You Will Need More Than Ab Machines to Burn Belly Fat

By Ricardo d Argence

Have you ever seen an infomercial for an ab machine? They will always have a guy with 6 pack abs, or a woman with a model figure demonstrating the machine. They won't show a full figured person working the machine, because the infomercial is psychologically placing the idea in your head that if you buy the machine and use it, you will look like the people demonstrating the machine. They will always end the infomercial with testimonials from people who have lost weight, and swear by the product.

I don't doubt that these people lost weight using ab machines. Ab machines do burn calories, but I will wager to say the ab machine wasn't the only part of their workout. They probably engaged in other routines like running and cardiovascular exercises. More than likely, they also changed their eating habits.

Ab equipment amasses muscle in the belly region, and it works well for burning off extra calories. That does not, however, indicate that you can eat whatever you want in unlimited quantities.

It is true that ab exercisers will amass muscle around the midsection, yet a poor diet will lead to fat deposits over the muscle mass! Sumo wrestlers are a good example of this, they have a lot of muscle behind the fat. It is actually a firm exercise diet program that they follow to get the fat over the muscle.

Exercise and mental attitude are one part of the equation to losing belly fat. Another part that is just as important is proper diet.

Avoid eating food just prior to sleeping because fat accumulates in the body, while you are dozing. It's a proven fact that eating a big breakfast and a reasonable lunch and supper will help keep your waistline slender. Mostly because after they are finished eating in the morning they will burn more calories throughout the day.

Food items that contain a lot of calories and that you should avoid include anything fried, along with carbonated drinks, and sweets. You can replace lots of unhealthy snacks with vegetables. Simultaneously you will be having more energy and consuming less calories.

I'd like to reiterate that there's no fault in utilizing ab equipment and exercising abs, but folks shouldn't get lofty ideas about the results. If you want to trim your waistline, know that though you do need to exercise all major muscles once in a while, Ab machines by themselves wont help you in reducing your waistline. Working off the fat around your waist requires the proper balance of appropriate eating and working out. - 17273
