Thursday, May 29th, 2008As a strength Coach I am ask many questions through out the day pertaining to fitness. One of the most common things I hear is, “I do a million sit-ups or crunches and my stomach still is not flat;” or “why don’t I have ripped abs?”
Fitness Truths:
For those individuals that truly do those “million” sit-ups or crunches, I applauded your efforts because that is something to admire; but in terms of getting that ripped midsection or that bikini body it will not guarantee that. As we now crunches will not flatten you abs, the crunches will tighten them however. The problem is if you have fat underneath or above the muscle, the muscle will act like a weight belt and pull the contents inward. The result is that your waistline might get a bit smaller but you still have not removed the fat underneath and above the muscle. So in order to get those “ripped abs” a work out program consisting of interval training, overall strength training, a variety of ab exercises and eating a clean diet, would be the start to this most desirable physical attribute,
WASH BOARD ABS.
