Weight loss-it’s true there is no easy way to lose weight. The tried and true formula is to decrease your food intake and increase your activity output through exercise. There is one way to help make this go a little easier and that’s through colon cleansing. Can it really help you take off the weight? Let’s take a look.

What is the colon?

The colon is also known as the large intestine. It’s responsible for filtering and getting rid of the waste from everything you take into your body through food, medicine, liquids and air.

So why does it need to be cleaned out?

Over the last thirty years, our diets have been increasingly filled with artificial ingredients and chemicals that the body was never designed to handle. This sits in your colon building up through the years and it becomes toxic to the body. It blocks all the good nutrients from getting into your body and you can actually wind up with a starvation reaction causing your metabolism to slow. A sluggish metabolism means a slow weight loss. There may even be parasitic-like worms that are living in your colon further hampering your digestive system.

How do I clean out my colon?

There are two ways you can get your colon cleaned. You can go to a provider that does a mechanical evacuation of your bowels. The second option is to use a combination of natural herbal supplements.

Is this safe?

As with any health procedure, consult with your health care professional first. This procedure tends to be preferred by those practicing alternative medicine. This is something that has been practiced through the ages and not wholly embraced by Western medicine. A certified nutritionist is well versed in this and there are reputable resources on the internet.

So that’s all I need to do?

Not exactly. Typically you will see a large chunk of weight come off as the bulk of the toxic sludge in your intestine is flushed out. The body then works more efficiently as it’s better able to absorb the nutrients you put in your body. You can keep your body working to get the weight off by avoiding food with artificial ingredients and whole foods grown without pesticides and other harmful chemicals as well as daily exercise. Your body will then become a lean, mean calorie burning machine.

So what do I do now?

As I said in my last article, Workouts To Promote Rapid Weight Loss, circuit training is a very effective method for weight loss. In fact, it will probably get you in the best shape of your life as it will also get and keep you fit and nicely toned.

As I also said in my previous article, it can be very hard work. There is no easy way or short cut to losing weight and toning up, so this really shouldn’t come as too much of a shock.

I will suggest a programme in a moment that will get you started in circuit training and give you a good solid base level of fitness to build on. After a while, you will probably wish to maybe change things round a bit, use different exercises etc. This is good and will help you stay motivated due to variety which is very important in an exercise programme.

The exercises we are going to use here are the squat, the calf raise, the squat thrust, the press up, the lateral shoulder raise, dumbbell curls, bent over dumbbell rowing, tricep dips and crunches. This may sound like a lot to begin with but don’t worry; we will be starting off gradually on the amount of each exercise done and build up slowly, so it can be done by anyone and not take too much time up.

Before any of the above exercises though, it is important to warm up your muscles. Stretch every muscle of your body gently but thoroughly, until you feel thoroughly warmed up and loose all round.

After the warm up, it is time to begin. First exercise is squat thrusts, this exercise will help you to be warm all over and get your blood pumping, perfect for the next exercise, squats. These are to be done without weights and controlled in speeed, taking 2 seconds up and 4 seconds down. Next is calf raises, done at the same speed as the squats.

Next up is press ups, these can initially be done against a window sill until you build enough strength up to do 10 full press ups on the floor, before moving straight on to bent over dumbbell rowing, making sure of a good stretch at the bottom of the movement.

After these its time for lateral shoulder raises, done again controlled and to the point of the dumbbells being parallel to to floor, then you go to do your dumbbell curls nice and controlled once more, then straight onto tricep dips, after these your whole body will be thoroughly worked out, this will have the effect of toning your whole body and burning fat.

Last but not least are the crunches, just do the same as the rest of the exercises, that is do as many as you can comfortably manage, and in subsequent workouts the idea is to try and do one more repetition of every exercise until you can do 25 of each.

When you reach this level, it is time to move onto the next level, which I will discuss in another article very soon.
