Why Doing Sit-ups is the Wrong Way to Get Six Pack Abs

As long as you dedicate yourself to the right nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes, you should be on your way to that toned, flat stomach you so badly want.

However, if you do just a few things the wrong way, you'll be wasting your time and start to feel like you're working backward, never making any progress.

Doing sit-ups to get six pack abs is one of those "wrong", ineffective things you can do in your attempts to flatten your stomach.

WHAT?? Yes, you read that right.

Sit-ups and other ab exercises are pretty INEFFECTIVE when it comes to getting visible six pack abs!

Here's why:

1. Ab workouts like sit-ups do not create enough of a metabolic response in your body to burn the fat off your stomach. Everyone has a decent pack of abs but most is hidden under layers of fat. What you need to do is burn the fat off your stomach so your abs are visible- but you can NOT do that with sit-ups and ab exercises alone.

2. Posture during sit-ups and other ab exercises is usually incorrect leaving the back vulnerable to injury. Most people either have an arched back or a flat back when doing ab exercises. The correct posture is to have a rounded back that way you strengthen the deep core muscles that support your back. Doing sit-ups with incorrect posture makes them very ineffective for reaching and even toning those important core muscles.

3. Sit-ups only tone and strengthen the ab muscles that are hidden under belly fat. They do not create enough energy to jump start the fat loss needed to uncover those ab muscles.

So you ask, "What am I supposed to do to get my six pack abs?"

Full body exercises:

Lunges

Squats

Snatches

Deadlifts

Mountain Climbers

Sprinting

There are various ways to do each exercise above so you'll never get bored with doing them and your body won't become used to doing them.

While you do full body exercises, you use many joints and many more muscles than you would if you were only doing sit-ups. That's why full body exercises cause a much better and more effective metabolic response than sit-ups. They also increase the fat-burning hormone levels that will help uncover those sexy six pack abs.

Sit-ups are good for toning your abdominal muscles but will not cause your body to burn the fat hiding them.

Doing hundreds of reps of sit-ups and ab routines in hopes of getting a sexy set of six pack abs is a waste of your time. Spend it on something else that really works and you'll have a flat stomach in no time.
