Great Ab Workouts are Not Enough
Many people think that ab workouts are the only way to reduce belly fat and get that much sought after six pack abs. However this is not true. Reducing body fat means not only burning the excess calories in your body, but also looking after the diet to ensure that you do not consume additional calories. Additional fat is present in most of the fast food items that we consume. This fat which is also known as the bad fat contains lot of LDL or bad cholesterol. This is what creates a number of heart problems. Compared to that, the good fat or the mono unsaturated fats, reduces the LDL content and that ensures that there is a reduction in heart diseases. When you work out the over all fat content in your body is reduced. The muscles start to get proportion and increases in mass while the fat cells don't grow any more.
