How to Lose Tummy Fat, Flabs?

Trying to burn tummy fat can be a difficult thing to do! It seriously is!

The mainstream idea of how to burn tummy fat involves eating a small amount of calories combined with doing lots of crunches everyday. This is absolutely not true and is ineffective.

If you have ever tried this approach, you have almost undoubtedly found yourself to have slow results.

Doing lots of crunches might help you gain core strength, but it will not help to "spot reduce" your tummy. Spot reduction is a common myth that if you want to lose fat in a certain area, you do so by working the muscle underneath it.

You can never lose fat from just a part of your body. If you gonna do it, its gonna be from all over your body. And trust me, the tummy will be last part it would become visible that you are losing
fat.

To get fat out of your body, you need to a total body workout. Yea, exercise everypart of your body to get all muscles working. The more it works, the more calories your body will burn. Try and do about 300 Calories 4-5 times a week. Its pretty easy, 1/2 hour of running on the Tread Mill would do the trick.

Lift some wieghts before you do your cardio. Coz it would help you burn more calories coz your muscles are already worked up.

Some of these execercises are pretty good they say:
1. Inverted pushups
2. Lunges
3. Seated row
4. Hamstring leg curls on a stability ball
5. Ab crunches on a stability ball
6. Med ball squat, curl, and press

We you really ought to know that you can't eat tons of steaks, fries and other junk food and still expect to get thin! If you really wanna eat, you should do about 1000 Calories 4-5 times a day... hehe

Try it out and let me know whats better and whats not!
