Reverse the Signs of a Beer-Belly
Millions of people across America are following an undocumented weight management program, the ‘beer lifting’ plan. The diet of hops and barley is pretty simple to follow. It entails leaving the sofa and walking to an icy receptacle to retrieve a cold one. Although lifting is 12 ounces per consumption interval, good work-outs include six stretches from the sofa to the refrigerator.

As simple as the ‘beer lifting’ plan is to follow, the results do not offer the best health benefits. Generally, the adverse effects of the diet include an inflated waistline where the belly protrudes over pants. Since, many beers are high in carbohydrates, it allows the body to collect fat around the middle section.

For people focused on stretching their abdomens into great proportions, the ‘beer lifting’ plan will achieve outstanding results. Alternatively, for the self-conscious there are a few ways to break the beer belly phenomena.

Use the following strategies to counter the beer belly bulge:

• Pull the belly inwards. To flatten the abdomen while improving one’s posture, pull in the naval toward the direction of the spine. Perform the exercise several times a day. Belly dancers use the same movement for controlling abdominal muscles.

• Crunch the stomach. Before you start the ‘beer lift’ plan, do 50 - 100 crunches. Add 20 crunches a week until you are able to perform 200 crunches – at a time.

• Replace beer lift plans with 20 - 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. At least five days of cardiovascular training should be incorporated with two to three days of strength/weight training. Strength training is an important aspect of the cardio-work out because it allows the body to increase the number of calories burned.

• Reduce food portions. Consume food slowly to avoid the habit of overeating. Adequate food intake should never entail a feeling being full.

• Limit ‘beer lifting’. In order to trim the waistline, ‘beer lifting’ should be minimized
