Ever hear that saying abs are made in the kitchen. It is true~It least in my experience! After having my son I didn’t know what was going to happen to my body, specifically speaking here, my stomach. BUT I set a goal, I challenged myself to do the best I could with good choices, and it worked!!
All of those models or all of those body competitors that you see, and think, wow they have great abs (yes some photos are airbrushed and makeup used to create the perfect look) and for those legit abs it takes hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.
I’ve had many people ask me “what can I do to get a flat stomach?”. The key from my experience is the combination of workout and nutrition. You have to eat the right food, you have to burn calories, and you have to want it bad enough.
You can do all the crunches and ab exercises in the world and that’s great -sure- because you’ll be building those ab muscles –> BUT until you incorporate cardio and PROPER NUTRITION you won’t see the abs you’re dreaming of.
You can do is many crunches as you want but if you than sit down and eat a bag of chips and watch TV AND that’s all you do you’re not going to get the flat stomach you want! Yes -sure I’ll say it again- something is better than nothing -but you also negated it with that bag of chips.
So if you want it bad enough —> you do cardio, strength conditioning exercises, and start cutting out that bag of chips for a healthier snack. I’m not saying go cold turkey and start eating kale chips but I am saying smarter choices.
