How to uncover those abs


I have abs I just know it, they are just covered by a layer of fat.  While how can I get those abdominals to be revealed?  Below are some great tips to help you shed that layer of fat.  Remember to accomplish getting those abs you have to think is this cookie, glass of wine, piece of candy worth not meeting my fitness goal or having good health?  If it is than go for it if not put down the thing that will keep your abs covered and go for that goal.  

8 tips for uncovering those abs

1. Drink 4-6 cups of green tea (I personally do this and it has boosted my metabolism by a few hundred calories!)

2. Perform Planks & Side Planks- These are my favorite exercise to do.  I enjoy doing these 5-6 times a week.  Challenge yourself to complete them in the morning so your abs stay tight all throughout the day. 

3. Add some intervals to your life- A good dose of cardio will help burn some unwanted belly fat.  Perform 1 minute at a fast pace than 30 seconds-1 minute at a slower pace.  Repeat for 20-30 minutes.

4. Tabata Training anyone- Check out this video for more tabata information http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhkgcUlxKx0

5. Log your food- Make sure you log your food for at least a few weeks so you can get an idea of how many calories you are eating, how much sugar, carbs, fats & protein you are consuming as well.

6. Get some sleep- Make sure you get around 8 hours of sleep a night.  If your under that most likely your going to be storing some extra fat around your middle. 

7. Find a stress reliever- If you have a lot of extra stress in your life try and find a method to relieve some pressure off of yourself.  I personally enjoy yoga & meditation a few times a week to center myself.

8. Eat good fat- Make sure your enjoying a good sprinkling of healthy fat throughout your day.  Almonds, avocados, olive oil, salmon to name a few.
