Ab machines, ab exercises or fad diets promise you rock hard abs. These ads give you the illusion that spot reducing works and that by targeting the abs directly, you will get rock hard abs. Many commercials make it look like, if you use their product, you will look the overly muscled bodybuilder or the super fit and trim fitness model that they have demonstrating the product.
In reality, we will not look like fitness models in just a few weeks of using the product.
Let's keep it simple. Increase muscles to increase your overall metabolism, which will in turn burn body fat.
When we train to build more muscles, we force our muscles to work at a harder intensity. The increased intensity causes increased metabolic activity within the muscles. With increased metabolic activity, the body must work even harder to provide energy to the muscles, which are working very hard to keep up with the intense exercise activity.
The body burns the food that we eat as fuel and when that is all gone, it takes the necessary energy from the stored fat on our body and uses that as a fuel for the muscles to burn.
During an exercise session, the body trains at a high intensity that causes the muscles to work in an environment that has less oxygen. This causes the body to frantically keep trying to get oxygen to the muscles. When the body has a moment to bring oxygen to the muscles, the muscles increase its metabolic activity by rapidly trying to repair, nourish and remove waste products from the muscles.
This repair and nourishment of the muscles can occur throughout the day and causes the body to burn more calories even after the exercise session is over. As a result, the body becomes a fat burning machine, even when it is not exercising.
Training causes the muscles to increase in size, which will proportionally increase the overall muscle activity and burn more fat.
More muscle means less fat, which inevitably means rock hard abs. It is really that simple! Train hard and lose the fat.
