Lowering your bodyfat %

[Draven Chen Zhen]

Hello everyone ... I was wondering what great exercises are to lower you bodyfat. I know running is a very good one (HIIT training or Guerilla Cardio) and if I'm not mistaking jumping rope also. But the problem is I live in Belgium and it's now winter so * cold and it's raining all the time ... so running isn't fun to do anymore.

 

So I'm looking for some exercises that I can do indoor.

You will lose bodyfat quicker through proper nutrition and weightlifting,along with cardio.

 

I do HIIT,on the treadmill,bike and recently The mini tramp(that's alot of fun)

[Draven Chen Zhen]

I can't do weightlifting cause I haven't got weight, nore have I got the money for them and there isn't a gym in my area.

 

Proper nutrition : I try to eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones. I also eat a lot of cereal and bread and tuna ... drink mostly water ...

 

Are there other things I can eat ?? Are patatos and meet good?

Eating the smaller frequent meals are a start! This will keep your metabolism going.

 

Make sure you get enough protein at least 1 gram for every lb of body weight.

 

Try to eat "real" foods,not processed. Carbs should come from a complex form(as much as possible) Whole grains,vegetables,etc.

 

Meat is fine,choose lean cuts.

 

Sweet potatoes are a better choice over white potatoes.

 

Also,eat healthy fats from olive oil,flax oil or seeds,nuts etc.

 

Stay away from trans fats!

 

That's a start for you.

eating healthy running and i love to hit the rowing machine for a good 15 mins and go as fast as i can. i often wear my boxing wrops when using it as it nackers your hands quicker as the grip is larger and it seems to work my forearms more too.

Jumping jacks, any sort of bagwork or shadowboxing, anything that raises your heartbeat. Nutrition really is the key though. As for the cereal and bread, that's cool if it's whole grain (no processed sugars and grains, white bread is definately bad), try eating that stuff early on, and eating the high protein low-carb stuff in the afternoon. Do cardio in the morning, it'll raise that metabolism up.

Also, watch your diet.

do an ECA stack.. ephedrine caffeine and aspirin.. do some research and drink tons of water with it.. will definately keep your metabolism going overtime all day..

Err... I wouldn't reccomend that, but I guess its up to you to research and decide for yourself, although I'm pretty sure ephedrine has been proven to be dangerous.
