How To Get Summer Ready Abs

Most think that to achieve a great stomach they have to do thousands upon thousands of sit ups. The truth is that is only part of the equation. Having great looking abs does take time, training hard, cardio and, of course, eating clean meals. So what I am saying is that in order get your your abs back after the holidays you need to start in the kitchen.

Since great abs start in the Kitchen, It is important to try and cut out fried foods, sugars, refined and processed foods, alcohol, and even dairy (dairy is high in fat and can cause bloating). That means you should be eating more natural foods such as, vegetables, fruits, protein (such as lean meats), lentils, brown rice, whole grain breads, nuts and drinking lots of water. Keep your meals small and remember an average serving size is about the size of your palm, not a whole plate. Also remember to drink 2-3 Litres of water a day. This will help speed up your metabolism as well and flush your body of toxins.

Another key to looking lean and showing stomach muscles is cardio, cardio, cardio! I suggest mixing up your routine and doing intervals instead of slow steady cardio. This way your body is burning more calories to adapt to the change in pace. You will achieve more results in a shorter period of time. (LESS BORING TOO). You will see a leaner stomach and make sure to do cardio 5 to 7 days on top of regular strength training to see fast results.

Here are some examples of cardio to help you get lean and burn fat to show your abdominal muscles.
