Most people believe that if they religiously perform crunch after crunch every day, by the hundreds, they'll see those sexy abs that every guy has on Gossip Girl, or One Tree Hill.
This is not true.
You can have terrific abs, but they'll never be seen if there's a layer of fat covering them.
Here are some tips and top abdominal fat loss exercises: 1.
Cardio is key.
For 90% of the population trying to get abs, the problem isn't that they're not working hard enough on their abs.
It's the layer of fat covering the abs.
Cardio will allow you to burn fat in the abdominal area as well as the rest of the body, which will ultimately tone you and eventually reveal those hidden abs.
2.
Nutrition is 80% of fat loss.
Most of your battle with fat loss happens in the kitchen.
Think of it this way.
Is it easier to lose 400 calories (An hour and a half of moderate jogging), or simply not eat them? Plan out your meals for the day, record them, and you're on a fast-track to losing the fat from your stomach, as well as the rest of your body.
3.
Don't forget the ab exercises.
Just because ab exercises aren't the most important, it doesn't mean that they aren't important.
Make sure to variate your exercises to hit the top abdominal muscles, bottom abdominal muscles and the obliques (side abdominal muscles).
Most exercises target one or two of these areas, making it extremely important to balance the work load on each muscle group.
My favorite upper abdominal exercise is the Janda Situp, lower abdominal exercise is the Leg Lift, and obliques exercise being Dumbbell Side Bend.
Do these in sets of 4x25-40, with 30 second rest intervals, in conjunction with cardio and nutrition and you'll have your perfect abs in no time!
