There are three major muscles in the butt. These are the gluteus maximus, the gluteus minimus, and the gluteus medius. While it is not possible to spot-reduce fat loss in one particular area, cutting down on overall body fat while toning the butt muscles can lead to leaner, better-defined buttocks. In this article, we detail exercises that help people lose fat throughout the body while adding shape to the butt and thigh muscles. We also list other methods that can help people achieve their desired body shape. ExercisesTry the following exercises to lose fat from the butt and to tone the muscles in the thighs and glutes: 1. Running![]() Running is an excellent exercise for full-body weight loss. Running tones the leg and butt muscles, which gives the thighs and buttocks a more defined shape. This aerobic activity also improves heart and lung function, and it strengthens the lower body. Also, aside from supportive shoes, it requires no special equipment. Running is better than walking for fat loss, as it burns more calories. A 2012 study found that, over 1,600 meters, people of average fitness burned 372.54 calories while walking and 471.03 calories while running. However, the study authors conclude that even if a person is unable to take up running, walking is also a very good option for burning calories and fat compared with resting. 2. High-intensity interval training![]() Busy people who want to lose butt fat can take up high-intensity interval training (HIIT). According to a worldwide survey of fitness trends for 2018, HIIT is the most popular fitness trend globally. HIIT involves putting maximum effort into one specific activity for a short period. This is followed by a longer period at a slower pace. HIIT sessions are intense workouts, so they tend to be shorter in duration than moderate-intensity activities. For example, after a warmup period, HIIT may involve the following:
Research from 2011 suggests that HIIT may be more effective at reducing body fat than other types of exercise. Another study reports that HIIT is a good strategy for controlling obesity because of its time-efficiency. 3. Step-climbing![]() Climbing steps is an easy way to tone the glutes while also keeping the heart and lungs healthy. Step-climbing boosts strength and muscle tone in the butt and upper legs. There are various ways to work these muscles:
Step-climbing can provide other health benefits, too. One small study from 2005 on 15 women found that climbing flights of stairs up to five times per day had a measurable impact on oxygen uptake and reduced low-density lipoprotein, or "bad," cholesterol. In this study, the women began by climbing a flight of 199 stairs once each day in week 1, then gradually increasing climbs to five times each day by week 7. They made no other dietary or lifestyle changes while taking part in this study. 4. Squats![]() Squats are a major part of many exercise plans. This is likely due to their ability to work several muscles in the butt, legs, and abdomen at the same time. One 2009 study, which appeared in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, examined the effects of various exercises on the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. The scientists found that single-leg squats were a good option for activating both the gluteus maximus and the gluteus medius. To perform a single-leg squat:
If it is not possible to perform one-leg squats, regular squats are also effective. To do these:
Another variation is the split-squat, during which a person performs squats with their legs apart. A small-scale 2017 study found that split-squats had the highest impact on the gluteus maximus, compared with deadlifts and good-mornings. 5. Lunges![]() Lunges are another lower-body strength exercise that activates and tones the gluteus maximus. Variations include sideways, forward, and transverse lunges. The basic forward lunge also works the thighs and calves. To perform a lunge:
6. One-leg deadlift![]() Deadlifts work the lower body, improve balance, and strengthen the abdominal muscles and lower back. Doing one-leg deadlifts also activates the gluteus muscles. Follow these instructions to do a one-leg deadlift:
If this is too intense, lightly rest the non-supporting leg on the floor. To increase the exercise intensity, use hand-held weights. 7. Side-lying hip abduction![]() Side-lying hip abduction exercises are effective for strengthening the gluteus medius muscle. To do this exercise:
Use ankle weights to increase the intensity of this exercise. 8. Lateral band walkStrengthen and stabilize the hips and knees with a lateral band walk, which also works the gluteus medius muscle. This exercise is a useful warmup activity before running, jumping, and other activities. To do the lateral band walk:
To make this exercise more difficult, choose a band with a higher level of resistance. [embedded content] Other methods for weight lossFor the best results, combine the activities listed above with these other tips for weight loss: 9. Work out regularlyConsistency is key to seeing results. Maintain an exercise routine that combines aerobic exercises and strength training for the best whole-body benefits. The Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee suggest that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, weekly. They also recommend muscle-strengthening activities at least twice weekly. 10. Eat a balanced diet and practice portion controlTo lose weight, a person must take in fewer calories than the body burns. This is called a calorie deficit. To lose 1 pound, a person needs a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories. Practicing portion control is a quick way to do this. Research stresses the importance of managing portion sizes to reduce calorie intake and prevent weight gain. Simple strategies for staying satisfied on a healthful diet include:
11. Reduce stressStress causes the body to release a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol affects metabolism and stimulates cravings for sugar and other refined carbohydrates. This causes fat to build up in the body. People who experience high levels of stress are more prone to feeling tired, so it can be tempting to order fast food instead of cooking a healthful meal at home. It might also mean that they exercise less. These habits can quickly lead to weight gain. The following tips can help a person reduce stress levels:
12. Get enough sleepLack of sleep may negatively affect metabolism and hormone levels in the body. Being tired can also lead to cravings for junk food and fast food. Together, these effects increase the risk of weight gain and make it more difficult for a person to lose weight. Break the cycle of poor sleep by establishing a regular nightly routine. Aim to go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning. It is essential to get 7–9 hours of sleep each night. Some people nod off more easily after taking a warm bath, drinking a cup of chamomile tea, or simply reading a book. SummaryWith regular exercise that includes aerobic activity and targeted toning exercises, losing butt fat is an achievable goal. For the best results, a person can use specific exercises, physical activity, and diet and lifestyle changes. If these methods do not work, even with exercise and a healthful diet, a person may want to consider seeing their doctor. There may be an underlying reason for this, such as a thyroid disorder. It may also be helpful to work with a dietician, personal trainer, or both. http://bit.ly/2rOlzI8

