Lower Abdominal Fat

Lower abdominal fat is usually the first place our bodies tend to store excess fat tissue.  This fat is often the hardest to lose and requires harsh dieting and intense workout plans.  With the proper nutrition plan and motivation you too can lose that lower abdominal fat and get the body of your dreams.  Just follow the main steps below and you too can get rid of the unwanted abdominal fat.

Step 1: Proper Dieting

I can not stress how important proper dieting is in order to minimize fat.  Eating foods high in fats and carbohydrates is not going to help you shed those last few pounds off.  Choose a diet that is high protein and low fat.  Avoid processed and fast foods as much as possible and eat many small portions throughout the day.  Losing weight does not mean that yo need to starve yourself.  Distribute your meals throughout the day and you will soon see results.  Remember the key to a good diet is consistency!  Do not get caught up in a diet that you know you will be unable to keep up.  For suggestions check out the diet plans on the homepage.

Step 2: Working Out

Having a solid workout plan is necessary if you want to lose that lower abdominal fat.  Remember overworking your muscles can be just as bad as under working them, so pick a plan that is best suited for you.  Some suggestions can also be found on the homepage.  When trying to lose lower abdominal fat choose a plan that incorporates lots of cardio.  Cardio is key to shedding that extra fat off.  Also, make sure that the plan you choose is high sets high reps.  I usually recommend 4-6 sets of 12-15 reps.  Remember to workout all body parts equally.  Just working out abdominals everyday will not give you that six pack you always wanted.  All muscle groups should be worked out equally for fastest results and so that results are proportional.

Step 3: Rest

Rest is very important when dieting.  Over stressing your body is harmful and will inhibit workout results. Make sure you get plenty of rest each night in order too see optimum results.

Step 4: Supplementation

Today’s bodybuilding market is flooded with many new products claiming to cut fat and increase results in half the time.  Most of these supplements make false claims and may even be harmful to your body.  Simple supplementation is the best and most effective way to lose lower abdominal fat.  Having a cup of plain black coffee or a caffeine pill in the morning to rev up you metabolism is an effective way to increase results.  Having a low carb protein shake after intense workouts is also  recommended and will help reduce muscle loss when dieting. Remember you results will come from dieting and working out consistently, not supplementation.

Step 5: Be patient

Losing fat is not easy and takes time.  It will take weeks maybe even a few months before results can be seen.  Remember to be consistent.  Results will come and people will soon notice your new figure.  Keep a daily workout log where you can record results and measurements.  This will help you keep track of your progress.  By following these steps and  working out hard you too can shed off that lower abdominal fat an achieve the body you always wanted.

Tone Lower Abs

Many people wonder, how do I tone my lower abs to get the six pack of my dreams? Well look no further.  The following guide is going to answer this age old question and provide you with the knowledge needed to get those lower abs in peak shape.

First off, remember to keep up with your cardio.  You want to minimize fat gain as much as possible.  Remember, for most people the first place that their bodies store excess fat is around the lower abdominals.  Eat healthy and stay lean in order to keep your abs visible.

You want to perform cardio at least 3 times a week.  The treadmill, elliptical, and stair master are all great ways to burn fat.  Have at least 3 30-45 minute cardio sessions weekly for best results.

Perform workouts that target your lower abdominal muscles twice a week.  You do not want to over train these muscles and it is not recommended to work them out more than twice per week.  To tone lower abs use the following exercises:

Crunches: simple and effective.  4 sets of 15.  Place a weighted plate behind your head if necessary to make more difficult.

Leg raises: this is an excellent way to tone lower abs.  Lay flat on a mat and lift your legs about 6 inches off of the ground.  Hold them there and point your toes while squeezing you lower abs.  Pause for a few seconds or as long as possible.  repeat several times.

Exercise ball crunches: same as normal crunches only with an exercise ball for more of a challenge.
