The best cardio to banish muffin top


 
 
Got a li’l extra around the middle? It’s all about the intervals. A study found that after two weeks of interval training, women had burned 36% more fat during moderate exercise. We’re in! Keep reading for your  tummy-toning moves.
Pick your fave workout. Intervals work with whichever cardio training you like best. Walking, biking, jogging, swimming, and treadmill or elliptical workouts are all count.
 
Warm up. A five-minute warm-up at a low to moderate intensity will get your blood flowing before you begin any cardio regiment.
 
Pick up the pace. For one minute, increase the intensity of your workout. This could mean running up a set of stairs, biking up an incline or swimming faster, depending upon your workout.

Catch your breath. For two minutes continue at a slower or less intense pace. Try to think of yourself as working at a five on your toughness scale, one meaning you’re exerting little or no effort, and 10 meaning you’re going your absolute hardest.

Repeat. Get into a rhythm. Pick up the pace for a minute and slow down for two minutes. After a couple weeks, your body will get used to the workout. At that point, it’s time to either choose a new type of cardio training or increase the intensity and length of your intervals.

Cool down. Slow way down for the last five minutes of your workout. Be sure to incorporate some stretches into your cool down.

I'm 11. In June, (the last day of school) the whole 6th grade goes to a pool party. I wear a bikini, and I have a muffin top. I really wanna get rid of it! I don't wanna have to suck in my belly all day! I guess I have about 4 months, but I just want to get rid of the muffin top. My mom is always telling my that' I'm not fat, so it's kind of hard for me to go out and run and stuff, so how can I work out and get rid of my muffin top>

 

Hey Girl! Honestly, the best looking body is a healthy body that is obtained by eating right and working out. There's a lot you can do (other than running), if you know of an indoor pool, swimming is absolutely perfect. But so is biking, ice skating, and rollerblading. If you can get classes like dance or zumba, I would highly recommend it (you can also get dvds on your tv or at the store). Mix an hour of that cardio in with 10 minutes of abs a day and you'll be feeling fab!

I was wondering if you could give me an estimate on how long it would take to get a flat stomach doing this three days a week for thirty minutes with ab exercises?

 

Hey girly, Good for you for workout out!  It's tough to say when you'll get a flat stomach. I think you should prob see results in about a month. Your close friends and fam will prob notice in 2 months.
