Hundreds of thousands of people make twists every day, hoping to lose weight or find a flat stomach. However, this exercise will not help either to get rid of excess weight, or to find a more beautiful figure, says personal trainer Nicola Addison from the UK.

"I'm sorry to destroy the hopes of so many people, but twisting does not help you to get a flat stomach," said the coach. - These exercises really help to strengthen the muscles of the press and form cubes, but you will never see them because of the layer of fat that is located on top. And twists do not contribute to the removal of this fat. In other words, you can have a perfect press after many twists, but it will be hidden by a thick layer of fat ".

What should I do to get rid of this fat? In the first place - strength exercises. Most calories are burned in the muscles, and the more you load the muscles, the more calories the body will burn, not only during training, but also throughout the day and even at night. The specialist recommends choosing exercises that affect different muscle groups and joints. The most effective way is to train the largest muscles, because they grow faster and burn more energy.

Very effective for weight loss and training press specialist considers exercises to mobilize the muscles of the back - the so-called straps. Leaning on the floor with your feet and hands (it is possible on the elbows folds), you thereby train your abdomen, strengthening its wall.

But it is worth noting that all exercises will be completely useless if your diet contains a lot of flour products, carbohydrates and "empty calories". Even if you train every day, absorbing pies, pizzas, hot dogs and chips will negate any effort. Therefore, experts recommend reducing the amount of sugar and carbohydrates in the diet, increasing the dose of proteins and moving more often.
