A couple of days ago, I revealed the “secret” to having a lean, tone stomach.
The secret is … there is no secret. Improving your diet, and following a well-designed exercise program that includes basic strength exercises, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and smart core exercises will get you there.
More protein, veggies, fruit and water … more squats and deadlifts … and targeted, intelligent training of your midsection.
That’s it.
But what are the best core exercises you should be doing? It just so happens that I’ve put together a guide to the Best Core Exercises for toning your midsection and improving the injury-prevention functions of your core … and I’m giving it away for free this week. If you’d like a copy, just shoot me a reply with “ABS” and I’ll send it to you.
Spoiler alert … performing endless sit-ups and crunches is not the answer. A safe, smart and well-balanced core exercise routine trains the following functions of the core:
● Anti-Extension … so you can alleviate lower back pain
● Anti-Rotation … so your body can withstand the rotational forces that come with exercise and other athletic activities
● Anti-Lateral Flexion … so simple daily tasks like carrying groceries or picking up your kids or grandkids can be accomplished safely
So if you want a toner, more attractive midsection and want to be able to exercise and enjoy outdoor activities without pain or injury, follow these simple steps. And if you’d like to check out my guide to the Best Core Exercises, just PM me and I’ll send it your way.
