Most athletes and bodybuilders are in a constant struggle with their abs trying to expose them to the world but always seem to fail. Below are a few tips to help you win this battle.
1. Cardio
Like it or not you can do all the weight training you want with your abs, but this is not going to be enough. You need to up your cardio levels so you start burning fat which in turn will let your abs be more visible. So first tip is to do some cardio like running on the stair master or cycling on the stationary bike.
2. Diet
Their is a famous saying…Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. Without the proper diet you can kiss your chances of good abs good bye. You really do need to keep your carbs low at night, protein high, and sodium low. The basics of a diet should be enough to drop the belly fat and expose the abs.
3. Weighted Abs
Would you do 4 sets of bench press at 50 reps each with just the bar? Not to many people would why should you do the same with abs? Add some weight to your exercises to actually build more muscles around the abs. This is already assuming you are on the right diet and cardio levels, but doing abs with weights is a great way to develop the actual abdominal muscles and make them larger and more defined.
4. Water
When you think you have drank enough, you haven’t even gotten started. The pros drink more then a gallon of water a day so try and drink as much water as you possibly can. Make it part of your day, this flushes out fat and unwanted toxins from your body.
5. Flexing
When not in the gym, while driving your car, showering, or whatever you do keep your abs tight and flexed. Don’t ever let your stomach hang. Always keep the abs tight and sucked in, this in itself will train your abs to become tighter and can give visibly better results.
By following these helpful tips you will not only have killer abs but everyone around you will notice them too.
