As simple as the ‘beer lifting’ plan is to
follow, the results do not offer the best health benefits. Generally,
the adverse effects of the diet include an inflated waistline
where the belly protrudes over pants. Since, many beers are
high in carbohydrates, it allows the body to collect fat around
the middle section.
For people focused on stretching their abdomens
into great proportions, the ‘beer lifting’ plan will achieve
outstanding results. Alternatively, for the self-conscious there
are a few ways to break the beer belly phenomena.
Use the following strategies to counter the
beer belly bulge:
• Pull the belly inwards. To flatten the abdomen
while improving one’s posture, pull in the naval toward the
direction of the spine. Perform the exercise several times a
day. Belly dancers use the same movement for controlling abdominal
muscles.
• Crunch the stomach. Before you start the
‘beer lift’ plan, do 50 - 100 crunches. Add 20 crunches a week
until you are able to perform 200 crunches – at a time.
• Replace beer lift plans with 20 - 40 minutes
of cardiovascular exercise. At least five days of cardiovascular
training should be incorporated with two to three days of strength/weight
training. Strength training is an important aspect of the cardio-work
out because it allows the body to increase the number of calories
burned.
• Reduce food portions. Consume food slowly
to avoid the habit of overeating. Adequate food intake should
never entail a feeling being full.
• Limit ‘beer lifting’. In order to trim the
waistline, ‘beer lifting’ should be minimized
