Ab Development Exercises To Leave You Lean And Chiseled Like A Greek Statue

Are you looking to really concentrate on your abs to get some great development

? Do you want to look really great at the beach this summer? Do you want the most effective workouts for ab development you can find? Well, let me tell you, because you are about to be surprised.

But, let us look at the issue in more depth first. It all centers around muscle and fat. Most people do sit ups and crunches and a wide variety of other things to get great ab development. These exercises build great ab muscles. However, they do very little to burn fat which is most peoples problem.

So now the issue becomes one of burning fat so that people can actually see your great ab development. When you consider that a single pound of fat takes 3,500 calories to burn and that an average person only burns 2,000 calories in a day you see it is a rather daunting task. So, how do we solve it?

Again, it is an issue of muscle and fat. You see, muscle weighs more than fat. So, the more muscle your body has the more fat you will burn because your body has to work harder. Once you realize this the best workouts for ab development become obvious. Lift weights.

However, the type of exercises you do make a great difference. Compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time cause your body to exert such force that it actually throws your body into a metabolic shock. This means that you will be burning fat at a higher rate for days on end.

The types of exercises you must do to achieve this are things like dead lifts, dumb bell snatches, military presses, clean and jerks and others. The added benefit to these exercises is that they also work your abs because they are stabilizing your body during the workout.

If you have access to one I would highly recommend using a kettlebell (KB). This is a Russian weight lifting device that has been around for centuries. It looks like a cannonball with a handle on it and, because of the design, is ideal for swinging between the legs. Whereas exercises like the squat and dead lift work your abs indirectly, KB swings target your core and you will really feel it in your abs.

The other benefit of using a KB is that you will burn as many as 20 calories a minute. This is the equivalent of cross country skiing up hill. Because of this you can lose as much as 1% of body fat a week so that you can actually see all the hard work you have been investing in your ab development.

Here is a sample ab development circuit that will chisel you out and melt fat like butter.

KB swing, clean and press, one handed snatch, body weight squats. Do this circuit as many times as you can with only a few seconds rest in between.

This is the best way to go about getting great ab development.
