How to Get those abs out of hiding!
Believe it or not, everybody has abs. I know what you’re thinking…there is no way you can get your abs to look like a six pack; that’s just not in your DNA, but guess what? I beg to differ! They are just hiding under a layer or two! In this short video, I share four tips on how to get those abs out of hiding. You’ll be surprised…
Tip #1 – DIET
I don’t mean the four letter word “D-I-E-T” where you measure every ounce of food that goes into your mouth. I mean it in a way where you are eating natural unprocessed real foods most of the time. By doing this, you automatically eliminate bloat, that extra layer of water AND you’re giving your body the best nutrients by eating right which ultimately leads to seeing that definition. You do need to make sure you’re eating less than your storing, meaning watch over all portions. When we eat all natural unprocessed foods, we tend to eat what our body is requiring.
Tip #2 – STAY AWAY FROM MACHINES THAT FULLY ISOLATE
Why? Because as soon as you’re working out with just equipment, you’re isolating specific muscles, and not involving your core. If you involve your core on daily basis, you will strengthen those ab muscles and they will get stronger.
Tip #3 – ALWAYS USE YOUR CORE
Pay attention to your posture and make sure you’re not arching your back. You want to keep your abs in throughout the day and make sure you’re not hunching over. Think about engaging your core and keeping everything tight. Just be aware. Plank exercises are great for your core and abs, not to mention they are very challenging just using your own body weight.
Tip #4 – UPPING YOUR INTENSITY
Even if you follow tips 1 – 3, you still have to WORK to lose the fat. When you up your intensity, it changes everything – your body goes into fat burning mode and increases your overall calorie burn. There is no magic number of repetitions, just make it challenging for you.
Again, you can’t spot reduce the fat, but you can lose overall body fat through upping the intensity, developing muscles and always engaging your core, stay away from machines that fully isolate and eating less than your storing.
