Excess Fat
Many people want to shed a few pounds and excess
fat, whether the primary motivation is for health reasons, cosmetics
reasons, or both. While women tend to accumulate excess fat in
their hips, buttocks, and thighs, men tend to accumulate excess
fat around the waist (love
handles) or as abdominal fat. Although the reasons for this
difference are not entirely known, there is evidence that excess
abdominal fat has
more than cosmetic disadvantages. The excess fat which accumulates
on the hips, thighs, and buttocks is not generally dangerous to
one’s health. Excess abdominal
fat, on the other hand, has been implicated in heart disease,
diabetes, and other problems.
Excess fat is caused by fat cells (or adipocytes)
which grow large through feeding. When more calories are consumed
than burned, some of the excess carbohydrates are stored as glucose
in the muscles. The rest is stored as excess fat in the adipocytes.
During exercise, the adipocytes release fat into the blood stream,
where it circulates around to the muscles which use the fat for
fuel. Aerobic exercise stimulates the adipocytes to release great
amounts of fat. That fat will be burned by the muscles during exercise.
Excess unburned fat returns to the adipose cells for storage.
The key to losing excess fat in the hips, thighs,
buttocks, love handles, or anywhere else is to stimulate the adipocytes
through exercise to release fat into the blood stream. Spot reduction
of areas of excess fat is not possible. Burned fat comes from all
over the body. Lunges will not stimulate the leg muscles to lose
excess fat first, and abdominal and oblique exercises will not stimulate
fat loss in the love handles.
