Most of the
'Fat Burners' on the market are nothing more than
glorified Caffeine, which basically means they are
pharmaceutically manufactured caffeine in high doses,
mixed with some other odd herbs which most likely do
nothing and probably damage your health in the long run.
Keeping in line with Women Fitness Weightloss Focus
month, this week we focus on Fat Burners: Temporary
fixes to weight loss.

Practice lower chest breathing to make the most of your lung capacity. It
provides the principle for efficient management of everyday activities such as
walking, climbing stairs, shopping, or gardening etc.
While sitting in a comfortable position with your back well supported. Place
your hand on your abdomen and give a little cough. The muscle you feel under
your hand is your diaphragm. The next time you breathe in, push your hand out
with you diaphragm and abdominal muscles. This will give you a feeling of
breathing around the waist.
Try breathing in through your nose and out gently through your mouth, making
your breath out twice as long as your breath in. Counting 1 as you breathe in,
and then 2 and 3 as you breathe out, will help you.
At the same time relax your shoulders and upper chest. Continue to breathe in
through the nose and gently out through the mouth or nose as you find most
comfortable.

It really doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from, or what
disappointments you've experienced in the past.?

Fat Burners: Temporary fixes to weight loss.
When you check into a supplement store or open a health
magazine you will notice that you are bombarded with
various fat burning "magical" pills which will promise a
leaner you in 7 days or get you amazing abs in 4 weeks.
Most of the 'Fat Burners' on the market are nothing more
than glorified Caffeine, which basically means they are
pharmaceutically manufactured caffeine in high doses,
mixed with some other odd herbs which most likely do
nothing and probably damage your health in the long run.
Add to this they are basically a big rip-off as they
cost nothing to make and they cost extortionate prices.
Key ingredients in 'fat burning' products and
this is what they do.
Diet pills that contain herbal ingredients like
HCA, Pyruvate, Ephedra and Chitosan are commonly known
as fat burners. All of these herbal ingredients play a
role in increasing your energy level, suppressing your
appetite and stimulating your metabolism.
Synephrine
You'll hear about this a lot as it's chemically
similar to ephedrine. Unfortunately there’s no
significant data to say that it increases fat loss,
although we do know it ups your blood pressure and can
increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
Green tea
There's been tons of research into the fat loss
properties of this, but to date there's been no
significant difference between the Green Tea group and
the placebo group. If you're drinking the stuff because
you like it then go right ahead as there are other
potential health benefits. If you're only necking it to
lose the belly, save your money.
