How to Look Like You Are 20 Again

HOW TO GET THAT 6 PACK STOMACH AND LEAN 20 YEAR OLD BODY WITHOUT HOURS OF BORING WORK OUTS!

There are literally thousands of products and idea out there about how to get a lean and trim waistline. Now first of all, why do we seem so obsessed with having a lean mid-section?

There are a number of good reasons and bad reasons for wanting and having a healthy and lean mid-section.

Lets look at some bad reasons. One reason is that when you have a lean tummy, you must have a low body fat content or a high Body Mass Index or BMI. That usually means that you have to have less than 15% body fat and for most of us that really means less than 10% body fat. Body fat content that low will allow the muscles to pop. But having such a low body fat percentage means you have to eat and you may even need to eat a lot more than you eat now.

Plus a low body fat percentage means that if you are lost in the woods you will have less fat for your body to use so you will need to eat more and more often.

Now for some reasons to HAVE that lean midsection. Well, just like I mention above, you will have a low body fact content which is good for the body. Sure you will need to eat more and more often, but just think, if you love to eat you will get to eat more but not get fat...that is if you eat the right foods.

Having a lean body also means you have a higher metabolism rate which is the rate at which your body burn calories. Now when you have a high motabolism, your body burns more calories and it burns those calories more efficiently. This means you will also have more energy. In fact, if you shed just 10 pounds of body fat, you will be amazed at how much energy you gain. You will find that even without excersise your energy level will shoot through the roof. Your mind will become even focused and you will find you can finish task faster and better.

Believe it or not, even sex is better with a lean tummy. That's right. SEX is a lot better when you are lean and trim. You will have more energy to perform longer. Of course it is partly due to the fact that you just look better.

Test and studies have shown that physical attraction is a huge part of the sexual experience. And women and men have both shown to prefer a tight, strong and lean midsection over other areas of the body. Yes, that mid-section is a big babe and dude magnet. Not to mention, just feeling a good set of abs is a turn on.

Test have also shown that men and women both like to run their hands over a firm and tight stomach. Touch enhances sexual pleasure. So you see a lean mid-section is like an aphordesiac.

Another great reason is posture. A tight and lean stomach will help to support your back and keep your spine in proper alignment. This can minimize, even eliminate lower back pain that so many of us experience especially as we get older. You will stand straighter giving you a look of greater confidence.

And after you have had your day full of task, eating, sex and having people stare admiringly at you, it will be time to dim the lights. Yes, a trim and lean tummy will also help you get a better nights sleep. You will experience a fuller, deeper sleep and you will awaken fully refreshed and ready to tackle your day.

So how does one get a lean mid-section? You probably are thinking that tons and tons of crunches or sit-ups will do the trick. Not so fast. Yes crunches and sit-ups will tone and strengthen your muscles but you wont see them if you keep that layer of fat on top of them.

You need to burn that fat away. You do that by doing simple cardio. Simple cardio could be as easy as increasing the amount you walk. If you increase the number of steps you take daily by 10,000 you can drop a pound of body fat per week with out changing your current diet. Yup, simply walk more every day. Walking also tones the legs and even the feet. So go to the mall, but not to buy anything but to stroll up and and the halls a couple of time. Park farther away from the entrance. Walk to the corner store instead of taking your car.

Also, you could give up fast food one day a week. If you eat out twice a week at a burger joint, cut one of those days out. You could lose up to 2 pounds in a month by doing that.

Get a full 8 hours of sleep every night. Your body needs to repair itself on a daily basis and sleep is the time your body does that at its peak. It also is the time when the body resets the many clocks in your body suck as your fat clock your biological clock, etc. If you disrupt those clocks then your body responds by packing on the pounds or by retaining the pounds. Believe it or not you could actually lose weight by getting a proper nights sleep every night.

Drinking plenty of water. Drop the high calorie drinks and such. Drink 8 glasses of 8 oz of pure water per day. I know that seems hard but it really doesn't have to be. Drinking water helps you feel full for a longer period of time so you don't have the urge to snack. Plus drinking water flushes the body of impurities and fat. Yes, water helps the body rid itself of excess fat. You can up the water intake by cutting back on the soda, juices and coffee that you drink daily. Although a cup or two of coffee per day can actually help you lose weight but make sure you drink the water to help that coffee do its job better.

And finally, watching less TV will help you lose weight. Yes, studies have shown that when you engage the mind it actually uses and burns more calories than just sitting in front of the boob tube vegging out. Plus excersing the mind has its own merits and benefits. Also, when you do things that activate the mind, you eat less. People who watch 8 hours of TV per day can consume 25 percent calories than those who watch only 2 hours per day. People who play board games or do crossword puzzles consume fewer calories than those who read romance novels.

In short, just simple little changes can help you lose the body fat and in the end what you will have to show for it is, lean and strong abs, ready to show off at a moments notice. Espceially when that "hottie" is looking at you from across the room or as they pass you buy on the beach.

One last benefit. A healthy mid-section usually means a healthy heart which means fewer doctor visits and lower health care bills. So you can even save money. What more could you ask for?
