Abdominal strength training will definitely help you build and tone muscle, but the key to a visible abs and reducing total body fat is eating right (calorie intake) while exercising (calorie expenditure).
Calorie control determines
how much weight you can lose, but macronutrient intake can help determine the
type of weight loss - more body fat! Especially if you eat out a
lot. The Chipotle guy doesn't weigh your guac or care
how much oil he's adding to your cooked chicken, so any nutritional
accuracy goes out the window.
Cooking all of your
meals is a daunting task, and a good meal prep strategy can save
you tons of time and money while adjusting your meal
intake for results. And that's what meal prep is all about:
creating a solid plan and simply systematizing the diet.
Imagine how much less stress and peace of mind you can have when
you know there's food waiting in the fridge every day of the
week.
You can also load
traditional abdominal exercises like squats, crawls,
planks, V-ups, toe-ups, and scissor kicks. But don't just
focus on training your lower abs - try to
work your entire body and build overall strength - you'll
burn more calories and get better results during your workout.
