The truth about Abs!

abdominal exercises
FREE information on ab exercises, machines and workouts.
There are MANY abdominal exercises... crunches, leg raises, situps, hip thrusts, side bends, weighted situps, crunches with your legs bent, not bent, straight up in the air, 100's of different ab machines, 1000's of ab exercises and workouts on video tapes, 100's of abdominal exercises and machines shown in infomercials, etc. The list goes on and on. BUT, let me ask you a question. Why did you come here to find out information about abdominal exercises? Is it because you want to have a perfect 6 pack? Because you want to get rid of that fat that is on your stomach so you can have washboard abs? Well, are you ready for the truth? Here it is...

The truth is, every one of those abdominal exercises that I just mentioned, plus every ab exercise that I didn't mention, will NOT help you have a perfect 6 pack. EVERY one of these abdominal exercises will only help to strengthen and build your ab muscles. BUT, that won't do a damn thing for you if you have a layer of fat covering them! You see, no abdominal exercises burn fat. None of the ones you see in infomercials, none of the machines you see in your gym, no special ab workouts, and even good old crunches and situps, none of these abdominal exercises will burn the fat on your stomach. All they will do is help make your ab muscles stronger, and help build them. You can make your abs as strong as you want, and build them as nice as you want for as long as you want, but as long as you still have fat, even the slightest amount of fat on your stomach, your abs will not be visible.

You see, nothing, I repeat, NOTHING will burn the fat off of your stomach to let your abs become visible except for a perfect diet and enough cardio/aerobic work. Most people (maybe even you) think that the key to getting perfect abs are abdominal exercises and ab workouts and ab machines. That is 100% bullshit! The key to getting perfect abs is having a low bodyfat. That is it right there, if you have a low bodyfat, then you have visible abs. Maybe your thinking to yourself, "well, my bodyfat isn't that high and I do all types of the best abdominal exercises everyday, and I still can't see my abs." Well, all that means is your bodyfat might be low, but it is not low enough!

You see, you can do every one of the abdominal exercises ever invented, and you can do them with the best form, with the best machines, with the best routines for years and years, but if your diet and cardio/aerobic workout isn't getting rid of the fat, you will NEVER be able to see your abs! I know what your thinking right now, "I saw an infomercial or an ad with these guys and girls with perfect abs doing these ab exercises with these special machines, they all had great bodys, so their product must work right? It must be able to burn the fat on my stomach and give me perfect abs right?" WRONG! If you are thinking that, then you now know how these people make money. They don't want you to know all of the stuff that I just told you, because once you know the truth, you will never buy their useless products, and they won't make money!

So, now you know the big secret and the truth about abdominal exercises. Before you look to the ab machines and different types of crunches, look at your diet and your cardio/aerobic workout because those are the 2 things that will get you perfect abs!

Diet is 90% of your goals in my opinion! Good post.

Side note, anyone see the Simpsons where Lenny meets Rainier Wolfcastle and says his ab machine doesn't work, and Wolfcastle lifts up Lenny's shirt and says "because you have been using it backwards", and Lenny has six pack on his back! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry that post just reminded me of that.
