Tip One - Cardio
Shorter, high-intensity, interval cardio sessions are optimal for fat loss. Working at a high intensity for 30 seconds to a minute, recovering for 30-60 secs, and repeating for 25 minutes.
Tip Two - Resistance and Weights Training
For an upper body like this, you’d need to do a combination of core/abdominal exercises including crunches over the fit ball, cable wood chops, plank holds, hanging leg raises and controlled leg lowering with partner resistance. And with weight training you get more bang for your buck, increasing your metabolism for up to 48 hours after the session.
Tip Three - Diet
Embracing your inner caveman is also key. Once you have a good base of muscle the rest is all diet. Go crazy with foods that were around 10,000 years ago — vegies and protein. Up to 80 per cent of how you look is what, when and how much you eat. Avoid processed carbohydrates like bread, pasta, cakes, pastries and muffins as carbohydrate molecules bond with water molecules causing water retention and giving you a puffy look. Also stay away from things that have a long shelf life. They contain lots of chemicals and hidden nasties.
Tip Four - Alcohol Intake
As for a six pack, avoid the bottled variety if you really want definition. Alcohol is easily converted into fat, and it impacts your blood sugar, making you crave sugar and fat. It all adds up to a beer gut.
