you know you go to the gym and you  watch these people doing all sorts of  

sit-ups abdominal exercises week after week  

and no change in their midsection today i want to  talk about why abdominal exercises will not work  

in reducing your belly fat now this study that  i just read which i’m going to put a link down  

below showed that abdominal exercises produced no  significant effect on weight body fat percentage  

abdominal circumference abdominal skin fold or  abdominal subcutaneous fat loss subcutaneous fat  

is the superficial fat right underneath your  skin but on a positive note what it did do  

is increase the person’s overall endurance so they  can do these exercises longer okay that’s cool  

but what about your belly well there are three  things going on you have this superficial  

fat underneath your skin that’s the subcutaneous  fat and then you have the fat that’s on your liver  

the first thing that happens is the liver fills up  with fat and then it spills over fat in and around  

the organs in the abdomen and so all three  situations subcutaneous visceral fat and liver  

fat come from the same thing too much insulin  and that occurs because the person’s consuming  

too many carbs so the question is does abdominal  exercises reduce insulin and the answer is no  

it doesn’t and this is why people are not getting  results and so if you’re new to my channel and you  

haven’t watched a lot of videos there’s several  things that you can do to create a huge change  

in your midsection in fact eighty percent of your  results in changing the shape of your stomach and  

shrinking it has to do with not exercise but  your diet you simply need to reduce your carbs  

get unhealthy keto i put a link down below of  how to do that and you definitely need to start  

doing intermittent fasting okay the combination of  those two will produce the majority of results in  

your midsection and then you can definitely  add exercise as well but not just abdominal  

exercises you would want to do high intensity  interval training and that definitely will help  

but only about 15 all right thanks for  watching and i will see you in the next video
