How Do I Get Rid Of Lower Ab Fat?
By Mark Teal

As a Certified Fitness Trainer, this question has to be the question I am asked the most.  How do I get rid of fat from my abdominal area?  Melt fat from my thighs?  Get rid of my love handles?  Shrink my gluteus maximus?  Lose the flab from around my lower back?

There is no such thing as targeting an area for fat loss
The abdominal machines and gizmos are among the most popular pieces of fitness equipment on the market.  Why?  Because almost all of us would like to have a flatter stomach.  A lean midsection tells the world you are fit.  You care about your body.  You eat right and you exercise.

One of the myths perpetuated through the years has been the idea of "spot reduction".  I'll tell you right now, it's total bull.  There is absolutely no way to lose fat in a specific area of your body by doing a certain exercise or using a specific gizmo.

Here's the hard and simple truth.  The only way to lose fat in your lower abs, or any other "trouble area" for that matter, is to lower your overall body fat percentage.  It's all about body composition - the amount of fat versus the amount of muscle you carry around on your body.

You'll hear the term "target your abs" or "feel the burn" when you do this or that exercise or use this or that machine.  What you are "targeting" is the muscle that lays underneath the fat.  That's fine.  You definitely want to work those muscles.  But you won't see those muscles or get that lean midsection until you lower your body fat percentage - change your body composition.

How do you change your body composition for the better?
Simple.  Here it is.  The way to lose fat and gain muscle, the way to improve your physique, the way to get rid of the fat in those trouble areas...  In just three sentences...  Eat smaller meals several times a day instead of just a couple of big meals.  Get some cardiovascular exercise that raises your heart rate and elevates your breathing level at least 3 times per week.  Train your muscles with weights about 2 or 3 times per week.

It's just that simple.  I wrote a related article last year that you might want to check out as well - Why Losing Weight Should Not Be Your Ultimate Goal.

There are several other things you can do to improve your chances for success in transforming your body and changing your overall body composition for the better.  One of those things is tracking your progress.  Nothing keeps you motivated more than seeing your success.  BodyTrans helps you do just that.  If you've never tried BodyTrans, what are you waiting for?
