Fat Loss Abdominal Supersets

Alot of you have been asking me about abdominal exercises...

"When's the best time to train abdominals?
"What are the best exercises?"
"How often should I train them?"


are just some of the questions I get on this subject.

The answers?

"Any time is a good time (so long as you train them!), exercises that don't put pressure on your back are the best and training your abs three times a week is more than enough to get you results".

Training your abs THROUGHOUT the workout as part of a superset (instead of right at the end like you'll see in most health club programs) is a great way to burn belly fat.

The core muscles can become more and more fatigued as the workout progresses so performing your ab exercises throughout the workout can be a great way of avoiding "core fatigue" and impairing technique towards the end.

The best ab exercises are the ones that DON'T involve you lyeing on your back, curling your shoulder blades off the floor, or any type of movement that requires you to perform hundreds of situps whilst lyeing on the floor.

Exercises that will help you burn belly fat without placing stress on your lower back are by far the most effective.

Here are 4 of my favourite abdominal supersets that I use in my own personal program and with my clients as well.



That's a much better way of training your abs! Perform that workout 3 times a week and see how you go = >
