Do You Want Great Abs!

Why Sit-ups are a Waste of Time.

Many people spend a high proportion of their exercise time completing high repetitions of sit-ups and variations of the basic crunch to get a lean, toned mid section. While there is nothing wrong with the sit-up or crunch movement, once you can do 10 reps then you are not putting the muscles under enough stress to work them effectively.

In addition, most of us have excess fat covering our abs which needs to be removed before the abs are revealed. As we cannot target fat loss in a particular area of the body the only method to do this is to exercise for fat loss.

I and many others believe there are much more effective exercises to focus on that will indirectly work the abs and the entire core area as well as working the whole body which will stimulate muscle fibres, increase metabolism and as a result burn fat and reveal those abs.

For an excellent programme to get six pack abs and a lean, sexy body, go to the Truth About Abs and see for yourself why sit-ups are a waste of time.
