Articles

Here are a number of articles you can add to your site or send out to your lists. Just add your hoplink where you want it placed and it's good to go!

Article 1 : Burn Calories Walking

When looking for an effective weight loss routine that virtually everyone can enjoy, do not overlook or estimate the effects of walking. You may be surprised at how you can burn calories walking; and actually burn just as many as other forms of exercise.

While the speed, incline, terrain and other outside elements may play a role in exactly how many calories you can burn by walking, the average for a brisk or moderate walk is 100 calories per mile. This is also based on the average of 2000 steps per mile and a time average of 15 minutes per mile. This is considered a moderate workout to burn calories walking.

Styles of Walking

Not all walking routines are the same. There are styles that affect the effectiveness of your workout. There four basic walking styles are:

1. Lifestyle walking
2. Fitness walking
3. High energy walking
4. Walk/ run

Lifestyle walking may be best described as a stroll or leisurely walk around the block or mall. This is the lowest intensity walking style and is not considered the most efficient way to burn calories walking; but it is still a beneficial way of staying in shape. Fitness walking burns more calories than lifestyle and moderately increases your heart rate. High energy walking is a very fast paced form and is considered a step below jogging. The walk/run involves working in periods of running into the walking routine. A typical outline of the walk/run style would entail walking for five minutes and then breaking into a run for one or two minutes.

Ways to Increase the Amount of Calories Burned

Besides the obvious technique of quickening the pace in order to burn calories walking, there are other techniques you can incorporate into your walking routine. One way to ensure you are really getting the most out of the walk is to bend your arms at a 90 degree angle from the elbow. You can pump your arms back and forth to increase the amount of calories burned.

The way you step also influences the way in which you burn calories walking. Stepping heel to toe and pushing off of your toes is the best way. You can also adjust the incline. If you have just a 5% incline, you will actually burn up to 50% more calories.

Taking what is referred to as the talk test can determine if you are truly challenging yourself and getting the most out of your workout. If during the toughest incline or portion of your walk, you still can speak without any struggle, you are not challenging yourself enough. Without a certain amount of struggle or enough of an increase in heart rate, you will not burn calories walking more than you would just strolling around. On the other end of the spectrum, if you find yourself struggling to breath and gasping for air when you try to talk during your walk, then you are pushing yourself too hard.

Equipment Involved

Just because you already have two feet does not mean you have everything necessary to get the most out of a walking workout. Just as with most exercise routines, there are certain things you need to really burn calories walking. The most important piece of equipment is proper walking shoes. Shoes made for walking with a low heel and flexible sole are ideal and will be the most comfortable. Shoes that feel light and are made of breathable fabric are beneficial. Ensuring the proper fit is extremely important in choosing a walking shoe.

It is recommended that you replace your walking shoes every three to six months if you walk regularly and for great lengths. A pedometer is also a helpful piece of equipment. They make pedometers that not only tell you the number of steps or distance you have walked; but also easily outline the calories you have burned. This information can help you adjust your routine to burn calories walking in the most effective way possible.

Article 2: Exercises to Lose Belly Fat

Whether you have a post-menopausal pouch or a bulging beer belly, it's time to start learning exercises to lose belly fat. Unfortunately, too many people think that hitting the sit-ups will lead to abs worthy of a magazine cover.

However, health and fitness experts agree that ab exercises alone won't give you the coveted six-pack. Why? When you eat that thick, juicy hamburger you have no control over where the fat is deposited. Likewise, when it's time to lose fat you have zero control over what part of the body will become trim first. That's why fitness experts recommend a full-body program that increases the metabolism for all-over fat burn.

Check out these 4 go-to strategies for losing that belly fat and gaining six-pack abs:

1. Become a cardio champ - When it comes to exercises to lose belly fat, few are as effective as old-fashioned cardio. These exercises, like jogging or swimming, are designed to boost the rate at which the body burns calories. Intensity is the key to a belly fat busting cardio workout. 
For results you can see, be sure to choose aerobic exercises that use all the muscles in the core of the body, including the chest, abdomen, back, and pelvis. Tennis, swimming, and even intense yoga all burn calories by utilizing muscles throughout the body. 
Practice aerobic exercises for a minimum of 20 minutes each session. And since you'll be investing some time into these exercises to lose belly fat, pick an activity you enjoy. After all, it's harder to get to the gym when the mere thought of donning the swimsuit has you tied up in a stressed-out knot.

