Here is have 5 myths about abs and working out your abs, these are common tails you here in the gym or at parties or wherever, lets debunk those common myths right now.

Myth 1: with abdominal exercises alone I will burn enough fat to make my abs visible.

Fact: You do not burn fat around your stomach just by doing abdominal exercises. Your abs will be visible only if you have a low enough fat percentage. For men it is 10% -12% and for females it is about 16% -18%. If you want to lose excess fat you need to do some sports like running or cardio and you also have to change the way you eat.

Myth 2: You must do a couple hundred sit ups do to get your abs visible

Fact: That is also not true, you have to make sure that the workouts you do are of high quality not high quantity (see myth 1), if you combine quality workouts that with a good diet and some extra sport like running or fitness or whatever you will not have to hundreds of sit ups per day, it wouldn’t even work

Myth 3: You should train your abs every day to get your abs to show.

Fact: It’s even better to schedule the days. Your abdominal muscles are just like the rest of the muscles in your body. They need rest to grow. Through daily training you give them no rest and you will not get the results you are striving for

Myth 4: Women need a different program than men to train their abs.

Fact: The muscles of a women work the same muscles as the muscles of a men. Women usually have a higher fat percentage and would therefore need to do more cardio. But the abs workout remain the same.

Myth 5: If I stop training my abs will turn into fat.

Fact: First abs don’t change in fat, period. When you stop with exercising there is a change that your abs disappear because of the fat growing back on them, but if you do good abs workout and you watch what your eat, you can hold on to those tight abs forever.
