What is the single best abdominal workout to lose belly fat? Is it the crunch or the sit-up? Before we answer that question, we all would love to have sleek and defined abdominals. The best we could do show our abdominals is to remove any layers of fat that surround it. Those include those love handles, beer belly gut, and other excess fat in that area. For men, when we have excess belly fat, we tend to look like apples- a rather large apple. For women, when they have excess belly fat, they tend to look like pears- (again) a rather large pear. What single abdominal exercise can we do in order to look less like an apple or a pear? There is none.
Despite all those abdominal exercise gadgets that have made millions of dollars, there are no single abdominal exercises that make us lose fat in our midsection. Isolation abdominal exercise movements cannot even get our metabolism up and going to burn off enough calories and fat for any significant improvement. People are approaching the problem from the wrong perspective. They would have to look at the problem of excess belly fat by doing the proper exercises and to have a proper diet.
As far as exercises, compound exercise movements or full body exercise movements are the type of exercises that can get our metabolism up and going. When our metabolism is up and going, we will be burning calories and fat. There is a whole lot of full body exercises that you can do such as sprinting (a great way to burn fat), lunges (with or without weights), swings (with kettle bells or dumb bells), squats, dead lifts, cleans and presses (with a barbell or dumb bell), mountain climbers (one of my favorites), renegade push-ups, high pulls, and other compound and full body movements. You may be familiar with some of the movements- but these movements require us to use more than just our abdominals to do them. It requires us to use our buttocks, legs, chest, etc. to work in conjunction with one another (rather than working independently or in an isolated way). Diet is also critical in order to lose belly fat. Excess sugars and starches will be stored as fat in our belly and other parts of our body.
Our midsection or abdominals are a peculiar animal. If we try to work on them directly such as crunches or sit-ups, they do not respond as well. But, if we indirectly work on them using full body exercises as previously mentioned, we will lose our belly fat and get those abdominals and core to come out.
