A Much Faster Way To Get Female Abs…

Click here for a free video on a simple way to eat for sexy female abs…

Recently, I was talking with a good friend of mine,Tara, who was planning a trip to Hawaii. Her trip was in a couple months and she was completely stressed because she did not know how to improve her female abs before the trip.

You see, two years ago she had a child and was struggling to get rid of what she called her “muffin-top, mommy pooch”. A layer of stubborn belly fat that spilled out over the top of her jeans.

The biggest problem was that she was a VERY busy career mom with very little time for herself; and didn’t have time for complicated diet and exercise programs. Are you beginning to see her dilemma?

If you’re like many women, you’re juggling being a mom, a wife, having a career, being a daughter and/or maybe a sister. And you’re being pulled from multiple directions. So at the end of the day, how much time do you have left to really take care of yourself?

In the next 2 minutes, you’ll learn the 5 tricks I showed my friend to get great female abs that fits into the busiest lifestyles:

 

Tip#1: Be Determined to Take Time to Work on Your Female Abs

Now, I want you to think about the above sentence over and over. Just imagine for a moment giving yourself 15-30 solid minutes towards taking care of yourself and your flat tummy goal.

As we began talking about how Tara might reach her female abs goal in two months, I realized that carving out the few minutes it takes was her biggest challenge. With all her commitments, she’d forgotten her commitment to HERSELF.

Can you see yourself in Tara?

Now, as you continue to read my words, make a commitment to yourself that you are important enough to have time for just YOU- and not feel guilty about it. In fact, you probably already know that when you’re happy and taken care of, everyone else is happy.

Obviously, this can be easier said than done.

Here’s a secret: make time for yourself at the very start of the day. I’ve seen this very effective trick work over and over again. Using this secret guarantees that you’ll carve out the time to work on your female abs.

 

Tip#2: Reduce Your Stress

Okay, you’re probably wondering, “what do I do with the time I just committed to?” Relax!

Scientific fact: Too much stress leads to an overproduction of the hormone cortisol. Too much excess cortisol directly leads to excess belly fat.

What this all means is that your stress is making your stomach collect more belly fat. Not Good!

The two very effective ways to fight this are meditation and…get ready for it: dark chocolate!

Meditation is a proven stress-buster and according to the Journal of Proteome Research, dark chocolate contains antioxidants that reduce the “stress hormone”, cortisol.

See, this female abs thing doesn’t have to be all work and no play :)

The trick is to choose organic, dark chocolate made from 70, 80 or even 90% cacao (means fewer “bad ingredients”, like refined sugar) and limit your serving size to only 1 to 1-1/2 ounces. Too much of a good thing is still bad….

 

Tip#3: Make Simple But Effective Changes to What and How You Eat

Okay, let me confess something: this isn’t just about making time to relax and eat chocolate! You already know that it takes changing what and how you eat.

Stop! No dramatic diets please. Many studies have already proven that hardcore diets just do not work long-term. In fact, for most people, dieting actually makes pack on more fat in the long run.

I don’t want this to be you. See yourself mastering these 3 proven eating strategies for female abs:

  • Eat 6 or smaller meals rather than 1-3 big meals to increase your metabolism and make fat-burning automatic
  • Drink lots and lots of water
  • Eat real foods that are unprocessed- e.g. oatmeal, fruits vegetables, lean meats and fish (just doing this will make a huge difference on your waist!)
  • Eat consciously. When you eat, do nothing else. Stop eating when you no longer feel hungry.

Because, my friend Tara was so busy, I give her a copy of The Diet Solution Program. It came with a “Quick Start Guide” that allowed her to start getting results right away with a proven fat-burning eating strategy.

At first she was resistant because of the word “diet” in the name but I assured her that I hate “diets” too. The Diet Solution Program is not the name I would’ve chosen but the program is great! And Tara loves it because she loves food as much as I do and wanted a program that wasn’t frustratingly restrictive.

If you’re really committed to getting sexy, female abs and are anything like my friend Tara, you’ll get really excited once you see this free video…

Tip#4: The Real Secret to Long-Term Fat-Burning

Any expert will agree that while a good eating strategy is important, some kind of effective fat-burning is essential. It takes both a good eating strategy and training if you want great female abs.

