So you have decided to take action; burn off that belly fat and achieve that six pack you've been meaning to work on for the past 6 months. I am going to tell you exactly how to do that.
Don't worry, this is not going to involve 300 sit-ups a day followed by 2 hours of jogging.
Lets debunk one major myth first.
You cannot spot reduce. You must reduce overall body fat, you cannot just lose fat from one place. Ex. stomach.
Secondly, no matter how many sit-ups you do, if you do not have low body fat you will not see your abs. For men it's around 10-12%, for women it's around 14%.
Don't get me wrong, a strong core is important. You can accomplish this in about 10 minutes with just a few key exercises. Remember, abs are just like any other muscle group, they need time to recover. Working your abs 2-3 times a week will suffice.
Now I hate to break it to you but there is no bun and thigh rolling, ab rocking, perfect push up machine that will give you magic results. All of these gimmicks can work, with good diet and cardio however. So why not skip the gimmicks and use the proven methods for losing body fat?
The 3 best ways to losing belly fat:
1. Weight Training - Can be done 3 days a week
- Focus on 2 muscle groups a day
- Training should take approximately one hour
- 3 - 4 exercises per muscle group
- 3 sets - 12 reps per exercise
2. Cardio- HIIT - 15 minutes post workout 3 times a week
- Thats it, there's nothing too it, I told you.
3. Nutrition- Proper Diet, 5 - 6 meals a day
- Lots of water
- No carbs past 8pm
There is nothing complicated about this program, there is no need to spend multiple hours doing weight training and cardio when you can start seeing results in a fraction of the time.
Dedicate an hour and fifteen minutes of your time three days a week you will be on the road to success in no time. Be consistent with your workout program and balanced diet and you will start melting those pounds off.
