Your Last Bit Of Body Fat May Be Water Retention

Water Retention Might Be Preventing You From Getting The Definition You Want 

What you believe may be the last bit of body fat could very well be water. If your body fat level is pretty low and your body is really lean in some areas and not as lean in other parts, you should read this. You see your body tends to hold water under your skin unless you take certain precautions. This is called subcutaneous water and it could prevent you from looking ripped.



What Causes Water to Get Stored Under The Skin?

Your body stores water just like it stores fat. It is obviously an important part of keeping you alive like fat storage. Subcutaneous water is what you want to minimize and it's caused by a couple of things. When you have too much sodium in your system, water binds to that sodium and causes this water retention. The more excess sodium in your system, the more likely you will end up with this layer of water under your skin.

Does Your Sweat Taste Salty?

In simple terms, subcutaneous water is cause by salt trapped under the skin. When you sweat, you excrete water along with the sodium under your skin. If you sweat and it has a salty taste to it, odds are that you have too much sodium trapped under your skin and you have a decent amount of water retention. The good news is that once you minimize this excess water, you will look much more defined.

How to Get Rid of This Excess Water

You would think that the best way to get rid of this problem would be to drink less water and eliminate sodium from your diet. This is not a good approach. You want to limit your sodium intake to a healthy level and you actually want to drink more water not less. This actually causes your body to release more water through urination, so a lot of that sodium gets washed away in the process. If you drink enough water, you will greatly reduce water retention. The nice thing is that your skin will look better as a result.

Sweating is a Great Technique to Rid The Body of Excess Sodium

If you want to minimize that excess water for an event like going to the beach the following day, here is a great strategy. Begin your morning by drinking a bunch of water. Keep drinking water throughout the day. In the afternoon go to the gym for a light workout, but be prepared to hit the cardio hard. Work up a sweat with intense cardio and make sure you sip on water throughout the cardio session. Keep sweating until your sweat no longer tastes salty. If it still tastes salty after your cardio session, hit a sauna and bring a bottle of water, or take breaks to drink water out of a fountain. Sweat until that sweat is just pure water. After your workout, minimize your sodium intake and keep drinking water until bed time. You will look amazing the following day...no water retention!

Lose Body Fat Not Muscle - How To Lose Body Fat Without Losing Muscle

4 Tips To Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Muscle

Like many people that work out, you probably have a bit more excess fat stored on your body than you would like. Lots of guys who are in gyms lift hard during the year to gain mass, but they also have gained some fat during this period of time. If you want to get an attractive body, you will need to bring your body fat percentage a low level.



Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Muscle Tip 1: Continue to Lift Heavy During This Dieting Period

One common thing people do wrong is that they want to lift at high reps to acheive muscle tone. Muscle tone is mainly brought about by having a low body fat level, not the type of lifting you are performing. The reason you want to continue lifting heavy and gain strength is because you need to make sure you don't lose that muscle you've worked hard to earn. If you lift light at high reps, your body would not have a reason to keep that muscle mass.

Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Muscle Tip 2: Reduce Body Fat at A Slow Rate

You need to give yourself sufficient time to get lean. Many people try to get into shape 2 months before summer or a vacation. I recommend preparing at least 3-4 months, if you want to get ultra-lean without losing your muscle mass. The slower you reduce body fat, the less likely you will lose muscles. This makes sense because in order to lose body fat you need to consume less calories than what you use up and you need to perform a significant amount of cardio. In order to drop fat quickly, you have to go too low in calories to maintain the current amount of muscle you have. You will lose muscle mass. If you create a slight calorie deficit and lose only 1 to 2 pounds a week, you are much better off.

Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Muscle Tip 3: Perform High Intensity Interval Training

High Intensity Interval Training is the best form of cardio to burn off body fat without losing muscle mass. To confirm this, let's compare these 2 different types of cardio in a real life setting. Sprinters have much more muscle than marathon runners. Sprinters perform a quick burst of effort, followed by a period of resting. Marathon runners train using the "slow and steady cardio" that is recommended by most trainers. I don't know about you, but I would rather look like a sprinter. When you hit cardio, alternate intense sprinting type efforts for 30 seconds followed by a minute or so of a less intense effort. Continue this pattern for 15 minutes. You will burn body fat while keeping that hard earned muscle.

Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Muscle Tip 4: Eat a "Realistic" Strict Diet

If your diet plan is too strict, you would not be able to stick to that diet for very long. My rule of thumb is this. I try to make sure that at least 75% of my meals are really clean and low calorie. If I decide to eat a bit of junk, I will try to make sure I do so after a long and hard workout. Also, I will eat low carbs during the day before my workout, to maximize the amount of fat burned in my workout. If you have too much carbs in your system while working out, your body will burn carbs instead of the fat off your body. This really makes a big difference in your quest to reduce body fat.

Getting Six Pack Abs - How To Really Get A Six Pack Abs

What is the one thing that all of the popular models and most film stars have in common? The simple answer is six pack abs. A defined middle section is considered to be the Holy Grail of fitness. If someone has defined abs, that person is usually considered to be in extremely good shape. I believe this may be due to the fact that fat in the abdominal area is usually the last to go, so if someone is defined in that area they're probably in great shape all over. The strange thing is that if you go into most gyms, you may find that below 5 percent of the trainees actually have six pack abs. Why is that so? This is due to the fact that lots of people do not accurately understand what it takes to get a six pack abs.



Will Working the Core Muscles Get You A Six Pack Abs?

Most people in gyms these days largely focus on core exercises. They are advised by personal trainers to do all sorts of crazy exercises on exercise balls which supposedly forces the body to stabilize itself using "core muscles." Focusing on the core muscles supposedly tones the abs to achieve a six pack abs. I see personal trainers devoting close to 1/2 of the client's time focusing on exercises which work the core. The funny thing is that despite doing this week after week none of these people do not get closer to getting six pack abs.

Will Performing Tons of Crunches Give You Get You A Six Pack Abs?

Another advice given to people is to work the abdominal area hard every day. There are many exercises that focus directly on the abdominal muscles. Lots of people use various floor exercises such as crunches or sit-ups. People also use machine workouts in their quest for a six pack abs. Some people recommend working the abs every day or every other day. Many of them tell you to use high reps and no weight or heavy weight like every other muscle. I see many people do this every week and guess what..not many of those people have six pack abs!

Learn from Someone Who Has Six Pack Abs.

I have a very defined midsection I maintain year round, however it was not always this way. I followed the different recommendations above and failed to get that six pack look. Believe it or not, a back injury helped me figure out what works best to get six pack abs! Let me elaborate...I sustained a back injury 5 years ago and was unable to perform any crunch movement without pain. I was bummed out, because I had a vacation to Cancun planned 8 months later. I wanted to look great in a swimsuit and have firm six pack abs. I had to give up on working my abs directly for 8 full months! I was convinced that my abs would look flabby. A crazy thing happened...I had amazing six pack abs in time for my vacation and I didn't do one ab exercise for 8 months!

My Approach to Getting Six Pack Abs.

Okay, since that time I haven't worked abs directly at all and my midsection looks better than ever. I am convinced that having six pack abs showing is 95% about your body fat percentage and maybe 5% or less about working the abs. You see, all of us already have a nice six pack...it is just hidden under a layer of fat. I guarantee that if you get your body fat to 10% or lower, you will have amazing six pack abs for the world to see. My recommendation is to drop your ab workout and spend that time on cardio. You want nice abs? Hit the Treadmill or the Elliptical Machine. Seriously, it's the only way you will ever see those abs.
