The Truth About Abs - 6 Common Myths
What Most People Don't Know Will Help You With Toning Your Abdominal Muscles
Myth1: Toning Abdominal Muscles Comes From Doing Ab Exercises
Do Ab Exercises Help You get Abs?
The problem is that there is a layer of fat covering your abdominal muscles and doing ab exercises will not remove that fat. To remove that fat you need to eat less and do more cardio.
Find out more about this myth on on TruthAboutAbs.com.
Myth2: You Can Get Abs in Just 8Mins per Day
Can Toning Abdominal Muscles be That Simple?
If it was as easy as doing a few minutes of ab exercises every day, wouldn't everyone have 6 pack abs?
You can't have visible abdominal muscles just from doing a few ab exercises.
You have to remove the layer of fat as explained in the first myth.
No matter how super duper your ab workout is, whether it's a 6 minute workout or 8 minutes, or 3 minutes.
Unless you get rid of the body fat, you are not going to have visible abdominal muscles.
Myth3: You Can Do Spot Fat Removal
Can You Get Rid of Fat From a Specific Spot of The Body?
You can not do spot fat removal! All you can do is reduce some overall body fat, and your body will decide where the fat comes off. So: you do more cardio and you eat less. Then your body fat drops and eventually the weight will come off the midsection.
Myth4: To Get Abs You Need to Buy Something
Do You Have to Buy a Guide for Toning Abdominal Muscles
Wrong! If toning abdominal muscles was as easy as buying something, everyone would have them.
There's no end to these expensive and varied schemes for toning abdominal muscles easily. They vary from low tech to high tech, but they all have one thing in common: the false idea that you can get visible 6 pack abs with minimum effort. You can't!
Some low tech examples:
1.These fat suits, where it's just a plastic suit you have to wear that makes you sweat. These don't remove fat, they're just a waste of money.
2.Those fifties, wall-mounted belt-vibrators, where women would lean against and shimmy their tush while they're reading magazines and blow-drying their hair. Those look funny now, but back then people thought they removed fat.
The high tech example:
These really expensive electric stimulation devices, where you put little pads on your abs and they shock you, which is the equivalent of doing crunches. And they claim that you can get 6 pack abs while watching tv. Right...
Some things you have to work hard to get, and abs is one of them. It's not a difficult concept, but it takes some dedication. Visit TruthAboutAbs.com to read more about healthy eating and working out for toning abdominal muscles.
Myth5: Toning Lower Abdominal Muscles Requires Special Exercises
Can You do Targeted Exercises For Lower Abs?
And remember myth number 3: there's no such thing as spot fat removal. All you can do is lower your overall body fat through cardio and eating less, and eventually the fat will go away over the belly region.
The belly is the first place the fat is stored and it's the last place it comes off, so you have to get really lean before the fat is going to come off this area. For exercise ideas visit on TruthAboutAbs.com.
Myth6: Toning Abdominal Muscles Requires Long Grueling Workouts
Do You Need to Spend Your Whole Time in The Gym?
These hour-long ab workouts with ab exercises are a complete waste of time if you're trying to get some visible abdominal muscle. You would be much better off spending that 60 minutes doing jogging or cycling to burn off the body fat, rather than doing these ab exercises.
A part of the problem is that people have this misconception that ab exercises are cardiovascular exercises. They're not!
To do a cardiovascular exercise, you need to elevate your heart rate into the weight loss zone, and the only way you can do that is by taking the big muscles (like the quads in the legs) and doing something really strenuous, like jogging, running, or cycling.
The abdominal muscles are really small in comparison to the quads, and there's no way you can possibly get your heart rate into the weight loss zone just by doing ab exercises.
