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 problem is… they are going about it all wrong! The truth about abs exercises is that you don’t lose belly fat by doing abs exercises.
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.
The way you combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout that maximizes your metabolism is also very important. These types of full body exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts instead of abs exercises directly targeting 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…
Focus on high intensity full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless “ab contraptions”. Include 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!
