Are 20 Minutes of Training Enough?
No! Where did you get that insane idea? Of course 20 minutes arn’t enough! But it’s certainly enough to put you on the right path. If you invest in these 20 minutes two to three times a week, you’ll get a lot closer to your lean, fit body. Let me explain this in a little more detail.
Far too many Old School Bodybuilding Rambos and self-proclaimed “experts” will tell you that in order to have rock-hard abs, you have to work out just as hard—“no pain, no gain.” But this simply isn’t true. Science has taught us that your muscles don’t grow while you’re working out, but afterwards, when you’re resting. (You have to wonder why it took so long for everyone to realize this simple truth.) What does that mean for you? In simple terms: “You should train less and rest more.”
Long, extreme training sessions will not help you build more muscle. On the contrary, they’ll only help you break down muscle mass and lead to possible chronic tissue injuries. Sure, some people can achieve success with such a program. But those are mostly people who were blessed with perfect genes at birth.
Have you ever asked yourself why all body builders look so much alike? That has to do with the fact that most of them have a mesomorphic body structure. That means that their bodies don’t hold on to body fat and they build huge muscles with only the slightest amount of effort. As a matter of fact, most of those people would burn calories and build muscle simply by picking a telephone book up off the floor. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for the rest of us.
What exactly should you do to get rid of your belly fat?
In order to get rid of your belly fat and reveal your washboard stomach, you have to concentrate on short and intense training sessions. This goes for exercises that build muscle as well as exercises that burn fat. These can be combined a lot of the time. With the exercises from The Truth About Abs, you don’t have to jog for hours or be bored out of your mind on a stationary bike. Training programs that recommend that kind of physical conditioning have long been out of date. And what you eat counts as much as how you work out. That’s why Mike Geary provides a large nutrition section in his book with tons of meal tips. Don’t worry, you don’t have to starve yourself. As a matter of fact, you’ll be amazed at how much you have to eat in order to get a flat stomach.
Just forget about all those old fitness and dieting books of yours. Go get your hands on a training program that’s based on the latest scientific developments. The Truth About Abs is an excellent choice if you are looking for a step by step program to reduce your body fat.
