Bad

Here’s what a typical bad routine would look like:

Cardio

The cardio is the main focus when it comes to exercise and this include loads of cardio and also a very long duration. Such cardio may make you lose lean muscle mass and make it difficult for you to get flat abs.

Weight training

Weight training of the bad routine will be done with very light weights and the frequency is usually not often enough.

Abs exercises

The bad routine’s abs exercise is usually only one exercise that is repeated a lot of times, like a crunch, a sit up or other abs specific exercises.

Worse

Cardio

The worse routine will do only light cardio like walking, riding bike, and swimming.

Weight training

The worse routine’s weight training will use body weight exercises only and will include only a few exercises. Have a look at the truth about six pack abs workout guide to learn more exercises to do.

Abs exercises

The worse routine will focus on one abs muscle only with either one or a few exercises.

Worst

Exercise

The worst routine will skip all other exercises in favor of abs specific exercises only and will repeat them a thousand times. There would be a ton of crunches, sit ups and other abs specific exercises included in an effort to build flat abs. But doing so won’t bring any results – you have to burn off you tummy fat first.

Make sure that your exercise routine doesn’t look like one of the above. To make it abs building ready, do cardio interval training for 20 minutes, 3 times a week and do heavy full body weight training for 3 times a week.

1. Aerobic Exercises

Aerobic exercises include any type of exercise that helps the heart and cardio respiratory system. They are easy to perform and they are suggested for people in any age. You can join an aerobics class and exercise for 20 minutes per session at least 3 times per week.

2. Walking

Walking is the easiest form of exercise. You can do it outside or in the comfort of your house (using a treadmill). Walking can help you lose weight and also improve your links and joints. To take most of walking for your weight loss you need to constantly improve both the duration and intensity of your walking exercises. Start slowly (20-30) minutes per day and then gradually increase both the duration and pace of your exercise.

3. Jogging

Jogging is another way to lose pounds. It is not as easy as walking but can produce better results. Before starting jogging is recommended to get the approval of your doctor because your heart and body must be able to withstand the extra pressure. You can also combine walking with jogging for better results. For example you can start with 20 minutes walking and then jogging for 20 minutes.

4. Cycling

Cycling is certainly not for the masses. To do cycling you need to have a bicycle and a place to run. If you can meet these requirements and you have the time and courage then this is a great way to exercise and lose weight fast. Of course you can always use the static bicycles available in gyms but running outdoors is much more effective and fun. With cycling the exercise is allocated to various body parts and can help you lose fat in the difficult areas (thumbs and belly).

5. Swimming

Swimming is both an excellent way to exercise and lose weight. With swimming you will lose weight and fat very fast and the most important thing of all you will also look better. Unlike walking or jogging where the results of losing weight are first visible in the scale, with swimming the results are also visual and this will give you great encouragement to continue.

The weight loss tips presented above can give you an idea of what you can do to lose weight. Certainly you need to exercise but exercise is not only weight training and joining a gym. There are other forms of exercise and sports that can bring you excellent results in a very short amount of time.
