The Best Ab Workout for Belly Fat Loss is Non-existent?
According to Expert Author Mike Geary
The answer to the age-old question of “What is the best ab workout for losing stomach fat?” Or “Does it exist”? is…
None! No! Ab workouts alone do not create enough of a metabolic response in your body to create fat loss.
As a trainer, nutrition specialist, and fitness professional, he often gets asked what are 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 excess stomach fat are looking to try to uncover their abs by searching for some “miracle abdominal workout” that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time but also slashes the cash off their wallets.
The thing is… they are going about the problem entirely the wrong way! True fact is that you don’t lose stomach fat by doing ab workouts.
The problem is by focusing most of your time and effort on abdominal exercises and abs workouts to try to flatten your stomach to bring out 6-pack abs is simply wasting your time.
If I were to choose an answer as to what the best exercises are for losing belly fat, my answer would include full body exercises such as the following:
- various forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers, sprinting, etc.
These types of full body exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts that I would design instead of just abs exercises directly targeting the midsection. The way you combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout to maximize your metabolism is also very important.
Don’t get me wrong… I definitely recommend a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core, but these are only a small fraction of the programs I design for my clients as 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 the most important factor for losing belly fat in order to see your abs is actually in the nutrition arena. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of junk, then your abdominals will be covered with ugly fat. Nutrition is without a doubt the “king of getting a six pack”.
So let’s clear this up for good…
Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless “ab contraptions” in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises (as listed above), using all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. Join 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!
