Bits and Pieces: Let’s hit the basics!
This issue’s “Bits and Pieces” features
information to better understand the basics of burning fat.
Busting the Great Myth of Fat Burning
- Myth: The body completely
shuts off one fuel source when it turns on the other.
- The Truth: What has often been misunderstood by both exercisers and exercise
instructors alike is that the body relies on both fat and carbs for energy all
the time, albeit in different ratios. In fact, as you sit here reading, you may
be burning about 50-60 percent fat and 50-40 percent carbohydrates. You're not
using much of either, however, because the amount of calories you need probably
amounts to about one or two calories a minute. If you were to get up and start
jogging in place, your body would need to supply you with some quick energy to
do so, so the metabolism ratio might shift to drawing upon more carbohydrates,
say 70 percent, and less fat, say 30 percent. If you were to continue jogging,
then, in order to preserve the carbs (which can run out since you have limited
stores in the body), your body would gradually shift its metabolism ratio again
to say, 60 percent fat and 40 percent carbohydrates. From an energy efficiency
point of view, it pays to be fit. The endurance athlete would be able to make
the shift sooner, and his fat-burning percentage might be 65-75 percent.
However, in
practical terms this is purely technotalk, and these ratios don't make a big
difference when it comes to losing weight and decreasing your body fat. For the
most part, athletes are often leaner not because they might rely on slightly
more fat for fuel, but because they practice their sport two to three, or more,
hours a day — this burns a lot of calories. If you had the time, energy,
and fitness level to work out three hours a day, being overweight would
probably not be an issue. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than
your body consumes and uses everyday. Exercise is one main way to burn a lot of
calories. But when it comes to weight loss, what matters is how many calories
you burn, not so much whether they are fat or carbohydrate calories.
Larry’s Training
Tip: The Amazing Ring of Fire!
By this time if you aren’t aware of the amazing Ring Of Fire (ROF) for trimming your midsection…..getting rid of love handles…
improving your posture…… eliminating pot belly, increasing energy and even
cleansing toxins you haven’t been listening.
I have been training for over 45 years and I have
never found anything that can compare with the ROF and the exciting thing
is… there continues to be more to
learn. In fact, I just picked up
another secret today I want to share with you.
I’ll
assume you’re already familiar with the basic principles of the ROF so I can
jump right into this discovery.
The key to burning body fat even long after the
exercise is over is building muscle tissue. The harder and more toned the
muscle the more it will eat fat for energy.and the key to harder, toned muscle
is how hard you can flex the muscle. The muscle has 3 different types of strength: concentric, eccentric and
isometric with isometric being the strongest of the three.
Today while working my midsection using the ROF I
started playing around with the isometric strength and I uncovered a gold
nugget. My abs are still warm from the effect and that was two hours ago.
When using the ROF, your goal is to see how hard
you can flex each of the 9 muscles around the midsection so it will enable you
to first get rid of the “marbling” of fat in the muscle. The marbling has to be
eaten away before the muscle tissue goes looking for other energy sources
namely the subcutaneous fat (just under the skin)..
Here’s what I think happens when you are able to
flex the muscle so hard it begins to feel like a rock. I believe the squeezing
of the muscle fibers, bursts what ever fat cells are lodged in amongst the
muscle fibers making these fat cells available for energy. Sort of like
wringing the water out of a bathroom towel. The harder you squeeze the more
water you get.
For example the quadratus muscle right under the
love handles does this very thing when flexed. It first cleans out all the
marbeled fat thus gradually making the muscle harder even underneath the fat
laying on the surface. This is why when we first start to work our midsection
we might say. “It’s getting harder down under but I can’t seem to get rid of
this layer of fat on top.”
When you have reached this stage then it just takes patience and consistency. You
first must get rid of the fat in the muscle before you begin to remove the fat
on top.
I know all kind of experts will tell us this can’t
be done. They try to convince us we can’t spot reduce but that was before the
ROF. Let’s compare their midsection with mine. I’m 63 years old. I do nothing
but the ROF for my waist and my midsection is hard, muscular, actually one of
my best bodyparts. You might say. Yes, Larry but you have always been in shape
so you never really had a problem with fat around your waist. Not true. A few
years ago, my waist began to creep up to 34 then 35 inches. I hated it but not
enough to force myself to do all those sit-ups, leg raises and hours of
aerobics. I wanted to find something better.
I first noticed my lower abdominal area (pot belly)
was getting more and more pronounced even thought I was doing plenty of situps
and leg raises. They weren’t cutting it. It was extremely frustrating. Here I
was Mr. Olympia and beginning to show a pot gut. I had to find something that
would work better than what I was using. .
Then, one day I found an exercise for lower abs
that flattened my pot gut. It was something I had never done before. Yeah, I
could do sit-ups and leg raises but to just flex the lower abs all by
themselves was almost impossible. I had to learn how to flex those muscles. Once I learned and saw how it
quickly flattened by pot belly, it really got my attention. I began looking at
other areas of the midsection. Eventually, I found, there were 9 muscle groups around the midsection
and I couldn’t flex any of them. But if I could learn the lower abs I must be able to learn how to flex
the rest of them. As I made progress I noticed my entire midsection getting
muscular. Areas I had never been able to work on before, even love handles were
getting smaller. I was thrilled to see my waist looking better than when I was
competing in my 20’s. But that’s just the cosmetics. I stumbled on a whole
basket full of goodies.
Not only did this flexing of the midsection tone
and harden the muscles and reduce the fat. It also improved my posture, gave me
pelvic strength while doing squats so I wasn’t always injuring my lower back.
It also released energy. I felt better more alive after doing the Ring Of Fire
exercises. I couldn’t explain it. I didn’t need to . I just knew it was true.
It was exhilarating. Midsection
training was no longer a drag. It became the highlight of my entire workout and
still is.
Something is going on here I don’t have the
vocabulary to explain. Things like clearing toxins out of the kidneys and
liver. If I’m carrying on over the
Ring Of Fire it’s because it’s
amazing.
So
let’s get back to the secret I want to share with you this week. We’re trying
to flex these muscles as hard a possible right.? Try this. Let’s pick the
intercostales for our muscle for this example. First hold on to something about
shoulder height then lift the right hip and flex down on the right intercostle
with the upper body as hard as you can. Then hold it right there. Take a few
short breaths, then pull the hip
up higher and again hold it right there. Take a few more short breaths and pull
it up even higher. The muscle will flex harder and tighter each time you pull
it up and hold on to the flexed position with all that isometric power while
you catch your breath.
Repeat this 3 step contraction and hold for each of
the 9 muscle groups around your midsection. This is one series. Start over for
another series repeat for 3 series. You’re going to discover a whole new world
of health, power and beauty you have never experienced before.
