Lose Belly Fat
Welcome back. And all the best for your body shaping progress. I know you'll find what you need to help you here. Thanks for visiting!
You’ll probably want to lose belly fat if your 6 pack has turned into a keg.
Or if your bikini belly has adapted for traditional bly dancing.
How to lose belly fat is the concern of the vast majority of overweight people. Perversely, to lose this fat is probably the most difficult of weight loss tasks.
Abdominal muscles are big and like leg and back muscles, they take more time to train into lean muscle than say biceps, that respond quickly because of their smaller comparative size.
Whether you want lean muscle on your midriff or a stand out 6 pack, you are going to have to work for it and be patient.
There are 3 things you need to do to make the most of your abs. You have to get onto a low fat diet , because any fat around your middle will hide your abdominal muscles, no matter how toned they are. You will need to take up a serious, energetic cardio habit to complement the diet and get lean.
You will need to do specific exercises that target your abdominal area as well as whole body exercises like the squat, deadlift and leg press.
So you see, to get a 6 pack or to be totally lean through your midsection, you have to really want it and work for it.
As far as your diet goes, as well as eating the right foods in the right proportions, you can benefit from reputable diet products, especially fat loss supplements and meal replacements.
If you simply want to be toned, get walking and expect your belly fat to start shrinking quite noticeably after 8-12 weeks of brisk walking for 45 minutes to 1 hour 6 days a week.
At around the 6 month mark, the tightening of your abdomen will be very noticeable, no matter what weight you started off with. Keep on walking and you will continue to lose your belly fat slowly but surely.
If you are after a rock hard abdomen or a lean muscle mass to replace your lost belly fat, then you can use specific ab workouts that target this area.
But you cannot bypass the cardio exercise, because if you have any significant amount of fat around your midsection, you can develop the best abs on earth through resistance training, but no one is going to see them because they are hidden behind your belly fat.
There are several excellent programs on the market that you might like to consider. Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto does not just target abs, but is the most detailed and comprehensive text on the subject of diet and fitness that you can download. I have written a detailed review of the Burn the Fat program for you.
Sample Tom’s direct no nonsense style by downloading this FREE report he has written specifically for developing your abs.
Mike Geary also has a very good ab program on the market, where he focuses on sculpting 6 pack abs. He has written several free reports available at his website. Two of his most interesting articles on the subject are The best 3 ab exercises that aren’t called ab exercises and Get Visible Abs.
You’ll notice that Mike is not a fan of long cardio workouts, though he does admit that cardio done correctly does play a part in losing belly fat.
If you are a hardgaining ectomorph, it is worth having a look at no nonsense muscle building a program created by a man once known as “skinny Vinnie” who is now a champion fitness model in Canada.
