| Everyday people email me to get the answer to the | | | | mountain climbers, sprinting, etc. |
| age-old question of "What are the best core | | | | Back when I spent hours training people on the |
| abdominal workouts for ripping tight six pack abs?" | | | | one-on-one personal training level, I would entail much |
| Unfortunately the answer that I give has not | | | | of the above mentioned moves in my clients |
| changed....and the answer is None! There is not one | | | | workouts. I almost always would design fully body |
| single ab workout that in isolation will create enough | | | | workouts such as listed above instead of abs |
| of a metabolic response in your body to promote fat | | | | exercises directly targeting the midsection. |
| loss. | | | | However thats not the final answer...The way you |
| You can imagine since I am a personal fitness trainer, | | | | combine those full body exercises into a strategic |
| nutritional guide and fitness professional I am always | | | | workout that maximizes your metabolism is also very |
| being approached by people asking what the "best | | | | crucial. |
| types of exercises and workouts are for losing | | | | Don't get me wrong... I do recommend a certain |
| stubborn stomach fat." Or... What are the most | | | | amount of exercises that directly target the abs and |
| effective stomach workouts in order to bring out | | | | core, but these are only a small fraction of the |
| visible six pack abs?" The problem with this is that | | | | programs I design for my clients as your time is |
| most of the time, people with excess stomach fat | | | | better spent focusing on the full body exercises that |
| are looking to try to uncover their abs via some | | | | stimulate the greatest hormonal and metabolic |
| "miracle fitness program that focuses just on abs" | | | | changes within the body. You know what else is |
| that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time | | | | really cool about doing these full body workouts that |
| flat. | | | | I teach? In addition, to actually working the larger |
| So back to the most highly asked fitness | | | | muscles such as your chest, back and legs; you also |
| question...What are the Best Core Fitness Workouts | | | | will have the opportunity to tone your arms (triceps, |
| that Promote Six Pack Abdominals? | | | | biceps, and shoulders) as well as "GUESS WHAT?" |
| The thing is... they are going about the problem | | | | .....YOUR ABS! |
| entirely the wrong way! The truth is that you don't | | | | Nutrition is without a doubt the "king of getting a six |
| lose stomach fat or get ripped six pack abs by doing | | | | pack". I have heard it said that six packs are baked in |
| ab workouts. | | | | the kitchen and not in the gym. |
| When you spend your energy doing abdominal | | | | So let's clear this up for good... |
| exercise after abdominal exercise, crunch after | | | | Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on |
| crunch with hopes of flattening your stomach and | | | | sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly |
| bringing out those sexy 6-pack abs; you are simply | | | | worthless "abs contraptions" in your efforts to try to |
| wasting your time and energy. What you should be | | | | develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity |
| doing is the correct workout program that will | | | | full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all |
| actually reduce your body fat for ever. | | | | strategically combined into highly effective fat loss |
