Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Do you ever wonder which cardio machines or which workouts will help you lose weight the fastest? The bottom line is, no matter how much cardio you do, you still have to do your weight training.

Fitness: How Can I Get a 6 Pack?

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

I get asked this question a lot, “what are the best exercises to get a 6 pack?” So I’m gonna let you in a little secret. You ready? There is NO such thing as an all around ab routine to get you cut up!

People assume that the more crunches, planks, or machines you use, you will be as cut up as a UFC lightweight. It boils down to the classic two components. Your diet and your exercise routines! If you strictly just do ab workouts and no cardio and eat like garbage, the extra muscle you build underneath the fat is going to push out the fat that’s already there!

First thing’s first, get your weight down, focus on the fat loss, and then you can get creative with your abs. Next segment (tomorrow) we will go over some creative workout routines to help burn fat! For more health tips log on to fatdanielfitness.com.
