- Do not skip meals!
It is very important not to skip meals. Eat more to lose more, but eat right! The saying “abs are made in the kitchen” is so true because this is where you start. Maintaining a healthy and strict diet is very important yet very challenging. your meal plan should reflect your fitness goal.
2. Work out your whole body.
Don’t just stick to doing crunches, yes crunches are a good way to build your core but not the only way! It is known that working out your lower body burns more calories than doing crunches (Squats for example are one of the best exercices for that). It is not possible to build abs if there are no exercise variety because the body needs to burn fat overall to see the abs muscles!
3. Eat small meals.
Eating small portions will boost your metabolism hence your body will burn more fat. Instead of eating 3 meals a day opt to eating 6 small meals a day! Don’t forget to drink plenty of water too!
4. Cardiovascular exercises.
The great thing about cardiovascular exercises is that about 70% of what you burn is fat. High intensity exercises are more recommended than low intensity ones when you are targeting to burn fat, but doing low intensity training is better than doing nothing at all!
5. Don’t train abs everyday.
Training your core muscles everyday will just kill the muscle instead of helping it grow. Like our “30-Day Ab Challenge” (that is available for free by the way) we concentrate on our abs only 4 times a week (this can be lowered to 3 times a week too).
