Taunton: stop doing crunch exercises to work your abs your wasting time


Do you ever Wonder why all those crunch exercises , don't seem to do much at all?


If I were to ask you why you started working out? What would you tell me? You might tell me that you want to lose your stomach. Which is alot peoples goals. Which is awesome , glad here you've taken the first step. But doing a billion crunch exercises ( especially on those ab machines don't get me started on those) and cardio for an hour isn't going get you any where soon.



So, as far as the exercise goes stop doing so many crunches. Start doing free weight and body weight exercises, these will not only help you lose the fat from your stomach. But, these often engage your abs. They work your whole abs how they should be worked. avoid or limit isolation exercises like curls and shoulder raises they don't do anything for fat loss. Check out this sample workout.

squats 8 reps
pull ups 8 reps
kettllebell swings 20 reps
incline press 8 reps
ab roller 12 reps
spider push ups 16 reps
pikes 12 reps

go thru 2-3 times

Now you see every single exercise I'm engaging my core, the last three concretes on the abs a lot because they force you to stabalize your abs throughout the exercise. (Which is what your abs are made to do.) Next you should do some type interval training which I discuss
here
this is great for fat loss.



I dont want to get to into nutrition too much, but follow these three tips to maxmize your results.

1. Eat 5 meals a day, eating every 2-4 hours.

2. Get rid of junk and proccesed foods.

3. Stick to:
Lean proteins
Whole grains
veggies
fruits
good fat

Put this in your exercise program for 21 days and I know your stomach will flatten. E-mail me back and tell me how it goes. Seriously.

I hope you guys will put this in your routine and reach your goals. Since its the holiday season I have a great offer for you this holiday that will end soon. Let me know if your interested in getting full access to my bootcamp for a year only $299.
