Flatter Abs - Strength + Fat Loss

By Dan Soalris

The fast-paced lifestyles people in big cities of the world have nowadays have made it difficult to manage time to do everything one wants to do in a day. The dragging economy has forced a lot of people to work extra hours just to make ends meet and this has made it almost impossible for people to work-out regularly and get flatter abs.

Seeing as I'm in no position to advise you on financial matters and how to earn more, the best I could do is give some tips on how to exercise for more muscle and less fat on a tight schedule. There are still ways to get flatter abs even for people that are busy balancing work and their personal lives.

In their quest for the almighty dollar, a large portion of society these days find it hard to find time to exercise. The lack of adequate physical activity combined with the potpourri of instant, delicious junk food we have at our disposal have made it all too easy to pack on the pounds and get oversized bellies.

Losing weight and attaining flatter abs is all about managing daily intake and usage of calories. A healthy diet and workout regimen designed to keep the body's metabolic rate at optimum calorie-burning levels is all that is really needed to get and maintain six pack abs.

Aside from being able to strut around the beach like a Baywatch lifeguard, having a lean, muscular physique also has the lesser-known advantage of keeping a person's metabolism high. A higher metabolic rate means more calories are used-up by the body instead of storing it as fat.

Studies have found that muscles even burn calories just being there. Buffed people then can burn a significant amount of calories while watching Letterman or updating their Facebook page. Given these facts, there's no question then that doing muscle-building exercises is an essential part of an effective fat loss program.

Putting together a workout program that combines the calorie-busting benefits of high intensity aerobic sessions with muscle-building resistance training is the best way for people with a hectic schedule to get flatter abs. The calories burned doing hour's worth of low to moderate intensity exercises can be done in 15-20 minutes of intense exercise.

It might be a good idea to choose cardio exercises that you find fun to do- mountain-biking, jogging, martial arts, etc. The trick is to avoid dull and repetitive exercises if you want to be consistent with your workouts. Consistency is the key. - 17269
