It’s a common belief that if you want to get a flat stomach you have to do hundreds of crunches every day. This is just not the truth.

In fact, depending on your starting point, doing these crunches can actually make your stomach look bigger. That’s because you’re building your abdominal muscles but not really eliminating or reducing the surrounding fat.

If you want to get a flat stomach, your six pack abs are already present, what you want to do is reduce the belly fat on top and the best way to do that, the best way to get a flat stomach is High-Intensity Muscle Building by doing…

Whole body workouts. The truth of the matter is that the best way to burn fat and to treat your body well is to perform exercises that don’t isolate one muscle but rather larger muscle and joint groups. Things like:

• Squats
• Pull-ups
• Push-ups
• etc..

The Reason:  it burns fat faster!

If you want to see quick results, skip the crunches and attempts to spot fat reduce. They don’t work. Instead, focus on high-intensity, whole body workouts and modifying your diet to boost your metabolism.

Here are a couple possible High-Intensity, Fat-Burning, Muscle Building Workouts:
