• The best exercise to lose gut and why we do it wrong
  • Why you should worry (and much) have a beer gut

Losing gut is the 'trending topic' of 'fitness'. We all know the road but we are willing to travel it is another story. We are only interested in formulas that have two specific 'last names': fast and effortless . A pity because, as the proverb says, "who wants something, something costs him '. That is, miraculous and brilliant remedies (creams, miracle diets, etc.) are usually nothing more than smoke that ends up fading away. Get face to face with our reality.

What can we really do to start getting rid of the float (marking abdominals already means playing in another league)? Before all, set goals as real as start taking care of ourselves at home .

"The first thing we have to do to lose weight is to take care of our fridge, " says Martín Giacchetta, co-founder of Boutique Gym (Madrid) and personal trainer. How do you do that? "The best way to avoid temptation is not to have it on hand so my advice is to stop buying those foods that will give us a diet ." Because, at this time of the year in which we spend so much time in our home, we all know that "those moments of boredom or anxiety will come when it is easiest to assault the refrigerator in search of an 'easy reward': sweet, processed , etc".

Giacchetta advises to be as active as we can even in the moments we are at home. Marking a 'Marie Kondo' "to get rid of the superfluous or take off winter clothes can become a complete training."

There is also the option of planning a daily exercise routine in which, according to this trainer, "you should not miss push-ups, squats and irons."

HOME CIRCUIT

Instead of killing us to do abdominals in a vain (and painful) attempt to end abdominal fat, from Los Angeles (California), the Spanish physical trainer Diego Calvo proposes a much more effective plan: "Make a global home circuit in that we work the whole body at a high heart rate. "

Why? "In this way, we will be able to accelerate the basal metabolism since, the more muscle groups we involve in training, the more calories we will burn."

What would that circuit be (which we could do three times a week)? Here it goes:

- Stride, starting from an initial position with both knees bent and from there, we start to give a frontal kick (thus we will achieve a very intense abdominal activation).

- Squat with jump , making sure that we lower the whole body well (the jump, as long as we do not have any knees problem to avoid the impact).

-In squat position, lateral strides on one side and another (three each side / 20 repetitions). Buttock activation and greatly increases heart rate.

-Combo of plates: 'superman' (on the hands, we stretch a fist to the Superman, without letting the hip fall and maintaining a correct alignment of the body). We work shoulders, triceps, lumbar, abdomen and quadriceps. 10 repetitions with each arm and hence side plate (20 seconds on each side).

(Complete four repetitions).

WARNING: it is essential to consult a professional about the convenience of starting a training program. Also listen to the calls of our body and stop before any symptoms of discomfort, dizziness or pain.
