How do I get abs? How do I get a flat belly?

There is so much informationoverload out there.

So I put together the most common questions about getting that elusive

flat stomach.

Nutrition plays a huge rolewith almost everybody thathas abs. This is because if youEAT more than you areburning in a day, you willstore fat and have a layerover those abs.

If you are an athlete, train ata super high intensity, etc. thenutrition becomes slightly lesscritical as you are burning lotsof calories and yourmetabolism works efficientlyso that you will have a flatbelly due to your hardtraining.

This is why you will see ultra fitpeople or athletes get away witheating whatever they want and stillhaving abs.

For example, I used toeat a super strict dietand would do longsessions of cardio to getthose abs to come out ofhiding. As soon as Iwent off my “dnet” theywould disappear.

It is nice to have abswithout the hours of slowcardio and watchingevery bite. The KEY is totrain at a super highintensity so that mymetabolism is always onfire.

Again, this depends.You have to get rid ofthe layer of fat foryour abs to show.

Training with INTENSITY is more efficient and changes the body much quicker. So if you are looking to make a change quickly, you need to UP THE INTENSITY.

If you are a competitive runner, triathlete, etc.,what I am saying about cardio really doesn’tapply to you.

If you want to get a flat belly in notime, focus on sprinting, plyos,competitive swimming or running, orother activities along those lines. Igive those a thumbs up!

YES. It may be harder, it may takea bit longer but YES, YOU CAN!

In case you dndn’tknow, I am amother, so I knowwhat it is like to dealwith excess babyweight and overcoming that to getabs.

The skin is not as elasticas we age andpregnancy does seemto stretch/change theskin around the mid tolower stomach.

Even if the skin nsn’t astight as it used to be, youCAN still develop thosemuscles and you CAN loseoverall body fat and thatwill drastically change theappearance of yourstomach.

*Do stretchmarks ever go away naturally?

Or does there have to be a cosmetic procedure?

Unfortunately exercising and diet will not change appearance of stretch marks.

What you can do is make sure you drink plenty of water and keep the skin moisturized from the outside as well.

Mederma ointmentcan help as well, butjust make sure youapply it severaltimes per day.

Work up to 2 minutes and thenstart progressing the exercise.

Start by lifting 1-arm at a time.

Work up to 2 minutes and thenstart progressing the exercise.

Start by lifting 1-arm at a time.

Then 1-arm and the opposite leg.

Anything to make you unstable or that

requires more balance is a GOOD

thing. If you can hold a plank for a

long time you are on the right track!

So plank away!

No, not after what Ilearned about when Iwas dealing with myback pain.

I am going to admit andshare with you that YES,two years ago, if you hadasked me how to get abs, Iwould have saidCRUNCH AWAY, as thatis what I had been doing.

Yes, I had a great “6papk” with thosecrunches but I also hada terrible time withback pain and hipproblems and I had avery dramatic anteriorpelvic tilt which wasfurther made worse bylots of „prunpoes’.

Through this experience, most of whatI had suggested in the past has nowhas changed.

*Doesn’t eating fat make you fat? Why do you suggest fat

on your programs?

Obesity rates have gone through the roof since thelow fat diet became popular for so many years.

SUGAR, PROCESSED FOODS, and ARTIFICIALFAKE FOODS are a primary cause of obesity andmany health problems.

Diets suggesting fat free eating are based onold research and it has been dis-proven.

UMMMM NO! I callBS on the ads that saytheir “magnp pnll” meltsbelly fat. Hard work,intensity, and propernutrition are the ONLY“magnp pnlls” that reallywork!

OF course. Now there is nota whole lot you can do toreverse the c-section, BUT youcan dramatically change theappearance by developingthe muscles in that area andlosing overall body fat viayour diet and training so theappearance will drasticallychange.

*What is the quickest way to lose weight and get a flat

belly?

Your abs questions answered!

The ONLY way to lose belly fat and KEEP it off is to do it the healthy way.

You have to work at it and BE CONSISTENT!

I can tell you that switching from a processedfood diet to a clean and natural one (like myjump start program) will help you feel betterand lose weight.

No diet works when you aren’t following it…thatis why a healthy lifestyle is sooooo important!

It can be overallbody fat- that needsto be gone throughintensity in trainingand diet

It could be BLOATfrom an allergen.Keep a log to see if itis more distendeddue to certain foodslike dairy or wheat.

It could be an anteriorpelvic tilt which iscommon with females.That makes it LOOKlike you have a poochbut can actually be alower back issue.

It could be extraskin... that is less likelyand usually only thecase after losing a lotof weight.

So, figure out first which oneof those things is the cause andthen address it from there.

So there you have it!

I hope this helps give you some quality information so now you can go get that flat belly that you have always wanted!
