It is possible to lose fat and build muscle by doing strength
training exercises and aerobics together. In a single workout, you can combine
both using Kettlebells. A great way to start is simply to go out and buy
kettlebells, watch a few videos on how to use them the right way before you try
them yourself. You can learn how to do the workout safely if you go to a
fitness center that has a class on using them. You basically want to start off
with very light weights, and then move up when doing kettlebells workouts.
No matter what you're trying to accomplish with your abs, you won't get there any faster by overdoing it. This is actually one of the few parts of the body that this is true for, as many people get carried away with abdominal exercises. Any muscle group can be overtrained, and doing this with abdominal exercises such as crunches is all too common. If you want to get the best results for your abs (and whole body), do a good selection of exercises for both lower and upper body muscle groups. If losing weight is a goal for you, you also have to do a well rounded routine that includes aerobic exercises. It's all a question of balance, and abs should just be one part of your overall fitness regimen.
The plank is one of the basic exercises that you should be doing for your abs workout. By doing this exercise regularly, you'll be making your entire core area stronger. Keep your hands and arms on the floor or mat in the start-off position, with your face down. Keeping your elbows and toes on the floor, raise the rest of your body off the ground in a smooth motion. Try to stay relaxed as you hold the position for 10, 30 or even 60 seconds before coming down. As with any exercise, it doesn't matter where you start, but if you practice you'll be able to hold the position longer. As you focus on your abs workouts, try not to get confused by all the different exercises and machines you can choose from. When you follow your abs workout, make sure you also do aerobic exercises and don't neglect your other muscle groups either. You only need a few basic tools for working your abs, and these may include an exercise mat, an
exercise ball and maybe one or two abs machines like the Captain's Chair.
