Nic’s Take:
How Do I Get Rid Of My GUT?
Stomach. Mid-section. Muffin top. Innertube. Potbelly. Spare tire. Beer gut. Whatever you want to call it, it ranks high among topics of discussion; “How do I get rid of it?”, is by far, the most asked question of my day.
The stomach, or abdominals, have three layers that run down the middle and on both sides of your torso. To develop them, any activity that requires them to become engaged will help strengthen them. Standing and reaching to the top shelf or twisting to open your lower desk drawer is active activity for the abdominals. Don’t get me wrong, doing exercises like crunches, sit-ups or balancing activity will aid in strengthening your stomach muscles for sure. But that will not help (as much as you think) in getting rid of the fat that surrounds. Strong abs are important for stability and the burden of carrying us around. However, cardio and diet are the true heroes of losing guts.
