Often times when setting out on a weight loss journey, people make the goal of 'having 6 pack abs'. This is certainly a great goal to have but unfortunately individuals who haven't done their research, or have been given poor information, go about achieving this goal incorrectly. Ultimately, these people end up sabotaging their results by doing too much direct abdominal work in hopes of burning off belly fat and building a 6 pack. What if I told you that the LEAST important aspect of building 6 pack abs is the actual abdominal work, and the most important factor is diet? What if I told you that doing hundreds of crunches or leg raises while you are trying to lose weight is only going to hurt your results and progress? Do I have your attention? Good!
