How To Get Abs

How To Get Abs

▪️One of the most common questions googled on the internet is “How do I get my abs to show”?⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Participating in a 4-Week crunch challenge won’t get you the results you are looking for if you have fat around your belly hiding it.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Drinking Detox Juices won’t get you there.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Hours of cardio won’t get you there.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Fat Burning Supplements will DEFINITELY not get you there.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Avoid from focusing on the ‘quick’ fixes…
⠀⁠
▪️It’s pretty simple, actually.⁠
⠀⁠
1️⃣ Eat nutritious whole foods.⁠
⠀⁠
2️⃣ Focus on compound exercises and add HIIT cardio to keep your muscle while burning fat (and then add a few crunches/leg lifts).⁠
⠀⁠
3️⃣ Increase the intensity level as you progress in your workout routine (progressive overload).⁠
⠀⁠
4️⃣ Stay in a slight calorie deficit over a longer period of time, depending on where your fat percentage is and what your goal is.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️It’s simple, not easy. Don’t listen to people that are trying to confuse you to buy their fat loss detoxes, pills, or other scammy products.

Get Visible Abs

Get Visible Abs
⠀⁠
▪️These workouts target the Upper and Lower parts of your abdominals as well as the Obliques.⁠
⠀⁠
▪️While doing these difficulty-based workouts, you can choose either the easier option (left side) or to step it up a notch and go for the harder version (right side).⁠
⠀
-The Workout

▪️Perform these workouts in a circuit-style fashion (perform all reps for each exercise and move on to the next workout without resting. Continue as you go to the third exercise, then rest 30-60 seconds. That’s one circuit/round completed).⁠
⠀⁠
▪️Go through a total of 2-4 circuits with either the easier or harder edition.⁠
⠀⁠
-Easier Version:⁠

  1. Sit-Ups: 15-20 Reps⁠
  2. Scissors: 15-20 Reps⁠
  3. Cross Crunches: 15 Reps on each side (30 total)⁠
    ⠀⁠
    -Harder Version:⁠
  4. Long Arm Crunches: 15-20 Reps⁠
  5. Crunch Kick: 15-20 Reps⁠
  6. Sitting Punches: 30 Seconds⁠
    ⠀⁠
    ▪️Important Note: To have visible abs you have to have a lower body fat percentage (around 8-15% for men and around 14-24% for women, these can vary), and fat loss is occurs with a calorie deficit, mainly through food.⁠
    ⠀⁠
    So make sure that you eat well while performing these exercises to achieve well-defined abs.⁠

Building Strong Core Strength

🔹 A strong core can benefit you in various ways, such as preventing injuries, reducing back pain, and stimulating proper posture.

🔹 While working out on the core, people often target the rectus abdominis (the six pack) yet  leave out the internal and external obliques ( side abs), and the transverse abdominis (underneath the side ab). 

🔹 Building a strong core requires more exercises than just crunches.Not to mention, the abdominals have limited and specific movements that consist of different muscles that run through the entire length of the torso. Here are a few core workouts to add to your regimen. 

🔹 Planks are one of the best exercises for working the core and burning calories. Doing a plank hold will engage  multiple muscles at once, while benefiting the core strength of your body.

🔹 Decline crunches are great for eliminating the tendency to use momentum to complete the movement. Increase the decline angle over time in order to progressively overload.

🔹 The Russian Side Twist targets your obliques. Try adding a dumbbell or medicine ball increases to make this workout more challenging.

🔹 Hanging knee raises with a twist can help build muscular stability in the upper back and shoulders. This workout can increase both muscular size and strength.

🔹 Cable Crunches enables you to  increase resistance, allowing you to train to failure using heavier weights. 

🔹 Cable Side Bend  targets the obliques and improves stability in the lower back.
