3 Ways to Waste Your Money on Ab Exercise Equipment

By: Alexa Bjorkin Your dreams of having those beautiful six pack abs is very reachable once you figure out what has the best impact on your body.

With all those ab gadgets and exercise miracle machines it's hard to really determine which ones are really going to give you the results you want and which ones will waste your precious time and money.

That's why I'm here to tell you 3 ways you can lose a ton of money on purchases of ab exercise equipment in hopes that you won't do it.

1. Buying one of those ab gadgets from a late night tv program rather than getting a stability exercise ball.

What the ab gadgets DON'T do:

- work your entire core (no matter what they say)

-burn belly fat

- work anymore muscles than a standard crunch (that doesn't cost a penny)

What the stability ball DOES do:

- forces you to tighten your entire core to balance during workouts

-it's very versatile and can be used in a variety of exercises to get rid of belly fat

-works all of your core muscles at once (from your abs to your back)- far more than you can reach doing a basic crunch

2. Not using the equipment you buy (or not using it enough).

Ok, I know that sounds pretty obvious but I've known people to do this and the ab machines just end up sitting in an extra room collecting dust. Maybe it's not what they had expected, maybe the return process is a hassle, maybe they didn't have the time they thought they'd have to use it; either way, it becomes clutter.

Yet on the other side, I know of people who try out an ab machine, stick to it for a while, and eventually lose interest because the results they were expecting aren't showing at that point. In other words, they don't have the results of the trained fitness model they saw on tv. (Here's something to question, do you actually believe those professional fitness models have the bodies they do from soley using that ab gadget on tv?)

3. Not eating enough of the proper foods.

My motto is DIET IS KING as far as fat loss and getting six pack abs is concerned. It is an element that is very much responsible for the amount of belly fat you have hiding (or not hiding) your abs.

If you are eating fast food or processed foods, it won't matter that you spend hours at the gym a week exercising because an unhealthy diet will not produce the result of lean, six pack abs. Honestly, you'll be wasting a lot of time just burning off the junk food and not much more. You don't want to be stuck in that unfulfilling cycle.

On the other extreme, if you're not eating enough (because of a "low" whatever diet you're on or you've decided to starve yourself to lose fat) then I really need to tell you that you're doing a lot of harm to your body.

When you don't eat enough food, you don't feed your muscles enough to maintain themselves. What ends up happening is you start to lose all that muscle you built. Your muscles are there to convert body fat to energy. However, if you don't feed them well enough, your body will use them for energy instead.

So in reality, it won't matter how hard you work out on an exercise ball or any piece of equipment because your body will use your muscle for energy, not for burning fat.

If you want to waste time and money on dead-end routines that won't help you lose belly fat, then buy all the ab gimmicks you want.
However, I know because you're reading this, that is not you. So please don't fall for these traps when purchasing ab exercise equipment.
