Let's see those abs
Posted on Feb 20th 2008 10:29AM by Chris Sparling
People often wonder what it takes to get a flat stomach. Millions upon millions of dollars are spent each year on ab-sculpting gizmos and so-called wonder pills, with most of these products doing little to help whittle your waist. On top of that, people spend hours at the gym in efforts to reduce their midsection, sometimes coming up short on their goals. What, then, does a person have to do to get a six-pack?
Despite what so-called fitness pundits may have told you years ago, dropping to the floor and banging out 500 crunches is not the answer. While it is true that performing ab exercise is vital to sculpting your stomach, it won't do the trick by itself. Equally important are diet and fat-burning cardio.
Whether you believe it or not, you actually already have abs. They're there -- trust me. Your job is to make them visible, which is why dropping body fat is crucial. You can choose from any number of cardio programs that we've highlighted in the past here on That's Fit, as well as several great posts on healthy eating that can help get you on your way.
