People in all stages of fitness constantly search the web
for the secret to get rid of stubborn belly fat. Fitness
forums are bombarded with requests for help. The answer
usually offered is to get a particular ab exercise routine
or piece of equipment and burn it off. Unfortunately, the
magic routine or apparatus often recommended more often than
not just doesn’t work.

If all of the magic actually worked, why would so many
people still be seeking the elusive elixir? Let’s face it,
the models you see posing attractively while using the
equipment and demonstrating the routine did not get those
six-pack abs and sculpted bodies from using the equipment.
The models were chosen because they already had six-pack
abs.

So how did they get those sexy stomachs? For sure it is not
from abs exercise alone. Even if exercise by itself was
enough, the exercises most people are looking for are not
the correct types to help lose that stubborn belly fat.
Besides which, there simply is no combination of abs
exercises or complete workouts that will melt off that belly
fat.

Ab exercises do strengthen and build muscle tissue. They are
just not designed to burn fat. The purpose of abs routines
is to tone and strengthen the abdominal muscles. The abs are
already there under the fat but if you want to see them you
have to work on getting a full body workout. This increases
the metabolic rate and increases the fat burning potential
of your system.

Many authorities stress cardio routines to gain this, but
again, cardio alone is not the answer. What it takes is a
complete, rounded program that works all of your lean muscle
tissue with resistance training and multi-joint high
intensity exercises.

The real magic to burning that extra belly fat covering the
abdominals is consistent full body, high intensity routines
combined with a healthy, nutrient rich balanced diet. Ab
workouts by themselves even if they include specific ab
exercises like crunches and leg raises will never make you
lose your belly fat.

In spite of this, the majority of people trying to lose
their gut still continue with their daily ab workouts using
hundreds of reps. And the internet is full of people still
handing out this bogus advice in fitness forums. But it does
not work! The “experts” did not get six-pack abs that way
and neither will you.

I am not saying that you should ignore ab routines.
Abdominal exercises are important. You need them to
strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles and they are a
major aid to your back. But you need to add them into a
complete exercise routine to enjoy their full benefit. The
fact is that abdominal exercises are not designed to burn
fat and they never will.

The most important factors for weight loss in general and
belly fat loss in particular are a full body resistance
workouts and a healthy, balanced diet. Full body exercises
will also work the abs and core muscles and melt the belly
fat so you can see that six-pack of abs that you already
have buried in there.
