Gain Abs Fitness

By James Statham

Looking for great abs fitness? I bet you didn't know that crunches are actually some of the worst abs exercises! In this article, I'm going to show you how you can get a strong set of abs without having to starve yourself or spend hours jogging on a treadmill. Magazines tell you to do crunches and lots of cardio, but this isn't the best method of getting ripped abs. By the end of this article, you'll have a much better understanding of how you can get results you want!

There's alot of abs fitness equipment on the market currently, but you really don't need the latest release to get great abs. Infact, sorting out your diet is far more important than the exercises you perform. You're not going to get a sexy six pack by eating rubbish foods and thinking you can "burn it off in the gym". The key to getting abs is to lower your body fat levels and raise your metabolism. Your metabolism determines how much body fat your body burns whilst resting. So how do you do this? Well start by cutting out the foods that have no nutritional benefit, such as crisps, cakes and fizzy drinks. If you don't, then you're only harming your chances of getting visible abs. To raise your metabolism, instead of eating three large meals a day, eat six smaller meals per day. This will give your body a constant supply of nutrients, and if you're eating lots of protein, will help your body build lots of muscle!

When your diet is up to scratch, you need to have a solid workout routine in place. To get much better abs fitness and get a six pack quicker, aim to perform short, sharp and intense workouts. Jogging on a treadmill for hours on end is not the best way to do this. This is because this type of workout is not very intense, and doesn't really work the body as much as other exercises. What a long cardio exercise also doesn't do is help raise your metabolism. If you know how to raise your metabolism, then you'll burn fat much quicker! The higher your metabolism is, the more fat your body will want to burn whilst resting! A workout, under an hour, that involves compound exercises which target lots of muscles, are not only super intense, but will help burn the fat so much quicker! This is because when you exercise, you burn fat from all over your body, and not just from one specific area.

Cardio isn't all bad in improving your abs fitness though. As long as your cardio work is short and intense too, then this will help to prevent your body from getting too used to strength training, and provides a difference in your workout. A cardio workout such as swimming is very beneficial. Swimming exercises all your body and if your swim intensely, will destroy fat from all over your body, which will really help in getting visible abs.

If you take on board the three key points I have mentioned here, then you will see the results you desire. As long as you stay dedicated, and don't give up if you haven't got instant results, then your hard work in the gym will pay off! - 29951
