How to Sculpt Your Abs

By John Davenport

Getting a flat stomach is hard enough, but if you really want to sculpt your abs to really bring them out, you'll need to take it one step further than simply getting down on a mat and doing crunches. The truth is that scultpting your abs requires you to get lean in a hurry. If you don't get your body fat percentage way down, you will never have the kind of abs that you dream of.

Getting leaner in a hurry requires you to do the kind of exercises that burn the most fat in the least amount of time. There are 2 kinds of workouts which can do that for you:

1. Cardio workouts - We all know what these mean: running, swimming, cycling, aerobics, rowing, and so on . However, it's the way you do cardio which determines how much fat you will lose, and this is crucial if you really want to sculpt your abs to their utmost beauty. The right way to do cardio is to do what is known as HIIT which stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This means changing the pace and intensity of your workouts every few minutes. Doing so will help you to burn more fat in less time.

2. The second thing you need to do to burn belly fat is to increase your muscle tissue. Muscle burns calories and fat. Remember that. So, if you increase your muscle mass, you burn more calories even while you sleep. It's that powerful. To increase muscle mass you need to do strength exercises. This is true for ladies as well. Don't neglect the dumbbells and weight section of your gym. Often, it can be more effective in the long term than cardio workouts.

The final thing you need to do in order to sculpt your abs is to watch what you eat. All of your workouts will not mean a thing if you don't take care not to stuff yourself silly. Watch what you eat, follow the workout tips I've stated above and you will see great results.
