You don’t wanna know…
If I had a dollar for every client wanting to do the ‘abs workout that gets rid of belly fat’ I could do my job for free. My clients refer to the rippling 6-pack (or 8-pack if you are ambitious) you see on the front of ‘Health’ magazines and in movies. Those lean toned tummies are often accentuated with an aesthetic strategy of dehydration prior to the photo shoot (don’t try it at home). A toned middle section doesn’t exist in isolation. Muscle is what sits under fat and you need to balance diet and exercise to achieve such idealised physiques. Or maybe there is a better way?
The saying “abs are made in the kitchen” also applies to the bottle shop.
Core strength is vital to balance, back strength, mobility and should be a part of your fitness routine. A ripped ab workout refers to an aesthetic ideal which requires low body fat, rigorous exercise and if you are lucky, helpful genetics.
