I’m not sure why but there’s just something exciting about showing off a nice toned body. After all you work hard at the gym for your bod.
But what if you’re at the beginning and you need some specific help? After all, there are so many myths about abs that it can be hard to really figure out what you’re supposed to be paying attention to and what you’re supposed to ignore. Just googling “abdominals” I came across About 100,000,000 results. That is alot of advice. You need sound research not myths. Here is what I have found works:
1. Diet Starts Today – No Excuses!
Diet is key for getting the physique you want. Any thing you hear that contradicts this is a big myth. If you are the queen of fast food drive throughs or you eat tons of chips, candy or soda, the truth is that you’re not going to chisel out those abs anytime soon.
You need a diet that keeps your carbohydrates low and of a certain quality. Sorry to say, the days of refined carbohydrates like cakes, cookies, pies, donuts are behind you. You need good sources of protein — eggs, beef, poultry, and fish. These sources HAVE to be organic and humanely treated.
2. Train Hard!
You can’t “spot” train and get glorious abdominals. I know I’ve said this before but I’m serious. There’s just no such thing as “spot” training. You should focus on the entire body Your body moves together as a system. You need to ensure that the system in question moves in a certain way.
To get a great body overall, you can’t go wrong with strength training. Do things like dead lifts, cleans, snatch lifts, squats (with weight) and plenty of curls and flies. 12reps of each move.
3. Rest Up!
Sleep is super important. Wearing yourself out at the gym can actually backfire on you. When you are sleep deprived, your muscles don’t grow. The body is focused on a lot of other things besides muscle growth! So you have to make sure that you get rest.
We’re talking about the basics: 8-10 good hours of sleep in a very dark room along with lots of down time. You don’t want to ruin your progress because you lack rest.
These are simple but effective tips for getting your summer body.
In Health,
