Lose your chest weight !!!
March 9, 2010 6:54 pm obesityAerobic exercises like rowing, swimming or brisk walking help burn fat directly. The problem is we cannot make the body burn it from the chest or breast areas. Fat is used up from all over the body so we may need to burn lots of calories before we see fat reduce in the chest area. This is the reason why an aerobic exercise workout should be performed regularly and for a long duration, for example at least 20 minutes 3 times per week. This gives chance for fat to be burned from all over the body including the chest region. The best exercise to tone and firm the chest are probably push ups because they can easily be done at home and don’t require special equipment. Push ups place high levels of stress directly on the chest area working the muscles intensely. Chest exercises like push ups are anaerobic exercise thus they burn predominantly carbs. For this reason, push ups will not help burn fat from the chest, but they may help add a small amount of lean weight to the muscles which helps burn more calories.
