Question About Abdominal Workouts for Weight Loss.?

What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: I was reading about abdominal workouts for weight loss and it said that no major results would be shown if I didn’t do aerobic exercise so if I went and played football/soccer everyday and then came home and did reverse crunches, would I see a good improvement? Thanks.
Answer: you need to distiguish between 3 basic work out types.
weightloss
cardio
musclebuilding.

for weight loss specifically you need to make sure that your metabolism doesnt kick into high gear and start burning your protien stores instead of fat. A soldiers force march is one of the best possible ways to burn fat without overdoing it. i did two miles twice a day and went from 19 stone to 14 in 6 months and thats after i increased my eating to 5 meals a day (tells the body it doesnt need to store fat as energy is freely availible)

if your also after a bit of a ripped look thats even better. seperate to your fat loss training you can add muscle mass training (i find the weller system is fantastic). the good thing about building muscles is the sheer amount of calories they burn even when doing nothing. something like 500 calories burned per day for each extra pound of muscle you gain.
