Work your muscles, lose fat and get rock hard abs. Everyday, we always see a new machine or ab exercise promising rock hard abs. Well, by increasing your muscle mass through weight training, you will lose fat and get rock hard abs!
New exercises, ab machines or diets all promise the same thing- fantastic abs. It’s incredible how they market the new machines and exercises to make you believe that if you use their product, you will look like the over-muscled bodybuilder or the super trim fitness model that they have demonstrating the exercises.
But really, you won’t look trim and fit like the fitness models by using their products.
Let’s build muscle! Building muscles are the key to really jump-start your metabolism and burn fat.
You see, when we train our body to build muscles, the muscles will adapt to the increased demand and be forced to increase its activity level. This increased activity level requires more energy to function. The body must then provide the muscles with fuel to keep the body moving.
The body will go and look for sources of energy to supply the muscles. The body will consume the food we eat and use that first. Then when more energy is required, the body will take the stored body fat and convert that into fuel for the muscles to use.
During an exercise session, the body trains at a high intensity that causes the muscles to work in an environment that has less oxygen. This causes the body to frantically keep trying to get oxygen to the muscles. When the body has a moment to bring oxygen to the muscles, the muscles increase its metabolic activity by rapidly trying to repair, nourish and remove waste products from the muscles.
This repair and nourishment of the muscles can occur throughout the day and causes the body to burn more calories even after the exercise session is over. As a result, the body becomes a fat burning machine, even when it is not exercising.
Then after a few days of training, the muscles increase in size, which then causes the muscles to increase its activity even more.
When we build muscle, we are really building a fat burning machine in our body that will burn fat, increase fat loss and get us those rock hard abs that we want.