2. Strength training -It's still common to imagine strength training as a way to bulk up to Conan-sizes proportions. The truth is that building muscles is fast becoming one of the most effective exercises to lose belly fat. The primary reason strength training has transformed into a must-have belly buster is that it builds muscles throughout the body-muscles that, pound for pound, burn more calories than fat. Quite simply, a well-toned body increases the metabolism, which burns the fat you have and prevents new fat from being deposited.

3. Interval training - These exercises to lose belly fat are surprisingly effective. They alternate sets of high intensity periods with sets of low intensity. For example, 20 minutes of heavy-duty spinning might be followed by 10 minutes of slow spinning. The down time ensures that when the heavy workout resumes, the body will operate at its maximum intensity-in other words, you'll burn more calories which means you'll burn more fat.

4. Targeted exercises - It's true that targeted exercises to lose belly fat by themselves aren't effective. However they do help build muscle tissue, which consumes calories at a higher rate than fat tissue. As a bonus, the targeted strengthening will tone the tummy so after the fat melts away you'll reveal a trim and fabulously toned stomach.

According to fitness experts, exercises to lose belly fat include basic, reverse, and oblique (or side) crunches. The bicycle exercise is another common ab flattener. Whatever exercises you choose, be sure to perform 3-4 sets during each session. It's also an effective technique to vary the exercises, a strategy that challenges the muscles to work in different ways.

Remember, if the last time you worked out was during high school gym class or if you have a medical condition like diabetes talk to a medical professional before starting any exercise program.

You can find exercises to lose belly fat by taking a well-rounded approach to fitness. Use a variety of programs, from cardio to interval training, add targeted ab-toning exercises, and you'll soon find yourself the proud owner of abs that will make you the envy of your friends.

Article 3: Fat Loss Diet

The fat loss diet - urban myth or real -life solution to your weight loss goals? The fact is that dropping pounds isn't just for diet ad spokespersons. You can eliminate the fat by making smart lifestyle changes. Here are 8 ways to say �no� to flab and �hello� to fabulous.

1. Eat frequently - Starving the body of the nutrition it needs is a surefire way to decrease the metabolism-and that eventually results in packing on those pounds you're trying to lose. An effective fat loss diet includes consuming smaller amounts of food more frequently. Although advice varies, many experts recommend eating from four to six meals a day, or every two to three hours.

2. Portion control - One way to sabotage a fat loss diet is to continue to eat the super-sized portions that many of us have become accustomed to. After all, who doesn't love a great big helping of a tasty food? Chances are, though, that portion control is playing a big role in how big you've become.

Part of any effective fat loss diet includes knowing when enough is enough. Here are adult-sized portion sizes you should look for:

- Protein (chicken, beef, etc.) - a deck of playing cards
- Fat (butter, olive oil, salad dressing, etc.) - a water bottle cap
- Carbohydrates (pasta, bread, etc.) - a Rubik's cube
- Cheese - six dice
- Fish - a checkbook

3. Make alterations - You don't have to give up your favorite breakfast sandwich or pizza if you're on a fat loss diet. Instead, simply replace the worst offenders in the recipe with healthier ingredients. For example, if you're a pizza hound, create your own waist-friendly version using less cheese and more veggie toppings. Using a thinner, whole-wheat crust also eliminates calories.

4. Soda, soft drinks, and pop, liquid sugar! - It's important to eliminate these fat loss diet busters as well as the sugar that makes them taste so good. Additionally, an increasing body of evidence shows that diet sodas aren't the answer either. One study, for example, found that diet soft drinks were linked to weight gain increases of up to 41%.

If soda is your bad habit of choice, start slowly by replacing one helping of pop with a glass of water. You might also replace soda with a glass of green tea, which studies suggest may provide a boost in calorie burning as well as a dose of body-friendly antioxidants.

5. Give yourself a break - When a parent tells a child to stop touching something, what's the only thing that child wants to do? Touch the forbidden item, of course. A fat loss diet is no different. Take one day off each month to indulge in the treats you love.

