Got a Spare Tire Around Your Middle? Go To The Garage!

Ok, you can see right away that I've made use of the simple gag of using the description of 'spare tire' to describe a fat belly to tie in to garages who fix cars - I can't even say that I did it particularly well, but in fact I have an important tip to give you if you want to shed that belly fat.

There are good ways to flatten your stomach, and there are bad ways.

Lets' start with the good way.

Imagine if you went to the garage and left your car for them to work on, it needed an all round tune up.

When you go back to collect it, it doesn't look like they've done anything at all to it.

You start it up and it sounds just as bad as it ever did.

You ask the mechanic, who pops open the trunk and says 'ah yes, but look how I've cleaned the spare tire!'

You'd be speechless, and not very impressed.

A mechanic wouldn't just concentrate on one area when the whole car needs a tune up, and in the same way, working on your belly fat as an isolated area will not work.

Why?

Well for start, working on *any* area in isolation is hard work because the body isn't designed like that, it works and reacts as a whole.

Secondly, even if isolation work did work well, the area around the middle is the hardest to get rid of!

You may not believe me, but if you try it, you'll come to see that I am right.

It's not just a theory I came up with, it's basic science fact.

In order to lose belly fat, you need to lose fat all over, and in order to lose fat, you need to combine a reduction in calories with an increase in calorie burning, which will involve some sort of exercise. The best of which is cardio. Cardio will blast that fat better and faster than doing hundreds of crunches.

Of course of you don't fancy that you can try some of the waste of time efforts - pills, gadgets, electric belts.

They simply don't work.

There is one method that does, and whether you choose to use it or not is up to you of course.

So, when you consider how to approach that belly fat, ask yourself how good you'd be as a mechanic, to get your answer!