Weight Loss Without Dieting And Exercise; Know How to Boost Fat-Burning - Odisha Television Ltd.12/21/2018 ![]() London: Mindfulness training could be the key to support weight loss in individuals with obesity, thereby facilitating healthier eating behaviours, as per a new study. Mindfulness is a mind-body practice where individuals learn to achieve heightened awareness of their current state of mind and immediate environment in the present moment. The study showed that individuals who participated in mindfulness training as part of an intensive weight management programme lost three kilograms of weight in six months than others who participated in obesity management programme. “This research is significant as we have shown that problematic eating behaviour can be improved with mindfulness application,” said Petra Hansona, lead researcher and postdoctoral student from the University of Warwickshire in the UK. “Mindfulness has huge potential as a strategy for achieving and maintaining good health and wellbeing,” said Thomas M. Barber, Associate Professor at the varsity. Focus should be on enabling the populace to make appropriate lifestyle decisions and empowering subsequent salutary behaviour change, said Barber. For the study, the team examined weight loss among a small group of people who were attending the multidisciplinary tier 3 weight management programme. Findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, showed that individuals who attended only one or two courses lost, on average, 0.9 kilograms (2 pounds) during the same period. Conversely, those who did not complete the course tended to weigh more than those who finished the group mindfulness course. “Individuals who completed the course said they were better able to plan meals in advance and felt more confident in self-management of weight loss moving forward,” said Hanson. Obesity worldwide has nearly tripled since 1975, according to the World Health Organisation. As of 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults worldwide met the criteria for overweight or obesity. http://bit.ly/2V2DQig Scott Douglas, The Washington Post PublishedI

