My Ab Are Strong, But I Still Am Flabby

Ahh, a problem my grasshopper. Your first challenge is always the hardest.

I think that everybody has though that if they do a million crunches they will have a shiny six pack at some stage in their life. It is tempting because having the discipline to do a few hundred crunches a day is much easier than having to stick to a strict diet when you are at a party and you last ate 5 hours ago and the food smells so good but you know it will be so bad for you!

Having strong abs is part of the equation, but not the biggest part. The factorial in the equation is the fat that chills out around your six pack, hogging the lime light and scaring all the beach goers away from you. How to get rid of that fat ugly mate who always hangs around you and brings you down all the time. Giving him the kick is the big part.

So how do we kick this lazy sod? If you are already working out resistance training and cardio and you still have a bit of a belly, chances are you have just recently started and are on a good diet or you have been going for aaaages and you have a poor diet.

The saying that abs are made in the kitchen is not some metaphorical wives tale, it is literally true. When you workout you break down your muscle, when you feed your body you build your muscle. So it is actually true that abs are made in the kitchen! That protein shake is the construction foreman and that bottle of soda is a group of teen thugs who are throwing stones at the workers.

Until next time..

Look good, feel good and live like you mean it
