Quick Tips To Get Sexy Abs

The secret to sexy abs isn't crunches. Flexion of the spine caused by crunches isn't always a good thing. Especially if you have back issues. So I wouldn't suggest doing crunches that involve flexion. Also you can do all the crunches in the world but unless you shed that fat over your stomach you will never see your abs that are underneath. You have to lose those layers in order for you abs to show.The following tips will help you get those sexy ab's that you'v always wanted. So get Training It Right for your abs!

One of the first things that people don't realize that leads to a sexy stomach and abs is your diet. Your diet directly affects your body's ability to burn fat efficiently. To clean up your diet to help remove abdominal fat make sure to drink 2-3L of water a day, eat smaller more frequent meals and snacks. I suggest 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day. No more than 2-3hrs spread apart. Eat lean protein, and healthy fats. Avocado is a great healthy fat and fish high in Omegas help you get that as well as protein. A good amount of protein to aim for is 0.8g per pound of body weight. Stay away fro high salted foods, fried foods and processed sugars and sweets.

The second thing is to stay away from long steady cardio. It's ok to sometimes mix it up but try and stick to interval training that is to say HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training. Why it works? It helps your bloodstream uptake fat out of stage where it can be used for energy. Make sure to alternate the high intensity with lower intensity so you can survive the workout. For example walk for a minute at an incline of 3 and speed of 3, then pick it up to run at speed of 7 and repeat for 20-40 minutes. I suggest to start with 20 and work your way up to the 40 or more.

The third thing would be to still work on your core without the crunches by using planks. There are so many types of planks. Make sure to mix it up. Front planks, side planks, reverse planks, one hand planks, one leg planks, forearms on bosu, feet on boss, use a trx, use a bench etc.

Good luck and Happy Training It Right!

Hey Everyone!

The Raw Juice Guru of Toronto that you always see me posting about. I also did their three day blogger challenge a fee weeks back and absolutely loved it. Well they went above and beyond for me last week.

After hearing about my motorcycle accident (cab driver was at fault) they sent over a day of juices for me to help with my inflammation. It had been a few days since the accident when the juices arrived and I was bruised and my knee was quite swollen. After a lot of rest and cleansing my body with the day of juices I felt better. I am still not 100% and waiting to see a plastics doctor that specializes in the hand since the sutures didn't heal the wound properly.

I am so thankful for my friends and for The Raw Juice Guru going out of their way to help me out and deliver the fresh juices right to my door step.
