Lose Belly Fat Over 40- Why Crunches Don't Help That Much
By Perry Permann
Do you want to lose belly fat over age 40? You'll frequently get the advice to do crunches and other exercises targeting the abdominal muscles. At first sight, that's logical. You're working out a body part, so the fat on this body part is getting less. But the way we are burning fat does not work like that. It is not possible to burn fat in just one part of your body. Where you will acquire weight and where you lose it depends on your constitution, it s in the genes. And: Over 40 this genetic program is getting more prevalent. "I want to lose belly fat" is something I hear very often- but, unfortunately, it is not possible to lose fat on a body part. But we can attain something much better: We can get an overall slim body. If you want to make the muscles around your midsection stronger, then crunches are a wonderful way to do it. If you want to shape your physique, exercises like the reverse bicycle really serve to tone your body. I recommend to do some exercises for the lower back muscles too, to make the whole midsection strong. This will help your posture too and keep back pain away. The latter is very frequent for people over 40; we sit more as we should. Crunches are- comparably- a waste of time when it comes to losing weight. The belly muscles are relatively small, so if you spend 15 minutes on crunches you burn much fewer calories as if you'd spend 15 minutes working at your leg muscles. Your leg muscles are much bigger and will burn more calories in the same time. So: Don't do crunches to lose belly fat over 40, do crunches to tone up your core.
