5 rules to flat abs

1. Stop targeting those superficial muscles! That means, those crunches you're doing every day are not technically working. According to Yahoo Lifestyle, in order for you to lose 450 grams of fat you need to do 250 000 crunches a day, that means 100 crunches a day for 7 years!! If you ask me, i'd probably wouldn't even make it for a year. So start doing your planks by targeting your core muscles

2. Stop being a couch potato and start moving your bum! Best workout for your bum is the glute bridge march

3. Eat for your abs: 1. wholegrain breads & cereals
2. Chicken & turkey
3. Beans & Legumes
4. Olive oil
5. Peanut Butter
6. Green Veggies
7. Whey Protein Powder
8. Low Fat Dairy
9. Eggs
10. Berries
11. Oats
12. Nuts & Seeds

Eat more protein (fish, chicken. nuts... etc)
Avoid added & processed sugar
There's nothing wrong with fat - know your limits and eat with moderation

4. Stop the stress!! Stress encourages your body to store more fat

5. Believe it or not, but workout less. Doing abs work out everyday, won't do any good. You only need 3 sessions a week to get tone. Give your body a full day recovery before you do your next abs exercise. If you're body is used to the work out you're currently doing, its time to move on to a harder move. But you can still have your daily cardio exercise!!