6. Stay in - The lure of takeout can be hard to beat when you've already worked a full day and still have to taxi kids to afterschool activities. Yet a Consumer Reports study suggests that people who stay thin are more likely to eat in at least five days a week.

Don't get stressed about being a master chef, though. Slash evening cooking time by doing some of the grunt work in the morning. For example, chop veggies while you wait for the morning coffee to brew. You can also save time by breaking out the slow cooker that's been collecting dust. Throw ingredients in the pot that morning to enjoy a fully-cooked meal when you come home.

7. Eat out like Einstein - You can eat out when you're on a fat loss diet - just be smart about it. One easy way to cut calories is by getting a handle on portion size. For example, split appetizers or entrees with friends, order from the kids' menu, or ask the server to put half of the entr�e into a doggie bag before the meal is brought to you. Watch calorie-packed alcohol intake while you're out, too. Stick to one drink while you're eating.

8. Get more ZZZ's - Experts say that getting just one extra hour of sleep every night reduces calorie intake up to 6%. How does that work? When sleep is lost, two hormones, ghrelin and leptin, aren't released properly. As a result, it can be hard to know when to start and stop eating. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, getting more rest can be an important part of your weight loss solution.

The fat loss diet is not a myth. By following these simple strategies you'll quickly start shedding ugly, unwanted, and unhealthy pounds to reveal a slimmer, sexier you.

Article 4: Fat Burning Exercises

When it comes to getting in shape, toning up or losing a few pounds, burning fat is the key. However, fat burns slowly and it takes effort to rid your body of it. A workout routine or activities that act specifically as fat burning exercises is the key to getting the results you want.

Light exercise routines that require 20 minute sessions three times a week will help you maintain where you are along with a healthy diet. But, light exercise burns fewer calories and does not burn a great deal of fat. Age, along with intensity or the workout, also plays a role in the amount of fat and calories burned during any given routine.

Types of Fat Burning Exercises

One goal of any routine aimed at burning off fat is to get maximum burn time. It is a notable fact that when you engage in high intensity exercises, you dramatically raise your metabolic rate. This means you not only burn more fat during the actual workout; but your body continues to burn fat hours after you have finished your workout.

Weight Lifting--One very effective way to burn fat is through weight lifting. Using ergonomic machines at the gym specifically target muscle groups. Working different muscle groups and increasing weight resistance as you go helps your body burn fat and builds more muscle.

Aerobic exercises--fat burning exercises that are aerobic in nature are also necessary for the best results. Aerobic exercises increase your heart rate. Getting the heart rate up increases oxygen flow to the muscles and increases the muscles efficiency in utilizing that oxygen. It is helpful to switch your routine around to keep it fresh and to keep it a challenge.

Specific Fat Burning Exercises

One very popular workout specifically for burning fat is spinning. This fast paced stationary bike workout is done with an instructor and involves very challenging inclines and speed increases.

Another great fat burning workout is to use free weights while doing lunges. You can burn fat effectively also by holding the free weights out in front of you and bending your knees. Then, hold the position and pull the weights in to your chest as you straighten your legs.

High impact fat burning exercises, such as rock climbing and rowing, work the entire body. Rock climbing can burn up to 350 calories per hour and works the arms and legs. Rowing can burn up to 600 calories per hour and really tones arms.

Skiing works the upper and lower body and gives you an entire workout. You can easily burn up to 300 calories per hour on the slopes.

Simple variations in your routine can maximize the fat burning exercises you enjoy. If power or speed walking is what you enjoy, walk for five minutes then briskly jog for two. You can also jog for five then sprint for 30 seconds for an instant burst of fat burning potential. Squats are also effective for burning fat and can be done anywhere. Using stairs or even a bench to do step ups is a great fat burning technique also.

Activities that are ideal for burning fat and also all around beneficial to your health and wellness include boxing and dancing. Boxing with gloves and a bag build strength, power and endurance. Even without a bag, you can use free weights to jab and step forward for fat burning results. Dancing instantly gets the heart rate up and kicks off your body's fat burning system. Dancing styles such as salsa and Zumba are widely popular in most gyms. Dancing can burn anywhere from 600 to 800 calories per hour.

