Time was when fitness aficionados sweating away in gyms and fitness centers were comprised of men. In the early days of fitness, there were no such things as aerobics classes and certainly no female bodybuilders. Those dark, barbaric days of exercising have are long gone and it's now a common site to see women slugging it out in the octagon or pumping iron and getting ripped.
Women now rival the men in gym attendance. Indeed, the fit, athletic look that long defined male sexiness has crossed genders and modern society's basis for female sexiness has gone from the voluptuous Monroe-esque image to the lean tanned surfer chick look complete with six-pack abs.
Female pop stars and actresses idolized by legions of adoring (and imitating) fans spend countless hours in working-out and keeping their bodies and especially their abs lean and trim. It's clear that modern society puts fit females in high regard and this can be evidenced by the popularity of Kerri Walsh, Donna Carano and the Williams sisters.
Modern culture's emphasis on being fit has women working-out as hard as men in fighting belly fat and getting and maintaining six-pack abs. An overwhelming number of both men and women are snapping-up ab machines, diet books and gimmicks in the quest for getting that much sought-after six pack.
Fat-burning creams claimed by their makers to isolate belly fat, diet programs and expensive ab machines that promise a six-pack in a few weeks. These are what cheerleaders, office workers and housewives have been paying good money for just to get a chiseled mid-section in the shortest time possible.
Unfortunately, a large number of women find out all too soon that they've been let down after giving the latest product on the infomercials a try. Fact is, there is no way to really isolate belly fat. The only way to bring-out the abdominal muscles underneath the layer of fat around the midsection is by eliminating body fat first.
Studies have found that the secret to fighting body fat is to keep our metabolism high through the right exercises and healthy eating habits. Incorporating cardio exercises that keep our heart rate just below the maximum rate into our exercise programs can drastically reduce the time it takes to get that sexy six-pack.
Experts have discovered these cardio exercises burn the highest percentage of calories from stored fat rather than from muscle-building glycogen. In burning belly fat, the main goal is fat-loss and not muscle-loss. Losing glycogen by through improper exercise and skipping meals makes us lose out on muscle repair and development and no fitness buff wants that. - 16650
