How To Increase Metabolism

One of the burning questions in the fitness industry today is the idea of burning fat and increasing your metabolism. The best ways to boost your metabolism is quite hard. This is because losing fat is seen as a task that is notoriously hard for the majority of the population.  Having a fast metabolism can offer a lot of benefits. Benefits such as being able to maintain a less than perfect diet but also having a great physique is one. We have all see it with people we know. I'm sure you have seen people that have poor diets all year round but manage to have a physique that is quite formidable. This is a common feature of ectomorph physiques.

Science Behind Increasing Metabolism

There are 3 somatypes. Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. Ectomorphs are born with slim frames, Mesomorphs with muscular frames and Endomorphs with big frames. An ectomorph's metabolism is through the roof with means they can eat a lot of food and not put too much weight on. Conversely, they also struggle to gain muscle which is not great for body building  However they are known to have the most 'aesthetic' physiques as they can bulk and still remain relatively lean. The best way to boost your metabolism is to simply gain muscle mass and improve your lifestyle. Most people who suffer from slow metabolism have what is known as sedentary lifestyles. With this kind of lifestyle you're usually sitting down for hours during the day. This is not good for you BMR(Basal Metabolic Rate) as the body is not burning enough of the calories.

Gaining muscle mass is essential for boosting metabolism because the muscle become metabolically active whereas fat is just fat.

Lower Ab Workouts For Males

Lower ab exercises for men are one of the most talked about exercises without a doubt. Men may talk about a lot of exercises but most men want to know about lower ab workouts to finally get rid of that stubborn stomach. Normally when I did ab exercises I paid next to no attention to my abdomen. I just focused on compound exercises like squats and dead-lifts. This worked, to an extent but there is a lot more work that needs to be put in to achieve shredded abs.

Disregarding abs turned out to be a horrible decision as my core looked underdeveloped compared to other areas. Without strong lower abs your physique can look mediocre. If you had to exercise one part of your ab muscles, I would definitely recommend working out lower abs. The main reason is because you will stand out against the majority of dudes that don't work out abs properly.

The Fundamentals of Lower Ab Workouts

I will showcase two great lower ab workout exercises later but firstly you need to know the basics around building strong lower abs.

Let's take this back to basic science. Men and women are predetermined to hold onto fat in different respective places. Women's fat is mostly stored around the lower body area whereas men hold fat around the midsection. This is why lower abs are seen as one of the weakest areas of the male physique and it's also why it's so talked about. Men store most of the fat there so don't be surprised if you're struggling to lose weight in that area as well.

Top Lower Ab Workouts For Males

The greatest abdominal exercises for males are the ones that really target your lower abdominals. 

Roman Chair Lower Ab Exercise
If you want to really shred your lower abs, this is a great exercise. You should be KILLING your abs each time you do it. If you are still able to bend down to pick things up you really didn't work them out hard enough. The emphasis here is on pain. One great thing about lower ab exercises is that it works your core perfectly. A great core will enable you to perform many of the compound exercises much better. For example I'm able to perform squats to a much higher degree. I'm making gains each week now.

Lying Leg Raises This is one exercise that most people will have done during their time at the gym without a doubt.  The best thing about the raises are that you can do a high amount of reps.
