Squats to Get Ripped Abs
28/05/09 23:20
I came across this idea that actually doing exercises like leg presses or squats can actually get rid of body fat, hopefully revealing those fantastic ripped abs you’ve spent time developing.
So how does this work?
At the front of the thighs are the huge quadriceps muscles that are literally furnaces, being able to burn calories. So exercising these muscles creates a lot of heat and they use a lot of calories to work. Anyone who has done a few sets of squats will tell you how tiring they are. In fact it is only advisable to do 3 sets of squats once a week otherwise fatigue will quickly set in.
Also, exercising these large muscle stimulates the body’s own production of natural growth hormones. This has 2 benefits: it can stimulate muscle growth which is great if you are body building; and it will also stimulate quadriceps muscle growth which will in turn lead to more calorie burning and more fat loss. Other exercises that have a similar effect are chest exercises such as bench presses. IN fact if you are bodybuilding, rather then spending lots of time exercising the very small muscle groups, a lot can be gained by just exercising the large muscles alone. It will also save you time and give you a life outside of the gym!
So if you are already exercising or just finding out how to get ripped abs then it is worthwhile considering adding in some squats or leg presses to your regime.
