MUFFIN TOP MADNESS

Okay, so we all know that there is nothing attractive or for that case comfortable about the infamous Muffin Top. We try our best to pretend it is not there and sometimes hope that people will see it and decide to ignore it. It is almost like the elephant in the room that no one wants to admit is there. Well, it is time that we stop covering it up and do something about it. Muffin Tops are nothing but excess fat that hangs out around the abdominal area in a 360 motion and it is seriously unwanted. Here are a few things that you can do to tackle the problem with almost minimal effort. 

CAN U SAY CARDIO?!

Most of the time when women workout , if they do work out, they focus on everything except the sides of the abdomen. The fastest way to attack the Muffin is by participating in cardio activities such as: jogging, power walking, cycling, aerobics, swimming or anything that gets your heart to pumping, excluding sex. The key to getting the Muffin Top down is to have conditioned muscles all the way around the mid section.

CUT OUT THE CRAP

Please step away the sugar. Your diet should be rich in vegetables, nuts, whole grain and plenty of water. Water will help flush out toxins that are found in processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, dairy, acidic foods, sugar and smoking. 

KEEP YOUR STRESS LEVEL DOWN

There are many benefits to keeping your stress down. Being stressed out causes us to eat improperly and make the refrigerator our best friend. I personally am a sucker for Lay's potato chips and I can not just eat one. Finding ways to destress will improve the blood and oxygen supply to cells, which will improve rejuvenation and help expel toxins. Less toxins = less Muffin Top!

SCRUBBING

While in the shower be sure to spend a little more time scrubbing the muffin top with exfoliant. This will stimulate cells and improve circulation, getting nutrients in and toxins out. This method is also good on areas of the body that have started or have cellulite issues. Increasing the circulation allows the nutrients in, which will decrease the appearance of cellulite. Just be sure that you scrub for at least 5 minutes to ensure that the circulation has been adequately stimulated.

Following these simple steps will have you well on your way to kicking that Muffin Top to the curb and embracing a sexier, slimmer, more fit you.