Tools to Get the Job Done

While joining a gym may be necessary for some of these fat burning exercises, most can be done comfortably anywhere and with minimal investment. For fat burning, resistance bands, an exercise ball, light free weights and the proper footwear is all you need to start burning away fat.

Article 5: How to Get a Flat Tummy

Nothing can make more of a difference in how you look in your clothes than a flat, well-defined stomach. For some people, figuring out how to get a flat tummy is as simple as doing some toning exercises to get rid of a little bulge. Unfortunately, for most, it is a matter of getting rid of the excess fat that is covering the abdominal muscles and getting their abs in shape. For those who have more to lose, flat getting the tummy you want can be a difficult job.

A Flat Tummy is Healthier and More Attractive

Not only is it important to find out how to get a flat tummy to improve your appearance but stomach fat has also shown to be connected to a higher risk of sever serious health conditions. Even if your little bulge is the only noticeable fat on your entire body, it can cause you to have an increased risk of hypertension, adult Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gallbladder disease and some types of cancer. That means that even if you think your bulge is a small problem, you need to get rid of it before it can cause serious consequences.

A Sensible Approach to Diet and Exercise Can Get You the Results You Want

When asked how to get a flat tummy and get rid of the excess fat, most professionals will advise you that the most important step you can take is to participate in moderate intensity exercises for at least thirty minutes every day. Keep in mind that you must work harder to get the fat off than you will to maintain a flat stomach and prevent putting the fat back on. Gradually work strength training (working out with weights) into your plan to help increase muscle mass and improve your metabolism. You can also do exercises that target the entire group of abdominal muscles so that they are strong and defined for when the fat is gone!

Naturally, every recommendation for how to get a flat tummy is going to focus on your diet. You simply can not eat junk food all day regardless of how much you are exercising and expect to flatten your stomach. If you already eat healthy, then just reduce your portion size to cut back on the number of calories consumed. Otherwise, focus on replacing some of your unhealthy choices with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. You will be surprised at how easily you can make better choices that will start to show sooner than you ever imagined.

There Are No Shortcuts to Getting a Flat Tummy

Although there are numerous diets, exercise programs, and workout machines and gadgets that promise you they are the answer for how to get a flat tummy,  there is no single pill you can take or exercise machine you can use that will give you defined abs. Although a machine that has you doing sit-ups more comfortably without the strain on your back may really work at making sit-ups easier, that doesn't change the fact that sit-ups alone will not give you a flat tummy even if you do a thousand every day. Even if you have no fat on your stomach, a single exercise will not work all of the abdominal muscles needed to create a flat, toned stomach.

If you are serious about finding how to get a flat tummy, then you will need to make a strong commitment to yourself to stick with the plan. If all of us followed the weight loss and fitness plans that we started, we would probably be successful, at least to some degree. That's why it is important to come up with an exercise and diet plan that makes sense and that will help you eat smarter and stay fit and trim for the rest of your life.

Article 6: Ways To Burn Calories

Everyone knows if you want to lose weight and be in better shape, you need to burn more calories than you take in. There are plenty of ways to burn calories whether you are looking to count dusting as an exercise or you want to know how high impact your routine really is.

Easy Ways to Burn Calories without Even Trying

Every activity you do and even inactivity burns some calories. Your body burns calories as fuel to everything including breathing and sleeping. Therefore, it goes without saying formal exercise routines are not the only way for you to burn calories. Simple housework burns calories. Whether you are busy running laundry up and down the stairs, or making beds, you are burning calories with every movement. Vacuuming is one of the best ways to burn calories around the house. Using broad strokes or quick vigorous strokes when you are washing windows also burns a significant amount of calories. Dusting around the house is another simple way to burn calories while you are at home.

Outside of the house, there are countless simple ways to burn calories. One tip to keep in mind if your goal is to simply up the number of calories you burn throughout your average day is to park further away from the door. Whether you are shopping or driving to the office, this tip can make a huge difference over time. You may also want to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Climbing stairs burns a lot of calories compared to pushing a button.

There are plenty of other times throughout the day when you can incorporate easy ways to burn calories. While waiting in line, sway back and forth or tap your toes. While this doesn't result in drastic weight loss, it does burn calories you otherwise would not have burned. Fidgeting in line, at your desk, or at home keeps your body moving.

