Awesome Stomach Exercises

Awesome Stomach Exercises

by James Statham

Tired of traditional stomach exercises? Did you know that many exercises that target your abs are actually useless and can even harm your chances of getting lean and ripped? In this article, I'm going to be showing you which exercises and pointless, and what types of exercises will really blast your abs, and shred that fat! By the end of this article, you'll know the basics of what you need to do to burn belly fat super quick!

So what are these traditional stomach exercises? I'm guessing you know what crunches and sit ups are. The so called experts always tell you to target specific areas of your body to see really defined abs. However, the two things that are essential for getting cut abs, are to burn the layer of fat from around you body, and raise your metabolism. These types of exercises are just useless for doing those two things, and all they will do is give you a sore back!

Well then which stomach exercises should you be performing? Good question! Basically, the best abs workouts, aren't abs workouts! I used to perform endless sets of crunches and leg lifts, sometimes two or three times a day, because I was always told by so called experts, that this was how to get ripped. However, after months and months with next to no results, I finally found out what exactly targets your abs and burns fat insanely! The exercises that work best are what's known as compound exercises.

Compound exercises are awesome stomach exercises, because they target a whole bunch of muscle groups. the problem with traditional abs work outs, is that they are too small and isolated. People seem to think that if you target a certain area, you'll burn fat from that area more. Nope! When you exercise, you burn fat from all over your body in equal amounts. This is why it's so important to perform high intense exercises and really blast your muscles.

Now you know a bit about how to improve your stomach exercises, you need to learn about the one vital component about trimming away the fat quick. If you're eating lots of rubbish foods, then how on earth do you think you'll get rid of the belly fat? Make sure you cut out foods that contain empty calories, otherwise all your work at the gym will be for nothing! Now what foods should you eat? Well, protein is key to build muscle, and you want to be strengthening your abs as well as getting rid of fat. Be sure to eat foods such as meat and fish, that contain high protein content.

Remember to keep you workouts under an hour. If your workouts are going over 75 minutes, then you won't get the best muscle burn, because a long workout is no way near as intense enough as a short, sharp workout.
