Much research has been done into the seemingly impossible task of “spot reduction” of body fat.

You know…like how to burn fat directly off of your belly WITHOUT taking away from the butt you’re so proud of.

While experts have claimed that there’s no way to “spot reduce” where you’re able to take of the fat, recent studies are showing that it may in fact be possible.

For example, scientists have studied exactly WHERE fat is burned from in order to fuel certain activities.

It seems that there may be a unique connection where the fat cells in the location of the muscles being exercised may actually provide the bulk of the long term fuel for your training.

This is NOT definitive yet, but it holds promise.

It also supports my theory (and again, this is ONLY my theory!) that your MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION plays a STRONG role in how much, and WHERE you can burn fat.

In this article, I reveal a unique tip that I use to increase the “mind-muscle” connection to (again, in theory) burn more belly fat from your training by implementing a crazy “cardio fat blaster”…

If you’re interested in discovering some areas where you may be going wrong in your abs training and your attempts at losing stomach fat, I have an interview for you below that you’ll want to read.

In it, Men’s Health Magazine writer Craig Ballantyne, grills Abs-Expert Mike Geary, author of the internationally popular book, The Truth about Six Pack Abs, on the topic of abs training and the biggest myths and mistakes he sees in this field.

Also, be sure to check out Mike’s site at: http://www.getasixpackfast.net

Here’s a copy of the first half of the interview below. In this part of the interview today, we’ll just deal with training aspects.

In a couple days, I’ll send out the rest of the interview, which Craig and Mike covered the nutrition aspects we need to consider to lose stomach fat and get those hidden abs to show. Enjoy!
CB: Okay Mike, so where does the average man or woman go wrong when it comes to training abs?

MG: Most people are probably going to be surprised with this answer. In their quest for ’six pack abs’, the biggest mistake I see people making is wasting WAY too much of their time training their abs directly… pumping away with all kinds of different abs-specific exercises.

I’m sure you know what I’m referring to. The person is trying so hard to get those abs to show, that they’re spending almost all of their time in the gym with hundreds of reps of various crunches, leg raises, twisting exercises, etc. Meanwhile, all of that wasted time directly training the abs could have been better spent on a properly designed full body workout program that would elicit a much better metabolic response and increase the fat-burning hormone levels in their body as well.

I receive hundreds of fitness questions every day from people all over the world, but by far one of the most common themes in these questions revolve around the struggles that most people are having with how to lose belly fat for good and that stubborn stomach fat that doesn’t seem to want to go away no matter what they try.

Just recently I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow fitness professional named Mike Geary author of the best selling Truth About Six Pack Abs. Now Mike is a well-known expert who deals exclusively with the most effective strategies for losing stomach fat so that you can finally uncover those elusive six pack abs that everyone desires.

Some of Mike’s strategies deal with nutrition aspects and others deal with training techniques, but I was impressed to see that Mike has put together one of the most comprehensive resources for dealing with all of the aspects necessary to finally get rid of that nasty belly fat for good.

The key is that Mike focuses on the REAL techniques that are going to get you lasting results, and teaches you how to avoid all of these “quick-fix” scams and gimmicks that are all over the infomercials and the internet these days.

Several of the mistakes that Mike see’s every day where people are going wrong in their fat loss attempts are: (more…)

For many years I have been trying to crack the fat loss code. I have always carried that stubborn belly fat around my mid section. No matter what I have tried that layer of fat just won’t burn off until now. I now know the way to crack the fat loss code is with a sprinting workout.

Forget those boring never ending cardio sessions in an attempt to crack the fat loss code, the secret to burning off unwanted belly fat is sprint training. Not only does sprint training burn off of those layers of unwanted belly fat to reveal those hard abs but it also greatly improves your physical conditioning. The sprint training workout involves short intense bursts of speed with cool down periods.
Before we get to the actual sprint training workout let’s take a quick look at the science behind the benefits of sprint training and why it is able to crack the fat loss code. (more…)

Now is the time to start your quest to lose belly fat, we will show you the secrets of how to lose belly fat fast. There is no doubting we all want to lose belly fat fast. The belly is the first place to gain belly fat and the last place to lose belly fat. The fat gained around the belly is termed as stubborn fat and for good reason, great perseverance is needed to lose belly fat, I am afraid there are no quick fixes in order to lose belly fat fast. But the good news is it can be done and there is no reason why you can’t lose belly fat and get those six pack abs.

Knowing that belly fat is stubborn means that your fat belly is going to do everything it can to hold onto it. Not a good situation in your quest to lose belly fat. First things first, lets talk about exercise to lose belly fat. First, hit the weights. When lifting, be sure you are lifting as heavy as you possibly can, as this is what will increase your metabolism. You want to aim for the 6-10 rep range, as this is most appropriate for metabolic effects.

Second, incorporate cardio. Don’t do hours on end in an attempt to lose belly fat fast though, focus on doing sprints. In fact, better yet is to sprint first, then do more steady state cardio afterwards. This will help to release the fatty acids from the tissue (mobilize them) and then burn them off during the steady state cardio. This type of set-up can be far more effective at getting that stubborn belly fat off your body than doing a typical cardio session.

Make sure you follow the lose belly fat diet. Too many fat or carbohydrates calories will slow your progress, while protein, generally speaking will help due to the fact the body burns more calories just digesting it.

This can be taken too far though - there is no need to exceed 1.5 grams per pound of body weight, but keeping it up around that level is your best approach. Then, fill in the remainder of your calories with carbohydrates around the workout period and fat during the other times.

Be patient, be consistent in the gym and follow the ab diet plan and you will lose belly fat fast.
