The Truth About Abs Exercises and Belly Fat

By Ken Richardson

Which abs exercises are the best for getting rid of belly fat? None of them!

The truth is abs workouts don't really burn fat because they don't increase your metabolism enough to do so. But yet, a lot of people with extra belly fat that want to expose their abs are searching for some miracle abs workout that they think will just hack the fat away in no time flat.

The truth about abs is... they are going about the problem entirely the wrong way! The truth about abs workouts is that you don't lose stomach fat by doing abs workouts.

The problem is that you are simply wasting your time by focusing your efforts on abs exercises and abdominal workouts in an effort to flatten your stomach and expose those six pack abs. But if you have a proper workout program you can lose your body fat which will then uncover your six pack abs.

Some of the best exercises for getting rid of extra belly fat are a variety of deadlifts, lunges, squats, sprinting, presses & pulls, swings, snatches, mountain climbers, etc.

It's very important to combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout routine that will maximize metabolism. Your workouts should encompass a much higher percentage of these full body exercises instead of only abs exercises that directly target the midsection.

Exercises that target the abs and core directly are important, however they are only a small percentage of the exercises needed so your time would be better spent doing full body exercises so that you can stimulate the most hormonal and metabolic changes within your body. Also, even though you are not targeting your midsection using full bodied exercises, indirectly you are still working your entire midsection.

Keep in mind that the most important thing when it comes to losing unwanted stomach fat and to actually be able to see your abs is nutrition. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of junk, then your abdominals will always have an ugly layer of belly fat over them. Nutrition is without a doubt the most important thing in getting a six pack".

So to clear this issue up once and for all...

In your effort to try and develope 6 pack abs, stop wasting so much time doing sit-ups, crunches, leg raises and all of those silly worthless "abs contraptions" and start focusing more on high intensity full body lifts using a combination of multi joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. And remember to include a healthy diet that is full of natural whole foods as close to being in their natural state as possible, and those ever so elusive six pack abs will be yours in no time.
