Lose Stomach Fat - Why Crunches And Sit-ups Don't Work For Belly Fat

By:


Have you been trying to lose your stomach fat? How many crunches or sit-ups or leg lifts have you sweated through? How much fat disappeared? Probably none right? Do you know why?

Spot exercises that target just the abdomens won't burn fat from your belly. They definitely will tighten up your abdomen and you will have lost an in. or so around your waist but they won't get rid of that stomach fat. The abdomens simply aren't a large enough muscle group to burn serious fat. The fat that you did burn potentially came off your chest or your butt but didn't touch nature's preferred fat storage area, the belly.

Larger muscle groups burn more fat than smaller muscle groupings. If you had used all that energy that you put into those intestinal exercises into effective whole body exercises, you would have seen a major drop in stomach fat.

What does that mean? Well it means you would not be searching for a way to lose stomach fat because you already would be looking great.

So back to the drawing board. What type of full body exercises should you be doing?

To be really effective, your exercise has to send a message to the body that it desires more fuel, and plenty of it, right away. This is called kicking up the metabolism. The way to send that message is to use a mix of mild exertion followed by intense exertion followed by mild effort and so on .

An example of this would be walking / jogging for 2 minutes followed by sprinting for one minute followed by walking 2 minutes. Repeat it. Your body's metabolism will start to process fat into fuel to feed what it perceives is an instant need to power your muscles. What's more, it'll continue to process that fat even after you stop exercising.

If you are more into weight training you can follow the same idea. Mild resistance followed by intense resistance. Just ensure you can get your heart rate up while doing this. You need your blood pumping to assemble the new fuel being made by the fat being burned.

If you've been doing spot coaching religiously then you already have the discipline. Just switch up the exercises and you can lose that fat inside two weeks.
