7 Exercises NOT To Do If You Want to Lose Belly Fat
Excercises are one thing, but PROPER exercises is a completely different thing. There is a big difference between the two. Some exercises can actually be horrible for losing weight.
If you want to lose weight and have flat abs, here are the seven exercises you want to make sure to avoid:
1. Leg straight leg raises lying down (Go 45 degrees off of the floor, do only one leg at a time and then do both at the same time) 2. Hanging leg raises with an arched back 3. Sit-ups – feet supported up 4. Sit-ups – straight legs 5. ALL machine based leg exercises 6. ALL twisting exercise 7. Torso twists
Don’t forget that the point is that you want to burn belly fat while developing your abdomen muscles. You don’t want to work on your legs, arms or any other part of your body. The exercises you do need to focus around just your abs and the supporting parts only.
These are the bad exercises that you need to avoid if you ultimate goal is to finally have great abs.
1. Lying straight-legged leg raises: An excellent exercise — but NOT for your abs. The lying straight-legged leg raises are great for exercising the LOWER abdomen… but not the classic six-pack abs are. Sure, any exercise is a better than no exercise, but you’re wasting your workout time on lying straight-legged leg raises if your goal is to develop your abs.
2. Leg raises with an arched back: Hanging leg raises with an arched back is not only bad for your abs it’s actually a bad exercise overall.
3. Sit-ups with the feet supported: Sit-ups with no support under your legs are a great exercise, however, the minute you put support below your feet, it kills the entire sit-up exercise.
4. Straight legged sit ups: When the legs are kept straight out during sit ups, the muscles that are being used are in the back and lower abdomen… not the abs!
5. Any machine based ab exercise: Bottomline, no machine can build your abs, there is only one way to earn abs, the hard way.
6. Any machine based twisting exercise: Twisting doesn’t work the abs. Twisting exercises are good exercises to reduce the size of the waist, but that’s all they do.
7. Torso Twists: Again… twisting doesn’t work the abs or burn belly fat.
Get everything out of every MINUTE of your exercise routine. If your goal is to burn belly fat, then make sure to do the right exercises or else you will be wasting your work-out time.
Doing exercises that are not designed to develop your abs is simply a waste of your time and energy, plain and simple.
