What about doing sit-ups or crunches?
You should still do some type of AB exercises but do not
make AB exercises the only part of your muscle building
routine.
You can increase your metabolism (burn more fat) if you
do a total body muscle building routine. Include exercises
for every body part that means your upper & lower body
and your ABS
Quick Fix. You can instantly get rid of your pop belly
or pooch by working on not the rectus abdominus (what you
call the six pack or ABS) but the transverse abdominus (TVA).
When you suck in your belly you are actually working your
transverse abdominus (TVA) muscle.
The reason why people have flat midsections is not because
they have a strong rectus abdominus (or ABS) but because
they have a strong transverse abdominus (TVA) Over the years a combination of you losing strength in
your TVA and a gain of fat around your midsection leads
to the pop belly or pooch effect.
The best way to work your TVA is to…
1. Place one of your fingers on your belly button
2. Without taking in a deep breath. Try to move your belly
button inward as far away from your finger as you can
3. hold your belly button in for 5 seconds working your
way up to a minute
4. Advanced: as your holding in your belly button—tightly
squeeze your ABS
Another way to work your TVA is to…
1. Suck in your belly (without taking in a deep breath)
2. Tie a rope not too tightly around your midsection.
3. Every time you relax your TVA muscle the rope will tighten
up around your waist reminding you to tighten your TVA muscle
As you are doing these two TVA exercises do not hold your
breath just breath normally.
Do not rely solely on these TVA exercises to get rid of
your pop belly or pooch area. Remember—You still have
to diet and exercise properly to get rid of the fat around
your midsection.
Here’s a quick summarized action plan to
get rid of your pop belly or pooch
1. Eat six 350-400 calorie meals a day 2-3 hours apart
2. Walk (or do something) everyday for up to 1 hour a day
3. IF you are going to weight train—do exercises for
every body part not just your ABS
4. Train your TVA
I guarantee that you will notice your midsection will get
flatter week after week if you follow this plan—If
