The Truth About Abs Workouts To Lose Belly Fat?

By Ken Richardson

What is the best abs workout for losing stomach fat? There isn't one!

The truth is abs workouts don't increase your metabolism enough to burn fat. The problem is that most people with excess stomach fat looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some "miracle abdominal workout" that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time.

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 focusing most of your time and effort on abdominal exercises and abs workouts to try to flatten your stomach and bring out those six pack abs is simply wasting your time. But by doing the correct workout programs you will reduce your body fat which will then expose your six pack abs.

If you want to know some of the best exercises for getting rid of stubborn stomach fat, there is a variety of them. Ranging from sprinting, dead lifts, lunges, clean ... presses, squats, snatches, press ... pulls, mountain climbers, swings, 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.

A certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core are important, but these are only a small fraction of the exercises needed and your time is better spent focusing on the full body exercises that stimulate the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, a side-effect of working out using mostly full body multi-joint combo exercises are that you indirectly work your entire midsection even though you are not specifically targeting the abs.

Keep in mind that it doesn't matter how hard you workout, the most important thing in exposing your six pack abs is nutrition. Nutrition is without a doubt "king" to getting a six pack set of abs. If your diet is full of junk then you will never get rid of that ugly belly fat that covers up your six pack.

So to clarify...

Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless "abs contraptions" in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. Couple that with a healthy diet full of natural unprocessed whole foods as close to their natural state as possible, and those elusive six-pack abdominals will yours in no time! - 29951
