Bucks County Experts on Lower Ab Exercises - Isolation Is Not The Answer

By Jose Loni

Is it possible to get six pack abs by doing lower ab exercises? The answer is no. Doing lower ab exercises will not get you six pack abs. To get well-defined abs, we need to focus on increasing our metabolism through our diet and increasing our exercise program.

Lower ab exercises will not give us defined abs. Exercises for the lower abs will get the area stronger and help stabilize and support the back and hip area, but it is not possible to spot reduce.

Training the problem area directly will not burn the fat found in that area either. What we need to do is train the whole body so that excess body fat, especially around the stomach area, can be burned as fuel and used as energy.

To get well-defined abs, we need to increase our metabolism. Through our diet, we need to make sure we eat quality foods that our body can easily burn. When our body is able to burn the food we eat, it will then burn the excess fat that we have for further energy production.

Lowering caloric intake by eating small meals 5-6 times throughout the day helps keep our energy up and our blood sugar stable. Energy is used to digest food so the frequent meals help burn even more calories.

Exercising is a great way to increase our metabolism. Resistance training has a way of making our muscles adapt to the increased demands, which results in greater metabolic activity. When the body has increased metabolism, it becomes more efficient at burning fat and utilizing the excess fat as fuel.

Our muscles can also be trained in an anaerobic way through interval training, resulting in highly reactive and explosive muscles. Muscles like these consume even more fuel because of their high metabolic rate with the very welcome ability of getting our body to keep burning excess fat hours after training.

It is not possible to get six pack abs by doing just lower ab exercises. Spot reducing does not work and in order to really have well-defined abs, we must understand and make changes in our diet and exercise program, so we are able to increase our metabolism. - 17269
