Ab exercises like crunches or bicycles do not burn fat. Although they burn some calories you would have to do between 900-1900 crunches to burn as much calories as you would when walking one mile.
Myth 2: There is such a thing as spot reduction
Some people claim that you can choose where the fat is going to come of by exercising the muscles near the desired area where you want to loose fat. This is not true. To loose fat in the desired erea you have to lower your body`s overall fat percentage.Myth 3: You need to buy something
Businesses who promises you a six pack in 5 days, if you buy their product, only want your money. There are no shortcuts or products that will help you get that six pack. So, next time you see an advertisment for a belt that you only have to strap around your waist in order to get a six pack, ignore it.
Myth 4: You have to do cardio to get a six pack
You don`t need to do cardio in order to loose fat and get a six pack. Although cardio is very healthy for you, it is not necessary if your goal is to get a six pack. Cardio only makes it easier, but is not necessary.
Myth 5: You can shape your six pack
You can not decide or change the shape of your six pack. The shape of your abdominal muscles are chosen by genetics and can therefore not be changed by doing diffrent ab exercises. This is why only some people have a eight pack.