Number of Calories Burned During Daily Activities:

Vacuuming - 100 to 200 calories per hour
Gardening - up to 350 calories per hour
Shoveling snow - 400 to 500 calories per hour
Painting a room - 300 to 400 calories per hour
Bowling - 250 calories per hour
Stretching or yoga - 200 to 300 calories per hour
Dusting - 150 calories per hour

More Intense Ways to Burn Calories

While burning a moderate amount of calories by doing more around the house or making simple changes in your daily routine is a start, in order to really see the fruits of your labor you will want to step up your calorie burning activities. The following are more intense or high impact activities that will help you burn more calories.

Rowing - 500 to 600 calories per hour
Racquetball - 800 calories per hour
Step aerobics - 800 calories per hour
Elliptical machine - 600 calories per hour
Boxing - 450 calories per hour
Jumping rope - 700 to 800 calories per hour

How Do the Calories Burned Really Affect Weight Loss?

Knowing how many calories you are burning and different ways to burn calories is only part of the knowledge you need to lose weight. In order to loss one pound of fat, you need to burn 3500 calories. Since it is best to only lose one pound a week, this means you have to burn 500 calories a day for a full week. Burning 500 calories a day is only effective if you are not taking in too many calories. Basically, if you are replacing those burned calories by taking more in, you will never see the pounds come off. You need to either eliminate those 500 calories from your diet each and every day or you need to maintain the calories you take in while working to burn off more than before. Keeping track of the calories taken in and the calories burned is the first step to successfully using the information to be a fitter and trimmer you.

Article 7: How to Get Abs

Many people spend years trying to find out how to get abs that will make them look great in their clothing or in a swimsuit. Sit-ups were thought to be the key to chiseling your middle for many years but today we know that there is much more involved in getting washboard abs or just a flatter stomach than repeating a single exercise. Although the muscles in the abdominal area are what are responsible for giving it a washboard or chiseled appearance, it is the fat that covers the muscles that causes us to have a different look to our stomach than we want. If you are going to get results and create the abs you want, then you must address both the muscles and the layer of fat in the abdominal region.

Getting to Know Your Abdominal Muscles

The reason that sit-ups are not the answer to how to get abs that will make you proud is that they only work one of the abdominal muscles, the most superficial of the six, the rectus abdominus. Although this is the muscle that gives the six-pack appearance, the other muscles also play a part in the appearance of your abs as well as in their function. The deepest abdominal muscle is the transverse abdominal muscle which runs across your body from the ribs to the hips. It wraps around your trunk and supports the organs in your trunk as well as the other abdominal muscles, providing balance and support.

The internal obliques are the muscles on the sides of the torso and they are responsible for the rotating movements of the spine. They also contribute to the definition of your waistline. There are also two external obliques that are not as deep as the internal obliques and are somewhat responsible for rotation of the spine.

Defined Abs Require a Team Effort from Your Muscles

Any exercise program that shows you how to get abs should include exercises that will work all of the muscles in the abdominal group. Any exercise program that works the entire core should include all of these muscles. The core muscles are basically those in the trunk of the body that are responsible for supporting you during all of your normal functions including walking and doing household chores. The exercises you do to develop definition of the abdominal muscles will be those that use weight or resistance in order to increase the muscle mass.

Fat burning exercise should also be part of your program on how to get abs. There is a deep layer of visceral fat that lies over the abdominal muscles to protect your organs. However, if there is too much fat in the area, the abdominals will not be visible no matter how many exercises you do to add definition. Cardiovascular exercise that is used to burn fat all over your body should be done for at least thirty minutes a day for a minimum of five days a week in order to burn the fat. However, if there is excess fat on other areas of your body,  no exercise is going to get rid of the abdominal fat without burning fat in other areas of the body as well. If you are quite a bit overweight, you may find that you will have to lose all of the fat before you get rid of the excess flab that is covering your abdominals.

Don't Forget the Importance of Eating Right

Diet is also an important part of how to get abs. You simply can not eat thousands of calories each day and live on junk food and still lose the excess fat. Our bodies are complex machines that make nutrition an important feature of any weight loss program. Instead of trying a fad diet to lose weight fast, learn about nutrition and make eating healthy a way of life. You can learn how to get abs that will make you feel confident but you should also make maintenance an important part of your plan.
