Suffering From Unsightly Ab Fat? These Exercises Will Burn It Off In A Hurry.

I'm sure you're aware that there are lots of different ab exercises that you can do

, but which ones work the best? What if your goal is to burn fat and get flat & firm abs, but not necessarily to have a really strong stomach?

If you want a flat stomach, but don't care about having a super strong midsection, then you may need to change how you're thinking. In fact...

You'll Probably Get Better Results If You Completely Stop Doing Ab Exercises

To get a flat stomach you need to focus on burning fat off your body, not developing strong stomach muscles. Realistically, whenever you do situps or crunches all you're doing is working a small muscle and making it a little stronger every time. This really doesn't help your body burn fat.

Instead of doing small ab exercises, try changing your focus to bigger weight lifting moves. Now I know you're probably not used to hearing this, but lifting weights is one of the best ways to crank up your metabolism and melt the fat off your body. But I know what you're thinking...

Won't I Build A Ton of Muscle and Look Like a Body Builder?

The simple answer to that is NO! Here's the deal...

Touching free weights won't automatically make you inflate and become a body builder lookalike. Men build muscle much faster than women and it's takes extreme dedication and hard work for them to get big.

Lifting weights will help your body build lean muscle which in turn increase your metabolism and practically forces your body to shed fat, even while you're not working out! Weight lifting is hands down the easiest way for women to lose body fat and get a flat stomach, so go for it!

Start out small by doing light weight-lifting exercises like squats, dead lifts, bench press, and rows. If you don't know how to do these exercises, find someone who does and learn from them!

A nice bonus from doing these exercises is that they also engage the lower back and stomach muscles, which will help your midsection look firmer than ever. Plus your body will be healthier because of it, giving you better posture and a stronger core.

I would challenge you to try it out for a couple months and see if you like the results. I find weight lifting to be much more fun than jogging anyway! I think you'll like how you look too, building lean muscle gives your whole body a tighter look and will help you with any 'saggy' spots on your body.
