Improve Abs Fitness

By James Statham

Looking for great abs fitness? I bet you didn't know that crunches are actually some of the worst abs exercises! In this article, I'm going to show you how you can get a strong set of abs without having to starve yourself or spend hours jogging on a treadmill. Magazines tell you to do crunches and lots of cardio, but this isn't the best method of getting ripped abs. By the end of this article, you'll have a much better understanding of how you can get results you want!

Do you know the number one component relating to great abs fitness? It's not doing endless hours of cardio, it is infact your diet. If you can't see your abs, it is because there is a layer of body fat covering up your abs. So even if you have the most muscly abs around, you won't be able to see them if your body fat levels are too high! The best way to lower your body fat is, obviously, improve your diet. Sorry to nag guys, but you need to cut out the rubbish foods that contain empty calories, such as cakes and crisps. Otherwise, the high amounts of fat and sugar will only add to the layer of fat around your belly, which isn't good if you want to see your six pack anytime soon!

To improve your abs fitness, it's also important to have a good workout routine. If you're jogging on the treadmill for hours on end, stop! This isn't intense enough and won't burn body fat quick enough. You need to have workouts that are short, and highly intense. Try to keep your workout no longer than an hour, otherwise your body will switch from a tissue building state, to a tissue destroying state. Did you know that you can't just burn fat from a specific area? That's right, when you burn fat, your body burns it, gram by gram, from all over your body. Therefore, a highly intense exercise will burn fat far quicker than a sit up ever could.

However not all cardio is bad. For optimal abs fitness, combining strength training and effective cardio is a must. For instance, swimming is a great cardio exercise. If you swim intensely for half an hour or so, you're working every single muscle in your body, and burning a ton of fat in the process! Combining cardio with strength training also gives you a break from the weights, which will allow you to recover.

By applying these three key fundamentals, you will start to see your abs fitness really improve! Stay dedicated. Don't give up after a few weeks because you haven't got perfect abs. If you stick to a good routine, then you will get awesome abs that you can show off! - 17274
