Doing something for our belly flabs to be healthier and faster

Real Cyclists

Our birthday bash pictures in Pansol showed the majority of Recyclists to be having belly flabs.  Now that is a handicap because this means there is fat:   at the liver, heart and lungs.  MDs and wellness experts are saying that your longevity is inversely proportional to the size of your waist.  Those whose waist size is beyond 40 are not very likely to live beyond their mature age.

A leaner weight means we can bike faster.  We spend much to have lighter bikes;  we can be lighter too we can do this by having less.


So let us do something about our bellies:

l.   Do planking exercises

2.  Mind your diet;   avoid softdrinks, sugary drinks with high fructose corn syrup;  drink beer in moderation.  Avoid carbs before sleeping.  Avoid food that turn on your fat switch (like the high glycemic index) This has something to do with your leptin level.

When you take low GI food, you produce less insulin which makes your leptin level go up.  High leptin level ---> metabolizes fat and makes you lose appetite.  The same action from taking metformin


3. You can take metformin an anti diabetic drug to shed fat.

4.  Do these type of exercises: (to up the basic metabolic rate;  even at rest you will be burning fat

     l.  High intensity exercise (interval training) in biking.  30 secs of high intensity efforts;  one minute rest, 5 to 8 reps

     2.  For other exercises do the exercise longer;  say you do an exercise for 4 seconds, double the time make it 8 seconds.  You will get stronger and fitter.
