Rapid Network

It's unfortunate that still most people go about how to get a six pack the wrong way. It's still widely believed that ab exercises like crunches, low fat dieting, and hours of cardio is the answer. These lies have been perpetrated to market products in the multi billion dollar fat loss industry. The truth about abs is quite the opposite from the current beliefs out there. Here are a few tips to see results and rapid fat loss fast.

Full Body Routines

Use full body training routines. This will burn more calories creating a huge metabolic load through the increased oxygen consumption by working so many muscles at once. The lactic acid buildup can help increase natural growth hormone release in the body which is the most potent fat burner your body has.

HIIT or High Intensity Cardio

This is a favorite of mine because a simple 15 minute HIIT workout can replace a 45 minute cardio workout by saving time and burning more calories. How does a 15 minute workout burn more calories than a 45 minute workout? HIIT also increases the oxygen load to a high degree causing a much greater "afterburn" effect, meaning for several hours post workout your metabolism will be increased and you will be burning fat for hours post workout. Sprints and Jumping Rope are great HIIT plans.

Proper Nutrition

It's not necessary to go on an ultra strict calorie counting diet to lose belly fat. A better choice is simply proper food selection and doing the most of your grocery shopping in the outer aisles where you will find the lean meats, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats like nuts. Stay away from highly processed foods and especially sugar. Lifestyle changes are what really promote long term permanent fat loss.
