How can I get ABS?



A TON of people ask me the best ab workouts for them to help their abs to show...

But so many people dont even realize that unless you burn the FAT that is layered on top of your abs, you will never be able to see them! PERIOD!

Now don't get me wrong, its good to focus on your abs and do core workouts, but when you've got a ton of fat in your midsection, there is NO use! You would be better off doing some cardio or some aerobics workout to BURN that fat other than doing 9 million crunches..

So, if you want to lose belly fat, what should you do?

Firstly, you will need to exercise. And a feeble 30 or 40 minutes of cardio in your so-called "fat-burning zone" two or three times a week isn't going to be enough. As you've learned, a full-body training program that includes both cardiovascular and resistance exercise will deliver better, faster results.

Forget about doing hundreds of crunches, sit-ups, or any of the various "drawing in the belly button" exercises. They're virtually useless for most people when it comes to losing belly fat.

As Mike Geary, author of The Truth about Six Pack Abs, points out: "Let's get this straight right now. Abdominal exercises do NOT burn fat away from your abs! This can only be accomplished through a much more effective full-body training routine that maximizes both your metabolic response and your hormonal response to your workouts."

Remember, belly fat is stored energy. To get rid of it, you need to burn more energy (calories) than you eat. And these exercises don't burn enough calories to make much of a difference to the appearance of your waist and stomach.

Want a quick tip?

Yogurt and dairy products that are high in calcium help to burn fat! There have been numerous studies done that have shown that the subjects who took in more calcium lost more fat in the end!
