Have you ever found yourself staring at a magazine cover and wondering how the celebrity gracing the cover has such a perfect body, especially those ultra flat abs? We too can sport the perfect midriff if we follow a proper diet and exercise regime, says fitness expert and personal trainer Rob Jones.
Here are five tips to achieve the toned stomach, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
- It’s not all about sit-ups: Sit-ups and abdominal crunches work your abs but they won’t show unless you get rid of the fat surrounding them. For better defined abs, spend the majority of your workout on exercises that burn more fat.
- Be consistent: Dedicate time every day on your training and make abs an integral part of each and every workout.
- Hone your diet: You eat your way to a six pack, so watch what you munch and focus on foods and sports supplements high in protein that help muscle growth and keep body fat low.
- Vary your workouts: Vary your ab workouts daily to work the different muscles that run across that area of the body for the perfect balance.
- Core and more: Include both isometric exercises (holding exercises such as a plank or side plank) with dynamic exercises (where you contract the muscles such as an ab crunch) in every workout.