Which diet is best for you? >>> Fat-burning zone is a myth in weight loss, but calories do matter 1 / 33 Back to Gallery f you're the kind of exerciser who constantly checks your heart rate to ensure you're in the fat-burning zone, you should stop. You'll probably never meet your weight-loss goals that way. That's because there's no special fat-burning zone that's key to getting lean. Here's what you need to know about the myth and about the true relationship between exercise and weight loss. Yes, we know. If you look at the wall charts or cardio equipment in a gym, or listen to many personal trainers, you'll be indoctrinated about the "fat-burning zone." The standard advice for getting in this zone is to workout at about 60 percent of your maximum heart rate. That level of exertion is relatively low intensity; most people can talk in complete sentences while exercising at it. Working in this zone, it's said, will burn more fat and result in greater long-term weight loss, compared with doing the same exercise at higher intensities. There's substance to part of this claim. Your body primarily fuels itself by burning a mix of stored fat and carbohydrates. The less active you are at a given moment, the greater the percentage of that fuel mix comes from fat. As your intensity of activity increases, the percentage of carbohydrates in that fuel mix also increases. At rest, fat constitutes as much as 85 percent of calories burned. That figure shifts to about 70 percent at an easy walking pace. If you transition to a moderate-effort run, the mix becomes about 50 percent fat and 50 percent carbohydrates, and it moves increasingly toward carbohydrates the faster you go. So it's true that at some workout intensities, you're burning a higher percentage of fat than at other intensities. But that doesn't mean this biological process is the key to losing weight from exercise. Experts explain that those who believe in a lard-melting zone simply aren't seeing the forest - i.e., what it really takes to lose weight - for the fat-burning trees. They're forgetting about calories. First, although it might sound better for weight loss to burn a higher percentage of fat, the real-world effect of that intensity on your body composition is next to nil. "The idea that all of a sudden when you hit this zone the fat is just being sucked out of your system is simplistic," says Christopher Breen, an exercise physiologist and online coach in Long Island. "That completely ignores that losing or maintaining weight is basically a matter of calories in versus calories out." If the key determinant of weight loss were the percentage of fat you're burning, then your best bet would be to remain still, because that's when you're burning the highest percentage of fat relative to carbohydrates. But, as Breen says, total calories burned is what matters, and that fact leads to the second big problem with the fat-burning zone. "If you're exercising at this lower intensity, you're burning fewer calories per minute," says Christine Brooks, a University of Florida adjunct instructor and the coaching science coordinator for USA Track & Field. "The average person walking for an hour is going to burn only a couple hundred calories." In that time, you could burn more than twice as many calories running, cycling or using an elliptical machine at a moderate intensity. Let's be real: When you schedule a workout, you probably think in terms of time, not number of calories burned. So, in the likely scenario that you have 30 or 45 minutes for exercise before or after work, you're just not going to burn that many calories if you spend that time in the would-be fat-burning zone. "I'm all for people being more active, but most aren't going to regularly put in the time at a lower intensity to create a calorie deficit," Brooks says. Also, if you want to get all geeky, the math argues against the fat-burning zone. Walk two miles in an hour, and you'll burn about 200 calories, with roughly 140 of them fueled by fat. Cycle moderately for that time, and you'll burn about 500 calories, with roughly 250 of them fueled by fat - so you'll burn more calories and more fat. "When I worked with people in a gym, I would tell them, 'Ultimately, it's a matter of calories; the fat burn will take care of itself,' " Breen says. Another chit for more vigorous workouts: You get an after-burn effect. "You maintain a higher metabolic rate after higherintensity exercise," Brooks says. "The reason is that more damage is being done to various systems, so you have an increased heart rate while the body is making its necessary repairs." "I have a real beef with the way this fat-burning idea is promoted," Brooks says. "It's a very strange way to talk about exercise." She and Breen agree that the myth persists because it's an easy concept to grasp. "It's a way of making exercise machines more appealing - if I'm working at this speed, I'll burn more fat than at another speed," Breen says. None of this is to suggest low-intensity exercise is a waste of time. Even the top athletes in the world regularly and purposefully workout at a light effort. A gentle jog or easy spin is a great way to clear your head, get reenergized, improve your health, spend time with friends and family, and, yes, burn some calories. "Mix it up," Breen says about structuring your workouts. "Have some harder, high-intensity days, followed by easier, low-intensity recovery days." Also aim for different durations. When you have the time, do longer workouts at a comfortable level of effort. When you're pressed for time, work a little harder. The table in our guide to heart-rate training will help you construct a well-rounded exercise program. Variety in your workouts will keep you fresher physically and mentally than if you do the same thing day after day after day. That freshness will make it more likely that you exercise consistently. And that's the zone that will result in long-term weight loss. - - - Douglas is a contributing writer for Runner's World and the author of several books, including "Running Is My Therapy." https://ift.tt/2RggS8B
Highlights
When you are trying to lose weight, you need to maintain a fine balance between creating an energy deficit and at the same time remaining energetic to go through the day. As we embark on the fat loss journey, it is important to keep in mind that the weight you are trying to lose was not put on overnight, and hence it may not be shed overnight either. The two most important aspects to weight loss, before we even touch the topic of weight-loss foods, are patience and perseverance. The rate at which an individual loses weight is dependent on many factors such as past efforts at weight loss, history of following fad diets, age, hormonal imbalance, presence or absence of metabolic conditions, kind and amount of foods consumed and so on. The 3 most important food groups to include when we are looking to shed some inches are protein, fibre and good fats. The top 5 foods in my opinion to shed inches are:
Eggs have been made out to be villains that lead to elevated cholesterol levels. However, eggs have the best quality of proteins that can be absorbed by the body. Apart from their protein content, eggs are power houses of vitamins found in the yolk. So if you are throwing away the yolk, you are not getting its complete benefit. Eggs also help to boost metabolism. Eggs can be consumed daily as a breakfast option. Research has shown that eating eggs for breakfast can help fight weight-gain all day long. In a study, published by the International Journal of Obesity, researchers found that dieters who consumed two eggs for breakfast five days out of the week lost 65 percent more weight than dieters who consumed a bagel in the morning.

