All I want for Christmas is a set of abs😜💪🏻🎅🏻🌲
So what would be on the top of your Christmas list, when looking at sculpting a great phyisque, I'm sure that for most people a great set of defined abs springs to mind.
Below I have summarised a few tips on helping you build a great set of abs, my early Christmas present to you😉
My top tips to help you get a great set of defined abs!
💥follow a healthy balanced diet, tailored to fit your goals! , with the right amount of protein,carbs and fats for your needs!
-feel free to message me for more information on how to structure your diet to get the best results, for your fat loss goals💪🏻
💥train them heavy! In an 8-12 rep range to overload the muscle properly, if you want a thick set of abs.
💥allow time for recovery! Your abs won't grow if you train them everyday, hit them heavy and hard 2/3 sessions a week is plenty!
💥use exercises that work with the correct function of the abdominal muscles, meaning flexion of the spine
-my favourites are
-hanging leg/knee raises
-heavy weighted cable crunch
-decline sit-ups or crunches
-bench knee tucks
-decline leg raises
💥allow time to lose fat in a healthy way, 1/2 pounds a week is optimal for this, staying in a healthy calorie deficit!
💥drink plenty of water! 3/4 litres is my recommended amount, this will help to flush more water our from under your, skin making them look tighter
💥make sure that you are taking in a good amount of fibre, to aid with healthy digestion, it is also beneficial to supplement with digestive enzymes to help with digestion of food, as well as a probiotic for a healthy gut.
💥if you have any food that irritate you and cause bloating, keep a food diary, work out wich ones are causing this and alternate it for a food that you can digest much better!
Most common causes for this are
-oats
-bread
-sweet potato
And can vary between the individual!
Hope this helps😊
