Cardiovascular training, as its name implies, is unfit to tone, because it stimulates the respiratory and circulatory system, but very little the neuromuscular system. Also, you can not do physical exercise without the presence of a trained professional, after a cerebral event.

This website provides useful information does not replace the actions of competent professionals to monitor physical activity you perform, after suffering a cerebral type condition.

The elliptical is a cardiovascular type training, as such, due to its characteristics, does not stimulate enough muscle therefore can not properly tone with this type of equipment. And if you did a program to tone with the elliptical, you should work with almost maximum resistance to movement, making high-intensity exercise, and this causes an increase in blood pressure, a risk factor for having a new aneurysm.

Therefore, the best you can do is train in the elliptical to improve your circulatory system and leave a little side work for toning specific force. The generalities are:

Exercising at a low heart rate, about 50 to 80% HRmax.
Starts three times a week, 12 minutes per session, and add 2 minutes a week to reach 20 minutes straight, with the lowest frequency (50% HRmax.)
The next few weeks added to a 1 minute to complete 30 minutes total time.
When you reach 30 minutes, you can increase the rate to 60% HRmax., But this time start with sessions of 15 minutes, adding 1 minute per week, up again at 30 minutes.
After 28 weeks of uninterrupted 30-60 minutes you can work within the scheduled frequency range, but never severe fatigue.

The type of obesity that you suffer is called Android, which gives the appearance of apple-shaped, with presence of fat in the abdomen, back and arms. What you should do is reduce the fat with diet and appropriate physical activity, for that reason, there are no effective exercises to slim arms and back in isolation.

There is no specific exercise to reduce localized fat tissue. The explanation is that efforts to eliminate fat in one area of ??the body, has no scientific or empirical validity. In other words, if you for example Chin-downs, which is an exercise to develop the back does not mean that the fat in that area disappears, the muscles will tone n, but the fat remains in the same place.

What you do is lose weight, establishing a balance or deficit calories and physical activity to consume large amounts of calories, such as aerobics or strength exercises to develop muscle mass in legs, buttocks, back and chest.

Thus, the fat is reduced, and the body will get the right proportions to genetically possess. When it comes to body shaping refers to tone or build muscle mass of the different parts that can be trained, but not selectively remove fat.

Exercises for an android body shape

Calculate the calories you need as your daily activities.
40-60 minutes of daily aerobic exercise at 60-80% HRmax.
Three times a week do an exercise routine muscle strength (3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions at 50-60% 1RM) include Squat, Lunge, Rowing, Push Up, Bench press, Chins, among other exercises , which are those that stimulate the large muscle groups, responsible for raising the metabolic rate and accelerate the degradation of fats.

The search of the perfect body and the elimination of those unwanted pounds and fat is much more complex than it seems. It all starts with the formation of fat cells (adipocytes) in the four major periods of intra-uterine life, infancy, adolescence and pre-teens.

The greater the number of adipocytes formed, the greater the tendency to store fat. In women, fat concentrated around the waist, headstamps, abdomen and inner thighs after puberty is a fatty deposit, called fat gyno, deeper, less hydrated and less peroxide, with light of energy reserves for pregnancy, labor and breastfeeding. It is the first that stores fat in food abuses out of the last during weight loss and physical activity.

For a real process of weight loss, weight loss should be slow and gradual – about 500 grams of fat per week. To this end, treatment should include nutrition education, physical activity and aesthetic medical procedures and that the direct and reduction of fat cells in areas of deposit, providing a replacement of fat by muscle.

Not long ago, the only process capable of reducing the number of fat cells in the storage areas for liposuction surgery was associated or not with Dermolipectomy (surgical removal of excess skin). Many people seeking such procedures as a magic formula to achieve the perfect body without the effort of physical activity and nutrition education and 80% of cases recover all fat over a period of two years. With the advancement of aesthetic medicine, the weight loss process has new non-surgical treatments as Eletrolipoforese with Manthus, Hydrolipoclasia, Carboxy, Carbolipoclasia, Lisadoterapia Intradermoterapia and the direction of the weight loss of localized pockets of fat, allowing a direct and healthy weight loss.

In aerobic physical activity immediately after these procedures, the body uses fat in treated areas such as muscles, resulting in a substitution of fat for muscle, increased basal metabolism and gradual and progressive loss of weight to achieve the perfect body.

Obesity in itself is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and many other health problems. For that reason and beyond aesthetic considerations, an overweight person is not the stereotype we associate with a healthy life. Otherwise, when we think of healthy life we imagine a man with athletic body off with a water bottle in his hand.

However, it can be a healthy fat person at a time. A Dutch study showed that nearly 7% of those surveyed were obese but had never had heart problems or signs of diabetes, even being “metabolically healthy.” Obviously, this is no guarantee that the future may present, but somehow we show that obesity is not always synonymous with poor health and can be controlled.

Many people are born with a tendency to obesity or gain weight easily because they inherited from their parents and that they can not change or control. However, the lifestyle that takes depends on ourselves. In other words, the possibility of being a healthy person is in our hands. Read the rest of this entry »
