Working out your abs does not burn fat from your belly
Summer is gettin pretty close and everyone wants now to look good when they take of their shirts and the swimming pool. Everyone wants a six pack now, but things are not that simple. Please note that working your abs will not necessary get you a six pack; you will have strenghtened your ab muscles but if you have fat on your belly they will not be visible. So please write this down everyone: working out your abs does not burn fat from your belly.
If you want to have a six pack but you have fat on your belly you should first get rid of the fat using a diet and a lot of cardio exercises. Below are presented three simple exercises that everyone, man or women, can do at home to make those abs look nice.
1) The bicycle exercise
Obliques Bicycle Abs Exercise
This exercise is pretty easy to do: touch your elbow with the opposite leg. That means you shoult touch the right elbow with the left knee and the left elbow with the right knee. This exercise uses the obliques and our upper ab muscles also. You should try to do 3 to 4 series of 15-20 reps on each side with a 10-15 seconds brake between changind sides and 1-2 minutes between each series.
2) Exercise for our lower ab
Lower abs exercise
This exercise can be pretty difficult at the beggining and most definetly you will feel your lower abs the next few days. The correct way to do this exercise is to either hold your hands on the ground, paralell with your body like in the picture or you can put your fists under your bottocks and use them as a point of rotation. The legs should not be fully extended as it will become pretty unconfartable. You should try to do 3 to 4 series of 15-20 reps on each side with a 10-15 seconds brake between changind sides and 1-2 minutes between each series.
3) Exercise specifically for the obliques
Side abs exercise
This exercise works masivelly our obliques and it can be a pretty difficutl exercise to perform. The difference between the first and this one is that this one solicitates only the obliques, the obliques being on the right and left side of your middle body. You should try to do 3 to 4 series of 15-20 reps on each side with a 10-15 seconds brake between changind sides and 1-2 minutes between each series.
Good luck and take it easy if you are lacking physical shape.
