Losing The Baby Fat

Losing the Baby Fat - The "Spot Reduction Myth"

Busy Moms know how challenging it can be to make their belly fat disappear. Incorporating abdominal exercises as part of your routine is good for improving your strength, but this type of spot reduction exercise is not a silver bullet to lose your tummy. Losing the baby fat takes more than just doing many crunches.

When you want to lose your tummy, your aim is to increase your metabolism by using as many muscles as possible throughout your workout. You will burn more fat by concentrating on the larger muscles. Why? Because crunches only works your smaller stomach muscles and burn less calories compared to doubling or tripling the calories burned by exercising the entire body.
