Part One
Could anything be harder than the proverbial: “Reducing your waistline and toning your abdominal region”? People spend thousands of dollars chasing the “SIX PACK”. Regular requests asking for advice and quick fixes to remedy the age-old “body fat around the waistline” and creating a “firm toned midsection” has lead to much discussion with clients about the elusive 6-pack.
The Hard AB Truth!
It doesn’t matter how many crunches you do, or what new machine you use, or what new exercise fad you’re following - If you don’t reduce your body fat you will never see strong toned abdominals.
Spot Reduction - A Big Lie!
You cannot spot reduce. You cannot just exercise one body part and expect to see a whole new look. Achieving a six pack and muscle tone in the abdominal area is a lot more involved. I can show you how to create that slim and toned waistline by following a few simple trainer tips and hints.
My In-Box Screams 6-Pack Abs Please!
Emails of desperation flood my inbox….with requests like “I just can’t lose this last two inches off my belly, isn’t there one exercise to fix this?” Or “I have my high school reunion coming up and I MUST fit into this dress, can I take Dexatrim and do crunches….will that make me lose 5 lbs around my middle within the next 6 weeks?”
Let’s get REAL - Don’t Rely On Gimmicks!
If gimmicks worked, I’d be out of a job, and I wouldn’t be getting these emails now would I? If it sounds too good to be true, then it IS too good to be true. Nothing but consistent, regular exercise and training will give you 6-pack abdominals. Stop hiding form the truth, there’s no way out of hard work. Look at a toned midsection as a reward you can show off!
Firming Your Abs vs Reducing Waistline Body Fat
Now you know the only way to trim your waistline is to reduce your body fat - you’re probably wondering….NOW what? First you need to realise that a slim waist doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a toned midsection that screams ‘washboard!’ Firming up your abdominal area also requires crunches or some kind of resistance program. Many men and women do have smaller waists or flat stomachs, but still lack the desired tone and firmness. Time to get busy with some resistance training. More on this in part 2.
