I take a 25-minute ab class several times a week but I don seem to be making my midsection more defined. Whats wrong?
Although doing ab classes increases the amount of calories you burn in a day. To lose the body fat that covers your abdominal muscles, you must be in a caloric deficit. Performing cardiovascular exercise will increase the amount of calories burned and will tap into the body’s fat stores to provide the missing calories. If you continue to do ab’s several times a week without proper cardiovascular exercise and nutritional plan, what happens is you will eventually build your ab muscles under your fat. This process will make your mid section look bigger due to the effect of your ab muscles pushing outward along with the layer of fat.
