The short and straight answer is Yes, as long as you moderate your calorie intake. There is no exercise in the world that can help you adapt your physical shape alone without you taking care of your diet and eating habits. Therefore exercise and nutrition go hand in hand.It is a common misconception that you can spot reduce, i.e. by working out in a certain way, you can lose fat off a certain area. It simply doesn't work like that. Fat is stored in genetically preconditioned place. One person may hold body fat on their legs, another one on their belly and a third one on their hips. To a degree this also has to do with your fat intake and exercise habits when you were young. So if you have children be aware that the fat stores are "set up" up until the age of 13. A overweight youngster is highly likely to become an overweight adult.
The plan of attack should be to reduce your overall fat percentage and by doing the correct exercises combined with the right diet adjustments, you can make that happen. If you store fat on your belly then that is where it will most likely come off if you focus is on reducing your fat percentage and improving your diet.So, can treadmill exercise get rid of belly fat Of course it can. It is a great cardio vascular activity that increases your heart rate into your fat burning zone. Make sure you are not too out of breath as body fat gets "burnt up" with the use of oxygen. If you are new to working out on a treadmill, start with power walking and over time increase the speed and add some hill work. Interval training whereby you alternate your training intensity by for instance walking for 3 min followed by jogging for 2 min, is great for fat burning. If you are most accomplished then build up your jogging time and speed on the treadmill, also introducing hill work and again intervals are a great tool. Having said all this I am not a great fan of long treadmill workouts as I believe they can get boring. They serve their purpose especially with an iPod on and if you have the ability to watch the news, but don't underestimate doing the same type of workout in the great outdoors.
This kind of treadmill workout needs to be accompanied by resistance training if you are going to be successful in reducing body fat. Working big muscle groups all in an all over body workout either on machines or even by using body weight is essential.I want to exercise to improve my cardiovascular health. How fast should my heart beat during exercise How long should my workout be and how many times per week These are great questions and ones that more Americans should ask. This article will provide the basic answers to these questions and you don't need expensive gizmos and gadgets.THR is the optimum speed your heart should beat for maximum cardiovascular effect. Too fast and the duration of your exercise session suffers and injury risk rises. Too slow and the cardiovascular system is insufficiently taxed. Staying within a couple beats a minute of THR controls intensity properly.
