Break Out Those Butt Firming Moves.



Have you ever asked a friend, husband or child the question, “Does this make my butt look big?” As women, our backsides are probably the most thought-about part of our anatomies. We’re constantly on the lookout for jeans, pants, shorts or swimsuits that will slim, tuck and hold in our backsides so that we’ll feel more confident when we venture out in public.

A considerable number of fat cells (plenty more than we want) can be found in our backsides, and they aren’t likely to let go easily. You most certainly won’t acquire a tighter, firmer tush without dedicating yourself to a “kick ass” program that will eventually grant your wish.

There are exercises galore designed to tone and trim the butt, but unless you combine them with a good fat-burning diet program ? and a firm commitment, you won’t achieve the results you desire. But, if you’re truly committed to reaching your goal, the results will follow.

The best exercises to firm your butt don’t require a club membership or any special equipment. Walking and/or jogging are two of the desirable ways to tone your butt and get a cardio workout besides. Riding a bicycle and engaging in sports such as tennis, swimming and volleyball will also do wonders for the rear.

Two of the best exercises designed to firm and round out the butt are:
Front Lunges ? With your feet shoulder length apart, step forward with your left foot. Bending at the knee, bring your leg forward until the knee is over the ankle. Return to starting position and repeat with right leg. You may want to hold on to the back of a chair for balance.
Squats ? Stand with feet apart and squat down, keeping your back straight. Return to standing position and repeat several times. You may also use a chair to help keep your balance. Simply squat and let your butt touch the chair before rising to the standing position.
If you tire of the normal firming and toning exercises, try kickboxing for a change. Many health clubs now offer classes in this exhilarating and tension-busting exercise. The carefully controlled kicks combined with an aerobic workout target the butt and leg areas and also burn fat.
Don’t just dream of having a terrific tush ? commit yourself to some hard work and see the results in the mirror and in clothes that fit where it matters.

The Best Aerobic Exercises for Achieving Weight Loss

It’s no secret that people these days are getting fatter. The modern world, with all its technological advances and easy access to fast food, has caused waist lines to expand. Most people are aware of this, but not everyone actually does something to stop it. A big reason for this is people are unsure of the type of exercises they should do. The best exercises for weight loss are aerobic. In order to sustain itself during aerobic exercise, your body needs to use massive amounts of energy. It gets this energy from your fat. As long as you do some aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes, 3-4 times a week, you can stop fat gain in its tracks and start on the road to a lean sexy body. Let’s look at the best aerobic exercises for achieving weight loss.

Bike Riding

If you haven’t been on a bicycle since you were a kid, you are missing out on one of the best fat burning exercises out there. The only thing you need to watch out for is the temptation to coast on a flat stretch of road instead of pedaling. You want to make sure you are putting in a constant effort. If you don’t like the idea of riding a bike all over the road or on trails you can also use a stationary bike set up in your home or the gym. These give the exact same benefit of a real bike with the added bonus that it is impossible to coast.

Stair Climbing

As anyone who has had to stop and catch their breath after going up a flight of stairs can tell you, stair climbing can be hard work. But the benefits are amazing. In addition to the calorie burn, you will also help develop your balance and coordination. Stairs also have the added benefit of giving you a built in rest period while still working out: Going up the stairs is tough and going down the stairs gives you time to catch your breath while still moving. If you want to maximize your fat loss with this exercise, you can also try the stair climbing machine at your local gym, which mimics the experience of only going up stairs thereby accelerating the amount of calories burned.

Swimming


There is a reason all the Olympic swimmers you see on TV look so lean and fit. Swimming may not look like a fat burning exercise, but it is a secret fat burning tool that many people never take advantage of. Because you are in the water, you don’t work up a sweat, and therefore don’t feel you have worked as hard. Swimming uses both your arms and legs and, when done consistently, helps them to look lean and toned. One word of caution; swimming may look easy, but if you haven’t learned correct form, you may tire yourself out too soon and therefore not get all the benefits you should. If you have not had any swimming instruction since you were a kid, you should look for a qualified instructor to give you a few lessons and perfect your form before you try working out alone.

Dancing

This is not social or ballroom dancing. This is dancing that uses the whole body and keeps it moving for a sustained period of time. Think hip hop or Latin style. A current trend in many gyms right now is Zumba, which is a specially designed dance program that focuses on weight loss and improving fitness. And above all, dancing is fun.
Running
For the absolute best calorie burn that results in the most fat burned of any aerobic exercise, all you need to do is literally lace up you sneakers and put one foot in front of the other. Running is the oldest of human aerobic activities. It is what we are built to do. There is no special equipment to buy, (except maybe a good pair of comfortable running shoes) and you can literally start seeing results in a few weeks time.
These aerobic exercises are the best they are at what they do. And what they do is burn fat and help keep it off. But the best part is that you don’t have to choose one. Do as many as you like and mix it up. The more options you have the less likely you are to get bored and quit. Put these aerobic exercises to work for you and soon you too will be the proud owner of a lean, healthy body.

Mayo Clinic has a page which lists types of exercises and the amount of calories you can burn off doing each one in your weight class. Check it out Exercise for weight loss: Calories burned in 1 hour .

About Burn Fat Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto?

Well, I'm 5'7 and I weigh 152 pounds. My body fat percentage is 21%. I want to reduce to 14% – 15%. There are about 2 years I have been really heavy. So I started training, essentially exactly the elliptical and then I reached 160 pounds. After that, I worked constantly for about 5 days per week. However, within 4 months, but I work constantly, I am not able to lose body fat at all. I burn the fat feed muscle program and I do not know what I'm struggling to keep this program.
  My training consists of 35 minutes or elliptical, treadmill or bicycle.
  My BMR is 1558, then from the book, I eat about 1650 calories per day, divided into 4-5 meals.
  I really need help to know why I leveled fat loss?
  Or is there something I am doing wrong? I wondered if my body has adapted to the elliptical because I have done for so long?
  Any information / corrections would certainly help.