Vegetables/Salads And Fruits The main reason we put on weight is because we eat more than we burn. Vegetables, however, are magical, they make you feel full so they are very high on the satiety marker and at the same time don't make you pile on the inches. The fibre and the water in vegetables and fruits will not make you put on the inches if you ate just as much. However, the method of cooking is equally important. Over cooked veggies swimming in oil will not do you any good. Veggies that are roasted/steamed/grilled or sauteed with flavourful ingredients or even and par cooked give you the best benefits as against those that are overcooked and heavily spiced.

Nuts Nuts are a powerhouse of energy, protein and good quality fats. Nuts contain mostly unsaturated fat. This type of fat is associated with protection against many different diseases, including heart disease. However, with nuts it is important to exert caution in terms of portion size as they are concentrated sources of energy. Going over board can make you put on weight. Several observational studies have found that regularly eating nuts is not associated with weight gain and may even prevent it. One study looked at the diets of 8,865 men and women over 28 months. It found that those who ate two or more portions of nuts a week had a 31% lower risk of weight gain, compared to those who never or rarely ate them.

Water Water is most crucial to enable a smooth weight loss journey. A dehydrated muscle cannot burn fat. Consumption of adequate water prevents you from over eating and slumps appetite. Water is most important for all bodily processes. Lack of water in your system can slump metabolism, thereby slowing down the fat loss process. Water is also most important for the process of detox.

Legumes and beans are good sources of fiber and protein. These help to keep up metabolism. They are known to increase satiety and curb the cravings of processed foods. Pulses help to amp up the fat burning process, allowing for more effective fat loss.

While the 5 foods mentioned above can help you get along your weight loss journey, it is equally important to note that for sustained fat loss a conscious blend of exercise and balanced diet is a pre-requisite. Fad diets can lead to vitamins and mineral deficiency. Always consult a qualified nutritionist who can help you achieve fat loss through a diet that keeps you well nourished yet allows a deficit.

Our ancient ancestors were able to switch from burning glucose to burning fat for their body’s energy with ease. They ate limited sugar and carbohydrates, and greater amounts of healthy fat. Plus, they intermittently fasted, had limited toxic exposures, and as a result, burned fats as their primary fuel. Unlike them, most of us in the West have become accustomed to eating a high-sugar, high-carb diet, and as a result, lost our ability to switch effortlessly from burning glucose to burning fat for fuel. So, if you are like the majority of adults, your health, especially your metabolic health has suffered as a result. I am convinced that the Key to optimal health and well-being depends upon the health of our cells’ mitochondria, so make the transition to burning fat for fuel. Because, when we burn fat for fuel on a regular basis instead of glucose like you are likely doing now, many positive changes can potentially start to happen in the body, they include the following;
What is at the core of much poor health in the West is the excessive intake of net carbohydrates that contain no fiber. So, always eat Real Organic Foods. To take control of this health-compromising situation, the experts recommend that while shifting over to fat burning, you take an especially close look at net carbs… Because fiber and many sugar alcohols do not affect your blood glucose the same way as sugars, their values are not typically used when calculating net carbs. They are subtracted in the calculation of net carbs. Bottom line, a food with little or no fiber contains more digestible carbohydrates that you want to avoid when shifting over to fat burning so… Remember to always Eat healthy, Be healthy and Live lively!

