Remember, you can not target fat stores through working out select muscle groups. One benefit that this exercise might have is that it will help to strengthen and tone the “transverse abdominis”. The transverse abdominis (TA) is responsible for holding you stomach in so it dosn’t flop out. For a much better exercise for strengthen your TA, check out this wikipedia page.

Almost everyone has the goal of getting their abs showing when they first start a fitness program. It’s hard not to want this coveted body part as it’s often used as a good indicator of just how high your fitness level really is.

Tip three. Compounds lifts. Bench presses, squats, deadlifts and bent over rows. What place to they have in a ‘getting defined abs’ article? A very good place. When you are performing these compound lifts, your abs are working more than you would ever imagine. You try squatting twice your weight without any abdominal strength. How do you think that would go over? Likely not so well. Every time you perform one of these exercises, your abs are going to be working. So give them a hand by focusing on them while lifting. Really tense them up, suck them in and use them to your advantage, allowing their strength to add to the total strength you have available to you. It will help you lift more weight. Period. More weight means more results. Now we are getting somewhere.

This last one is what we want to pay special attention to. Whenever you eat some type of food, your body is going to expand calories in the process of digestion. How many calories it expends is directly related to the type of food you are eating. If you eat 100 calories worth of carbohydrates, you are likely going to expend about 10 calories digesting that for a net total of 90 calories. If you eat 100 calories of fat, your body can almost directly process these to bodily fat and will likely net about 97 calories in total, therefore only burning 3 off in the process of digestion. Protein on the other hand, eat 100 calories of protein rich food and you will burn between 25 and 30 calories just digesting it! This means a net of 70-75 calories thus helping you bring your total daily calorie intake lower meaning a greater belly fat loss for you.
