Seven Things NOT To Do If You Want Flat Abs

Excercises are one thing, but PROPER exercises is a completely different thing. There is a big difference between the two. Some exercises can actually be horrible for losing weight.

If a killer set of abs is your goal, there are seven exercises that you have to avoid. They are:

1. Lying straight-legged leg raises (first 45 degrees off of floor, one leg at a time or both at the same time) 2. Hanging leg raises with an arched back 3. Sit-ups with the feet supported 4. Straight legged sit-ups 5. ANY machine-based ab exercise 6. ANY machine-based twisting exercise 7. Torso twists

Remember, the point here is to burn belly fat while also developing abdominal muscles. You're not focusing on working legs, thighs, arms or anything else. Your exercises need to address your abs and all other supporting areas.

These are the exact exercises that you have to avoid if you goal is to end up with great abs.

1. Straight-Legged leg raises - This is a great exercise overall, especially for your lower abdomen. However, if your goal is to have a six pack, these exercises will not help you at all. Yes, doing any exercise is better than doing no exercise, but don't waste your time with this particular exercise.

2. Leg raises with an arched back: Hanging leg raises straight on your back is a really bad ab exercise. When your back is arched, leg raises are absolutely no good for your abs.

3. Sit-ups with the feet supported: Sit-ups with no support under your legs are a great exercise, however, the minute you put support below your feet, it kills the entire sit-up exercise.

4. Straight legged sit ups: When you keep your legs straight and do sit-ups, you're not working your abs at all, you're working mostly your back.

5. Any machine based ab exercise: No machine is going to build your abs. Great abs are earned the hard way. Get over it and pass on the machines.

6. Any machine based twisting exercise: Twisting is NOT a good ab workout. Twisting is a good workout to reduce the size of the waist, but it will not help you with six-pack abs.

7. Torso Twists: One more time, twisting does not help flatten your abs and it will not really burn enough belly fat.

Your exercise sessions should be working FOR you. If your goal is to burn belly fat and build a six pack abs, you have to make sure you get the most out of every minute if your exercise program.

Make sure to design your exercise routine specifically for your desired end-goals. Simply "working out" is not enough unless your goal is to just "lose weight.
