Beer Belly Boys Build Big Biceps and Lose Belly Fat

I was walking along the high street a few weeks ago and noticed my reflection in a shop window, and was shocked at how large my gut had got. I had noticed that my belt was a bit tighter, in fact I may have even loosened it a notch or two, but I really failed to notice haw fat I had got. So, I thought, Stringvest, you need to do something about this, you fat bastard. So what did I do? I hit the gym. And how did I train? Did I run, skip, row, swim? No, I lifted weights.

You see, I have a theory. In men, beer bellies are really the norm, onlt freakishly thin guys have six packs. So my master plan was thus: to build up my biceps and shoulders, to make my gut look smaller. If people see my huge arms (and biceps seem to be almost as easy for me to grow as a belly) then their gaze will not fall so rapidly to my fat beer belly. So I dedicated the next few weeks to working my biceps, triceps and shoulders to build my upper body. I decided to do a little research, and came across an article on how to lose belly fat. Already I see good results, my arms are bigger, and my gut has even got a little smaller due to me following the rules in the said article. So things are moving in the right direction. Already I have managed to tighten the belt, and maybe in a few more months I will be back to my old slim self.... maybe!

Lose weight, get fit, stay in shape !

Welcome to my Health and Fitness blog. Like many of you, I am always battling to keep in shape. Whether it be the excesses of the holiday season, with too much turkey and booze, or just the continuous battle against the ever increase waist line, there always seems to be something to spoil my plans to attain that perfect body.

Hopefully here I can share some of my methods of losing weight, staying trim and in shape, getting fit, and staying healthy.

Personally I prefer to use a combination of circuit training and weight training to stay in shape. This provides me with a good balance of cardio exercises to improve cardio vascular circulation and health, and building muscle to help increase the rest metabolic rate, and therefore burn more calories which would otherwise be turned to fat.

Currently my main resource of health and fitness advice is at Tranquillizer - Health, Fitness and Relaxation. This site has pages dedicated to weight training, body building, circuit training, aerobics, tai chi, yoga, alternative health methods such as massage, aromatherapy, diet and nutrition advice, plus advice on dealing with stress, and many health and exercise related articles.

The internet is a great place to look for advice when starting a new healthy lifestyle, as you are not restricted to reading just the opinions of one particular author of a book or video. With the internet you can source many articles to help you lose weight, get fit and stay healthy, and most of the advice is free at that!
