Shrink That Waist - No Sit-Ups Necessary!

The best way to lose your bowel, to narrow your waist, and to make it look clearer, is NOT to do ab exercises. The number of minutes spent on ab exercises (either 5, 50, or 500) per week will be NO narrow your stomach - period!

• The muscle is there
• Fat does NOT turn into muscle

Muscles that are built and lost are a different entity besides fat and fat loss. To gain muscle, you do resistance exercises (ie, ab exercises) and make sure you have the nutrients to feed your growing muscles. This is a great plan for growing muscles.

BUT, losing fat (no bodybuilder has ever grown enough lumbar muscles and abdomen to get a 40-inch waist, so yes, it's mainly fat), you need to burn fat. The way to do this is not through endurance training. Ever seen the strongest man in a world competition? Most of them look like fat men, but with a lot of muscle under fat. That's what you do with your training, just build muscle under all that FAT.

To lose fat, you need to do two things:

• Create a calorie deficit
• Burn calories

Depending on nutrition will only slow down your whole body, including your muscles. The worst of all the side effects of just a diet is slow metabolism! That's why most Americans will get 6-10 pounds of fat between Thanksgiving and the New Year - their metabolism is so low that their body will save everything that goes into their stomachs as fat as it lives on.

The best proven method for burning fat from your stomach (and your whole body, because we CAN'T see-reduce the fat from our stomachs ... have you ever seen a six-pack model with fat sleeves?) ... is an aerobic condition.

• Jogging
• Elliptical
• Principal of the stairs
• Swim
• Jump rope

The calories burned during crunches may be equivalent to two 12 oz curling. canned soda as many times (okay, maybe not, but you get the point). Cardio-burning activities should take no less than 30 minutes (you may need to do so) and no more than 45 (sometimes 60) minutes. If 45 minutes is too easy, go harder.

Do cardio 4 times a week. If you're not If you're happy with the result, tap back 3 times. If you need more, do 5 or 6 days a week of cardio. And if you are SUPER serious and need to lose it quickly, the best way to double your fat loss is to double your cardio - but not in one session (you'll burn more muscle than fat). That's right, have a morning cardio session at 6:30 am, for 30-45 minutes, again at 6:30 pm, for another 30-45 minutes. Do not do this cardio twice for too long (no more than 3-4 weeks) as it is VERY hard on the body.

There you have it, the best way to lose that bowel, narrow your waist, and look clearer, without ever having to sit.
