Ab Exercises Are A Joke

Ab Exercises Are A Joke
You want to lose your gut?

Stop doing crunches and start doing harder, but shorter
cardio sessions.

There's no such thing as spot reducing exercises, but
according to Australian research, interval training can
actually help spot reduce belly fat more than body fat
anywhere else on the body, so when you do interval training
and you lose fat it's mostly coming from around your abs.

Interval training is a big part of Turbulence Training,
obviously that means that people are going to have a great
opportunity to lose belly fat and therefore see their
abdominals better than ever before.

In Turbulence Training, don't spend 30 minutes three times
per week on abdominals in the Turbulence Training programs,
but we do put in the most effective abdominal exercises,
maybe one or two, in each workout or maybe just one or two
for the entire week.

And we only use the best exercises incorporated into a
total body workout to boost metabolism and help get your
abdominal muscles ready so that when you get the body fat
off you'll see them.

When I train men and women, getting them to do their first
chin up would amaze them at how much the abdominals were
working in a chin up exercise. And most people if they're
just doing exercises on a machine sitting down, they don't
realize how hard these total body exercises are actually
working your abdominals.

So that's why we use these, what I call multi-muscle
exercises, rather than sitting down in a machine type of
exercises.

Total body strength training and interval training, as
found in Turbulence Training, is all about getting rid of
belly fat and helping people get flat stomachs but without
doing endless repetitions of crunches.

Most people don't realize how hard their stomach is working
to maintain that proper pushup position when actually doing
the movement. And most of the exercises I do for the abs
people wouldn't think that they are for the abs like the
pushup.

People still tend to believe movements like crunches and
other exercises where you're laying on your back work your
abs the best. But you will get great results with interval
training and other total body exercises. That
combination's far more effective than any type of crunch or
other exercises where the ground is supporting your back.

And you know what? The best abdominals that I ever saw on
people were on athletes who had never actually done any
abdominal exercises in their entire lives.

They were just very fit athletes but their sporting
movements and their other training gave them the abdominals
that most people want. So people have to understand that
you could lie on your back all day and do ab exercises but
unless you're putting everything else together you're not
going to have the abs that you want.

So, again, don't get too hung up on the abdominal
exercises, especially the ones you see in magazines that
are talking about these 30 minute ab routines. A lot of
stuff in some magazine is just there because they know
that's what people want to see. It gives them what they
want but not what they need. So, don't get hung up on the
ab exercises, the crunches and that type of stuff, just
focus on getting rid of that body fat and you'll be
surprised at how good your abs are even without spending a
lot of time on your abs.
