How many commercials for ab exercise machines have you seen on TV? If you’re like me then it you have seen thousands of ‘em!

These commercials give the impression that it’s possible to burn off your belly fat by doing ab exercises but the truth is that’s not how the body works. You may gain abdominal muscle using these machines you will not lose belly fat.

It’s actually not possible to do this. That’s simply not how the body works. You store fat in different places on your body based on genetics and there’s nothing you can do to change that. In order to burn belly fat

The real key to getting the midsection of your dreams is definitely not doing abdominal exercise in order to build additional ab muscle. The lack of muscle is not the problem. The problem is the flab covering up those muscles!

You can burn off that fat covering your stomach by starting a diet which boosts the metabolism with a calorie spiking day off. What this means is you should start a diet that has a built in “day off” from dieting every week.

The Day Off Diet is the recommended dieting program for boosting the metabolism for faster fat burning. It’s an easy diet plan to follow and to stick with until a dieter’s weight loss goals are reached.

It’s important to spend your time and your money wisely. You can have real results by starting a metabolism boosting diet such as this or you can waste time and money on an ab exercise machine. I think the decision is obvious.

I’m not saying that exercise shouldn’t be a part of your life. I highly recommend starting a strength training program if you are not already doing one. That advice goes for females as well as males. Low impact exercises are a very inefficient use of your time.

The results from doing just thirty minutes of heavy duty strength training are usually much more impressive than doing ninety minutes of low impact conditioning.
