Did you know that the best ab equipment for abdominal exercises is your own body? It's hard to believe over all the 4 easy payments of $59.99 hype you hear on ab gadget infomercials but it's true. The main reason for this is that most ab gadgets only work the abs in isolation and with repetitive supported motion which is NOT how the abs function. A majority of the ab gadgets on the market work your abs by contracting and either, flexing forward, extending backward, or bending laterally.

Your body on the other hand, is capable of hundreds of dynamic movement patterns that challenge your abs from many angles and that also target the deepest layer of abdominal muscle which is actually not designed to flex, bend, or extend. Your deep abdominal muscle known as the transversus abdominis (TVA for short) is the most important of all the ab muscles because it functions to stabilize the body during most movement. Lack of stability in the TVA is often the cause of back pain, injuries, and the infamous "lower ab pooch" that most women and some men struggle to lose. The truth is that most ab gadgets are overpriced pieces of junk that distract you from doing what it really takes to lose belly fat and get hot abs. The formula for a fat free flat stomach is actually much easier than you think. It's a simple 3 step process:

1. Eat adequate quantities of lean body foods that turn up the fat burn. When you stop kidding yourself about how much and how healthy you eat the results will blow you away!

2. Burn tons of fat and calories with total body workouts that also challenge the abs. Losing stomach fat is a product of burning fat and calories and not of working the abs. But if that's not enough to stop you from crunching away keep in mind that over-training any muscles makes it grow so if you over-train your abs but fail to lose fat your stomach will look bigger.

3. Work the TVA with the best ab exercises that also burn tons of fat and calories. Exercises like planks, mountain climbers, deck squats, stability ball or suspended moves target your TVA like crazy and burn tons of fat too.

If you're still not convinced this works here's something interesting to think about, most ab equipment gurus recommend doing all the above if you want to actually get results from their products. It's in the fine print right next to the results not typical disclaimer. In other words you can lose stomach fat and flatten your abs simply by following the 3 steps above no equipment required. If you do feel that you need some type of ab device to improve your abs then make sure to get the Best Ab Workouts Gear like a stability ball, gliding discs, medicine ball, kettlebell, or suspension trainer and don't forget a good set of full body workouts that work to burn all that stored fat.
