You do not need to do sit ups all day to increase tone and strengthen your abs…
Here are a few quick tips that, if done consistently, will reduce belly fat and tone your abs!
Add variety to you ab/core workouts.
Your abdominal muscles are comprised of four main groups:
Transversus abdominis (the deepest muscle layer found on the sides of the abdominal wall, these muscles are used for stability).
Rectus abdominis (your “six pack” muscles; these control movement of your middle).
External oblique muscles (side body muscles that are used to twist and turn your torso).
Internal oblique muscles (located right next to either side of your abdomen, these work with the external obliques to twist and turn).
Adding variety to your workouts helps to target these different muscle groups.
Planks and lying leg raises are great for the transversus abdominis, full sit ups and bicycle crunches are good for the rectus abdominis, and side planks and hay balers work well for the obliques.
Avoid foods with added sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup.
Your body stores the excess energy from sugar in your fat cells. Cutting out (or limiting) sodas and fruit juices - both high in sugar - can help reduce belly bloat and fat.
Increase your fiber intake.
Studies show that consuming soluble fiber can decrease and prevent belly fat.
Don’t skimp on the cardio!
Moderate to high intensity cardio raises your heart rate and helps to burn fat.
