3 Abs exercises to Burn Fat and Calories

Many people wish to lose weight and also get their abs to be visible to the public, preferably in a set of 6 but the more the merrier. What to do, oh that is right, you drop to the floor and start pumping stomach endless exercises, sweating your abs out hoping and praying you are doing the right exercises. This article come to pour some light on the old fashioned abdominal exercises most people do at home or at the gym. If you really want to lose weight and get a 6 pack abs please understand this first – it is not about stomach exercises at all, it is about multi-joint exercises that works a large amount of muscles throughout your body all at the same exercise set. Because if you do only stomach exercises you not going to get far.

When you exercise, a few things happen inside your body that cause you to sweat, increase your heart rate and blood pressure and burn calorie and fat. You can do exercises like abs exercises or treadmill jogging. These are very common but many people stop doing them sooner rather than later because they do not see results. You can also do exercises which are more fast paced, and that work different muscle group and burn fat and calories even when you sleep up to two days after workout.

Here are 3 exercises that are totally different from your usual abs exercises but will workout your abs ten times more:

1. Dumbbell rows. Position your self in a push-up position with the hands on two dumbbells. Then row one dumbbell up towards the side of your body while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm.

   

   

   This stabilizing effect during the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me… you’ll feel it in the abs! Do 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or 5 sets of 5 reps.

2. Front squats. Stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders and keep your elbows strait out in front of your body. It is very important to perform front squats properly otherwise you may cause yourself an injury, so a good idea is to seek professional advise from a personal trainer about how to do this the right way. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg exercise, you’ll feel this one in the abs big time! Sets are the same as dumbbell rows.

   

   

3. Mountain climbers. Position yourself in a push-up position and spread your feet apart about shoulder wide. Start shuffling your feet in and out while positioning your knees under your chest when your feet comes up. alternate between your feet as quickly as possible, it looks like you are climbing a mountain. An advanced version of this would be shuffling your hands in and out about 10 inches together with your feet. Doing mountain climbers will workout your entire body, and is actually much harder than real mountain climbing. Do a set of 30 seconds and rest.

   

   

To get your body burning fat and calorie to the max, alternate between all 3 exercises, to make a “super-set”, this way you will get maximum results. Do 3-4 sets of a mix of all 3 exercises and rest for 30 seconds after each exercise before you start the next exercise. After each set, rest for about 1-2 minutes and start the next set.
