Ab Specific Workouts Don’t Help To Lose Ab Fat

By EricHanson | December 6, 2009


The usual belief that ab exercises might help you to lose ab fat is the biggest misconception Mike Geary deals with on a daily basis as a fitness professional. Almost everybody has varying degrees of excess body fat around the waist, and the unsurpassed way to get rid of that extra belly fat continues to elude the majority of people.

The biggest problem many people face is doing the wrong exercises and workouts to lose that ugly belly fat and they don’t even know it’s not working. The majority of people are hoping to find a certain ab exercise that might burn off their ugly belly fat already by tomorrow.

If you were searching for the same thing I feel really sorry but I have to disappoint you. All those specific ab workouts DON’T help you to lose ab fat. But don’t get me wrong here, they DO strengthen your abdominal muscles underneath your belly fat.

According to Mike Geary the right thing to do, or better said the right exercise is a full body strategic workout. This will increase a metabolic rate and fat burning hormonal response.
By only doing cardiovascular exercises you will not necessarily get the best metabolic response or hormonal response either.

The best thing you need to do is a training program that focuses entirely on training your whole body in a higher intensity fashion.

This sort of high intensity full body training together with an healthy diet stuffed with nutrient density on a regular basis, is the way to go to lose that extra belly fat that covers your ab muscles.

This is the best program to stick to than just doing ab specific exercises like crunches and leg raising and hoping you’ll lose ab fat and have a nice flat belly with a rock hard six pack.

Unfortunately the vast majority still have those believes that in order to lose abdominal fat, you really need to do ab specific exercises each day and some even think you need to train hours after hours.

I’ve done this myself too, I’ve taken this advice and did the same mistake as most people do. I don’t want you to listen to the people anymore who give you this advice, they just don’t know how this needs to be solved, and they will probably give you even more bad advice.

Like I said before, ab exercises are only good to train your ab muscles, besides that they are good for other reasons as well. But don’t think you will lose ab fat just by doing them.

Following Mike Gearys advice from his book Truth About Abs, I finally managed to lose abdominal fat. I stopped focusing on doing ab specific workouts and started with a healthy diet and a full body training.
