Who wants sexy abs?

Leaner, sleeker, sexier, trimmer and tighter tummy are the kind of abs we want to have. And it is great news to be able to tell you that we can work toward a more amazing abs from flab to fab (fabulous!). But at the moment while you are still working on it please don’t wear jeans that are too small or too tight or it will make your belly or abs protrude.

Our goal is to slash your weight then trim your abs. How do we do that?

Makeup, accessories or any other alternative to make your abs appear lighter with a thinner look may do for a while but may not give you that good look and healthy feeling. It would be best to do a real good walk everyday to trim those fats off.

To progressively increase the training stimulus of your abdominal muscles you may want to perform abdominal curls on a decline bench rather than on a flat bench. Weightlifting exercises your muscles at greater than normal workloads. This produces microscopic tears in the muscle cells and connective tissues. Your body responds by producing new muscle proteins and cause muscle growth while increasing strength.

Please take note that there is a need to rest the exercised muscles between workouts for these changes to occur. Substantial improvements are seen to people who lift weights every other day or maybe 2 to 3 times a week. Lifting weights everyday may risk your muscles by overtraining.

A split routine may be created so you won’t be exercising the same muscle groups everyday and to avoid excessive muscle soreness and overuse injuries. You may also opt for calisthenics as a mild form to strength training. If you have a low back pain like an herniated disc injury then avoid the steps where you need to twist and bend. It may be helpful to alter training stimulus weekly or daily to be able to change combination of intensity, repetition and sets.

Designing your weight management and body composition program is never easy. The help of fitness professional is needed to give it the desired workout intensity and nutrition balance your body needs. But to start toning your body you may want to do an hour a day walking and eating lots of fruits and vegetables.