But before you hop on that treadmill, know this: cardio is not the best way to burn fat!

You’ll be surprised to discover that muscle-building is actually better at burning fat which means you’ll see a nice, lean midsection faster!

“But I don’t want to look like a bodybuilder!” is what my friend said when I first suggested that she add muscle-building to her game plan.

Fortunately, women really don’t usually have to worry about over-building their muscles. Unless you do extreme bodybuilding, or take professional bulking supplements or steroids, you will never get the “Mr. Universe” type physique.

Certain areas of the body are more resistant to definition than others. Studies on exercise results between men and women show that men and women metabolize differently. While doctors are not completely sure why this happens, they suspect that the difference is hormonal.

According to fitness and nutrition expert, Mike Geary from the Truth About Six Pack Abs, the biggest mistake women make when trying to get female abs is only focusing on diet and cardio. The right kind of muscle-building actually gives far better results than cardio, long-term!

To prove this to Tara, I let her borrow my copy of Truth About Six Pack Abs where Mike give you a detailed, holistic plan to get nice abs for both women and men.

 

Tip#5: Build Your Abs!

After you have cleared away the fat, you still have to build your abdominal muscles to get that sexy, toned abs look. This takes time and training. No supplement and no miracle exercise program can do what consistency will produce.

Many people find that exercises like sit-ups create more back strain than results. The ideal ab exercises isolate the entire abdominal region, without putting unnecessary strain on your back.

Using a machine can speed up the effect, combined with floor exercises, like the bicycle and double crunch.

It takes time and effort to get those female abs to come out, but diet, exercise and persistence are the key factors.

Make sure you keep up the full-body, muscle-toning workout so that you get that overall toned appearance, while you build those beautiful female abs.

How to Get a Flat Stomach – Men Only

Have you been dreaming about being one of those flat stomach men, but nothing you’ve tried has worked? Still fighting the battle of the bulge?

Many men are in the same boat. So here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about men and midsections.

  1. Should you do tons of crunches to reduce your stomach bulge?
  2. How do you reduce belly fat?
  3. What are good stomach exercises?
  4. What’s wrong with sit-ups?

Tons of Crunches?

Doing tons of crunches won’t banish a bit of belly fat. Not even a little bit. This theory, called spot reduction, is popular in the fitness community (and most of the infomercial gimmicks), but has now been scientifically disproven. New research shows that fat is lost all over your body, and sadly, you can’t pick where it comes from.

“So, How Do I Reduce My Belly Fat?”

Studies have shown that there are two ways to reduce fat, and you have to use them both at the same time:

  • Have smart eating strategy
  • Have an effective exercise plan that includes abs-building and fat-burning

The Flat-Stomach Eating Strategy

Experts do not agree on what the perfect diet is to be flat stomach men. But most agree that diets that are low in saturated fats and “white carbs” (e.g. white sugar, white flour, white, rice, etc), and high in low-glycemic carbs( e.g. whole fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, etc) and high in lean-proteins are best for ridding yourself of unwanted blubber.

But, you don’t need to torture yourself while dieting. Have fun and experiment. Use your diet as an excuse to try something new – maybe Japanese or vegetarian cuisine. Who knows? You may find out that you like your new diet better than your old one.

If you’re seriously wanting to flatten your stomach and keep it that way, click here to start an eating strategy that actually works and is based on eating real foods that taste good. By the time you watch the video on the “4 foods to NEVER eat“, I think you’ll agree that this eating strategy can actually help you meet your flat-stomach goals fast!

Burn! Burn! Burn

You probably already know that exercise is a somewhat controversial topic. No matter who you ask, you’ll get a different answer. It is, however, generally agreed that regular fat-burning workouts – 3 or 4 times per week – are what you need to burn the fat you have and kick start your metabolism to have a flat stomach, as a man.

Good fat-burning workouts for flat stomach men include:

Make sure to stretch first, to avoid risk of injury.

Flat-Stomach Exercises

After you’ve got a healthy diet and regular fat-burning workouts under your belt, the way to tighten your stomach is by targeted midsection exercises.

