As a personal trainer I routinely field questions about flat stomachs and six pack abs. Men and women want the secret formula to a rock solid mid-section. There are 5 tips that can help anyone increase their chances of a slimmer, fat-free waistline.

1) Eat plenty of fibrous foods. This helps aid digestion and elimination. All too often the protruding lower abdominals are caused by enlarged intestines. Aiding the body’s digestion and elimination processes will help give a flatter appearance to the lower stomach area.

2) Create a strength training routine that addresses all of the major muscle groups. A nice trick I learned along the way is to increase the musce in your shoulders. This gives the appearance of a smaller waist. Working your whole body is more advantageous for many reasons. A few reasons are:

Working your entire body creates balance. Working simply the abs will end in an imbalance and may result in over-use, underneath-use or harm of sure muscles. Click here for more information on bootcamp san diego.

Working the whole physique will add more lean muscle. Girls need to add lean, toned muscle to their body. They shouldn’t be afraid of bulking up or looking like men. The more muscle we’ve got, the more energy we burn. Each pound of muscle burns 35-50 energy per day.

Just working the abs often leads to over training. With a full physique routine each muscle receives attention and proper rest.

3) Drink plenty of fluids. Water and unsweetened teas are best. Retaining the physique properly hydrated will assist in digestion and elimination.

4) Take part in a cardio exercise most days of the week. I recommend doing a mix of session lengths and depth levels. The entire workout time ought to typically be stored under an hour (including power training). A few days needs to be medium depth and medium length cardio sessions. A number of days should be reserved for lengthy sessions with low intensity. One day every for the next depth, shorter program and a rest day.

5) Incorporate the Plank Pose into your ab routine. The Plank Pose works the transverse abdominis muscle. This muscle is answerable for holding the stomach in and supporting posture. This is without doubt one of the finest ab exercises in my opinion. It actually works the muscle accountable for a flat stomach.

Mix these 5 tips for a flat abdomen and get ready for results. Genetics play a job within the over all look of your abdomen, but just about everybody can benefit from a reduction in physique fat. The best option to a good mid-part is to make a lifestyle change. Weight-reduction plan is a fast fix that normally leads to frustration and weight gain. Learn to achieve optimal health by making use of constructive habits.

Question by guitarman: How can your mental health get worse after you see a therapist?
I can’t figure this out. I go see this therapist and I don’t like her. But they won’t let me have another therapist unless I go before a long drawn out red tape process. But anyways, I call up to get another appointment and the soonest they can get me in is like a month from now. So I told the receptionist, “Somehow my mental health gets worse after I call or visit the mental health association.”

Question by Serenade: How is psychology the opposite of religion?
I’ve read some books lately and two or three of them have basically said that practicing psychology (especially some of the psychoanalytical methods) and some other social sciences are the opposite of religion. I always thought, at least in the case of psychology, that social sciences try to help and understand others. I also though religion tried to help and understand others, so how are they opposite?

Best answer:

Answer by ande e
Psychology is concerned with the truth. Religion is concerned with convincing you it’s the truth.

Question by Amelia: are forensic psychology programs more or less competitive than others?
I want to do forensic psychology, is it harder to get into than other kinds of psychology?

Best answer:

Answer by Gmac9
Yeah, not in terms of the difficulty level but the demand. Forensic psychologists often work in prisons and police stations (each police station would probably have either one or none and prisons very few) so there really aren’t very many though they are often portrayed in movies a lot. It would definitely be easier to find a job as a clinical or educational psychologist who works in clincs/schools/in some government organisation.

Question by ricksed: Career in psychology without being a psychiatrist?
I want to work in the field of psychology but don’t want to be a psychiatrist. Mainly I want to study psychology, in other words be a psychologist, do I have to go through medical school, internship, etc. (the doctor process) to be one? Is a psychologist a doctor?

Best answer:

Answer by TedEx
Many psychologists doing in clinical work have an MS degree or PhD or an DSW ((Doctorate on social work) Ifhe has a OPhd or DSW, he certainly ius a doctor, although he is not a medical doctor.

My son in law’s father spent a career in the Air Force as a psychologist. He has a master’s degree in science in Psychology.

Psychologists can do a lot of the counseling that mght be done by a psychiatrist. They , however, cannot presacribe drugs. That must be done by a doctor ( MD-type doctor,that is)

Question by teh_masta_of_all: Was she hitting on me or just chatting?
Ok so I was out at a local bar with a friend of mine last night, and a couples girls from my university program showed up. I have one or two classes with them but we are all in second year and theres alot of students in each year and neither me or my friend ever talked to either of the two girls before. So anyways I got up with my friend to go out have a smoke and as i passed the bar one of the girls looked at me and said oh hey hows it going, and I was so surprised since like I said we had never talked before not because there was never the chance just because we had no friends in common never worked in class together, etc… so I said you know, not bad how about you? As I passed by I shoulda probably stopped to talk but like I said I was pretty taken aback and just did a that good smile and kept walking after she said good. Anyways I kinda realised I goofed after I got outside, but about an hour later, I went out for another smoke with my friend and she was out having a smoke with two of her friends. When she saw me come out – I should note we kinda kept making eye contact throughout the night, nothing creepy just glances lol- but anyways ya she came over and started talking to me, just hey *my name* hows it going, do you remember my name =P sadly I didnt I hate when that happens but I just apologized and said its hard to remember three years worth of peoples names as Im taking cources in all three years of my program lol, I hate when that happens XP but im in nursing so its like theres 2 guys in the program and everyone knows your name but theres like 80 girls in each year so its impossible to remember all their names lmao. But she told me her name laughed it off, and we started talking about how her long weekends going, what shes been up to, etc… just chatting and then her friends left to go inside to get their stuff and head out so she said that was her ride and left and said shed see me in class. So Im not sure if she was flirting with me or just chatting because she knew me from school. I’m trying to decide how I should act when I see her in class, if i should smile and say hi, or go over and chat with her for a bit, mention how they left pretty early and I’ll be back with my friend next weekend if they’re around they should come join us. Opinions?

Best answer:

Answer by Satan Claws
She’s trying to decide if she should feel attracted to you or not, based on your lack of interest (you’re not like all the other guys who hit on her constantly).
