You might be shocked when I tell you that it’s NOT traditional core exercises, like crunches, sit-ups, or planks.

In fact, you might not even believe me at first. But hear me out.

The best exercises that can be done on a daily basis to melt the belly fat and slim down your abdomen are free weight, compound exercises like barbell bench presses and barbell squats.

“What? But they don’t directly work the abs Coach.”

They don’t, but you can do crunches until you pass out and your strong, toned abs will never be seen because they’re covered by belly fat.

Ever heard someone say “you can’t target fat loss?” or “you can’t spot reduce?” What they meant is that fat loss and the revealing of the abs comes with total body fat loss rather than through targeted exercises.

Free weight, compound exercises (think Barbell Squats, Barbell Deadlifts, Power Cleans) are superior to isolations (bicep curls, donkey kickbacks) because of the overall body fat burning effect they have on the body.

Does that mean that we shouldn’t target the abs? Ofcourse not! Because as we slim down, we want to make sure we show a tight and toned waist rather than a weak and un-toned stomach.

Watch for more!
