Crunches Do Not Lead to Flat Abs

Yes, it’s getting terribly close to swim suit season, and summer vacation and many of us are not quite seeing our abs as tight and flat as we’d like. So, what’s the best strategy for getting flat abs?

Well, I can tell you one thing:

Endless crunches are NOT the answer.

It’s funny, but one of my buddies who is a personal trainer where I work out had a brand new client come in who wouldn’t believe this to be the truth.

It’s close to summer and swim suit season and She came in demanding they spend her entire 30 minute workout doing some sort of ab exercise.

My friend, the professional personal trainer who has been in the business since she was a teenager tried to explain the tried and true formula for getting flat abs.

But this client wouldn’t have any of it. She simply did not want to hear any of it!

Apparently the idea of combining proper nutrition and the CORRECT exercise program just didn’t make sense to her.

She wanted to focus in on one area.  She, like so many of us believe that we can spot reduce.

We know we can spot muscle build. Biceps, quads, triceps. but there are some who hold on tight to the notion that spot reducing an area works.

We tend to think that if we do 100 more crunches that this may be the answer. I wonder if she really believed that some sort of ab contraption was the secret to flat, sexy abs. I wonder if this woman
had just seen one too many infomercials. Not a very productive way to think.

Needless to say, that was her one and only workout session with my friend the personal trainer just couldn’t take her on as a client if she wasn’t willing to hear – and accept – the TRUTH.

Getting rock-hard abs isn’t rocket science. But there is science behind it. The human body is a very complex machine. And that is why it stuns me when people refuse to listen to trained professionals.

If we wan to get lean and finally lose the belly fat and the love handles, come on guys! Let’s get serious and learn and accept the truth.

We’re going to need to eat the correct nutrients at the correct times. We’re going to perform the correct exercises scientifically proven to melt fat from our body for up to 48 hours after our workout. We’re going to be disciplined.

Most importantly, when we know the truth, we’re going to succeed.
