If you want to lose belly fat and reveal your abs…
Then stick around because I’m going to give you my top 5 tips.
🚨 Spoiler alert 🚨 You CAN’T target belly fat on its own, however.
It’s all about getting leaner overall.
With that in mind, here are our top 5 tips:
1. Calorie Deficit
This has to be number 1 because it’s the only way you lose fat. You must burn more calories than you consume in a day. This all starts by figuring out your macronutrient needs.
2. Stop doing crunches
You can do sit-ups, crunches, and leg raises until you are blue in the face….
But to build the muscle tissue in your abs you have to train them like any other muscle; heavy!
Progressively add resistance, and believe me a little goes a long way.
3. Develop your core
When you hit compounds exercises your core stabilises you.
Squats, deadlifts, bent over rows, and even bench pressing all recruit core strength to keep you from collapsing and folding like an accordion.
So focus on your breath and bracing your core during these lifts.
4. Discipline
To have what others can’t have you must do what others won’t do.
Each new level of your fitness journey (and life) requires a new level of discipline.
Now I’m not saying you can’t have fun and enjoy a slice of cheesecake every so often, but if you truly want abs then things like your weekend wines with the girls have to stop.
5. Consistency
Set a goal and go after it. Be consistent in your training, your diet, your choice of foods, etc. Don’t quit until you have reached your destination.
Boring as it sounds, it’s weeks of doing the right things stacked together that yield results, not 5 days plus 2 cheat days.
Use these lessons wisely and march forth toward the promised land of abs.
