Abs Workout To Help You Lose Stomach Fat

By: Ed Scow, NSCA-CPT: Certified Fitness & Nutrition Expert to the True Superheroes - Busy Moms & Dads and author of Fat Loss To Go

I'm not gonna lie. I love doing a good abs workout. There's just something about getting that burn in your abs that makes you feel like you've had an awesome workout.

I'm usually a guy who prefers doing big, full-body movements - even while doing an "abs workout" - because they work so much better in an overall fat loss program, but you know what?

Sometimes you just want to feel the burn and get your abs feeling like they've really been worked - the kind of "worked" where you crumple up and groan a bit when you're done because your stomach muscles are reaching their imaginary arms out of your midsection and punching themselves...hard.

I understand that this type of abs workout isn't always the BEST, especially if you're actively trying to lose stomach fat, but damnit, it's just fun to do and it can be done...if you form your workout properly.

To better illustrate what I'm talking about, be sure to check out this quick and video and then be sure to keep reading below to see how you can throw this awesome core workout into a full fat loss workout.

Abs Workout To Help You Lose Stomach Fat

Pretty fun, right?

I promise that if you do that puppy for a solid 4-5 minutes, your abs will be screaming at you!

But...

It's not enough just to do that workout. You can't only do that workout a few times per week and expect to see any results in losing stomach fat.

Don't get me wrong - it'll help...but not much.

This workout is meant to be part of a larger, overall full-body weight loss workout program.

The way I prefer to do something like this, and the way I train my clients here in my training studio, is one of two ways and it depends upon your time available and fitness level.

Here's the first way I'll add this abs workout to help you lose stomach fat...

First, warm-up for about 5-minutes with a big full-body warm-up to get the muscles and joints primed.

Then, move on to a 10-minute full-body fat loss workout such as the following:

1A) Push-up w/Hand Raise - 10 reps

1B) Overhead DB Squat - 8 reps

1C) Bodyweight 1 1/2 Squat - 10 reps

1D) DB Rear Fly - 12 reps

1E) Jump Split Squat - 20 reps

Do that workout in a circuit format, completing as many circuits possible in 10-minutes (with the least amount of rest possible), and then once you're finished with that, move on with the workout from the video. Here's the rundown on that abs workout in case you didn't write it down...

2A) Butt Raise - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off

2B) Stability Ball Jack Knife - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off

Complete that circuit as many times possible in 4-5 minutes.

Then you're done!

The other way I like to do this workout is to do the abs workout FIRST, then do the 10-minute workout, and then do the abs workout AGAIN - so it creates kind of a 10-minute workout sandwich :)

Doing it that way kind of pre-fatigues the abs, and then really exhausts them at the end. I have a few other tricks for doing this style of workout as well, but that's another article for another day.

So what do you think?

Can you add this style of workout into your overall fat loss program?

Of course you can! It doesn't take much time, and yet this abs workout will help you lose stomach fat...if you do it the way I lay it out.

Have an awesome day and I'll talk to you soon!
