Everybody love Abs but ONLY FEW HAVE THEM

Often when people see someone having great abs, they ask “what do you do for these beautifully chiseled muscles, tell me what exercises you do and how many sets and reps you follow?”

In this article you will find some answers. Watch the video presented here to see how actually a person should be doing his workout and we will also discuss the type of food required, exercising techniques, and some other major points to keep the fat percentage low so those muscles, underneath your belly fat, are visible.

Let us start with “How you Should be doing your abs workout?” and “What are the other points that one should consider to have great abs”.

1. Always start with a warm up, do some warmup exercises like jogging, skipping, or cycling before you begin.
2. Never “PRE-PLAN” your reps. This might appear little awkward at first but when you understand what we are trying to explain, it will all make sense. When you think of doing 20 reps you will not be able to feel those abs because now your mind is thinking about something else. You will not squeeze your muscles or focus on inhale and exhale, you will only think about completing your 20 reps which is very bad and will make your set lesser effective. You just need to focus on the muscles. Start doing your reps with full range of motion, keep focusing on the muscle, keep your inhale and exhale under control, keep squeezing your muscles, and now when you cannot do any more reps, say to yourself “I will do 10 more” this is the time when you will make some fast moves and complete the 10 more extra reps which are going to make your set 100% effective.
3. Select exercises very smartly. In this video you should see how our athlete is putting stress on different parts of the core by selecting different exercises. In one exercise he is focusing on the obliques and in the other he has put all his mind into the lower abs, whereas in one of the exercises he is putting lot of stress on the upper abs. This method will help you target all the corners of your abs and will provide you fuller shape and balance.
4. Take enough rest between sets. If you will not take enough rest between sets you will not be able to put your 100% in the next set. One has to make sure that the rest has been taken nicely and then the next set will be done with full power force and squeeze. A tired person cannot perform in a better way. Rest between sets can be anywhere between 1 minute to 3 minutes. Longer rest will help you perform better but make sure that rest is not long.
5. Sip BCAAs Intra-Workout for better recovery. Some people do not even sip water between sets, which is not good. If you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Never miss a sip between sets. BCAAs or Branched Chained Amino Acids are good for intra-workout. They not only hydrate your body but also work as the primary recovery providers.
6. Do not over do. Some people are seen doing abs every day and for hours. It will not help you lose fat from the waist or would make any great muscles unless you follow other fitness protocols like training other body parts and following a good eating habits. Doing abs twice a week is good enough to improve those muscles but that does not mean you will lose fat from the waist or your abs would pop out of that thick fat on the waist. Lower your fat percentage and once when you have little fat, you will find your abs visible.
7. Eat well before you start your workout. The pre-workout meal is very important. You cannot miss your previous meals and expect a good workout session at the gym. If you are going to train your abs in the morning, make sure you have an apple 30 minutes before your workout.
8. Recover with the sleep. Abs are like any other muscle. They need recovery and that will happen when you eat good and sleep well.

Food for abs

1. Avoid any type of sweet or sugar made eatables
2. Start eating fruits rather than juices. Eat a different fruit every time.

6. Use a protein shake for post workout recovery.
7. Maintain gap between meals, at least 2 – 3 hours.
8. Eat green cooked vegetables 2 hours before you sleep.
9. Focus on complex carbohydrates instead of Simple Carbohydrates.
