Ab Workouts

After a recent post on Quickie for your Legs, I was asked to do a post on those horrible love handles we all hate. First, I must teach you about "Spot Reducing". I can't post about abs and say these videos are the answer. Great abs are so much more than just working out. When it comes to spot reducing (reducing fat in one spot) it can't be done. Fat comes off equally over your body. For most, the stomach is the last place noticeable, as it stores the most fat.

Read the article posted on Tuff Phit called Abs Start in the Kitchen. Nutrition plays a huge part in eliminating bloating, water retention, and abdominal muscle definition. If you don't have your diet under control, getting abs or even a flat stomach, will not become a reality. Clean eating (unprocessed foods) is a must! Add in full body resistance training, with cardio, and you will start to see the belly fat melt away. Once the last few overall pounds are off, the abs will be revealed.

Six or eight pack abdominals are what America characterizes as "fit" or "ripped". Remember they are only prominent when you have very little body fat and this takes work and dedication. We are not saying it can't be done, as most assuredly it can. Just know they don't come easy.

So here are a few videos we found to give you the knowledge on focusing in on the abdominal section of your workouts. Incorporate these exercises in with your other routines. We love your feedback and we do listen. Let us know what you think of these videos.

I personally do this one all the time. For beginners, or if you have hip problems, cross your ankles.
