5 Secrets For Perfect Abs
- 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).
How much weight should you lift?
Here’s a simple answer: You should always lift as much weight as you can for the number of repetitions targeted by an exercise.
However, you will be able to determine the weight you should be lifting after deciding what is your objective and what are you targeting during your workouts.
- Strength training means choosing weights that allow you to train in a rep range of 1-6.
- Building muscle means choosing weights thats allow you to train in a rep range of 8-12.
- Focusing on muscular endurance means choosing weights that allow you to train for at least 15 reps.
Note: If you are completing the last 2 reps of your set easily, you need to increase the weight you are lifting.
Always challenge yourself!
4 exercises to lose your love handles
We call them “love handles” but we all want to get rid of them!
Fat sitting on the side of our tummy is one of the hardest to lose.
Here are 4 exercises that will help you target those love handles:
1) Side Plank Crunch (3 sets of 10-12 reps on each side)
Directions: Get in the position of a side plank, pull your knee towards you chest and crunch your opposite elbow towards it.
2) Standing Obliques (3 sets of 15 reps on each side)
Directions: Stand with your legs wide apart, extend arms up straight above your head, bend over to your right foot (Try to reach as far as you can) then make your way to the left foot, then pull back up.
3) Knee Drop (3 sets of 10 reps on each side)
Directions: Lie down on your mat, legs off the floor into a tabletop position. Drop your knees to the right side keeping your abs tight and back flat. Exhale and pull to center, then inhale and drop your knees back to the opposite side.
4) Plank Up-Downs (8 reps on each side)
Directions: Get in a plank position. Starting with one arm, lower down to your mat, then follow with the next arm. Move back up, one arm at a time, to the fully extended plank.
