The oblique muscle is the largest in the abdomen and the focus of most abdominal exercises
. Exercising the obliques muscle is the key to losing belly fat and toning the stomach muscles. While many people focus solely on abdominal exercises to lose belly fat and tone the stomach area, these exercises can be largely ineffective and the wrong way to go about losing stomach fat.
Nutrition
Nutrition is of the utmost importance in shaping the obliques muscle. A diet high in protein and low in calories and fat will help you lose belly fat and reveal the obliques muscle. Processed foods will make you fatter and will help to store unwanted belly fat.
Abdominal Exercises
Doing thousands of crunches will get you nowhere because spending too much time on your abs means spending less time on weight training and high impact cardio that burn calories and fat. The right abs exercises combined with natural, unprocessed food in moderation are more effective than hours of abs exercises.
Diet Food
Diet foods are mainly processed and they are high in artificial sweeteners and bad carbs. Only unprocessed natural foods in moderation will reduce belly fat and reveal the obliques muscle.
Abs Machines
Abs machines are mostly ineffective, a waste of money, and often dangerous to your body. Your focus should be on full body high impact training that will burn the belly fat that is hiding your obliques muscle. There are many effective oblique exercises that will burn fat and tone muscle without the use of abs machines.
