3 keys for losing inches off your waist

Get ripped of some belly fat is the main objective for many people.
They go to the gym and start a targeted abdominal routine for a 30 or 40 minutes workout: plenty of crunches and torso rotations!
Bad news: this is a very ineffective way to burn the stubborn fat!
- Instead, use this time for a total body workout: full body movements involve abdominals and burn more calories.
- Focus on intensity: add some resistance if needed
- Organize your workout in routines (or supersets) with 2 or 3 exercises: do them without rest (or take it very short), then take a rest between supersets (still short, can be between 30 and 60 seconds).

Following these 3 keys for your workouts will involve both muscular and cardiovascular systems: this is the most effective way to burn more calories (and fat) in a short amount of time.
And, by the way, you’re going to improve your total conditioning: you will improve strength and endurance for better short and long term health benefits.
