old habits die hard, but you must learn what works and what doesn’t.

Some of you may think that achieving a sexy flat stomach just isn’t possible. Maybe you have been pregnant a couple of times. Maybe it’s been years since you’ve been to gym. Maybe you think that you are too old to start a workout routine.

None of these things has any effect on whether you can get flat abs. If you make the decision to start now, you could see results as early as 6-7 weeks depending on how much belly fat you need to lose.

The biggest thing that will prevent you from getting the body you want, is you. Stop procrastinating and doubting yourself. Start believing in what you can do and you will get there.
