Why this is the perfect time to start hitting those abs with all you’ve got
Summer is just around the corner and, if you want to look at tightening up those abs for that swimsuit or bikini, this is the perfect time to start.
There’s a famous saying that ‘abs are made in the kitchen’, which is true – if your diet is not right and you continue to overeat, and also to indulge in processed, high-sugar foods, you really will not see all that work in the gym paying off in terms of how your abs look.
I often find it much easier to improve the diet once the weather starts to pick up, with brighter days and warmer temperatures.
Steering towards eating lighter foods like salads, without all the extra, calorific dressings, will really get you noticing a big difference, and it’s much easier to eat this sort of food at this time of year.
Saying all that, you have to put the work into your fitness regime too, so, whether you are training at home or in the gym, the exercises we are featuring this week are great for really helping to engage the abs and core.
