Don't lose it over losing it

Does the word summer make you cringe with fear about trying on your bathing suit?

Well, before you start trying to lose that gut or love handle, know that spot reducing with exercises or using an electric stimulator simply doesnt work.

Losing fat is not a targeted process like building muscle. You need an overall program that includes two big elements.

No. 1 is stamina training: Choose workouts easy on your bones and joints, like rowing, cycling or using an eliptical machine.

No. 2 is resistance training, which is squats,  knee bends or weight lifting.

Train for just 10 minutes, three times a week, to maintain fat-burning muscle mass.

And, finally, eat smaller portion meals for less caloric intake. You'll reduce everywhere and look and feel younger.
