The manufacturers of Ab Circle claim their piece of exercise equipment helps flatten your stomach by decreasing body fat and toning your muscles. The manufacturer also advises you to participate in cardiovascular exercise and a healthy diet plan. The Ab Circle requires you to place your knees on a pad while holding handles in front of you. Movements you can complete on the Ab Circle include twisting your trunk side to side and flexing your hip joint, each of which recruit your abdominal and oblique muscles. The unit allows you to increase or decrease the amount of resistance your muscles must overcome. Visit your medical professional prior to starting any new exercise or diet program.
Effects
Working out with the Ab Circle develops your abdominal and oblique muscles. If the exercise is consistently completed against an appropriate resistance to overload of your muscles, you will increase your abdominal muscular strength and tone. When you overload your muscles, your body must repair and rebuild them. The result is abs and obliques that get stronger and increase in size.
Muscle Versus Fat
It's important to know that muscle tissue is completely independent of fat tissue. Most fat tissue lies on the top of your muscle tissue, though some is located under the abdominal muscles. While working out on the Ab Circle may effectively develop your muscles, strength training makes no impact on the fat located in your stomach area. Creating muscular tone in your abdominal muscles with consistent Ab Circle workouts will go unnoticed if you have an excess amount of belly fat. Create a caloric deficit to lose fat.
Losing Belly Fat
To lose fat, you must burn more calories than you consume over a period of time. Increase calories burned with consistent exercise and decrease calories consumed by making healthy eating and drinking decisions. Each 3,500 caloric deficit you create equates to about a pound of fat loss. The caloric deficit requires that your body break down stored fat to use as fuel. Where your body takes this fat from, however, depends on your genetic makeup and body type. You cannot dictate fat loss to come from your belly area.
Considerations
Improve your belly area by focusing on creating a caloric deficit with consistent cardiovascular exercise, which burns a significant number of calories. As you decrease an overall amount of body fat, you will see improvements at the belly. Supplement your cardiovascular workouts with your workouts on the Ab Circle, so that when you lose body fat, the muscle tone you've developed with the Ab Circle will be visible. Aim for a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes moderate aerobic activity like brisk walking each week. Or perform one hour and 15 minutes vigorous aerobic activity like running each week.
