4 Six-Pack Ab Workout Myths:
Why Hundreds of Crunches and Sit-ups Are the WORST Fat Burning Program to Lose Stomach Fat, Build Your Trunk Muscles, and Give You Six Pack Abs
Few people really understand how the trunk musculature works and, frankly, I don’t blame them for not wanting to know as the trunk muscular system is a very complicated system. But if you want a flatter stomach… a six-pack that makes people stand up and notice your waisteline, then you need to at least follow an exercise program that does understand the complicated trunk musculature…
Let’s dispel some myths:
Myth #1 - You Have to Do Hundreds of Crunches and Sit ups To Lose Belly Fat and Get Flat Abs
If you rely on boring, back-breaking abdominal crunches and sit-ups to burn belly fat, you’ll never lose the ugly belly fat covering your abs. To get more fat burning results in less workout time, use fat burning interval training like we do at Athlon Elite and total-body abdominal exercises instead.
Myth #2 - In Just Four Easy Payments of $29.99, You Can Buy a Miracle-Working Six Pack Ab Machine From a Late-Night informercial
Ha! I wish one of those abdominal exercise contraptions worked half as good as the so-called "experts" say, but infomercial gadgets don’t burn belly fat or flatten your abs (they only burn your money and flatten your wallet!).
Myth #3 - You Have to do Ab Workouts Everyday to Get Six Pack Abs
Not true! In fact, one of the secrets of top fat loss trainers is to drop boring, repetitive ab exercises and replace them with total-body abdominal exercises you only need to do for a few minutes three times per week.
Myth #4 - You Have to Do Cardio in the Fat Burning Zone Everyday to Burn Belly Fat
Long, slow boring cardio in the fat burning "Zone" is not the best way to lose ugly belly fat. In fact, in a recent study, subjects did 40 minutes of slow cardio three times per week for 15 weeks but didn’t lose a single inch of stomach fat. However, only 20 minutes of interval training helped subjects reduce their belly fat.
