All these exercises will work to build muscle, not reduce fat. Spot treatment is a myth
building muscle reduces body fat. muscle is a much leaner substance than fat. if you compare one lb of muscle to one lb of fat you will notice the fat occupies much more space than fat. this is the same in the body. reduce your fat OR add muscle and your waistline will shrink.
Well considering the fact that more muscle will increase the amount of calories burned, it actually will reduce fat
Yes, but it will only decrease overall body fat not specifically one area such as your stomach. Like Mike said above spot treatment is a myth. You cannot reduce fat in one specific area such as your stomach.
Well, considering that fat and muscle burn the same amount of calories (Which is zero) when you’re not using them, your point is invalid. The best way to get rid of any fat is a healthy diet and exercise, not isolation exercises like those shown all by themselves.
Running and swimming… nuff said
You burn more of what you eat when you have more muscle mass. But the key is of course to eat less calories than you expend. If you’re not doing anything eating 3000 calories is absurd, if you’re doing harsh two a days thats not such a huge deal.
And cardio is great but liftings gotta be in there somewhere!
@Brandon: The amount of muscle gained will be negligible – not enough to really help.
@Mike: That’s just plain wrong. Muscle has a metabolic cost to maintain. More muscle = a higher basal metabolic rate.
These exercises are fine but won’t help you lose stomach fat.
It’s SO simple: Eat a balanced diet, and do cardio to create a caloric deficit.