A good rule is that any exercise that bends your spine in the lower back region is good. When performing stomach exercises, try to maintain the natural arch of your back. This will make your exercises more effective and reduce back strain.

Sit-ups?

For years, you probably have been told that sit-ups are the best way to flatten your stomach and strengthen your abs. New research has proven that this is not true. Sit-ups not only don’t work well for flat-stomach men, but they can also be dangerous.

Because sit-ups only involve, well, sitting up, they don’t work your abdominal muscles- they work your thighs and back. They give you less bang for your buck, and can cause lower back pain down the road.

Most experts now recommend that you should avoid sit-ups entirely. Do crunches instead. But not just the traditional crunches. Also, try abs exercise like double crunches.

Double crunches are like crunches, except you move you knees towards your head while you’re moving your head towards you knees. This doubles the effectiveness.

Now that you know the answers, you can begin your stomach training on the right track. And if you want to flatten your stomach at warp-speed, check out www.BurnFatFitness.com (don’t go unless you’re serious, though). In a free video, fitness expert Tom Venuto shows you have to transform your body in 49 days by properly combining an eating, exercising and fat-burning program.

Last thing: Remember, with work and patience, you too can be one of the flat-stomach men. Stick with it!!

2 Key Points to a Successful At Home Abs Workout

Did you know that an at home abs workoutis just as effective as exercising at the gym? Forget about throwing on your signature gym clothes and driving through traffic. You can get a pretty decent six pack abs workout without even leaving your house.

Think about it. Sure, you can sign up for gym membership or spend a wad of cash on the coolest exercise equipment. But even those things can’t guarantee you ripped abs.

You need to possess two important things before you even think about spending on anything else.

1. Knowledge. Information on abdominal muscles training is virtually ALL AROUND YOU. Make time and start researching on how you can successfully carry out an at home abs workout without having to spend a dime. Continuous learning will only get you to your goal faster.

2. Dedication. This would most certainly have to come from you. You must stick to your six pack abs workout and follow through to the end. Without dedication, you might as well say goodbye to those rock solid abs.

To get you started, assign an exercise area in your living room, bedroom, or basement. This will greatly help you in maintaining your workout routine. Every time you enter that space, you will feel instantly motivated.

The only two things that I consider as good investments for an at home abs workout are the yoga mat and exercise ball. They are hardly expensive and you can use them for other kinds of muscle-targeting exercises as well.

You can start off your routine by working out every other day, doing at least 3 abdominal exercises. It’s important that you do not strain your muscles, so having a whole day’s rest in between would do you a lot of good.

Begin your six pack abs workout with these three simple exercises:

  • Bicycles. For this exercise, you need to lie flat on your yoga mat. Place your hands next to your head with palms facing upward. Alternately bend your knees and begin a cycling motion. While doing so, try to touch your right elbow to your left knee as it comes up, then again with the other side.
  • Ball Crunches. To continue with your at home abs workout, take your exercise ball and sit on it. Slowly lean back and allow the ball to roll under you. Stop when the arch of your back is resting comfortably on the ball. With both feet flat on the floor, perform regular crunches. Always remember to keep those abdominal muscles tight.
  • Full Body Crunches. With this exercise, I’ll need you to lie back down on the floor. Place your hands over your chest and bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the ground. Lift your shoulders off the floor a few inches as you pull in your knees at the same time. Hold it right there for as long as you can and then slowly go back to your original position.

Remember to start slow and finish hard. I know you’re EAGER to get those six pack abs. But gradually increasing your reps as well as the intensity of each exercise is the best and SAFEST way to carry out your at home abs workout.

How Do I Build My Abdominals?

You’re probably thinking, “How do I build my abdominals?”

I think it’s great that you’re asking yourself this. It only means that you’re ready for a cool change. It also means you are aware that having an unfit body and living an unhealthy lifestyle aren’t acceptable anymore.

Don’t be discouraged even before you’ve begun though. Getting your abs in shape isn’t as hard as you think. Once you have the essentials down, everything will just start to fall into place.

How does one get six pack abs? I feel that the most obvious question is, “Where does one START?”

