CrunchLess Abs?
The big mystery surrounding abs is amazing!
It seems that everywhere you turn there is someone promoting a product, machine or magic pill that will give you abs over night! Well, sorry to burst anyones bubble if they have just bought such a contraption, but there is no quick fix. However endless sit ups are not the answer either (phew!).
The main fact that most people seem to forget is that everybody has abs, some however are just covered up by excess stomach fat. So the most obvious decision by anybody in this predicament is to start losing any excess fat. This will enable their abs to show through (even if they are weak) and start strengthening them to get the six pack they want.
So to lose weight, the best place to start is in the kitchen. Cut out any food or drink that you know is bad, and that is half the problem solved! Foods such as crisps, biscuits, cakes, pies... You know what I mean!
Replace them with things you know are good for you such as:
- fruits
- vegetables
- sandwiches (brown bread)
- pasta
- nuts
- seeds
- white meats such as turkey, fish and chicken
This step is the biggest advance towards crunchless abs, believe it or not. Lets use the analogy of a car for example.
You want a car that performs well, but you only have an old shell.
You can either spend all your time and money on a high performance motor(endless crunches) , or a standard motor (no working out). But if you get the high performance motor and try to run it on muffin mix, it will not even go, however if you use the standard motor and put high quality gas in it(good quality food), you will be ahead by 10 fold!!
Of course you say, why can't I have a high performance car and high quality gas?Yes of course you can!! But taking your goal one step at a time is a must when you are beginning, and if this is the beginning for you, then change you nutrition habits before anything and you will see a world of changes before you even start working out.
