Rock Hard Abs - Increase Muscle, Lose Fat

By Jose Loni

Work your muscles, lose fat and get rock hard abs. Everyday, we always see a new machine or ab exercise promising rock hard abs. Well, by increasing your muscle mass through weight training, you will lose fat and get rock hard abs!

Ab machines, ab exercises or fad diets promise you rock hard abs. These ads give you the illusion that spot reducing works and that by targeting the abs directly, you will get rock hard abs. Many commercials make it look like, if you use their product, you will look the overly muscled bodybuilder or the super fit and trim fitness model that they have demonstrating the product.

Here's the reality check! You will not look like those fitness models in a few weeks of using their products.

Let's keep it simple. Increase muscles to increase your overall metabolism, which will in turn burn body fat.

Resistance training has a way of making the muscles rapidly adapt to the increased demand of the exercise. As the intensity of the activity increases, the muscles must also work harder, which requires more energy to do the increased muscle activity. The body needs to supply the muscles with the energy to carry out its activity.

The body will go and look for sources of energy to supply the muscles. The body will consume the food we eat and use that first. Then when more energy is required, the body will take the stored body fat and convert that into fuel for the muscles to use.

When we exercise, the body's muscles are worked at a great intensity, which decreases the oxygen in the muscles. The moment the body has a chance to bring oxygen to the muscles, it will work hard to try to repair, replenish and remove waste products from the muscles.

This repair and nourishment of the muscles can occur throughout the day and causes the body to burn more calories even after the exercise session is over. As a result, the body becomes a fat burning machine, even when it is not exercising.

Training causes the muscles to increase in size, which will proportionally increase the overall muscle activity and burn more fat.

Increase muscle, lose fat- when you look at it this way, it seems so simple and it is. It is a simple efficient way to train. By training one, you automatically train the other. It is the fast way to get rock hard abs. - 17269
