Is There An Effective Ab Workout For Belly Loss?

By Greg Millican


Drum Roll ....... and the answer is:

None! Nada! Nothing! By themselves, Ab workouts don't increase your metabolic rate enough for effective belly loss.

Following the advice of Mike Geary, a trainer, nutrition specialist, and fitness professional, and working at my own belly to the point where I am comfortable with my abs, I get asked what the best types of exercises and workouts for losing stubborn stomach fat in order to bring out visible six pack abs. The problem is that most people with "a spare tyre", looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some "instant wonder solution" that is going to cut the fat NOW.

The truth is that you don't lose stomach fat by doing ab workouts. They are going about it completely the wrong way.

If you want to reduce your body fat for good, simply doing ab exercises or abdominal workouts to flatten your stomach is a waste of time. You will achieve better, more long lasting results from a correct workout program.

A full body workout consisting of, amongst others, various forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers and sprinting would best answer the question "is there an effective Ab workout for belly loss?".

Combining exercises to give a full body workout rather than just exercises that target the midsection would give a more rounded program and better long term results. The way these exercises are combined is also very important to maximize your metabolism.

Of course, a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core are important, but they are only a small fraction of the programs as your time is better spent focusing on the full body exercises. These rouse the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, a spin-off of working out using mostly full body multi-joint exercises are that you in some way work your entire midsection.

Remember, the key factor in being able to actually SEE your abs is in the area of NUTRICIAN. The old adage, "You are what you eat" is particularly true of your abs - you eat a burger a day, you look like a burger! If you want a 6 pack, cut out the "6 packs (of beer)". Nutrician is king!
So let's clear this up for good...

If you focus too much time on situps, crunches, leg raises, or worse, on those overpriced and underperforming (and I know - I've got one collecting dust under my bed) ab workout machines, you'll never reach the results you desire. If you want results, combine a healthy diet of natural, processed whole foods with a combination of multi-joint exercises. In no time, those mysterious six-pack abdominals will be yours!
