Abs Without Crunches

Okay, so abs are the big thing... but my God, they take serious discipline to get! Abs are hidden under the abdominal fat (which is the hardest to get rid of).

Abs will only appear on bodies that have a low body fat percentage. To get a low body fat percentage, you have to burn body fat. To do that, you need to be disciplined with your diet BIG TIME, supplement with high quality supplements and you need to bring in full body exercises into your workouts.

Compound full body exercises are more beneficial for abs than crunches!

Why??

Because you need to get lean first!! Crunches aren't hard, but chin ups are! Abs aren't easy to get, so obviously easy training won't get you abs. You need to make sure that your workouts are challenging!!

Okay, apart from the fact that deadlifts are my favourite exercise, if you want to boost fat loss, the main objective it to get stronger. You must include full body exercises, like deadlifts, into your routine!

Compound exercises are exercises that require all of your main muscle groups to work really really hard to perform the exercise properly!

Full body exercises are deadly because they really help develop your core strength! Steady core muscles are vital for many reasons... but mainly... because you look deadly with abs! To work your core properly, you need to be making sure that there are full body compound exercises in your programmes.

Full body compound exercises include;

Deadlifts

Squats

Chins 

Cleans

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

LOSE FAT? PHASE TWO!

So, getting back to our BIG QUESTION?

HOW DO WE LOSE FAT??

Well like I said, there are two main simple rules! The first rule is to stop eating crap and the second is to;

TRAIN PROPERLY!!

You need to: 

1. Weight Train 

2. Do high intensity cardio intervals

3. Stop chatting and taking so much rest

So just to briefly expand on these bullet points. 

1. You need to WEIGHT TRAIN!

Why? Because you need to build muscle (no you will NOT get bulky - women do NOT produce enough testosterone to increase muscle dramatically!)this means that not only will your RMR (resting metabolic rate) be elevated but the amount of calories you burn during the 24 hour post workout will be much higher. 

(e.g. When you go for a run, you are burning calories while you are running, but as soon as you get in the front door, you've stopped. Compared to weight training where you are still burning post 24 hours after your workout. You do the maths!)

2. High Intensity Cardio Intervals will leave you butchered, which is how you want to feel after you have been training. If you're going to spend an hour in the gym, make it a beneficial one! It is fact that short intervals result in higher fat loss in relation to long aerobic programs. 

3. Stop taking 3-7 minutes of rest. Put your phone away, stop talking to other people. You need to have discipline when it comes to time keeping, otherwise you're wasting valuable fat loss time. Realistically, you are in charge of your workout (Yes a personal trainer will really help) but if your workout is "too easy" YOU'RE not pushing yourself hard enough. Yeah, we could all do 20 burpies over 10 minutes, try do them in 60 seconds, thats a different story altogether! 

I don't want to drag on, so over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to focus on fat loss tips and ways to speed up the process of burning fat. There are other factors like stress, sleep, supplements, program design etc. so stay tuned :)

COME ON GIRLS,
