But if your body fat is too high (more than 10 percent for most men), your abs will never see the light of day. So what's the key to burning the blubber covering your six-pack? "It isn't logging more hours at the gym—it's about shaking up your metabolism," says Todd Durkin, C.S.C.S., creator of the 28-Day Fat-Torch Plan and trainer to scores of pro athletes. Durkin's training plan uses a blend of traditional strength and cutting-edge explosive exercises that will chisel your core, skyrocket your metabolism, and help you build a body you'll be proud to show shirtless. |

Researchers have found that starting around age 25, most people lose about 5 to 10 pounds of muscle each decade. Trouble is, muscle is a metabolically active tissue, which means it burns energy just to maintain itself. The less muscle mass you have, the less calories you burn. The result: Over time, you can slowly pack on stubborn belly fat.
Luckily, metabolic slowdown can be prevented with the 28-Day Fat-Torch Plan. While it would take 250,000 CRUNCHES TO BURN 1 POUND OF FAT, Durkin's calorie-incinerating strength and power moves will build muscle and boost metabolism for as long as 39 hours after each workout. That means you'll burn fat while sitting in the car, typing at your desk, and lying in bed sleeping. |
