Workouts For Your Abs

In the past few weeks we’ve written about what you have to do to get abs, what food you have to eat and what exercises you need to perform. Now we need to put the exercises together to create workouts for your abs. Grouped into levels we have a workout for beginners, intermediates and the hard core. 

Try one of these programmes over the next 12 weeks. Add variety to your training by changing the exercise you choose every week. Ab seekers should exercise in the morning before you eat. The reason is that the body has been fasting all those hours while asleep so if you try it in the morning then you will burn more fat than if you exercised exactly the same routine but at night. There will be no energy stores in your body becasue no food has been consumed, which means there are no carbohydrates to be burned off. When this is the situation the body starts to use the fat stores, that it has gathered over the years, to give it enough energy to exercise.

Your aim to get great abs can be acheived here if you stick to your routine but there are a couple of other things to note. You need to get your body fat levels down to 5 – 10% so over this training period eat around 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% fats. Eat regular smaller meals such as 6 compared to the usual 3 meals a day. This will speed up your metabolism and in turn burn more fat. Make sure you don’t starve yourself because that can backfire a few days later when you chuck in the towel from the frustration of being hungry. Good luck.
