I always get asked what my favorite abdominal moves are.
Should I be doing crunches? What will flatten my tummy? How can I get rid of my muffin top?
Well, let me remind you that you can do ANY ab move and as long as your diet isn’t dialed in, your muffin top will remain firmly in place. Spot reduction is a myth or not possible.
If you really want to burn belly fat, you need to do metabolically ‘expensive’ exercises like burpees and mountain climbers. These will get you sweaty and will raise that internal temperature. If you get that metabolism stoked with high intensity workouts, you can actually burn calories AFTER you’re done exercising.
These are great exercises in the video below, but they need to be paired up with high intensity exercises to melt fat off your mid section. Check out the video and the workout that follows for a great at home fat burner:
