Celebrities always inspire the commoners with their flat, toned stomachs. One can achieve that perfect midriff if one follows the right exercise regime and diet, says an expert.
Here are five ways you can achieve a toned stomach:
It’s not all about sit-ups: Sit-ups and ab crunches do work your six-pack, however, for better and more defined abs, spend the majority of your workout on exercises that burn more calories and shift body fat.
Be consistent: Focusing on your training and making abs should be an integral part of each and every workout.
Improve your diet: You have to eat your way to a six pack. Watch what you eat and focus on having supplements that are high in protein as they help in muscle building and keep the body fat low.
Vary your workouts: Vary your ab workout daily to work the different muscles in the abdominal area.
Core and more: Include isometric exercises (such as plank or side plank), as well as dynamic exercises (such as an ab crunch) in every workout. . IANS
