I hear it all the time in my training business. "I want to
lose this stomach fat, so I've been doing 200 crunches a
day and it just doesn't work."
I don't blame the person. It's only natural to think that
because you have stomach fat you'll burn it off by doing
crunches. Plus all the infomercials selling their junk
make it seem that it's that easy.
The truth is that doing endless amounts of crunches,
sit-ups or abs working gizmos will do next to nothing when
it comes to losing stomach fat.
Sure they'll help strengthen the muscles, but what good
does that do if you have a layer of flabby goo covering
them up?
In order to lose stomach fat you need to have the right mix
of cardio, strength training and nutrition.
Sure, when you were in high school or college you could
spend hours upon hours working out to get a great physique,
but it's not that way anymore if you have a job, family
life and other "real world" responsibilities.
You have to know exactly how to go about it and you can't
waste anytime in your workouts.
So here's what you need to do right now to help you lose
stomach fat for good.
1) Set some goals and plan ahead. Sounds boring, but it's
essential you do these if you really want to lose stomach
fat.
You're a busy person and if you don't have a plan for going
about this, you're going to waste a lot of time. Time that
could be spent with your family, or on other hobbies or
just time wasted in the gym.
Set meaningful, attainable goals and plan out what your
weeks normally look like so you can get an idea of when to
schedule your workouts and how to structure your eating.
Do you need to cook a bunch of chicken breast on Sunday so
you'll have it ready during the week? Do it.
2) Focus your workouts on doing full body exercises and
full body workouts rather than using machines and focusing
on body parts only.
Forget about doing lots of crunches, bicep curls and
triceps kickbacks if you want to lose fat. They're a waste
of time for busy people.
You need to focus on doing exercises like squats, lunges,
rows and push-ups and only using dumbbells for your
resistance rather than the machines found in most health
clubs.
Doing so will ensure you get the most muscle involved which
means you'll burn the most fat, especially from your
stomach.
3) Get creative with your cardio. Forget about doing
long, boring cardio on the treadmill, elliptical or
stairclimber.
Play basketball, do intervals, go for a hard run or bike
ride, play soccer.
Use your imagination. There's no rule that says your
cardio has to be done indoors on a piece of machinery. Use
your brain.
Work up a good sweat and don't stop moving.
Follow these 3 rules and you'll be well on your way to
losing stomach fat and getting the toned body you've always
wanted.
