Every time you work out, you create micro-tears in the muscle tissue and then with proper nutrition and adequate rest, you rebuild the muscle fiber even stronger and larger than before. So this is why it’s only necessary to workout the abdominals just like any other muscle, and let them build back stronger and larger. The interval training for cardio will speed up your metabolism so you will lose fat even while resting, and watching your diet by consuming less calories than your weight maintenance levels will allow you to safely lose weight gradually.
However, one thing to note is that you cannot spot reduce. There is a misconception that you can reduce fat from one area of the body only by working out that specific body part only. People think that they ONLY have to workout the abdominals in order to lose body fat from that area. Anyone who tells you this can be done, doesn’t even matter if it’s your local personal trainer, clearly doesn’t have a solid understanding of the body and its processes. The body doesn’t work as separate parts. With the body, the sum total of all the processes determines what state the body will be in. The body works in harmony with all its intricate parts, and all have their functions and roles. However, the most important thing is that the body looks at the overall picture, and works from that standpoint. Nothing is separated from one another. The body is infinitely complex and intelligent. When you cut yourself, your body produces certain clotting factors in the blood, which start to heal the wound immediately and stop the bleeding. The body works systematically to keep the body functioning optimally. The problem is that we treat our bodies like machines, like a clock. Our bodies have an inherent intelligence to them that no clock possesses. When is the last time you saw a clock fix itself when one of its parts stopped functioning? The clock stopped ticking, and stopped working completely. Only when you (an intelligent being) replaced that part with a working part, did it start working again. However, our bodies are so intelligent and complex that if something stopped functioning properly, our bodies would somehow compensate to keep our bodies going, while simultaneously trying to heal the “broken” part. It’s an automatic process unlike a machine. We created machines. We possess an inherent intelligence that no machine possesses and so it is important to realize that it is physiologically impossible to spot reduce. When you place stress on one part of the body, you are simultaneously placing stress on the whole body. Every part contains the whole! This is an amazing thing about us, and we want to get it to work to our advantage so that we can be our ideal selves and reach our ultimate goals in life.
