Ab Muscles Help your Back in the Long Run!

By Jane Lane


Have you ever wondered which cardio exercises are best for burning off extra body fat? Is walking (low intensity) better or running (high intensity) better for burning body fat? Well, both low and high intensity exercises will help you burn off body fat. The question is which is more effective and burn more body fat. What is your fat burning zone? When scientists first reported that during intensive exercises, your body burn glycogen, which is a form of stored carbohydrates stored in your liver and muscles for energy and during low intensive exercises, your body burn body fat, everyone suddenly change their workout routines to perform low intensity exercises to burn body fat.

But probably the most important features of getting a six pack is that it has such a great effect on your attitude and overall mental health. Around the world there are a record number of people suffering from depression. We're also getting fatter by the year. Coincidence or not? I know when I gain a few pounds I feel pretty bad. The world isn't just gaining a few pounds, however, it's facing obesity on an epidemic level. So it's no wonder the world is depressed. If you feel down more times than you feel good, you just might be able to get out of your funk by finally attaining a six pack. While I'm not saying that having a six pack will cure mental illness, not by any means, I'm merely saying that having a six pack will improve your outlook on life exponentially.

Drink a glass of water every fifteen minutes during your workout. This may sound like a lot, but it is necessary to keep you hydrated. If you can't drink that much water at once, take smaller amounts every ten minutes. Seemingly tough at first, once you schedule it into your regular training routine, you will quickly adapt to having fluid in your stomach. In fact, the fuller your stomach is, the faster it will empty. Gastric emptying is greatly influenced by its volume. Emptying rate decreases exponentially as fluid volume is depleted. Therefore, an effective way to speed up gastric emptying is by maintaining high fluid volumes in the stomach.

When you consume fluids, the rate of gastric emptying is speedy in the first few minutes, and then steadily slows down. To prevent this, you should consume small amounts of fluids frequently throughout your workout. Large amounts of water ingested quickly (such as 600 ml) during exercise, often causes gastric and intestinal distress. Around 400 ml of water can be cleared in 15 minutes for use, so it would be best to have 200-400 ml of water every 15 minutes for ample hydration.

It's not easy. In fact, it can be downright hard at times. But you know what? Most people wouldn't know because they quit prematurely, before the plan their on even has time to produce any action. If you can just keep eating right and doing the exercises I'm going to tell you about, you'll notice your waist shrinking and that six pack poking through before you know it. So are you ready to head into the six principles to six pack abs? What are you waiting for then lets go!
