8 Minute Abs Exercises

Are you looking for some 8 minute ab exercises that act like atomic bombs to fat

? How about an ab exercise that can burn up to 160 calories in only 8 minutes? I have got some exciting information for you.

But first let us take a look at why exercises like sit ups and crunches really do not work. They are great for building muscle but lousy at burning fat and that is what most of us need, to burn fat.

A single pound of fat requires you burn 3,500 calories in order to lose it. Sit ups and crunches just do not burn those kind of calories. In fact, the average person only burns 2,000 calories in an entire day. So, what kind of ab exercises burn fat fast?

The answer would be kettle bells. These are cannon ball shaped devices with a handle and they are incredibly versatile. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of different exercises that you can do with them. The great thing about them is that they burn fat incredibly fast. Studies have shown that you can burn up to 20 calories a minute. The only exercise that is comparable to that is cross country skiing, uphill!

As I said there are potentially thousands of different exercises you can do, but the grand daddy of them all is the swing. Simply swing the KB between your legs with one hand or two and thrust out with your hips. This will target all the muscles of your core; your back, your hips and, oh yes, your abs. If you ever see pictures of people who use KBs on a regular basis they are all very lean and have great sets of abs from doing the KB swing. If you do this for 8 minutes a day you will be well on the way to achieving your goal.

But, here are a couple more great KB exercises you can try.

Figure 8: To do the figure eight with a lift, simply take a KB and pass it through your legs in a figure eight design. Each time you switch hands you stand up briefly and lift the bell to your chest.

Straight legged dead lift with a twist. In the straight legged dead lift with a twist you stand straight up with your feet together and holding a KB by the handle with both hands. Bend down with your legs straight as you twist to one side lowering the KB to the side of your feet. Stand straight up again and do the same thing on the other side.