When I decided to build my abdominals, I didn’t know where to begin either. I struggled for days, weeks even, thinking about the best thing to do first. Looking back, it would’ve been a whole lot easier for me had I followed these 3 easy steps:

  1. Re-evaluate your eating habits;
  2. Burn excess body fat; and
  3. Follow an abdominal muscles program.

Diet

The first thing you need to do is to look at your diet. Check the contents of your fridge, think back on what you usually order when you eat out, and review your grocery lists. These are a few things you can do to implement this step.

Altering my nutritional regimen definitely helped me kick off my objective to build my abdominals. Your diet can have a huge impact on your body’s performance and appearance. By cutting down on bad fats, starchy foods, and sweets, you’re actually paving the way for your body to get in gear.

Word of advice: before spending a ridiculous amount of money on complicated training machines and too-good-to-be-true diet pills, work on your diet. You’ll be surprised how much time and money you can save just by doing that.

Burn Fat

The second step requires you to burn excess body fat. Excess – the term itself says it all. When you have more fat than your body needs, it only makes it more difficult to tone your muscles, especially your midsection.

For me to build my abdominals, I had to perform full body workouts. Exercises that involve all muscle groups help burn more fat. Not only that, but they improve your general fitness as well.

High-intensity full body aerobic exercises will give you the best fat burning results during and AFTER your workout. As you form this healthy habit, your body will respond positively and can only continue to burn fat long after you’ve exercised.

Abdominal Muscles Training

Combined with full body workouts, regular implementation of an abdominal training program will definitely get your ab muscles toned and buffed in no time. This was the third step I took to build my abdominals.

High-resistance ab exercises such as weighted sit ups and hanging leg raises build muscles fast and safe. After doing regular crunches and sit ups, it would be best if you tried exercises that will challenge you more. Remember, the higher the resistance, the faster you’re going to get ripped abs.

Following these 3 steps made it easier for me to build my abdominals, and it will do the same for you. So, start eating healthy, perform full body workouts, and hike up the resistance for your ab program today.

Why Female Abs Take Longer

While most of us want to see the results of our efforts in the mirror, we are not professional body builders. Looking like a professional body builder is usually more results than desired.

Women really don’t usually have to worry about over building. Unless you do extreme bodybuilding, or take professional bulking supplements, you will never get the “Mr. Universe” type physique.

Certain areas of the body are more resistant to definition than others. Studies on exercise results between men and women show that men and women metabolize differently. While doctors are not completely sure why this happens, they suspect that the difference is hormonal.

The wall of the abdomen in females of normal weight is still naturally covered with a layer of fat. When you burn fat in the body, you lose weight, but you do not necessarily gain mass. Because the body does not convert free fatty acids into muscle, fat enters the bloodstream and diminishes over time. If you are older and menopausal, this can translate into changes in the heart and blood pressure.

While moderate exercise is great for everyone, intensive isolations, such as female ab development, should be approached along with another, more general, program of exercise to gradually build stamina and cardiovascular health.

On the other hand, while female abs are harder to define, men are more prone to hernias in that body region.

The greatest obstruction to defining female abs is finding them. In order to see them, you have to lose the body fat. This means major changes in diet to trim those stubborn pounds in the midsection area, and consistent reduction of fat intake to keep those toned abs exposed. Sugar, sweets, fried foods, and junk food snacks all have to go.

After you have cleaned away the fat, you still have to build a little tissue to get that sexy, toned abs look. This takes time and training. No supplement and no miracle exercise program can do what consistency will produce. You don’t have to build a lot of muscle to show off, but no muscle will give you that flat pancake look without the six pack.

A lot of traditional exercises create more back strain than results. Ideal exercises isolate the entire abdominal region, including the lower back, adding definition and increasing strength as your regimen expands. Using a machine can speed up the effect, combined with floor exercises, like the reverse crunch.

It takes time and effort to get those female abs to buff up, but diet, exercise and persistence are the key factors.

  • Diet
  • Exercise specific muscles
  • Determination

Make sure you keep up the general workout so that you get that overall toned appearance, while you build those beautiful female abs.
