Work All The Muscles In Your Body, Not Just Your Abs

I follow this lady, who is a trainer, author who always has good advice for those of us who are trying to lose body fat. 

 Doing crunches every morning and every night? When you're down to your final inches of belly fat, countless crunches won't necessarily help you reveal a six-pack. It's time to switch it up. 

"You can't spot reduce," said Jill. In other words, you can't tell your body where to lose fat—even if you exercise your abs every day, that doesn't always make them flatter. Instead, Jill suggested doing functional exercises that use the muscles of your entire core—abdominals, back, pelvic, obliques—and other body parts. 

"These exercises use more muscles, so there is a higher rate of calorie burn while you are doing them," said Jill. 

Jill noted that planks are her favorite functional exercise. They activate your core muscles and your arm, leg, and butt muscles. Add some movement to the plank with shoulder taps or leg lifts, and you up the ante even more.

Remember to feel the burn, the burn is telling you that the muscle has been torn down and needs to rebuild. The muscle will start to burn the body fat in that area. the more core muscles that have been torn down the more body fat will be burned. This is really the only way to get rid of body fat through exercise. The other way is by diet.
