How to lose belly fat fast: morning exercise program

Image
Hi! 1. Introduction: my new exercise program to lose belly fat fast It's been a while since I came up with a new "own" exercise program, but I can assure you that I have been exercising diligently every morning, mostly using Youtube but occasionally doing my own thing. I have consistently been losing belly fat, although I have probably also lost a little weight (I  hope not, I hope I have been replacing fat with muscle! :).  The following program is a mix of cardio, standing abs, Pilates and yoga. As always, I am using a towel , a mat, ankle and wrist weights and extra weights . For two of the exercises you will need a high step or a chair. 2. My music suggestions for my Lose Belly Fat Fast Program: Michael Jackson's You really turn me on Katy Perry's Roar! Shakira's Loca 3. The Exercise Program: 1. Cat/cow yoga pose  to loosen the back and strengthen the abs. Start on our hands and knees, inhale deeply, and curve your back downwards.

Training with a quad injury

Hi! About 2 weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my right quadriceps (the big thigh muscle on the front of your leg). It got more and more painful and in the weekend the leg was swollen from the hip to the knee. I went to see a medic on Monday but he reassured me that it was injury from training, nothing else. No inflammation either, he checked. We're now 10 days since it ocurred and I have a big bump on my inner thigh, about the size of a spread-out hand and the leg swells up whenever I am active such as working in the garden or being out on a field trip in Pålsjö skog with a biology class. I don't want to make it worse, but I do want to train. The main problem is that it is painful for me to bend the knee (I have lean down to put shoes on). So I need to exercise without bending the right knee too much. So here is one of my adapted workouts. No equipment needed, but I did use weights . 1. Tricky cat with weights: Stand on hands and knees. Extend the right arm at the same time
