Upper ab workouts

Looking for a great workout to target your upper abs? I’ve got a secret for you. You can’t isolate one part of your abdomen from another…just like you can’t spot reduce fat. How long have you been doing ab exercsises? See any results yet? That’s what I thought. The vast majority of people in the gym are there with the idea of reaching the holy grail; 6 pack abs However, most of them never do because they are going about it in the wrong way. Listen up and I will steer you in the right direction.

When you work your abs they are getting strong and toned. However, ab exercises do not expend enough energy to burn a lot of fat, which is usually obscuring your abs from public display. To show off all that hard work you have put into your abs you need to reduce your over all body fat percentage. Men need to get below 10% and women need to get below 16%. To do this we need to expend a lot of calories. The average person burns about 2000 calories in an average day. However, it takes 3,500 calories to burn a single pound of fat. This is quite a disparity. If we reduced our caloric intake 500 calories each day it would take a week to lose a single pound of fat. How are we ever going to reach our goal of 6 pack abs?

The trick to burning fat so we can see our abs is to raise our metabolism so that we are burning more fat throughout the day. There are a few ways to do this. Two of the easiest are to drink lots of green tea and take cayenne pepper capsules. Both of these foods have the ability to increase our resting metabolism rate.

But, since you’re in the mood to workout, let’s talk about ways to really get your metabolism revving high.

We’ll start with cardio because that seems to be what everyone does to burn fat. But, did you know that running sprints will actually increase your rate of metabolism so that you are burning more calories 1-2 days after your workout?

Next we’ll move to weight lifting. Doing exercises like dead lifts, clean and jerk and dumb bell snatches will not only raise your metabolism and leave you winded but actually work you abs as well. Try it. You’ll see.
