Situps Don't Work

Do you want to lose stomach fat? Get rid of the pot belly? Burn off the love handles?

All of us have trouble spots and it's very popular to work those areas with special exercises. Stomach fat? Perform situps. Still have stomach fat? Throw in some leg lifts. The more situps and leg lifts you do, the more the stomach fat will melt away. Or so the popular myth goes.

Forget endless situps. Fat doesn't melt away by moving it around, if it did, those silly vibrating belt machines would be in every living room. Remember those machines from old black and white movies? You stand on a platform and let the belt vibrate the fat away. Great idea, but they don't work and neither do situps. Also, doing the same exercise over and over and over again is boring-what's the chance, even if situps work, that you'll keep doing them? I'm falling asleep thinking about it.

Situps won't melt the fat off of your gut, but they do have value, they will strengthen your abdominal muscles.

"...I was running regularly and working out sometimes, but I was still getting fatter... Everything changed when I started your truth about abs program..." I'll show you in my program how I eat TONS of full fat foods like whole eggs, meats, full-fat milk, butter, any and all nuts, avocados, and more delicious foods and how this actually HELPS you to get leaner! Watch my free presentation and you will learn: Shocking foods that burn belly fat 2 so-called "health" foods that you should NEVER eat (they can actually increase stomach fat) Motivation secrets for lifelong fitness success 1 unique "trick" to reduce junk-food cravings Weird workouts that burn abdominal fat faster than typical "cardio" The TRUTH about getting flat abs without bogus "fat burner" pills You'll also learn the 5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs. Get the information you've been looking for ar The TRUTH About Six Pack ABS.

These muscles are used in sports, used in everyday activities around the house and office, promote a healthy posture, and produce a six-pack abs when they push through the fat. For the best effect, do two or three sets of eight to twelve reps once or twice a week. Vary the routine constantly. Again, this will strength your muscles, not burn off fat.

So what burns off the tummy fat? Simple, two things: aerobic exercise and healthy eating. Learn to enjoy cardiovascular exercise so that you can do it several times a week, you'll be amazed at the results. Those problem areas like stomach fat are the first to benefit. Healthy eating (not dieting) will reduce your body fat too. Do them both at the same time and you won't believe the difference!

Summary: First, quit pretending you're "Rocky" and hit the treadmill instead. Second, find a nutritionist and learn how to eat. Life is short, do something that will make a difference.
