You've heard the phrase "work smart, not hard" before. Well let's apply that type of thinking to the subject of weight loss. The first thing that you must know is that you can't actually reduce the fat on your belly any more than you can reduce the fat on your arm.
The reason people spend so much time doing sit ups to reduce fat is because they mistakenly think that because they do curls and get big biceps they can do sit ups and reduce fat. This is not the case. Those exercises build muscle but don't do very much to burn fat. There are exercises, however, that are outstanding at burning fat. This is for two reasons. They build muscle and they more muscle you carry the harder your body has to work and, consequently, the more fat you burn. These exercises also exert so much force on your body that it actually goes into a metabolic shock for a few days after the exercise. So you are still burning more calories than you would have...even in your sleep!
So what are these magical exercises? Well, they fall under the category of compound exercises because they work multiple muscle groups at the same time. So, drum roll please, here are just a few compound exercises that will allow you to burn more calories and lose fat even in your sleep.
1. Dead lift
2. Bench press
3. Clean and jerk
4. Military press
5. Dumb bell snatches
6. Squats
