Belly fat: How do I loose fat % around my stomach/abdominals muscles (mainly the Rectus, external obliques and Transversus abdominis region)?
This has been most frequently asked question either in person, on radio or via emails. There are so many products and ways to loose tummy fat that if either of these products worked then the rest of them will be out business. When doing various types of crunches the primary muscles are shortened and strengthened (increase in lean tissue size as well) but it does not get rid of the fat around it. So picture this; you have lots of fat around your tummy, you are not physically active and your lifestyle is sedentary. You know see someone in a magazine or TV doing crunches who already has a flat tummy (6/7 pack) and you decide to perform similar exercises. What do you think is going to happen to your muscles working primarily and secondarily (those assisting the movement)? First you will ruin your back as it might not be strong enough to handle your upper body weight and then you will use our hip flexors (upper leg muscles) in order to complete the forceful movement. Are you with me so far?
