Reason #3:
Crunches & Sit-Ups Are a Waste of Time Because They Don’t Fight Somatopause (Actually, They Might Make Belly Fat Worse)
Your natural growth hormone decline is the reason you have stubborn fat.
And no amount of crunches or sit-ups are going to fix the hormone decline that is the root cause behind the way your body looks and feels.
Go ahead and try if you want to!
It takes 250,000 crunches to burn 1 lb of fat and if you have growth hormone decline like everyone over 40, that fat is just going to come right back on.
(NOTE: Doing this many crunches actually makes fat gain worse because of the time it will take to complete them. Longer workouts actually further decrease hormone levels and increase cortisol levels. Cortisol causes your body to store even more food as fat!)
If you want to get rid of stubborn fat so you can see your abs you need to focus on the reason you have the fat to begin with:
That reason is somatopause (growth hormone decline).
Below you can watch a video that explains how just a few, short, 15-minute workouts per week can increase your growth hormone levels and return your body and metabolism to normal.
If you’re over 40 and you want to be healthier, more fit, and less flabby, you need to make sure you’re treating the true cause of your stubborn fat, low energy levels, and decreased drive.
Watch the video below right now to learn how to take your body back from somatopause and get a 6-pack abs over age 40.
