If you want to know how to lose stomach fat and get 6-pack
abs, I can tell you in about 30 seconds. You don't need
complex six pack ab workouts containing hundreds of
crunches and dozens of exercises each week. The best way to
burn belly fat and start seeing your 6-pack is to spend
less time focusing on it!
In my opinion, all you need to do to get 6-pack abs is
this...
Lose belly fat with nutrition, intervals, and resistance
training.
More specifically...
First, start by improving the quality of the food you eat.
No more processed carbohydrates, no more sugar, no more
deep-fried foods, no more fast food, and no more sodas or
juices. Simply making these changes will help you lose
stomach fat fast, and you'll drop your body fat percentage
in just days.
Next, you need to spend more time on the basic workout
methods, such as total body strength training and interval
training, and less time on boring, ineffective ab training
exercises. Doing hundreds of crunches won't get you
results. And doing long, slow boring cardio is also an
inefficient way to burn belly fat and see your 6-pack abs.
According to researchers from Australia, including
Professor Steve Boucher, the only way to spot reduce belly
fat is to use interval training. This exercise method burns
more belly fat than slow cardio workouts.
Once you've taken care of your nutrition, resistance
training, and interval training, you can start with basic
abdominal workouts. Here's what you need to know, and this
will surprise you!
1) Beginners should stay the heck away from situps and
crunch-type movements until they master the Plank, Side
Plank, and Bird Dog.
You have to take care of your back before you can start
pounding it with traditional ab exercises.
2) Here are some my favorite no-crunch ab movements for
intermediate exercisers...
a) the Stability Ball Rollout (also can be done with the Ab
Wheel or as a Barbell Rollout)
b) the Stability Ball Jackknife
c) the Plank with Your Arms on the Ball (which according to
research quoted in Mens Health, this exercise works your
abs 30% harder thanregular Plank - all without messing your
low back).
Okay, so I've given my controversial advice about what
beginners and intermediate fitness levels should do for
abs...now for my more advanced 6-pack ab recommendations.
But first, I want to mention some "unknown" ab builders...
a) The Elevated Pushup
b) Straight Arm Cable Pullover
c) Front Squat
d) DB Pullover & even DB Triceps Extensions with extra
stretch
All great total body moves to have in your program to burn
calories and build abs at the same time.
3) What do you really need to do to bring out your abs once
you have your body fat low?
My favorite advanced ab exercise is Cable Crunches, which
are without a doubt, the best resistance exercise for
building abs. There are several ways to do them, with one
version being safer but just as effective as all other
versions.
The big message I like to get across to clients is that
they can build 6-pack abs without ever doing a single
crunch while lying on their backs.
It shocks people, but it is true. If you want to lose
stomach fat fast and see your six pack abs, focus on your
nutrition, total body strength training, and interval
training before you even consider adding more reps to your
current ab workout.
