Get Abs with High Intensity Workouts!

Get Abs with High Intensity Workouts!


by Jane Lane


If you continue to exercise without proper fluid intake, you may experience a drop in blood pressure; feel faint, dizzy or nauseous. These are the symptoms of heat exhaustion. If you keep going, your body's ability to dissipate heat is further impaired and you may suffer heat stroke. Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with a yellow or amber color indicates that you are not getting enough water.

Does it work? Obviously it does not work because there are still so many fat people around although they are working out with low intensity exericies isn't it? Why is that so? Well, the scientists were right when they said that our bodies burn more body fat during low intensity exercises like walking or a leisurely swim. But during a high intensity exercise like running, our bodies burn a lot more calories. Even if some of the calories burnt are from glycogen, we will still burn many fat calories as well.

Drink a glass of water every fifteen minutes during your workout. This may sound like a lot, but it is necessary to keep you hydrated. If you can't drink that much water at once, take smaller amounts every ten minutes. Seemingly tough at first, once you schedule it into your regular training routine, you will quickly adapt to having fluid in your stomach. In fact, the fuller your stomach is, the faster it will empty. Gastric emptying is greatly influenced by its volume. Emptying rate decreases exponentially as fluid volume is depleted. Therefore, an effective way to speed up gastric emptying is by maintaining high fluid volumes in the stomach.

This may sound like a lot of psychosomatic mumbo jumbo but lots of studies have proven its relevancy. What we think and how we feel affects how our bodies change and develop. By relaxing and telling your body that you really want to achieve this goal, you'll be more likely to reach it once and for all. Most people are looking for that magic pill. That term 'magic pill', I hate to use it because it's used so often. But it perfectly describes what people are looking for in their quests to lose weight.

After exercise, drink water to quench your thirst, and then drink even more. If you weigh yourself before and after your workout, drink 16 ounces of water for every pound of weight you lose after exercise. By following the principle of keeping hydrated you will be well on your way to six pack abs
