  • FITNESS: The best exercise to lose gut and why we do it wrong

"You can also wear 'six pack' effortlessly !" There is no better claim, or headline that gets more 'clicks', which says a lot about our naivety or our immense desire to believe in the miracles of fitness.

Is it really possible to have a good tablet without leaving your life trying? "Yes, but of pure, white or milk chocolate. Another thing is if we talk about that tablet we refer to when we talk about defined abs," jokes Rubén Gadea, CEO of Sanus Vitae and a degree in Physical Education.

Starting from the base of the gut is the point where more adipose tissue is concentrated when we gain weight, especially in the case of men, it is easy to deduce that "without effort and sacrifice it is not possible to have a toned and fat-free abdomen. At best, if you are an expert in the handling of lights and photoshop , you can get a spectacular photo to upload your ego on Instagram or in Tinder, "adds Gadea.

Here there are no shortcuts that are worthwhile and anyone who wants to strain their express method will be selling us a motorcycle: " Beware of all those self-styled gurus who promise you amazing results in a few months, without suffering and training 30 minutes a week."

The only way to lose the gut is in the hands of a professional who draws a personalized training and diet plan, with real deadlines and goals.

FALSE LEGENDS

Before getting down to work, the CEO of Sanus Vitae sheds some light on some of the urban legends that surround that six-pack operation.

Hit us big beating aerobic . "Only with cardio we will not be able to mark abs. An hour of walking , apart from mentally relaxing, will not make us lose weight.

To lose that fat capita, the most recommended are the HIIT, high intensity interval training that should be done 100% to be able to benefit from all the virtues of this type of routines.

Line with plastic. Like the sauna, training with a sweatshirt at 40 degrees and other absurd inventions are useless for anything but to lose liquid that we will recover as soon as we drink again and, worse, to dehydrate.

Crush us with abdominal series . With weight, lateral, for 'those above', for 'those below' ... No matter what we do; they, by themselves, will not work the miracle that the squares emerge.

Dream of localized fat loss . Does not exist. If we want to mark the abs, there is nothing left but to increase caloric expenditure.

FEEDING

Once the false myths are demolished, we have to go into that temple where, according to all the experts, the best abs are sculpted .

No, we are not talking about any elite gym, but about our kitchens . "That float that is so uncomfortable when the summer arrives appears, in large part, by the type of food we carry. Although it is somewhat difficult to quantify, I would dare to say 70% of what our abdomen looks like depends on the way the that we eat. Therefore, for the tablet to start appearing, it is essential to set the goal of eating fewer calories than we burn, "says Andrea Ferrandis, nutritionist and co-founder of Sanus,

His first recommendations? "In addition to seeking the advice of a professional to design a custom plan , the first thing would be to eliminate ultraprocessed products, excess sugar, gin afterwork, bravas and sugar cane on Saturday morning."

Instead, in addition to a cleaner diet, "we will introduce more physical activity, increase caloric expenditure by walking more, with strength routines and HIIT sessions."

Will we be able to show off this marked abdomen this summer? Beyond effort and perseverance a determining factor comes into play: genetics .

In any case, what we really should ask ourselves is, is that really that important? Surely not, but the attempt will have been worth it if, along the way, we have been able to adopt healthier lifestyle habits .
