Chest fat is an unsightly problem that plagues both men and women. Unfortunately, it is one of the main trouble spots on the body, making it a tough feat to conquer.
No one wants flabby pecs or floppy boobs and, after some patience and work, chest fat will melt off your body.
There's really no one way to target and burn chest fat. Overall, cardio exercise is the best way to achieve success. The problem is, we live in a "fast food" society.
With computer technology, fast food restaurants, instant make-overs, quick fix pills and plastic surgeries, it is hard to accept the fact that some things take time, not to mention dedication.
Chest fat is not something that will disappear over night. The healthiest, and best way, to rid your body of the flab is to stay active and decrease your calorie intake.
There are some specific exercises that can be done to speed up the chest fat burning process. One of the best forms of exercise is walking. Walking has multiple benefits for the body. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not talking about an evening stroll. I am talking about a brisk, sweat inducing power walk for at least twenty minutes on a regular basis.
Another option for decreasing the flab is an aerobic class. Variety is the spice of life! An aerobic class will have your body moving in all different directions. You'll be burning fat in more places than one and might even have a little fun while you're at it! The more variety you put into your work out, the less likely you are to get bored. Changing things up every once in a while is not only a good way to keep you moving, it also keeps your body from getting used to a specific routine. Switching things every couple of weeks makes your body adjust to different work outs and techniques.
Besides cardio and aerobic activity, strength training should be incorporated in order to tone up the muscle mass in your chest while burning the fat. Push ups are the best form of strength training for your chest because they can be done anywhere and don't require any equipment. Push ups will tone up the pectoral muscles along with the upper back and triceps. If you attend the gym or have an at home gym, lat pull down exercises are also great for toning up chest muscles.
No matter what exercises you do to tone up the chest area or what cardio work out you perform, you won't get maximum results without changing your diet! The quickest way to burn chest fat is to incorporate all three aspects of fitness into your life.
First, a calorie reduction in the diet. Cut out some unnecessary items and remember- it's not always the carbs or the fats that are packing on the pounds or keeping pounds on. Calories are in everything- carbs, fats, proteins, etc. Reduce the calories, reduce the body fat.
Second, a regular cardio exercise routine needs to take place. Take up some sports. Try tennis or racquetball, for example. They're great for the upper body. No matter what you decide, remember to do it on a regular basis and change things up a bit so your body doesn't get used to it after a while.
And third, get some strength training in! Pump those arms and tone up the chest!
Incorporate these three things into your daily routine and watch the chest fat melt away! It's a promise! Oh, and one more thing...be patient. It isn't going to happen over night, but it WILL happen!
