You can only reveal your abdominal muscles when you’re body is continuously in the fat burning zone. Because of the internet, along with some misconceptions, the fat burning zone is a dissimilar location for a number of exercise gurus and fitness fanatics.

Lets get two weight loss myths regarding where the fat burning zone is out of the way, and they are talked about below.

Myth 1. A myth that has been about for a long time now is your body begins burning fat after the first twenty minutes of a long cardio workout.

The reality is, your body is burning fat constantly to a certain level, and if you’re performing extended uninteresting cardio for an hour the initial 20 minutes will eliminate just as much fat as the last 20 given that you still have not lost any get-up-and-go at the closing stages of the session. And that won’t be a lot of fat.

Your body is burning fat as you’re reading this article, your body doesn’t just automatically start burning fat after 20 minutes of cardio. What would your body be doing for the first 20 minutes if it wasn’t burning calories of some sort.

If anything, the end of an hour of cardio would start burning muscle for energy.

Myth 2. Your body burns fat when you do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

When you first wake up in the morning the last thing your body wants is a cardio workout. Your body won’t burn any more fat in the morning than it will if you exercise in the afternoon. Once you have some carbs in your body you’ll have a much improved workout than if you attempt to exercise on an empty stomach. Carbs give you energy so your workouts will become more intense. You need to develop intensity into your workouts so your body burns fat after you’ve finished exercising.

If you want to get your body in the fat burning zone then you need to increase your muscle mass while using interval training. This will put your body in a fat burning state for 48 hours after you’ve finished exercising. If you’re body isn’t burning enough fat between your workouts then you’ll never see your abs.

Just 3 workouts a week will have your body completely transformed in 12 weeks. Some fitness fanatics do long tedious cardio sessions 6 days a week for months without seeing their stomach muscles. That’s because they’ve been listening to experts that believe in the myths above.
