Getting Rid of Those Remaining Pounds of Ab FatBy Dane Fletcher It is actually quite difficult to shake off flab especially in the 'love handle' and lower abs area. Most people will resort to doing countless training exercises including millions of side bends, leg raises and sit ups but to no avail. It can actually be very frustrating and a as a result many have turned to the easier way out for example the use of potentially harmful dieting pills and others have gone as far as getting liposuction. Numerous machines that are touted to be the latest and best ways of losing ab flab are invented and released to the market every year. These have also failed people to a large extent. What then is required for this unsightly flab to be lost? The answer is quite simple and this is why most have overlooked it; it requires a combination of weight training, abdominal training, aerobic exercise and a healthy diet. First of all you must inculcate the idea that the notion of fat spot reduction is a mirage. There is no way you are going to lose fat from a designated spot in the body. Fat is lost from all over the body in a gradual process. Again, the first place where fat deposits were made is usually the last place it will be lost. The reason why there are stubborn fat deposit areas is because of our individual genetic make up. For ladies the trouble spots are usually the areas around the waist, the hips and the thighs. Trying to get rid of fat from these specific areas is akin to trying to empty the swimming pool from the deep end. In men the trouble spots shift to the lower reaches of the abdomen and the 'love handles'. As many people go for the workouts that have been listed above it is important to note that all the effort is not entirely useless. In fact it serves to make the ab muscles stronger. The reason however why you cannot be able to show them off is just because of the fat layer that has covered them. Let us quickly go over the four solutions to fat loss. The first thing that will really do wonders for you is aerobics. These cardiovascular exercises are the real fat burners so you better start on these if you are really serious. In the first 20 minutes of a workout the body uses glycogen as fuel. After this source has been expended the body switches to burning fat. That is where you will begin to lose fat so you better get on with jogging, walking, rowing etc. Support yourself with a wholesome and balanced diet. The body needs a feasible source of healthy energy. Eat 5-6 meals daily to prevent overfeeding. As fat gets more difficult to lose reduce the carbohydrate quantity and increase on proteins. The body will consume the glycogen faster then begin burning fat. For your abdominal training learn how to do cable crunches, knee ups (full range), crunches, hip lifts, and stability-ball crunches. Weight training is of the essence. It is a great way to add to the fat losing effort. It will act by helping the body to develop lean muscle. The higher your muscle mass, the higher your rate of metabolism will be. This means that the body's ability to lose fat will be increased. Good luck!
