Sixpack Exercise For Men and Women. Follow veetadsfitness for more tips! for sixpack exercise. Your abs are more than just a six-pack – They are at the very core of your body and work a lot to balance it out. If you think about it, your abs are flexed during most exercises you can do.
5 Sixpack Exercise
However, if you want to isolate the abdominal area, you are better off, including various exercises that use all of the abs‘ functions. Here are our top 5 ab exercises:
1. Hanging leg raise
2. L-Sit
3. Stomach vacuums
4. Russian twist
5. Static flexing
By diversifying your workouts, you will grant sufficient stimulus to all areas of the abs, including the superficial six-pack & obliques, as well as the inner layers of your abdominal wall. This will ultimately affect your overall performance, as core strength is detrimental to any training. by veetadsfitnes
Is there a proven way to shrink your LOVE HANDLES??
Heck YES! Please click SHARE and help spread the word and dispel the myths!
YES
YES
YES.. you can reduce the thickness and girth of those annoying love handles. But,
NO
NO
NO you CAN NOT spot reduce just one specific area.
In fact, relatively speaking, it’s nearly impossible to to target fat loss.
But HAVE HOPE! There is a way to reduce your love handles! The only catch is that while you’re reducing fat around your waistline you’ll be reducing fat in many other areas of your body simultaneously.
You can NOT reduce fat in an area by working the underlying muscle like the waistline, abs, back of the arms or thighs. There is no exercise that can target fat in one area.
Here’s why: muscle is muscle and fat tissue is fat tissue.
Muscle can not turn into fat cells. Fat cells can not be turned into muscle. Shocked? It’s true.
Rather, muscle tissue can grow or shrink, I.e, hypertrophy/atrophy thereby changing our body composition the increasing the hormones which shrink fat cells
Fat cells also shrink or grow. In fact, you likely have the same number of fat cells today that you had at age 18. The only difference is that those cells expand and shrink depending on our training, diet, nutrition, gender and age.
Fat cells shrink all over at a relatively balanced pace. We store fat all over our body to protect us (Although sometimes it gives us more protection than we need!) this also tends to mean that the first place you notice that collection is also likely to be the last place it comes off.
Muscle development, however, can be targeted! In other words— ignore a muscle and it will shrink in size and strength.
So…the best solution to reducing love handles is to reduce your overall body fat and then targeting the waistline to make that area stronger and tighter.
Reducing your body fat can be done most effectively by doing 4 things;
1. Reduce calories to just slightly below your daily burn, eating clean (a balance of lean protein, dark leafy green vegetables, and the right amount of complex carbohydrates and healthy fats!)
2. Cross train your cardio. Mix up HIIT, with long duration and moderate intensity mid duration. The key is to change it up and keep the body guessing.
3. Heavy strength training! Studies show that even the morbidly obese show quicker fat loss when incorporating heavy strength training.
4. Proper sleep. Sleep is no joke when it comes to body fat. When we are sleep deprived our bodies produce cortisol which tends to collect around the midsection. Simply getting more sleep and changing nothing else can often produce substantial changes in body fat.
Summary- Be patient. It will come off! Praise your progress! There are no shortcuts! Stay the course and remember that overall health should always be your goal.
Though consumers are becoming increasingly more knowledgeable, there is still a large portion of the population that thinks you can target one area of fat on your body. Let’s help spread the word! Please share this post!
Lets do sixpack exercise.
HIIT
HIIT training such as Tabata (20seconds of maximal exercise and 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times for 4-minutes), has been shown to improve VO2max, improve insulin sensitivity and help reduce body fat percentage. The short and intense nature of this training also ensures that the catabolic effects associated with steady state, long-slow duration training are minimised and hypertrophy gains may even be accelerated in the lower extremities, particularly if we adopt a heavy resistance, sprint cycling approach using a indoor cycling bike.
Try introducing 2-3 Tabata sessions per week, at the tail end of your resistance training sessions. This will have more pronounced cardio vascular benefits than doing 1 half-hearted steady state session per week. This is good sixpack exercise.
Fat Loss For Sixpack Exercise
It’s not about how much you weigh, it’s about the shape of your body. If I told you that you could never change the number on the scale but you could change how you look by getting slimmer and leaner would you really care if the number never changed?? I don’t think so.
I love this post from JJ Virgin. She nailed it! Read on to see how she explains the difference between fat loss and weight loss…⠀
⠀
“The most common question I get asked when it comes to these two are…what’s the difference? ⠀
⠀
Well, fat loss typically involves tracking macro nutrients, burst training (HIIT), and lifting weights which usually results in a lower body fat percentage.
⠀
Weight loss, on the other hand, solely focuses on losing weight by tracking calories and doing lots of cardio ….without attention to training or macros (to make sure there’s enough protein to build lean muscle and fuel your metabolism) ‼️⠀
⠀
This is why people focused on fat loss usually look more toned and people who focus on weight loss get “skinny fat” and are commonly disappointed with how they look after ….Especially since too much steady-state cardio can actually make you store fat, not burn it.⠀
⠀
Did you know studies actually show that prolonged endurance exercise can raise levels of the stress hormone cortisol, sending the message to your body to break down muscle for energy and hang on to fat.⠀
⠀
So when you swap the long cardio sessions for burst training + resistance exercise, you’ll be well on your way to your goal body.”
I will add, to me exercise is second.
Getting your food right so your metabolic hormones balance out will allow you to access stored body fat for fuel. Do that FIRST and then your body will encourage more movement. As you start feeling better and better you can then ramp up your exercise to suit your lifestyle
