The Abs Myth

Myth - Crunches and other ab work gets rid of ab fat.

Fact - The fact is you need to get rid of fat in your whole body. You can never get rid of fat in one area. This is knows as spot reducing. Ab work strengthens the muscles but does not magically make fat disappear. You must follow the fitness triangle. The fitness triangle is cardio, strength training, and nutrition.


Myth - Long bouts of cardio is best for LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS

Fact - Consistent gradual lifelong improvements in strength, interval training and nutritional lifestyle changes are the keys to long term weight loss.


To gradual improvements,

Jeremy
