Effective ab workouts

Are you looking for an effective ab workout that burns fat and really shows off your abs? Have you tried all the typical ab workouts but just haven’t had any success? Well I’ve got just the thing for you. It’s guaranteed to raise your metabolism and burn fat and, you never would have guessed what the workout is in a million years…

You see, the problem with most ab workouts is that they target the abs. This is fine if you want to waste a lot of time and get little in return. The thing is, you can’t spot reduce fat on your abs just like you can’t spot reduce fat on your left arm. Even if you could, those exercises don’t do too much to burn calories or, more importantly, raise your resting rate of metabolism.

So, if you think about it, while traditional ab workouts like sit ups and crunches are effective at strengthening the ab muscles, they are very ineffective at burning the fat that covers them.

So, what is an effective ab workout that strengthens the abs as well as burns fat? Here’s the surprise. You want to work muscles that have no apparent connection with the abs. By doing compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time you will raise your body’s resting metabolism rate so you will be burning more calories even after your workout. You will also be building muscle and the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn.

So, what are these so called compound exercises anyway? I’ll tell you. Ready?

Dead lift, Romanian dead lift, Squats, Lunges, Bench press, Clean and press, One handed dumb bell snatch, Military press and a number of others.