There are actually two types of fat cells and scientists have discovered a sub-type from one of them that might actually burn glucose. In an article published in Nature.com December 19 titled ‘Fat cells with a sweet tooth’, the work of some scientists at the University of California explains what they found. We generally think that fat stores energy in our body. It does this in the form of lipids. The scientists found that this is actually done by white fat cells but they looked at a second type of brown cells that actually burns energy. These sub-type of brown cells burn energy to produce heat to let us keep our bodies warm. Imagine the Eskimos living in Alaska. The scientists suggest that if we could activate this “thermogenic” fat we could tackle obesity. The scientists wrote that the thermogenic fat cell was discovered to burn mainly sugar rather than the sugar-lipids combination. Related: Could this 1cm implant be the future of weight loss? These thermogenic fat cells are brown or beige and you will find them mixed with your white fat cells. Extreme cold weather triggers the production of beige fat cells in white-fat tissue depots. They note that while a lot of effort has been made into developing drugs targeting thermogenic fat for weight loss, it is difficult because people don’t have the same levels of the beige fat cells. Your number of brown fat cells also go down with age. The scientists saw the growth of brown fat cells in mice when they were given a certain drug to block certain receptors and exposed to extreme cold. The scientists found that this subset of beige fat differs from that of conventional beige fat. The subset expresses higher levels of many genes involved in sugar and carbohydrate metabolism and glycolysis — the process by which energy is produced from glucose. These types of cells may do different things while managing metabolism. https://ift.tt/2BuDsjG [unable to retrieve full-text content] 5 Trainers Share Their Favorite Fat-burning Workouts to Lose Weight Men's JournalThese total-body workouts will kick your metabolism into high gear, burning fat and building muscle in the process. Each comes from a top trainer. https://ift.tt/2UPFKTj Tyson Fury weight loss: Boxer wows with slim frame at Sports Personality of the Year 2018 - Express12/17/2018 ![]() Tyson Fury has lost an incredible 10 stone in recent times. The British sports star, 30, appeared with his wife Paris on the red carpet last night. Looking dapper in a black suit, Tyson smiled for the camera’s at the event in Birmingham. Looking healthy and slim, he wrapped his arm around his wife, who wore a gold gown. The boxer slimmed down recently for his fight with Deontay Wilder in Los Angeles. The fight, which took place on December 1, was declared a split decision draw. Tyson’s weight loss was down, in part, to the Keto diet. This popular diet is high in fat and protein and lower in carbohydrates. His coach Kristian Blacklock devised the programme, and revealed: “Tyson’s not a massive veg lover, but we do find there are things he will have. "There’s a peanut butter chicken recipe we’ve had on this camp which has been his favourite, cooked by his chef Tim Alcock. “If you’re enjoying your food, dieting it a hell of a lot easier.” What is the keto diet? Keto’ allows the body to switch from burning carbs and sugar for energy to fat, putting the body into a state of “ketosis”, effectively a “fat burning machine” – as described by a diet expert at Diet Doctor. They explain: “Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar). “The liver produces ketones from fat. These ketones then serve as a fuel source throughout the body, especially for the brain.” Tyson has also been vocal about his battle with depression in the past. Last night he gave a message about mental health. He said: “The mental health story we need to spread he world of mental health more. “Because a lot of people are still living in darkness.” Speaking of talking about mental health, he said: “If I can do it and get help anyone can do it.” https://ift.tt/2EtEa3E |
