Tired Of Never-Ending Crunches At The Gym?

Why regular ab workouts dont help you lose belly fat and how you can workout less and get better results!

Here a quick piece of advice: crunches suck.

Here’s another: sit-ups suck more.

And if you’re overweight, they are only slightly more useful than nothing.

Crunches and sit-ups work your abdominal muscles, so it seems they would burn through belly fat quicker. Too bad it doesn’t work like that.

What will happen is you’ll have six-pack abs hidden under a 12-pack belly.

Exercising works muscles. You lose weight because those muscles then require more energy, thereby burning reserves of fat. Just because you target your abs doesn’t mean the fat you burn will be from your belly. And to further compound the problem, are you really that into crunches?

Of course not: they suck.

This leaves you tired, frustrated, sore, and not in a good position to finish your weight loss plan. So how do you exercise to lose belly fat?

By exercising more effectively.

While resistance training, rather than focusing on one target muscle, use exercises that utilize several. It’s more effective for burning fat. And while resistance training with low weights should definitely be part of your plan, don’t neglect your cardio.

A half hour of basketball will burn more belly fat than half an hour of weightlifting.

Even badminton will help more than crunches. (Badminton can be surprisingly physical when played properly.)

And who doesn’t have fun playing a game with friends and losing weight at the same time?

So remember, work smarter, not harder.
