Lose weight even with a busy lifestyle

The modern day dad is always busy. First, they have to work hard to provide for their family’s needs. They have to send their kids to school and attend to some extra curricular activities. They are also expected to help in the household chores and perhaps even cook when mom is not around. This is the reason why most dads have big bellies. Year in and year out, their busy schedule hinders them from having any form of exercise. And no matter how much effort they take in following a healthy diet, they still end up with a gut that keeps on getting bigger. They may have dropped beer from their daily routine, but the beer belly has grown that big that it is difficult to shed the extra fats.

What’s more, dads are not the most suited in reading and understanding the various workouts provided by various fitness magazines especially those articles written by individuals who do not have any clue on how it is being a busy dad. So how does one busy dad get rid of those unwanted weight? How does he deal with the little time he has to do some physical activity and workout some unwanted stomach fat? Here are some friendly tips for busy dads who want to become slimmer and healthier.

First, it is important that busy dads do some resistance training. It does not mean that dads should head to a nearby gym and punish themselves with intense training. This is not practical since dads obviously do not have the time to engage themselves in such rigorous training.

Busy dads can do some workouts at home by using their own bodyweight and a couple of dumbbells. Dads can engage in effective and intense workouts at home in as short as 15 minutes. This is certainly good news for dads since they do not have to devote a lot of time doing these workouts.

They can do simple exercises like 15 repetitions of push ups; DB lunge of 10 repetitions for each leg, resting 30 seconds and then repeating them. The set continues with DB rows for 8 repetitions; DB incline chest press for 8 repetitions; and Mt. Climber for 30 seconds, taking a 30 second rest and then repeating.

Also, busy dads can benefit from having a healthy and well-rounded diet. Busy dads should remove liquid calories from their intake by staying away from alcohol, soda, sweetened teas, and coffee drinks. It is better to drink zero calorie drinks such as water and green tea. This can help busy dads lose weight as much as 8 pounds in a week.

Busy dads should also make sure that they minimize their portion sizes. They should cut their portions down by at least a half, and this would provide serious and dramatic results. It is also recommended that busy dads eat fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and almonds.

Busy dads should also engage in interval training. This involved mixing high intensity exercises with lower intensity exercises. For instance, dads can do some time in a stationary bike. After warming up, mix a few bouts of intense cycling for around 30 seconds, then lower the intensity for another 60 seconds. Repeat this for 5-6 times, then dads can cool down.

These are just some of the easy and effective ways for busy dads to lose stomach fat as fast as possible. This way, busy dads can get rid of their ugly belly while still having time for their family and friends. Remember these simple tips and you will certainly lose stomach fat quickly and easily.
