Fitness Tip of the Day: Tuesday's Trunk and Core -- Melt Your Muffin Top/Stop Weighing Yourself!

Today's workout comes from RealFitTV.  It is a core workout called "Melt Your Muffin Top."


Keep in mind that you CANNOT spot reduce!  When you burn fat, it comes off everywhere--you have no control as to where it coming from.

You can, however, do spot toning exercises that focus on a specific muscle group.  It's important to focus also on opposing muscles--so if you are working your abs, you need to work your back as well, the same with chest and upper back, biceps and triceps, etc.

Even more important in reducing belly fat is your diet--cut out the high calorie junk!!!

This workout combines fat burning cardio and core focused muscle toning in an interval format.  You will do a cardio drill for 30 seconds followed by a toning exercise for 60 seconds.

A jump rope warm up is included--you can do it without a jump rope--just jump in place,  If it is too intense, march or jog with high knees.  She does include a stretch at the end.


Here's another video I found regarding weighing yourself that I totally agree with and she explains it really well.  It's called "Stop Weighing Yourself!  F*%# The Scale.
